After being closed for a year or so, The Forestdale Arms was reopened in July 2024 as the Kingsmen, by butchers Bashford & Co. in partnership with a local church group, Built in the 1960's as part of the Forestdale development this is a large open-plan pub at the lower end of Selsdon, serving the local estate, and was given Asset of Community Value status in 2018. The pub opens for community activities in the mornings, and various spaces within the pub can be hired for private events. Cask ale is no longer available. Steak meals are served on Sundays. The small shopping centre nearby boasts one of the best fish and chip restaurants for miles.
