Traditional pub

A traditional, well-kept late Victorian pub tucked away in the quiet back streets just north of Bromley town centre. Friendly and welcoming, this attracts a wide range of customers of all ages where conversation is popular as well as having a strong community spirit.

From the carpeted front area, the decor is traditional with many original features retained including the tiling and a dark wood bar with ornate columns. Shades of green lend themselves to the ceiling and curtains, complementing the maroon patterned wallpaper complete with framed photographs. An extensive library of books dominates one wall by the door. An ornate mirror hangs over the tiled fireplace. The bar area is more narrow with wooden flooring, leading up to a more modernised area with drinking shelves and high chairs as well as the popular dartboard.

Out front there is an enclosed paved area with table sets and a trough planter for flowers whilst at the back of the pub there is a deceptively large garden area on shingle with more table sets.

Up to five cask ales are available, with two that change on a regular basis. Lagers, wine, spirits, soft drinks plus tea and coffee are available at all times.

Food is limited to Barrel & Stone artisan pizzas.

Sports are popular, with both men's and ladies' darts teams as well as a golf society.

Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2012 and joint runner-up in 2019.

Historic Interest

Originally located on an old footpath that ran through farmland, this was built to serve the outward expansion of Bromley (in what was then called New Bromley), sometime in the early 1880s. The area was characterised by artisan dwellings and North Road was originally called Trafalgar Terrace. The suburb began in the 1860s and was further enhanced by the opening of the railway line to Bromley North station in 1878.
