Bucking Fastard left this review about Bo-Peep
A country dining pub but close to M25 Junction 4.The original building is very old,and this part of the pub has heavy beams and a very low ceiling,but two large extensions to the roadside and at the car park side create a disjointed feel to the exterior making the claim of 15th century look optomistic.The tap room is the best part,a small inglenook,low entrance ,pleasant servery all very traditional but the tables in this area will be used by diners.There is a seperate dining area to the right,another in a small room extension,while around the side of the bar is a third dining area in a conservatory.The staff are friendly and you could just pop in for a drink as long as you can find an unreserved table.The garden is extensive and offers more drinking only options.
The food offering is hearty pub grub and well cooked with premium pricing just about justified.Two ales offered from the three handpumps Bexley Redhouse and The Craft Beer Man Garden of England NBSS 3 but neither exciting nor matching the quality of the food.Gastro pubs rarely extend their offer to top rated ale,so I wouln't return for the ale but might well pitch up again for the food.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bo-Peep
Surprisingly, given how close to the south-east edge of the Greater London conurbation this is, it retains a real country dining pub feel in the various seating / restaurant areas. It also has a relaxed beer garden round the back. Three real ales on handpump: a house beer of unknown provenance, Doom Bar and an Orange Pale Ale from the local Craft Beer Man (£5.00).

It was reasonably quiet here on our mid/late-afternoon visit to the Chelsfield area.
Whilst they weren't serving food at this time, there were still a few drinkers around and perhaps some leftover diners from lunchtime.
We were encouraged to take a seat outside, where drinks were brought out. The solitary real ale was Westerham Spirit of Kent.
If coming to Chelsfield and also visiting the Five Bells, I would recommend visiting the Five Bells first, as the local R7 bus does a circular routing only going from the Five Bells to the Bo Peep and not in the opposite direction. Otherwise, you can walk uphill from Knockholt station, as we did.
Nice country pub, the sort you could not imagine existing in Greater London.
