Opening in September 2021, this is the second "Real Ale Way" to open within Bromley borough and operates in a similar manner to its well-known predecessor in nearby Hayes. Quickly establishing itself as a popular venue with a mixed clientele, this is friendly and welcoming to all.
A former soft furnishings shop, the premises have large double aspect windows, mirrors, exposed floorboards and cream coloured walls making the single room light and bright, along with several lampshades. Traditional prints of Kentish farms along with pictures by local artists (some of which are for sale) complement the contemporary interior. The wooden bar has mirrored drinks shelving behind with a maroon coloured back wall. There is a range of high and low seating and tables, plus stools by the bar.
Up to eight cask ales are available, almost all of which are sourced from smaller breweries in Kent, dispensed by gravity from a cold room at the back. The house bitter and pale cask ales are from the Tonbridge and Larkins breweries respectively. A house keg lager is also available from the Westerham brewery.
As well as a range of real cider from Kent, there is also wine, spirits and Prosecco available. Some of the wines plus gin, vodka and rum are sourced from a wide range of Kent producers (including Anno, Bathtub, Chapel Down, Greensand, Boutique-y and Copper Rivet)
On Sunday afternoons, there is usually a complimentary cheeseboard.
Highly Commended award given in 2024 by the local CAMRA branch.
(Despite the address in Station Road, West Wickham station is less than 10 minutes walk away)
