Popular Harvester dining pub with an emphasis on being family friendly.
Rebuilt in 1957 as a replica of the previous pub built in 1938 and destroyed by a V2 rocket in 1944. This retains the distinctive chimneys which survived. A blue plaque was unveiled in 2011 in memory of those killed and injured.

Historic Interest
The original "Crooked Billet" started in a farmhouse built in 1617 and evolved as a beer house to cater for visitors to the nearby race course that once existed on nearby Bromley Common (the first licence was granted around 1785). This continued as a beer house (at one time owned by the Dartford Brewery) until the late 1920s whereupon a wine licence was issued, the spirits licence being issued in 1935. The pub was rebuilt behind the original farmhouse (demolished to make way for the car park) in 1938 and subsequently destroyed in 1944. A temporary shed was opened in 1950, which served until the pub was rebuilt in 1957/8. The Blue Plaque reads: "IN MEMORY OF ALL THOSE KILLED AND INJURED AT THIS SITE BY A V2 ROCKET WHICH DESTROYED THE CROOKED BILLET ON SUNDAY 19th NOVEMBER 1944. NOT FORGOTTEN"
