Tigers Head

Head down Watt's Lane towards Chislehurst and you'll find yourself at Tigers Head, the kind of pub that actually feels like a proper local rather than a corporate franchise (even though it is Chef & Brewer). The place has that comfortable, lived-in quality—wooden beams, traditional fittings, the sort of spot where regulars know the bar staff and newcomers feel immediately welcome. You're getting competent pub food here, not revolutionary, but done properly: think elevated classics rather than gimmicks. The drinks list punches above its weight too, with decent real ales and a wine selection that suggests someone actually cares. It's the pub you'd take visiting mates to because it's genuinely good, not because you're running out of options.
