A popular and friendly local community pub tucked away in a quiet residential area of Bromley Common. Single L-shaped bar with wooden panelling. The walls are adorned with decorative plates and pictures whilst hops hang from the ceiling. There are also comfy seats around the fireplace, plus a couple of TV screens. The bar opens onto a larger and more modern well lit room. Overall, deceptively spacious with a large conservatory which can be used as a function room.

Following closure around the beginning of February 2023, it has been refurbished to a high standard and re-opened on 27 October 2023. Real ale is now served again, following its discontinuation in 2015.

Keg beers include Beavertown.

Historic Interest

Built in 1870 as a beer-house following the expansion of suburban development in the Bromley Common area (the first owner was also a dairy farmer). This was later owned by the Dartford Brewery. The location was previously used for gravel pits, thus giving Gravel Road its name.
