Barrel & Horn, Bromley

Bar

A modern well presented Fuller's owned house, though not in the usual Fuller's style. This family friendly bar is located near the Market Square in Bromley town centre. The emphasis is on craft keg beers, wines, spirits and cocktails with an eclectic dining menu. The popular home-cooked food is a fusion of different styles with a distinct American and Mexican influence. Live music and other social events are popular with the younger clientele.

The interior contemporary décor is in tasteful shades of blue and complements the white ceiling and mixed wooden and tiled flooring. The single long bar serves a spacious open plan area with various more intimate corners to give a cosy atmosphere. Large picture windows give plenty of light and space, whilst the walls showcase an eccentric and quirky range of artwork and furnishings. There are differing styles of seating, with high and low tables and benches whilst the rear is more geared up for dining with several tables and beige banquettes leading down to the open kitchen. A separate games room leads off with a raised area for the pool table and other games.

Keg beer only but an extensive range is on offer from up to 17 taps, which can vary (eg. Goodness, Meantime, Signature, Siren and Verdant to name a few) with occasional tap takeovers, such as from DEYA, Siren, Vault City, Tiny Rebel and more. Note the extensive range of beer pump clips hanging above the bar. Despite the presence of two handpumps, cask ale is no longer available.

The garden area to the rear consists of raised decking with table sets and serving mainly as the smoking area. There are a few potted plants plus a mural of painted leaves on the brick wall.

The pub name is unique within Great Britain.

(Previously called the "Tom Foolery", this was still owned by Fuller's and changed it name and style in late 2011. Prior to that it was, in turn, the "Stanza" and "Bar Coast", having been converted into a bar from a former building society)
