The George and Dragon, Downe

I go here quite a lot. The Timothy Taylor's Landlord bitter is a real treat, and worth a try. However, the great thing about the pub (and all my family love it also - last ate here 20th November) are the homemade pies - real pastry all around and stuffed with meat etc - fantastic. Does get quiet at times as the previous correspondent says - tends to get busier 5 - 7pm and after 8:30pm !!!

The Maxwell Hotel, Orpington

Like the last correspondent, I foolishly gave the Maxwell a go on 5 December 2014 - mainly to see the band playing. The band were great, but the pub is sadly very poor. If it were not bad enough that local drunks fell on me, the landlord appears not to know anything about wine. I asked for a dry rose wine, and was given a SWEET wine !! Bad enough, but when I complained, the landlord stated "that was what you ordered" and walked away. Maybe a spot of customer service training is in order, but I doubt it will happen. I think I'll stay away - for ever !!!!

The Queens Head, Downe

Lovely country pub - won Bromley CAMRA pub of the year for 2014. Always has a Westerham ale or two on tap (the Summer Perle is to die for !!). Food is very good - ate there twice recently, and everything was piping hot and tasty
