Dining pub.

Fine old Grade II listed Shepherd Neame pub located in Leaves Green and which was popular with pilots from the nearby Biggin Hill airfield in the Second World War. Refurbished in mid-2017 to a high level with new and varied menu, and large wine selection.

All real ale is from Shepherd Neame with up to three available, which may vary but could include Spitfire, Masterbrew and Whitstable Bay Pale Ale.

The pub has a real fire in winter and a large garden. Live music and other upcoming events are detailed on a blackboard.

Note that the pub is closed on Mondays.

Historic Interest

The original building dates from the early 19th C. but has been much extended and altered since. Located at the northern edge of the common, this served the hamlet of Leaves Green which retains several cottages dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Adjacent to the inn was once a tollgate house, due to its location on the Bromley to Westerham road. Following a fatal accident in a nearby chalk mine in 1896, the body of a miner was brought to the inn for an inquest and his ghost is still believed to haunt the premises. The pub later became a tied house for the Nalder & Collyer brewery from Croydon.
