4 Royal Parade, Chislehurst, BR7 6NR (View on Google Map)

The Cockpit is Chislehurst's first micropub, and opened its doors for the first time in late December 2020, unfortunately with the Covid crisis in full swing. It was able to begin operating more normally the following summer as lockdown eased and quickly became a popular addition to the local community. A choice of real ales from small breweries from all over the country is available, served from a cold room behind the small bar. A board behind the bar displays what is currently available. Bar snacks are also available. The atmosphere is easy going and chatty, with a £1 fine for using any mobile phones or foul language.

The deceptively spacious premises are shared with a florist, with wooden panelling, beams and flooring along with exposed brickwork and hops adorning the ceiling. There is plenty of assorted seating inside with low tables in the front area, complete with former fireplace, plus further high tables and bench seating by the small bar at the rear.

Further seating is available with benches outside on the covered enclosed pavement, which can get busy in warmer weather.

The pub is named after the ancient Cockpit which is situated a few minutes walk away on Chislehurst Common (see picture).

Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2023-2025. Regional CAMRA Pub of the Year runner-up for 2024.

Historic Interest

Royal Parade was built in the 1860s and was originally called Village Street. This was renamed as such after the exiled French Imperial family arrived in December 1870 and lived at nearby Camden Place.
