The Crown, Blackheath

Go to the Hare and Billet. It has a decent toilet, and nice food, thanks to new management.

The Hare and Billet, Blackheath

The 'Hare and Billet' is a lovely pub. It has been under new management for a while now, and the food in particular has improved. The steak and speckled hen pie is my favourite, which comes with a selection of fresh veg. Also, the sunday roast is a favourite. The cook's cheese burger is great too, and also the Tapas. There are about 12 different dishes in the Tapas range. My favourite is the skins and chilli dip.

This pub is very popular, so you may have to book a table. Lots of local families eat here, especially on the weekend. The pub is keen to attract families, and this is why the dart board has long since disappeared. There is a quiz night, and there are live acts. I'm looking forward to this month's band, playing for the first time. I know the drummer is a regular in the pub.

The Hare and Billet does have a lot of history, and the 'White Lady' is a story you can google easily enough. Jean-Michelle, the assistant manager, may be able to tell you more. He makes a great soup when he's not too busy. Enjoy - Blackheath at its best.
