Micropub.

Bexley's second Micropub, opened on 11 September 2014. A haven of real ale near the banks of the River Cray, where ale and cider are dispensed direct from the cask in a cold room with viewing window. A charity fine is no longer levied should your mobile phone ring, but you're asked to be discreet should you need to use it.Some focus on Kentish brewers, but not to the exclusion of regional independents. Five rotating craft beers on keg, draught Guinness. Increasing cider range with Dudda's Tun and Westons at its core. Placed in Branch Pub of the Year with Gold in 2022, Bronze in 2024 and Silver in 2025 plus London Regional runner-up 2016. During the summer months pavement seating and tables are provided, overlooking a small park by the river Cray. Additional rear room “The Back Wheel” for overflow seating, special event bookings. Quiz night alternate Weds. Open bank holidays 1 to 5pm, a good venue when these coincide with local public events. Check website, X, Facebook. 14 ciders wines, spirits, toasted cheese and ham sandwiches available.
