Attractive and traditional pub with open fireplaces, dating from 1565, and named following a visit to Downe by Queen Elizabeth 1. The pub is situated in the centre of the historic country village but is less than 20 minutes by bus from Bromley or Orpington. Charles Darwin lived at nearby Down House (English Heritage) and was likely a patron.

The four hand pumps normally include Harveys Sussex plus local beers often including Westerham or Bexley and others sourced nationally.

There are several dining areas benefiting from a daily menu which includes home-made pies and locally sourced fish specials. Hot refreshments and cakes are available from the integral tea shop. Last orders for food are 30 minutes before the food times shown.

The pub is popular with walkers and locals all year round. Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year 2014

Historic Interest

Part of old village of Downe, links with Charles Darwin
