Bickley, Chislehurstback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
More of a gastro pub feel to the place since the referb. Nice relaxed atmosphere on Saturday afternoon. Bar staff were pleasant and cheery. Didn’t sample the beer personally as was driving, but was told it was good. Will definitely give it another go.

A huge amount of work has been put into revamping this place and with great success. We visited one warm summer evening to find a huge, spacious beer garden, atmospherically lit, which grew popular as the evening progressed. Inside it's very open, perhaps with a little bit too much room.
The food is on the expensive side but the quality backs up the heftier price tags, which is a nice surprise in an area where pubs are not known for their high-quality fare.
The staff are friendly enough, no cause for complaint even if one or two youngsters seemed a little inexperienced - this happens everywhere.
Goes to show what considered time and money can actually do for a place if the right changes are made. Will be going back.

We visited the The Bickley (as it has been renamed) on Sunday. The beer was well kept although unfortunately, only Bombardier was on and no sign of any other hand pump ales. There was 12 in our party and the food was on first impressions on the expensive side (compared with other pubs in the area) but the size of the portions and the quality made it very apparent why this was the case. We will definitely be visiting again.

We visited this pub yesterday for sunday lunch. We had a table for 11 of us already booked. The venue itself is nicely decorated and very clean and welcoming. The beer garden is newly done up with plenty of room. We were glad we had booked as it was very busy!! The hosts were very accommodating as we wished to be seated outside in the sunshine, the food itself was lovely, although a little pricey. We also had great service! Very welcoming for children too. On all accounts this pub used to be an absolute dive but the new owners really have made it something special, we will visit again!!
