Tigers Head, Chislehurst

Chef & Brewer dining pub.

Situated in a picturesque spot opposite both 15th C. St Nicholas Church and the green, this popular dining pub follows the standard Chef & Brewer format, with the atmosphere being more that of an upmarket restaurant. However, casual drinkers are still welcome but seating inside may be restricted for dining only, especially at busy periods.

Various tastefully decorated rooms and cosy areas lead off from the main bar, with all tables laid out and reserved for dining. The wooden bar is decked out in dark grey with a few tables available for drinking only but can also be reserved for dining. Wooden and brick pillars separate the bar area from the various dining areas, with wooden beams and shades of blue and grey on the walls with framed prints. The flooring is a mix of wood and flagstones. The dim lighting provides a cosy and intimate atmosphere.

Weekends are usually busy, especially for Sunday Roasts, at which point table service may be in operation for drinks. Booking is advisable. On Friday to Sunday, the pub opens at 9.30 am for breakfast.

For outside drinking and dining, there is a large patio garden to the side, complete with flower troughs and pots. This also contains a large covered lean-to with decking as well as cabins with framed prints on a tiger theme (non-smoking). A small mobile bar is present for the summer months.

Cask ales are now solely from Greene King.
