Agora closing, becoming a BBQ restaurant

Agora - 66 High St, Beckenham BR3 1ED - is currently temporarily closed, and according to the signage and website is turning into a BBQ restaurant called Smoke-N-Flame. We don't have any proper BBQ places here in Beckenham, so this will be a welcome addition for me and my belly.


Gyros Amigos changing into burger club

Gyros Amigos, which has been closed for a while with a sign saying "we are changing our concept", seems to be changing entirely to a burger place. There's new signage up, calling itself "The Groove Burger Club", so we'll wait and see what it's like soon.

Shame to lose Gyros Amigos though, their mix of Greek and Mexican was something we don't have at all here in Beckenham.

Your Bowl now open

The new poke bowl restaurant, Your Bowl, is now open! I haven't been in there yet to try it out, but it looks great, and was nice and busy every time I went past.

Br3wery Beckenham now open!

The new Br3wery taproom in Beckenham is now open - it's on the corner opposite Kelsey House, at 1 Kelsey Park Rd, Beckenham BR3 6LH. The day it opened it was very full, with people spilling out onto the pavement, and looked to be very popular. I'm hoping to pop in this weekend to, er, test all the ales.

Gyros Amigos temporarily closed for refurbishment

Gyros Amigos, the recently opened Greek-Mexican restaurant, is temporarily closed for a refurbishment. The sign on the door also says "we are changing our concept", which would be a shame if they change it too much, their food was absolutely delicious. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long, and I can get back in there for some lunch.



Poke Bowl and Br3w3ry opening soon

Spotted two new places the other day while out and about: Your Bowl, a poke bowl place that I'm very excited about, and a Br3w3ry mini taproom, which I'm even more excited about. Fill up on ale, then have a healthy poke bowl to balance it out. Everybody's happy.

The new Br3w3ry is on Kelsey Park road, by the Curry Cottage, over the road from Daisy's coffee shop, and Your Bowl is on the high street, just before the florist near the George Inn. I'll keep an eye out and update when they're closer to opening. Your Bowl is hiring as well, details in the image below:




Greggs now open!

The dream is finally a reality... a brand new Greggs has just opened today in Beckenham, on the site of the old Homefayre shop - 272 High St, Beckenham BR3 1DZ 

In related news, in about a week I will overdose on vegan sausage rolls. Please don't send flowers, just send more sossie rolls.
