A short walk away from Eltham station away from the High Street but it is well worth the trip. This is a very good Micro Ale house in a former plumber’s shop. As has been mentioned its bigger than most with the main bar you walk into and then a second room around to the left of the bar. Five ales straight from the barrels in the cold room for my visit, which were Tonbridge Pond Life Session Bitter and Blonde Ambition Golden Ale, Mad Cat Unsinkable Sam Best Bitter, Iron Pier Wealdway IPA and a very decent Musket Brewery Powder Burn Porter, with prices from £4 to £5 a pint depending on abv.
I thought this was one of the better examples of the genre.

Excellent example of a micro pub, and filling a need in a publess area. Two adjoining rooms with a bright feel, helped by a fair amount of light wood. The small bar at the back fronts a cooled stillage room with an enticing array of barrels, while the long passageway to the toilets is stacked with an equally impressive selection. On this visit it seemed to specialise in Old Dairy beers, but quite a good range on offer. Worth seeking out.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Long Pond
This micro-pub is larger than it initially appears because there is a second room (decorated as more of a lounge) down a step at the back of the more expected alehouse-style main room. There is a small counter here, but all the real ales are served on gravity from the cool room. I found a choice of six - mostly from Kent breweries - including a splendid Red Spider Rye from Pig & Porter (£3.60).
