Historical version 14 of Dacre Arms, SE13 5BU (view current version)

Locals' pub in Blackheath/Lee.

It's quite small and cosy inside. There's a patterned carpet on the floor, decorative ceramic plates mounted on the walls, and various other bits of tat around. The top of the bar is decorated with hops. Barstools and a bit of standing room surround the bar, and there are wooden panelled dividers jutting out from the wall opposite to make a number of booths lined with banquettes and mini armchairs, all upholstered in the same diamond-pattern fabric. Small round polished-wood tables are dotted about.

There's a beer garden out the back, where smoking is permitted. They don't serve food at all, but (at least as of November 2008) they do stock Twiglets and Cheese Moments(70p). They had sold out of Pork Scratchings on our visit.

Kake, Ewan, bob, secretlondon, and several others visited on a Sunday evening in November 2008. There were about 20 or so people in when Kake arrived at 5pm; all the tables had someone at, but there were seats left. Music was playing very quietly and mostly drowned out by conversation.

Real ales available were Harveys Sussex Best (£2.90/pint), Greene King IPA, and Courage Best(£2.60/pint), though the Harveys ran out during our visit. The other pumps had turned-around clips for Deuchars IPA and Tim Taylor Landlord.

They also had mini bottles of wine. Most disturbingly the mini bottles of Mateus Rose.
