Fourth visit of the outing: Very busy on arrival early evening with eight real ales on in this tiny micropub which launched in December 2020 and laid out on two levels. Prompt, efficient service at the bar of this local CAMRA-accoladed Pub-of-the-Year that grew out of just being a flower shop before joining forces with its micropub operators. It in fact has been local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2023 to 2026 and Regional CAMRA Pub of the Year runner-up for 2025 and is currently one of the top-four national nominees for CAMRA Pub of the Year 2026.

Evening visit until close. Justifiably the Greater London Regional Pub of the Year 2026. Pretty much everything right here from welcome, ales, decor through to farewell. Well packed inside and in the pavement area too.

2nd visit of the outing: This little micropub in Chislehurst Royal Parade is never quiet on my Saturday early evening visits and this one proved to be no exception. Busy throughout its tiny interior but our party of three managed to gravitate to a table on its lower deck as you come in. We duly rounded up seating dotted about in odd corners. This former flower shop with just a flower-counter remaining at the very front as you come in on the right was most certainly thriving with many a neighbouring restaurant also in this parade attracting The Cockpit's customers no doubt. We were served quickly and stayed for at least two different real ales from its impressive range of 8, no less, real ales on. It does not accommodate KeyKeg and perhaps due to its lack of extra available space?

Never seen this little micropub so busy, both for outside seating at the front and on the inside for my early evening visit. Navigated my way to the bar. This was a bit of an assault course but made it and situated at the very back of this former flower shop with just a flower-counter remaining at the very front as you come in on the right. Was served quickly and then retraced my footsteps towards the front with my half for a quick perch on a seat that had just become available.

A brief visit as would've been rude not to as in the area, busy with the pavement seating at a premium on a warm sunny afternoon with a few spaces inside. Many folk like us were gricing the variety of vintage buses on route 61.

Early evening busy inside and out thanks to the mild sunny weather. A no doubt welcome oasis for beer choice in a nationally blanded area.

Evening visit on a cold wet night. Convenient for the 161 bus terminus just a minute away. All seating tables, bar one, were taken.

Evening visit until close. My first here and was most stuck by the prices, generally much higher than I am used to in a micropub.

I really liked this pub, my friends chose to sit outside but I enjoyed the wonderful interior and the smell of fresh flowers for a while before deciding to be semi-sociable and joining them outside.
