Typical locals back-street pub, bit of character, beer good enough, good crawl around here.

I did not appear that they were expecting any customers at 12 noon on New Years Day, but the staff obliged with a nice pint of Shepherd Neame Porter and a friendly smile.

Cosy, welcoming little pub tucked well away from the bustle of Bromley(North) high street. Spitfire and Whitstable ales are excellent (no longer serving Whitstable - alas) but still have a decent range of ales. Unfortunately genuine pubs like this are becoming an endangered species in Bromley.

After the non existence of any bar staff in the Crown & Anchor..this pub is great
|
Nice and Friendly pub....Real Ale kept well..although typical Shep' prices...a tad expensive.
|
Excellent small pub. Great service.

A cracking boozer. Went last week as part of a walking tour of Bromley pubs, (some good, some bad!) This was a gem. Mind you saying that, first pint (of Whitstable Ale,) was well off. Still they changed it without fuss.
Was a bit concerned thatwhile I was there, there seemed to be a NIMBY meeting about the pubs application for a late licence. Hope it doesn't cause too many problems for what is a gem of a pub in the area.

A smashing backstreet pub only a few minutes from the festering boil that is Bromley High Street.
The Sheps' Early Bird was served in excellent condition. The barman was friendly and efficient, and good home cooking was very much in evidence.
The Early Bird was expensive at £2.75 a pint, but it's a small price to pay to drink in a pleasant Chav-free environment. There is a patio which is pleasant on a warm sunny day, but on Saturday, it was a question of moving to stay in the sun.
Two medium sized T.V.s were screening Man U - Chelski match at a bit of an intrusive volume if standing at the front of the pub near the door, but this didn't really detract from my enjoyment of the pub. I arrived there just before 13.00 to meet some acquaintnces and did'nt leave till gone 17.00, so it can't have been too bad.
All in all, worth the trip up from the coast, the Anglesey Arms warrants a well deserved 8/10.

Great pub. Out of the way so has avoided the less desirable local elements (the 13-17 yr olds packed into every other pub in town fri/sat nights with a broken bottle in their back pockets). Seems to be the best of a good bunch around the old town area. Went in for the first time on New years day. The pleasant atmosphere soothed my headache as i gently drank away my hangover whilst chatting to the friendly barmaids. Great locals pub, just a shame that they didn't have the foresight to locate it nearer my house or i'd be there all the time.
Highly recommended.

wholly concur with previous posts. Hidden gem of a boozer and well worth a visit.

A great little pub, very clean and well run. It's small and cozy with an outdoor area for those nice nights. Pints were great and served with a smile in the intimate atmosphere. Absolutely no chance of any trouble given the pub's style, the chavs wouldn't be comfortable! Recommended for a night of friendly drinking, or a pub where you would actually like to chat to a friend.

A smart, well-maintained, friendly Shepard Neame tavern off the beaten track, far superior to the more easily-soughtafter Bricklayers Arms. Staff are welcoming & steak sandwich specials were excellent at £3 a piece. Interesting wallhangings of Napoleonic history etc. Beer was of high quality, Shepard Neame Spitfire, Master Brew & the seasonal Early Bird graced the pumps but slighlty stung the pockets at around £2.50 a pint. Sport shown on 2 medium-sized TV screens but not allowed to take over. All in all a quality boozer.

This is one of the real back street gems around Bromley North. Until recently this pub was small, real small. Around Nov 04 it was expanded to about double the size, but has still managed to retain the small backstreet pub feel.
A Shepard Neame pub whose beer is always served perfectly and by frieendly staff. Always very clean and has also recently expanded the beer gardens (one in the front, and one out the rear).
The only downside is that when busy, the pub can become very, very smokey. Although the recent expansion and carbon filters added have helped, it can still be quite dense. If it were not for this, I would have rated the pub 10.
