Buff, Orpington

Improve This Listing
Real ale discount scheme

This is a spacious modern pub, popular with the local community along with live music on Friday nights. Other Greene King beers are sometimes available in place of the regulars.

Originally a prefab building, which was opened by Whitbread as a stopgap measure in 1950, and intended to serve the surrounding new post-war housing estates being constructed. This was replaced in 1960 by Whitbread with the current building, which has since been extended and modernised.

Named after the Buff Orpington breed of chicken that was first bred nearby by William Cook in 1894.
