Community pub.

Located on the edge of Keston Common, this pub is popular with locals and visitors alike. The pub is strongly engaged with the local community - beer festivals, Morris dancing and fund-raising events are regularly held. There are also quiz and poker nights, and occasional live entertainment. Regular beer festivals are held, especially during the Easter weekend, when up to 15 non mainstream beers are normally available.

There is a large area out front with plenty of table sets, which is popular in warmer weather. In addition, there is a back garden with patio and children's play area and which also contains a tea room which is available for meetings and other functions.

The pub was acquired by Shepherd Neame from Enterprise at the end of June 2016 but many real ales from other breweries are available.

Dogs are welcome, as are cyclists and walkers (the London LOOP trail is close by).

A time-honoured tradition (for over 60 years) is for the local Ravensbourne Morris Men to perform outside on Boxing Day.

Note that opening times vary according to the time of year: Hours displayed are for March to October (as are food service times) but may be subject to change and could close early if quiet.

Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2017 and runner-up in 2016.

Historic Interest

Developed in the late 19th C. from a beer-house (and later owned by the Dartford Brewery), this was originally a Kentish weatherboarded building until demolished in 1938 to make way for the car park and replaced by a new building situated behind. This was then almost destroyed following a direct hit during the Blitz in 1940 and subsequently rebuilt. The tea rooms remain in the garden as the Tea House from the interwar period, one of several that surrounded Hayes Common at that time to cater for the growing popularity of walking and cycling.
