[[Category Fuller's|Fuller's]] pub in [[Locale Bromley|Bromley]]. It was renamed from the Tom Foolery in 2011, but it's not clear if anything has changed, and it is still run by Fuller's. The information below pre-dates the change in name.

It was previously known as the Tom Foolery and had more of a sports bar feel (see <a href="https://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Barrel_And_Horn%2C_BR1_1PW&version=12">older version of this page</a>), but was refurbished and renamed to the Barrel &amp; Horn in 2011.
This pub is just a few doors down from another Fuller's pub, [[Partridge, BR1 1HE|The Partridge]], but it is going for more of a sports bar feel. Inside, the space stretches back quite some distance, with large tables separated in several different areas, including a separate space up a few steps towards the back. TV screens showing sports are prominent in all parts of the pub.

Today, it has quite an open feel, despite the low ceiling. Indeed, the low ceiling may have been the inspiration for taking a somewhat industrial approach to the interior decor. Mottled grey floor tiles mimic exposed concrete, chairs are sprayed to resemble steel, a strange sculpture made from pipes and light bulbs hangs on the wall <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/45647457931/ photo]</small>, and beer kegs are stacked up to support a plank "mantelpiece" over a radiator.
A small smoking area ('secret beer garden') is accessible via a door which looks like a bookcase, to the rear of the pub.

There are several different areas of seating, including a sofa area, some high seating, a long banquette, and plank-topped tables. A small side space towards the back has been turned into a games room, with table football and pinball. There's also a small courtyard-style beer garden <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/45647457481/ photo]</small>.
There are six handpulls for ale on the bar, dispensing London Pride, Discovery and ESB. There is also a standard keg selection which includes Honey Dew lager.

[[Kake]] and [[Ewan]] visited on a Monday afternoon in October 2018. There were a few other customers in when we arrived around 3pm. Music was playing, relatively interesting, not too loud.
Over 21s only.

They only have two handpumps, which were clipped for Dark Star Revelation and a cider, but they do have several keg taps for craft beers, including Beavertown Earl Phantom (&pound;3/half). The staff member behind the bar was very helpful when we were choosing, offering several tasters without having to be asked.

According to the Barrel &amp; Horn website as of October 2018, food is served noon-3pm and 5pm-10pm Mon-Fri, 11am-10pm Sat, and noon-9:30pm Sun.

Truffled mac and cheese croquettes (&pound;5.50) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/45647458451/ photo]</small> had a nicely loose interior, with fairly soft-cooked macaroni and a decent flavour. The breadcrumb coating wasn't too thick or greasy. However, one of them had a large piece of cling film left inside. They apologised profusely for this, refunded us, and offered us free drinks on top of that.

Child-friendliness: There were a couple of children in during our visit, making good use of the games room.

Accessibility: No steps to get in, just a small ridge at the threshold. There's a RADAR-locked accessible toilet on the level. Three steps with handrail to the other toilets. Four steps to the beer garden.
