The Freelands Tavern, Bromley

The four handpumps here were all clipped for Greene King IPA, so therefore no choice. It's obviously a Greene King pub but another choice would have been welcome. This is still a homely backstreet locals' pub. It's carpetted, with mainly normal tables and chairs, but with some tall tables/tall stools and a sofa or two at the back on the right. The bar back and peninsular bar counter look original, and the door marked to the saloon bar on the left still has it's etched glass panel. There also some delightful stained glass panels above the main windows as well. It was doing a good trade when I was in early evening on a Wednesday. This is the sort of traditional locals' pub that I like; a better ale selction would be a definite plus though.

The Freelands Tavern is a decent looking back street pub that is one of five in this area. Once inside there is a single U shaped room with the bar facing,the right side has a darts board,there are normal tables and chairs to the front,the left side is down a step,this area is bare boarded and has normal tables and chairs. The pub is a Greene King tied house,there were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Morland Original which was a decent enough drink,the other beers were GK London Glory and IPA. I was quite happy having a drink in this pub. Pub visited 14/2/2015
