| I quite like this place. There is a fair selection of different beers (the now obligatory dark lager, different ales and lagers and a fair selection of Belgium bottled bear) Bar staff are excellent. Fast and efficient and friendly enough. They served me a cloudy pint and without any prompting they looked at it and said "That doesn't look right", tried again and then declared it off = top marks. My mate ordered a Duvel and they went off to find the right glass. The decor is pretty good and its got some outdoor seating. Friday and Saturday evening can be lively but not packed and with it being summer there is enough space outside to drink with the heath opposite. Can't comment on the food but looks a bit pricey - but then what pub aint pricey. Well worth a visit. tonydowson - 7 Jul 2008 13:00 |
| A very busy spot, having Shooters Hill opposite the place does prove very popular when the sun is out. Also popular with Charlton Supporters when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. At first my girlfriend was wary about going in here because of all the supporters sitting outside, but once we got inside we were pleasantly surprised. Having found a place to sit, we ordered food, which was very nice. Though the chef seemed bad tempered having to shout to the bar staff when there was an order to go out. Getting served drinks was a task as the staff were rushed off the feet. This place could do with some improvements i.e. more bar staff and the toilets need to be improved as they were not particularly nice. Will visit again though. Hold on I have.

| Blackheath was my regular drinking place during the 80's and 90's, before many of the pubs lost their character, but rarely used this one, so when a friend suggested we met here on a Friday night, I was expecting the worst (especially after reading some of the reviews here). I am glad to say I was pleasantly srprised. First of all, it wasn't heaving and there wasn't a single Bexleyheath "lemon squeezer" in sight. Service wasn't slow, in fact the barstaff were very friendly and helpful (they even topped up our pints without prompting!). The London Pride was very good (the pub has never been noted for its Ale) and yes, it was a bit pricey but so are a lot of places. Didn't have any food but a friend says that he has been for Sunday lunch a few times and has no complaints. Perhaps last night was just a fluke but I will be returning to find out. eveningall - 29 Mar 2008 20:29 |
| Gordon Ramsay - please put this on Kitchen nightmares! The food is terrible, the Sunday roast is overpriced and pathetic - fatty beef and postage stamp size Yorkshire pudding. I've recently moved to the area and therefore have a fresh view of the place rather than the reviewer below who can't even spell... Went last Friday for a drink with the girlfriend and we were shouted at by 3 drunk posh 40 year olds throwing crips at each other, while the bar staff ignored them. As it was a cold winter evening we tried the hot wine - tasted like a fruit smoothie put in the microwave with no alcohol. The 1 point is for location for when in summer you can leave the pub and sit on the Heath. timd - 12 Dec 2007 13:42 |
| Not quite sure what the previous 2 review relate to - This is my local abd I use thi splace a lot - the staff are top notch and extremely helpfull- the pub itself has an are for everyone, a cosu front bar with comfortable leather chesterfield chairs a good garden abd a nice quite conservative area -prices are fair (8 years living in Blackheath may may you a little immune to local beer prices.0 all in all, a great pub and a fantastic local ! jonnyh - 12 Dec 2007 13:17 |
