A single-story estate pub from the 1960s, shabby outside but welcoming inside. The bar sits on a raised platform, the car park and garden being a level below as the pub is built on a hill. The single large bar is carpeted apart from an area around the entrance which has laminate flooring. There are gaming machines, tv screens and a pool table, and free wifi is available. Smokers are encouraged to use the area at the front entrance. There are a few interesting pictures associated with Biggin Hill's RAF heritage around the walls, and there are England flags on the ceiling and walls to add a patriotic note. Two pumps on the bar, but only Doombar was on offer. This was in very good condition and a welcome pint. The staff were a bit dim, and there were several 'customers' lying around, but none of them seemed to be buying anything. It's a good enough local boozer, and their beer is fine, but given its location, it''s not worth including on a crawl and while I'd be happy to come in if passing, I don't see my rushing back.
