The Bickley - having been a restaurant with no real-ale for more than 5 years - has been restored as a traditional pub, with first real-ale flowing from the new handpumps in September 2013. It then closed again for substantial refurbishment before reopening again in July 2014.

This large pub - which is operated by Young's following the takeover of Redcomb pubs - is close to Chislehurst caves, and benefits from a substantial garden and function rooms. A restaurant area - smaller than before - has been retained, but casual drinkers are welcomed.
