Tamworth Tap, Tamworth
The first pub to win CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year competition three times, the Tudor building and historic courtyard beer terrace offers striking views of Tamworth’s Norman Castle. Home to Tamworth Brewing Company and its tap, it features eight handpulls, with cask beer from near and far, alongside a wide range of ciders, gins, wines and bottled beers.

Cockpit, Chislehurst
Opened in December 2020, at the height of the pandemic, this easy going and chatty pub is Chislehurst’s first micropub and offers a choice of cask beers from small breweries from all over the country, served from a cold room behind the small bar. The premises are shared with a florist but it’s still a spacious pub with plenty of seating inside, plus further high tables and bench seating by the small bar at the rear.
