Evening. Excellent new venue which was as busy as if it had always been there. I hope the Guv keeps to only Kentish brewery ales (even if the pub is in London!) as a USP.

The pub is found in Petts Wood, Greater London, BR5 1LA.
Micropub opened 23rd May 2014 at 209 Petts Wood Road, just round the corner from Station Square, which was formerly Bradleys Wine Bar. Predominantly Kentish beers sold. Also offered are wines and ciders and cold cheeses and meats. A much needed and welcome alternative in the village of Petts Wood. A charity fine is levied for mobile phone use inside. A wide wooden bar counter, behind which is a temperature controlled cellar room and you can watch your drink being poured on gravity dispense through the door's window. Jugs are in use for larger orders. High tables are located around the walls. Pavement seating under a shop awning for finer days. As at June 2014 closed on Mondays. CAMRA Bromley Branch Pub of the Year 2015, 2016 and 2022. CAMRA Greater London Regional Pub of the Year 2015. Beware that some closing times advertised are when you must vacate the pub by, not when you may order drinks up until. If planning a late visit phone ahead and ask bar staff upon arrival.
We have visited this pub 35 times, seen 105 different beers and tried 49 of them.
