| Bickley Arms | Chislehurst Road Chislehurst BR7 5NP | Following the Covid closure, the pub reopened under its old name – The Bickley Arms.

A restaurant area – smaller than before – has been retained, but casual drinkers are welcomed. New survey pending. |

| Cockpit | 4 Royal Parade Chislehurst BR7 6NR | The Cockpit is Chislehurst’s first micropub, and opened its doors for the first time in late December 2020, unfortunately with the Covid crisis in full swing.

Further updates will follow in due course |
| Imperial Arms | Old Hill Chislehurst BR7 5LZ | A cosy warm and inviting hillside pub with two bars – The Library and the Catherine. The latter is allegedly named after a mistress of Napoleon III who stayed here when he was exiled to Chislehurst in 1870. Although the pub are rightly proud of their food – with lobster and steaks being specialities – the pub emphasised their commitment to real ale with the addition of a fourth handpump in 2016 on which guest beers are sometimes provided. A well-appointed function room and wine bar were opened in the grounds in May 2014, with dining available Thursday to Saturday evening from 7 – 11pm and on Sundays from noon to 6pm. |
| Queens Head | 2 High Street Chislehurst BR7 5AN | This Ember Inn pub is situated next door to Chislehurst ponds. It is a large and imposing building but inside it is quite modern and painted in light colours. There are many different seating areas within the pub and food is a big part of its trade. The car park at the rear of the pub is pay and display, but the charge is refundable on the purchase of first drink. Curry night is Wednesday. Beer prices are reduced by £1 on Mondays and Thursdays |
| Ramblers Rest | Mill Place Chislehurst BR7 5ND | A lovely weatherboard building in a scenic location on the edge of Chislehurst common. There are two separate bars of which the lower is the more spacious but the upper is more popular with regulars. The pub is very popular in summer with people sitting on the grass slope outside The pub was sympathetically refurbished in 2017 – the interior is brighter as a result. |
| Sydney Arms | Old Perry Street Chislehurst BR7 6PL | This pub is rather hidden away on what was formerly the main road from Chislehurst to Sidcup, but is now a quiet residential street It is very close to an entrance to Scadbury Park, and so is popular with walkers Once known as the The White Swan, it was renamed in the 1880’s in honour of John Robert Townshend, 3rd Viscount Sydney. The subsequent alterations and extensions include a conservatory built in the 1980’s. Although the pub has a focus on food, casual drinkers are also welcome. The pub is carpeted throughout with historical photos adorning the walls and has a good website |
