A cosy warm and inviting hillside pub with two bars - The Library and the Catherine. The latter is allegedly named after a mistress of Napoleon III who stayed here when he was exiled to Chislehurst in 1870. Although the pub are rightly proud of their food - with lobster and steaks being specialities - the pub emphasised their commitment to real ale with the addition of a fourth handpump in 2016 on which guest beers are sometimes provided.
A well-appointed function room and wine bar were opened in the grounds in May 2014, with dining available Thursday to Saturday evening from 7 - 11pm and on Sundays from noon to 6pm.
Historic Interest
Dating from 1787, this was originally called the Windmill after the former windmill on Chislehurst Common. Renamed in 1870 when exiled French Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie came to live at nearby Camden Place (where Queen Victoria was a regular visitor). Napoleon III died in 1873 and his son Louis-Napoleon, the Prince Imperial, was killed in 1879 (the nearby monument is dedicated to his memory).
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 3 regular beers.
