Reopened 30th March 2023 after refurbishment by Greene King as one of their Hive Pubs. Interior decor is in shades of grey with a mix of wooden flooring and carpet. Single long bar with three handpulls, featuring cask ales from the Greene King stable. At one end of the bar, a room leads off for the dartboard, whilst at the other end, it is more spacious for dining. Bow fronted windows are a feature of the building. Note the 1896 map on the ceiling showing the locality with a tribute to the Orpington Chicken and Duck being bred by William Cook in the 1890's. Pictures of chickens complement the walls.
There are several TVs, all showing major sporting events. Food is available all day, including childrens' and seniors' menus. Pizzas are also available to eat in or takeaway. Sunday roasts are also popular as well as daily special deals.
Outside, there is a small patio area, partially covered at one end with a TV. There is also an adjacent community noticeboard.
Handy for Orpington Station (a couple of minutes walk away for any frustrated or thirsty commuters !).
