Large pub with plenty of nooks and crannies. More of an eating place than drinking but having a drink without food is OK. Real ale is usually available but not always, even at weekends. Bought by Marston's and re-furbished in 2018, but publicly announced (October 2024) as subject to renovation by a name associated with the Renaissance Pub Co which also has the King's Arms, Bexleyheath.
Historic Interest
Opened March 1999 and created in a listed 18th Century house, used most recently as Bexley Council offices and surrounded by public parkland. The building dates from 1743 and was altered and added to during the 19th Century. In 1907 it became a school and to prevent its development it was acquired in 1933 by the then local council and used as its headquarters with the grounds open to the public. The main entrance is now via a tiled porch from the large car park. The maze of ground floor rooms, including the former Council Chamber, has been sensitively converted into individual eating/drinking areas retaining some of the original panelling, fireplaces etc. The main staircase gives access to three upstairs meeting rooms available for hire (without bar facilities). Emphasis is on eating but rooms to rear, decorated with period kitchen equipment, offer a potential refuge for drinkers.
