The Pawleyne Arms, Penge

I never dared to go in the Pawleyne before - it looked dreadful - so im sad i didn't go having read the 5th Jan review

BUT we popped in for a few and it was clean and staff were pleasant and friendly - so i was very happy - esp after i tried the Alex which is SOOOOOOO not clean

The Kent House Tavern, Penge

The KH Tavern has been working hard to serve its locals esp over the last few months - its really cosy with the open fires, a board game and a good glass of Merlot in your hand. An entertainment programme has been initiated and we have some new menu items (+ new chef) which are great hearty suppers - so come on 'patron' don't be too harsh - its not easy in the recession i imagine to do a lot without heavy financial backing . it takes a community to get things going and we should be behind the KHT & other local businesses around us - or else we won't have such a good place on our doorstep and we will have to trudge to Beckenham or Sydenham for a pint & a hearty affordable supper (as i'm not a fan of the rest of the 'pubs' in Penge). I agree- it could be kept tidier in terms of the rubbish outside and the beer garden - its something that needs to be done everyday - Landlord Pete - please can you take heed??. I still rate the pub as a 7 for now

The Kent House Tavern, Penge

thank goodness someone has taken over this pub - we had stopped going before and its our nearest ale house.

Now we have a local friends can come to and we can eat a decent meal at too. its great to see this happening as some of the other pubs in walking distance are not worth the walk let alone the risk of an unpleasant night.

The Kent House Burger is a real must try and goes great with a pint or two - its been smartened up and cleaned up and although it isn't a full on glamorous makeover its comfy, cosy and clean and friendly - they serve several beers etc and has been known to do themes such as Sangria with Paella. we love the fact that we now have a community pub we can go to and have some fun - mostly brought about by the quiz night on a Thursday - why don't some of you come down and join us
