The Coach and Horses, Beckenham

I have been in this pub a few times in the past and have never found anyone cliquey, just seems like a normal local pub, agreed slightly scruffy, but clean, and as is small with low ceilings can be smoky.

Haven't tried the food, will have to give it a go

The Bricklayers Arms, Beckenham

Met a friend there the other day to go to the cinema, at 8pm on a Thursday evening there was a group of very drunk people, knocking over drinks, stumbling about and singing...if it could be described as that, had one swift drink and as my friend was delayed rapidly moved to the Goose to meet there.

The Moon and Stars, Penge

I very occasionally go to The Moon and Stars because it is the worst pub in Penge, every time i do go there, i wonder why, and always think it must have improved and am proved wrong. Every time I am in there it is always dirty, the tables are nearly always uncleared, ashtrays unemptied, the bar is sticky, the staff are all permanently on "go slow", when they understand what you are asking for, and seem to spend a lot of time chatting to each other, in Polish I presume.

The last time was a couple of weeks ago on a sunday at about 11am when i popped in with a friend for a bite to eat, as we were passing, there were 3 staff behind the bar, and about a dozen customers, and yet I had to wait a good few minutes to get our second drink as one member of staff was on the phone, one was bottling up and even though i had been waiting at the end of the bar nearest the high street someone came to the other end after me and was served before me, even though all 3 staff members had seen me waiting, obviously it was easier to serve the closest person. We had ordered 2 scrambled eggs on toast, which took over half an hour to arrive (fair enough if lots of people were ordering food, but we appeared to be the only ones eating) and then the food was cold. We would have had better food and service in McDonalds....and that is saying something.
