Couldn't agree more with Beefheart's assessment. Wonderful location, clean and tidy pub with competent staff but a horribly dull array of never-changing brown ales from the bigboys. Even if just 2 of the handpumps were dedicated to guest beers from aspiring microbreweries this place would be markedly better. But I doubt this will happen under the current regime.

Unique 'country pub' feel close to Chislehurst Station. Although I'm an irregular visitor both staff and other customers are always welcoming. Up to 5 real ales are available and they are always in good condition. It's a shame they miss an opportunity to serve some interesting local ales but concentrate on the national blands. With local ales it would score 9; without 6.

As a young local this is my pub of choice for a cosy night catching up with friends. The most picturesque and traditional pub in the area, there's a low-ceilinged copper-tabled upper tier and a more spacious lower section leading out to a small pleasant beer garden. Out the front is a huge grassy verge for those lazy summer evenings. It's a pub that appeals all year round: in the winter it's warm and comfortable, while in summer the outdoor space is used to its full advantage.

Staff are generally pleasant, there's still very much an everyone-knows-everyone-else feel but this doesn't mean first time visitors are treated any differently.

Bit of a nightmare to drive down to the minute carpark so I'd recommend testing your handbrake and parking on the road at the top of the little valley in which the pub nestles.

Agree with the last posters comments(on the 7th March)Have been to the RR many times - and the 'vinegar' reference for me is nonsense too.

Can't believe some idiot can suggest the beer at the Ramblers is 'vinegar'. I drink here about once each week and it is the most consistantly superb beer in Kent; and I have been drinking bitter for 50 years.
