The Tigers Head, Chislehurst

Chef & Brewer chain pub overlooking Chislehurst Common. This was another one that was offering table service only. Greene King IPA & Abbot were the real ale offerings. Our drinks sat on the end of the bar for around 5 minutes before being delivered to the table, which is undoubtedly a problem with many pubs offering table service. At least they do a discount on real ales (halves and pints) for CAMRA card holders. The interior has numerous different seating areas, whilst there is a garden at the side with some undercover (and presumably heated) seating.

The dark brick and paintwork may look slightly austere, yet this still quite an attractive pub at the south-east corner of Chislehurst Common. The interior has been thoroughly modernised, but there is still some character in the numerous small seating / dining areas on three sides of the central servery. There is also a sizeable patio beer garden to one side featuring a mural of a country scene as viewed through three arches. As a barely branded Chef & Brewery establishment, this is very much food-led of course, but I found Greene King IPA, Abbot and a decent Hogs Back TEA (curiously priced at £3.98).
