Branch Pub of the Year – The Cockpit

Welcome! This is the website for the Bromley branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The main function of our branch is to provide resources for local members. However, this website is open to the public to see what we do; please feel free to browse our pages and follow our beer-related links. Hopefully, this will encourage new CAMRA membership and if you live in the Bromley area (postcodes BR1-BR7, SE9, SE19/20, TN14/16), your local CAMRA branch will be Bromley.

  • Staging the Bromley CAMRA Beer and Cider festival (sadly, in abeyance, awaiting a festival co-ordinator volunteer)
  • Choosing Bromley entries for the Good Beer Guide each year (see below)
  • Selecting the Bromley Pub of the Year and Bromley Club of the Year (pictures above for 2025)
  • Campaigning for local pubs that may be under threat of closure and redevelopment
  • Putting together a network of “Pub Walks” that take advantage of local footpaths and include stops for refreshment

LocAle Scheme

Locale Scheme

CAMRA LocAle - promoting pubs that sell locally-brewed real ale, reducing the number of 'beer miles', and supporting local breweries.

The scheme encourages pubs to reliably stock and sell at least one real ale that is produced locally - in our case, within 30 miles by shortest road distance from the pub.
