Cozy bar in Welling

“Fantastic local pub with incredible food, and an authentic ambiance. Service was fast and attentive despite being quite busy, and the steak and ale pie may have been the best I had on the trip. Looking forward to my next visit!”

“Leo is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel like the most important person in the room. His charisma, professionalism, and genuine passion for mixology shine through in every cocktail he crafts. Leo has an incredible memory for faces and drink preferences—he’ll remember your favorite from weeks ago and somehow make it taste even better the next time. His recommendations are always spot-on, and he can whip up something unique and delicious even if you don’t know what you want. Beyond his skill, Leo creates an atmosphere of warmth and connection that turns an ordinary night out into something special. Whether you’re celebrating or unwinding, Leo’s service, charm, and talent make every visit unforgettable. Simply put, he’s the heart of the bar—an absolute legend behind the counter.”

“Very happy to see this place reopening its doors. Went with wife and kid for a few quick ones over the weekend and really liked the new decor and atmosphere. Staff was welcoming and very polite, and selection of drinks was wide too. Looking forward to getting back soon, and support this great local pub.”

“What a transformation! Not been inside for many years although it should be our 'local'. Went in to have a drink and look round, stayed for lunch and another drink. Staff friendly and welcoming. Range of drinks is good and food excellent. Will certainly be going back”

“Had a space reserved for a special birthday. The service was excellent and the staff were just as attentive. Because of the very very hot day we made the most of the garden and all had an amazing time. Thank you all for making the day special. Would recommend for all occasions!!”

“This was my third visit to The Kings Head in Sevenoaks within just a couple of months, and there’s a very good reason I keep coming back. I travel all the way from Farnham, which is a 50-mile trip, but it’s absolutely worth it every time. I’d probably go further if they asked nicely. The pub has everything you’d hope for from a proper village pub. The building is beautifully traditional, full of character, and in the summer the garden is a genuinely lovely place to sit and unwind. The staff are consistently excellent, friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in making people feel right at home. There’s also a solid selection of real ales and lagers, which never disappoints. My first visit was at the tail end of summer, when I sat in the garden for lunch and was instantly taken with the place. A couple of weeks later I returned for an evening meal and was so impressed that I decided to relocate our annual family remembrance gathering here. We came as a group of 11 for lunch on Saturday 15th November, and even though the pub was very busy, the service was faultless. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humour, which is essential when dealing with our lively family. The team here didn’t flinch. Even though the pub was busy, service stayed top-notch and dishes arrived far quicker than I expected. Miracles do happen. All the dishes we ordered arrived promptly, and every one of us commented on the generous portion sizes (a rarity these days!) and the superb quality. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. I had the cod stew with chorizo and crispy kale, which was an absolute standout — beautifully balanced and bursting with flavour, like a little firework display in a bowl. I followed it with an apple crumble and custard, which met the approval of even our most serious crumble connoisseurs. And, to top it all off, the bill was a very pleasant surprise. It’s refreshing to enjoy food and service of this standard without feeling like you’ve been mugged on the way out. The Kings Head is a place I genuinely love. Traditional, welcoming, great food, great staff, and great value. I’ll happily keep making the 50-mile journey, it’s become a firm favourite of mine.”

“Lovely little village pub on outskirts of Epping Forest. Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, Good food, we had two ploughman’s with cheddar, blue cheese and ham which were nice and fresh, two pints of Moretti all for £37 which we thought very reasonable. Good parking, plenty outside seating.”

“Krishna took great care of us, explained the menu, when needed. Delicious food in a great atmosphere, quite pub like with the football on (Arsenal v Bournemouth!) but sound down, so definitely not intrusive. Would recommend.”

“Absolutely great experience again today! Never disappoints. Nicky the manager runs a tight ship, Chelsea our steak expert was great as usual, food was brilliant! Special mention to our usual waitress - the blonde mature lady! She is a my fave! Food was brilliant as always! Loving the new menu too!”

“Maltby Market is amazing. Lovely place for a Saturday afternoon! But I was not expecting to find such a great steak! You should definitely try Beefsteaks... the chips were delicious too! Furthermore the staff is extremely welcoming and nice, Antonio was absolutely stunning!”

“The Nepalese food is outstanding! Prepared fresh to order and bursting with amazing flavours. I don't tend to leave reviews unless I am very, very impressed. This place definitely deserves one. Every dish had unique flavours/spices and we ate up every bit.”

“Absolutely the best in the area! I often drive from Hersham because there’s nowhere else nearby with such amazing coffee, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“The lovely pub hosted our daughter's 40th Birthday party in the side room off the main bar. We were able to decorate the room and also to have a local guitarist entertain us together with a fab face painter. Our party was able to order yummy food and drinks from the bar. I can't thank Nick and his super staff more. Highly recommend this great pub..”

“Service was great. Portion sizes of the food are generous.”

“Excellent service and they did our breakfasts exactly how we wantent them. The prices are responsible and the place does get busy at times but they are able to manage.”

“We visited 2 times for 3 days - really liked the local beer, the food and the atmosphere. The bartender who was also a waiter was very nice so we totally recommend the place!”

“Great pub. Very dog friendly they even have a dog menu. Been with family for Sunday lunch the team was very efficient and food was lovely. Will visit again”

“Quality service, everything was clean, the temperature of the food was great. The staff was lovely and very attentive. Aaliyah, Kat and Nicola were a delight.”

“Gemma serves the best Guinness in this pub Absolutely a must for you Guinness lovers”

“Visited this pub for lunch yesterday with a 4 day old baby - the two ladies serving were very welcoming and friendly. Table service was great from the moment we sat down and after scouring the menu, we both ordered the New Inn Burger - 5* burger in my opinion, the quality of meat and the cook was excellent. Hats off to the chef! Will definitely be returning.”

“Had a lovely Sunday roast with my family, the food was delicious & the service warm & friendly. We will be in touch to book for our Christmas party.”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“I popped into The White Hart in Crystal Palace and was blown away by their Sunday roast. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Anastasiia looked after us and made the experience even better — so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London!”

“Incredible venue with great food and drink! I had the pleasure of being shown around the new renovation upstairs for events. Absolutely top class finish, I can’t recommend this anymore. Well worth the visit!”

“We had our Civil ceremony reception here and what a great team with Matt and the other amazing staff. The food was spectacular and my family loved to spend our special day with you at The Grange. You made our special day even more special!”

“Food was great if a bit pricey. We went for the burrata and the spice bag. The service was fantastic. Will definitely be back.”

“It's not often you walk into a pub you are not familiar with and feel welcome, there's a real family vibe, very friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed a garden BBQ, hosted by the manager who didn't set any prices just asked for donations to support the pub. I felt this was a great indicator of things to come for this place and I'm looking forward to returning when I'm in the area again.”

“Food was good and the staff friendly (Elise-sorry if I’ve misremembered your name). The place was clean and comfortable with easy parking. There was a small delay with the food being served at that particular time due to a wake being held in another private room but we were kept informed and apologies were offered. Would recommend The Chelsfield Arms.”

“Sunday night karaoke is excellent (providing you're drunk and/or do not take lodge seriously). And I really don't like karaoke. What more can you ask for?”

“Absolutely beautiful pub! From the stunning wooden beamed exterior, to the quaint delightful interior, the Blackhorse, is exactly how a pub ought be. The menu options are fantastic, with options for kids and adults alike. So something for everyone - even fussy kids! I love visiting the Blackhorse, with my partner and teenage kids, and we always have a wonderful time, and have created some amazing memories there over the years. I look forward to creating many more memorable moments at the Blackhorse.”
