I really like the alternating chalk board, the range is pretty comprehensive always one or two ales to suit my taste and the staff are always there to reccomend. The food is top end and (the quirky pickled onion rings are a delight )

We we're visiting friends in the area who brought us here for the first time. A wonderful little place, part florists, part micro brewery. Cute and cozy with outdoor seating We instantly fell in love with this hidden gem. Great selection of crafts beers and snacks.

We come to Chislehurst about every six weeks to visit family. We always visit our favourite micro pub - the Cockpit. Superb beers and excellent staff if you need help with which beer to order. We strongly recommend the smoked nuts to go with your favourite drink as well. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic micropub based in a florists(!) in a lovely location on Royal Parade. Great selection of ales both local and from further afield which are always in excellent condition. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cosy. Seating is close together and encourages conversation amongst customers. Far and away the best place for real ale in Chislehurst and rightly voted by Bromley CAMRA as their Pub of the Year.

What a great place. Great staff and an excellent selection of craft beer. Knowledgeable staff that can go in depth about each beer to help you decide what to have. Busy on a Friday evening but manageable getting served. The pricing of the beers is such a nice change. The ones on offer to us ranged from £5.90 a pint, all the way down to £3.90! Not having to get a second mortgage every time you get a round in, is a pleasant change. Definitely recommend this place for a night out, especially if craft beer is your thing. (a selection of wines and spirits are also available)

First time I have been to the cockpit. The interior is nice with the decor a cross between a florist and the country bar. This isn’t your typical micro pub with tall benches and bar stools. There are tables and chairs inside with a heated outdoor seating area on the pavement. We went about 7.30pm on a Saturday and the bar was busy with 99% of seats taken and a few people standing outside. As the evening wore on it got slightly less busy. The bar has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and efficient. The choice of beers is excellent and I had two session beers from the Kent brewery, A Juice Forsyth from a York brewery and a red ale to finish my evening off with. Every pint tasted very fresh as if the brewery was next door. The choice of beers should suit most real ale drinkers. I noticed that they also had some cans of craft ale. Also the session ale was under a fiver whilst the stronger beers were competitive to high street prices. Looking forward to my return to celebrate my mates birthday. Definitely the best real ale in the Bromley area. I can see why a friend has made it his local even though it’s a couple of miles from his house. Well worth the extra bit of effort if you have to travel. Check out bus routes as the Chislehurst parade is easily reached by a good few bus routes.

This micro pub is a testament to the enduring dignity and elegance of the human spirit. I was an atheist before I drunk here. Every man had become my foe. Now I see again. Look into the barman or bar woman’s eyes, and you will know, we are all feathers carried on the breath of God. The surroundings elevate the spirit and command fealty to good cheer and levity. The drinks, in this exhausting world, are priced according to the spirit of bonhomie. Delicious tinctures, artfully curated and kindly served. You may choose from an array of delectable foodstuffs, tastefully chosen to balance refinement and elegance to the palate with the substance necessary to help you handle a pint of Farmhouse without drunk dialling your GP. And all the whilst, a veritable cacophony of fragrance, the great incense of life itself, wafts around us, as we take our passage along Bacchus’s good path. Set foot dear soul, reward thy labours with many nectars.

Just a superb micropub. Very well-chosen selection of extremely well-kept ales, as well as cans of interesting beers and ciders. Lots of selection in wines, too- my wife tells me the prosecco is rather nice. Great atmosphere, lots of people enjoying themselves. Very knowledgeable staff, always friendly and happy to give tasters of the beers. No hot food, but a great line in bar snacks, including the superb smorgasbord, with cold meats, very good cheese and pickles. Also the biggest capers I have ever seen. Love this place!

I've been coming here nearly every week since it opened and have never been disappointed. There's a great selection of around six beers that are constantly changing, some even disappearing from the board before your eyes! Ciders, wine and spirits are also available along with nibbles and some excellent snacks. Don't forget some flowers on the way out. This is the only pub in the country that has a florists' in the corner, a fact that was commented on in the Letters page of The Times recently.

My husband and I are regulars here. He loves the ever changing real ale board and I’m happy with the good quality Prosecco. There are however plenty of options other than real ale (cider, wine etc) all at a reasonable price. The customer toilets are the best in Chislehurst! And the fact it’s shared with a florist makes it visually pretty too. The only downside I’ve found in the past 6 months is the high level of young children and babies. It’s not a huge venue, and they do make it a little uncomfortable taking up limited space and making such noise, which doesn’t travel well inside. You can see in the main the kids are not enjoying themselves being in a bar, so parents get a sitter or maybe the owners could consider making it child free inside or after a certain time? Snacks look good, just not tried as yet. Overall a fab addition and the best place for a glass in Chislehurst.

Don’t go every week, but we’ve been maybe 12/15 times since April. Great range of (regularly changed) beers, also a good number of proper ciders. My only “comment” would be, they never have a draught lager on, and thumbs on nose to the beer snobs, but a proper lager is still an excellent beer, especially in summer. Limited food, due to lack of space, but the cheese and charcuterie boards are both very good, and generous portions. Adam and the team are great hosts.
