Food is very poor. Beef stew was awful - tiny lumps of hard beef - hardly any veg - a smattering of peas and carrots in a bland watery sauce. Two huge dumplings tried to rescue a sad excuse for a stew. £18 for this was outrageous!! Cheeseburger and fries was underwhelming for a pricey £17!!Service on the other hand was efficient and friendly - no complaints and they did remove said beef stew from the bill.Such a shame the food is so poor as its a beautiful pub.

This is a very pleasant and social place to meet and have drinks and eat with friends and family.

Lovely pub and gardens. What a great vibe to the place ✨️

Service was good. Few minor details, such as no salt and pepper on table, no butter for toast with soup. I had mussels as a main, delicious flavour but overcooked and it would have been nice to have some bread to mop up the mussel sauce. Reasonably priced.Parking: No trouble parking on forecourt

I had a great time and experience on Sunday here. The food was great and my server Keelan was very nice and anything he needed he helped me with

My husband and I held our wedding reception there it was very good service and food. Olga the event coordinator helped with everything and could have been able to hold this special day without her help. Highly recommend

We love coming down here and last night was no different, we had a wonderful Sunday dinner. The place is very dog friendly, inside and outside. Staff were fantastic and the food was great too.The only small mark down is due to our table (inside) being close to the door going outside which was left open and it was a breezy.Parking: You can park along station road as chislehurst station is nearby

Dora was absolutely lovely and so hardworking. Though very busy she accommodated us and the food was very nice.

Although this is a large establishment with plenty of seating areas l can't say it has any outstanding features other than the obvious pride their serving staff have in pleasing their customers. 2 of us asked for hot water because we were chilly after visiting the caves and it came in teapots with a cup and saucer free of charge. Everyone's orders were accommodated albeit a little slowly as there were 19 of us. I struggled to find something on the menu as lm not a huge lunch person. I wanted a toasted sandwich ( they seemed to have fallen out of fashion) but ended up with two fairly black lustre sides. My friends mains looked fine and no one else seemed to have any trouble with the menu. They could do with better vegetarian and vegan options. One of us managed to find macaroni cheese on the kids menu. Wished ld seen that. My battered sausages were a bit boring.This place obviously comes into it's own in warmer weather with two large outdoor seating spaces, one in front and one behind. There's a basket of blankets and extra cushions by the sliding doors. Unfortunately our tables were closed by this too which was a bit breezy. It's not far from the local rail station or the caves..It's a Youngs tavern therefore expect to see the usual range of beers, ciders and lager. If you download the Youngs app, enter the location it will guide you through your options.Vegetarian options: Need more salad and pasta choices.Kid-friendliness: At weekends it definitely caters to families with children's seats available. There's a kids menu and staff are very helpful.Wheelchair accessibility: You are best advised to call ahead to book the upper area inside or to ask for assistance in ordering if you choose to sit in either of the outdoor areas. I'm not sure if there's a gate that leads you into the back garden.
