A decent traditional locals pub. The main bar room is L shaped with an additional small room of to the righthand side with a beer garden to the rear accessed on the lefthand side. Five beers on when I visited and as BF found a couple of years ago , a bit samey, London Pride, Brains Rev James, Adnams Broadside, Bexleys Own Beer and my choice of Harveys Sussex Best. I lingered a while as I chose to have breakfast there.
A bit of a hike from the station but worth it, a more adventurous beer choice would be welcome.

A charming,small locals boozer with a Courage cockerel sign outside marking this as old school in a good way.The interior is cosy with two wings,more of a public bar to the left,lounge to the right.Everything is very traditional,bench seating,some dining type tables,hanging ornaments and busy atmosphere with lots of chatter.There is a small beer garden to the rear.Pub grub food is served,it looked good.
A GBG 2025 entry with ales on my trip the regulars London Pride,Adnams Southwold Bitter,Harveys Sussex Best,Bexley BOB with a single guest of Bexley The Big Ten (NBSS 3.5,£4.50).Shame that the selection was all quite samey,with not much style or strength variety but I guess that's what the local CAMRA branch like.
It's a pub worth visiting and I like the fact that prices for ale are most reasonable.Higher marks would have been awarded for a more adventurous choice of real ale.

This charming traditional pub dates back to the mid 19th Century and is a slightly incongruous find in the middle of the relatively new housing estate that surrounds it. The pub has a simple U shaped layout that would previously have been split into two separate bars, but now forms one single room wrapping around the centrally positioned servery. The servery is directly opposite as you enter and presents a nice period counter and bar back with a large pump clip collection on the canopy, from which a collection of pewter tankards and ceramic jugs are hung. The room is carpeted throughout and offers a mix of padded bench and pew seating plus standard chairs and low stools, all serving a variety of tables, several of which are made from old Singer sewing machine frames. Various high shelves display eclectic items including a collection of copper goblets, delft style plates and other odds and ends. In the rear corner, next to a small brick fireplace, there is a nice embroidered image of the pub which someone obviously invested a lot of time and effort to lovingly produce. Hops line the walls, neatly capping the ‘rural’ feel the pub has managed to retain in spite of the surrounding urban sprawl. A good atmosphere was generated by the steadily building crowd on my Saturday early evening visit and this was not impeded by the music that quietly played in the background.
There was a good range of ale available on this visit, comprising Adnams Southwold Bitter, Sharps Doom Bar, Brains Rev. James, Harvey’s Best, Fullers London Pride, Bexley B.O.B and George Gale Firecracker. The local Bexley brew cost £2.95 for a pint and was in tip-top condition, served by one of the two genial barmen on duty. Food is also available here, with Italian dishes apparently featuring prominently, although I failed to spot any menus during my visit.
This was a very enjoyable visit and a most welcome peaceful retreat from the loud, bright bars on the main Bexleyheath drag. This is a classic back street pub of the type that deserves to thrive and I would highly recommend a visit if in the area. It is worth noting that the pub keeps ‘traditional’ opening hours, so don’t do what I did and turn up to find the place closed mid-afternoon. Opening times are: Mon – Fri: 11:00-15:00 and 17.30-23:00, Saturday 11:00-15:00 and 19:00-23:00, Sunday 12:00-16:00 and 19:00-22.30.
