Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Prince Frederick
Good-looking backstreet suburban pub, but right on the Green Chain Walk and close to Sundridge Park station. Gives the impression of having an unspoilt heritage interior, although it appears that there must have originally been two separate bars at the front, and there's another at the back also served from the central counter. However, it still looks great, with dark wood-panelling, two 1930s feature fireplaces and unusual frosted glass ceiling panels. Three Greene King beers on offer from the four handpumps: IPA, Old Speckled Hen (£5.40) and Abbot.

A Camra Regional Inventory pub because of its historic interior. The vitrolite ceiling panels were very unique and the first I have come across them. They look like white plastic panels at first, but are in fact opaque glass panels fitted into frame work throughout the ceiling measuring roughly about two foot square each. The pub also has some decent oak wall panelling and a couple of tiled fireplaces dating from the 1930's. This is very much a locals pub and found down a side street in a residential area. The locals and staff were very welcoming and chatty and one particular chap sitting at the bar, found great interest in telling me about the pub and the local history in the surrounding area. Beer wise not very exciting, Abbott or GK IPA, I went for a half of Stella, whilst Mrs A had a coke.

The Prince Frederick is a really nice looking pub that is set in a back street.
Once inside there is a single L shaped room with the bar facing,the left side is bare boarded and has normal tables and chairs,there are two back to back bench seats in the middle area,the right side is carpeted and has normal tables and chairs.
I did note the unusual ceiling but dont know how to describe it.
The pub is a Greene King tied house,there were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Belhaven Grand Slam which went down very well in a nice pub,the other beers were Skinners Splendid Tackle and GK IPA and Abbot.
Food is available there were menus on the window sills,quite background music was playing.
The pub was fairly busy with older drinkers.
This is a very pleasant pub that was worth the walk from Bromley town centre.
