The pub closed for a substantial refurbishment at the end of February 2020, and was then unable to reopen due to the 2020 Covid-19 crisis. It finally reopened on July 4, 2020. It is now much brighter and airy, and the large area behind the bar is less "hidden away". Wood predominates, both in flooring and in the tables and chairs. The photos on this page are post-refurbishment, and give a good idea of its new incarnation.
This pub itself though, remains "hidden away" off the High Street in the old area of Orpington and adjacent to a small common. The pub is a bit awkward to find, but visitors in the area are recommended to seek it out. The beer range changes - choices are mainly mainstream. The food menu is available on the pub website.
