The closest pub to the famous Battle of Britain airfield, the Black Horse is comfortable and welcoming with an L-shaped bar area and with the large windows giving it a light and airy feel. This was rebuilt in 1908 replacing a previous building on the same site.

Current management have been in place since 2017.

Note that opening hours may change according to the season. Winter times (to end of March 2024) have been:

Mon-Thu 3pm-11pm, Fri-Sat noon-midnight, Sun noon-8pm

Historic Interest

Situated in a rural location on the main Bromley to Westerham road, the original half weatherboarded public house dated from 1809 and was formerly a pair of cottages. This served as the centre to the hamlet of Biggin Hill (within the parish of Cudham). This was then replaced in 1908 by the current building by Nalder & Collyer brewery at a time when nearby plots were being sold for housing development (leading to the disjointed creation of Biggin Hill as a township).
