Welcome to Bromley CAMRA

Every year most CAMRA branches select a pub to be their branch Pub of the Year. Those branches with any eligible clubs can also select a club to be their branch Club of the Year. Winners of the branch awards then progress to be judged in the relevant regional competitions and potentially ultimately for the national awards.  For details of the winners in previous years and a description of the selection process, please click here.

The judging process for these awards was carried out by Bromley CAMRA in the early part of 2025.   The winners are as follows:-

	Bromley CAMRA Club of the Year 2025 Orpington Liberal Club 7 Station Road, Orpington, BR6 0RZ	Club of the Year presentation 2025

It serves a regularly-changing selection of beers, mostly from small breweries, the large quantity of pump clips adorning the walls shows the large quantity of beers served over the past few years. Usually 3 or 4 beers are available, often including a stout or porter, together with a selection of real ciders. The club holds regular beer festivals, normally twice a year. The function room is regularly used by several local groups and there is regular live music. CAMRA members are welcome as visitors to the club on production of a current CAMRA membership card.

	Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year 2025 The Cockpit 4 Royal Parade Chislehurst BR7 6NR	Pub of the Year presentation 2025
	The Cockpit also won this award in 2023 and 2024. It is Chislehurst's first micropub, and opened its doors for the first time in late December 2020, unfortunately with the Covid crisis in full swing. It was able to begin operating more normally the following summer as lockdown eased. A choice of real ales from small breweries from all over the country is available, together with the house beer which is named PIT - and is a pale ale brewed by BritHop. Bar snacks are available. The premises - which are deceptively spacious given the limited frontage - are shared with a florist but even so there is more seating than normal in a micropub, with further benches outside at the front of the pub. The pub is named after the ancient Cockpit which is situated a few minutes walk away on Chislehurst Common. See The Cockpit on WhatPub See The Cockpit on Facebook Pub website
	Bromley CAMRA Pub of the Year 2025 - Runner-Up One Inn The Wood 209 Petts Wood Road, Orpington, BR5 1LA
	This micropub - the first in the borough of Bromley - was formerly a wine bar. It opened in 2014 as a welcome addition to the Petts Wood area and is still extremely popular with a friendly and lively local following. After changing management in October 2023, this reopened in January 2024 after a short break for refurbishment. Now light and bright with wooden flooring and high wooden tables around the cream coloured walls with benches and stools to sit on. Hops hang from the ceiling whilst there is a selection of pump clips above the door. One corner is devoted to photos of local dogs, aptly named "One Inn The Woof". A wide wooden bar counter serves the beers and ciders, which come from a temperature controlled cool room behind. The pub serves mainly Kentish beer but also from further afield, whilst the range offered frequently changes. Kent cider, wines, spirits and fruit juices are also available as are cans from the fridge. The real ale menu, along with other choices, are listed on blackboards at the rear of the bar. Charcuterie and cheese boards are also available along with other bar snacks. There is a charity fine box for mobile phone use inside the pub.
