A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. We are the largest pub in Blackfen. We have a diverse clientele throughout the week and lend ourselves to a younger guest on the weekends because of our large late-night offering. We show all kinds of sports on our thirteen screens as well as host weekly quizzes, karaoke, bingo, and club nights. This, along with our great range of ales and beers, makes us the place to be. Our food offering is great quality pub grub with daily and weekend deals. We are located on the main bus route into Bexleyheath and Greenwich, so transport is great day and night.
