August 4
Our second post-lockdown social takes us to the Real Ale Way in Hayes for a lunchtime social.
This family-owned micropub opened in July 2018, and offers a most welcome new choice for local drinkers and rail commuters alike. The pub overlooks the entrance to Hayes railway station,and is served by numerous bus routes. Up to 9 real ales are served on gravity from a cold room to the rear of the bar. The pub was a joint runner-up on the last occasion that we were able have a “Pub of the Year”competition.

A chance to visit three micropub/bars, none of which were in existence ten years ago. The evening begins at 7pm at One Inn The Wood. This pub is close to Petts Wood railway station, and can also be reached by the 208 bus from Central Bromley or Orpington. The 273, R2, R3 and R7 routes also pass close by. In all cases, alight at Petts Wood Station. One in the Wood was Bromley’s first micropub having opened in 2014 on a site previously occupied by a wine bar. It has won an array of CAMRA awards, including Greater London CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2015. It is now under new management. From there we continue by bus 208 to the Hit or Miss. This new venue opened its doors for the first time on in October 2022, in premises which were previously occupied by a computer repair and sales [.....]

What better way to get the excesses of Xmas out of the system than by joining our traditional brisk walk between some of the best pubs in Bromley North! Our event starts at the Crown and Anchor at 1.30pm. The pub is located a short walk away from Bromley North Station/bus terminal and the Market Square, and usually has beers from Bexley brewery available. We then intend to the pubs shown below, although we have noted instances in the past where pubs have changed their opening hours at short notice around Christmas. But with so many pubs in the vicinity, no-one needs to go thirsty. 2.20pm. Anglesey Arms 3.10pm. Red Lion

Many readers of the diary will be aware of the large number of micropubs which have opened in the Bexley CAMRA area over the last few years. We have noticed that many of them are situated close to bus routes, so we have used that fact to plan this social. The first pub is within a few yards of Bexleyheath station which unfortunately is not served by any direct trains from the Bromley branch area – a change at Lewisham or Nunhead is needed. Bus travel from Bromley will vary depending on your starting point, so the best bet is to use the TfL journey planner. Routes 422, B11 and B12 do pass very close to the pub – alight at Bexleyheath station. Returning to Bromley after this social involves a single bus journey using route 269. The schedule is as follows:- Noon Kentish Belle, 8 Pickford [.....]

Once again we are able to take advantage of the Star & Garter function room. The pub – reopened in November 2016 after having been closed for more than two years – is close to the Market Square in the centre of Bromley, which is a few minutes walk from either Bromley North or Bromley South stations. Several bus routes also pass close to the pub. It has been branch Pub of the Year on multiple occasions. Bromley CAMRA members who are not on the committee are always welcome to attend committee meetings. Non-committee members planning to attend a meeting may request the Secretary (secretary@bromley.camra.org.uk) to prepare and print a pack of relevant committee papers to be made available at the meeting.
