See more about this pub on CAMRA's national web site

This tastefully refurbished 19th C. Shepherd Neame pub overlooks Chislehurst Common and St Nicholas parish church. It is one of only a handful of Shepherd Neame pubs that have guest rooms available. It can get very popular in sunny weather with many people sitting outside. Parking is available on the narrow street, but it can be very busy at times.

The stylish interior has an open plan L-shaped bar with large windows that bring in plenty of light and mixed tiled and wooden flooring. There is an assortment of high and low tables and seating with stools that surround the wooden bar. This leads into the large and impressive dining area, with its mixed décor of dark blue and cream, exposed brick, complete with floral prints. The orangery with its roof lantern has patio doors that open out into the remodelled garden. The theme is clean and modern, whilst retaining plenty of traditional character.

Many events are held in the pub, including quiz, jazz and open mic evenings. It is also home to several local community groups.

The large patio garden is divided into various areas with assorted seating and covered shelters, overlooked by tall trees.

As well as up to four cask ales from Shepherd Neame, there are several keg beers from the same brewery.

Re-opened in Spring 2023 following an extensive renovation and going on to win a "Highly Commended" award on 19th June 2024 in the Refurbishment category of CAMRA's Pub Design Awards.

Breakfast is served 8 am to 10.30 am every day.
