Pub in the Blackfen area of Sidcup, run by the King's Feast Pub Co.

It's large inside, made to look larger by a wall of mirrors along one side. Colours are browns and creams, and the space is broken up by pillars and wooden screens. Several flatscreens are dotted around.

There's a large quantity of outside seating at the front, though this is quite utilitarian, with no plants in evidence, and it's right on the corner of a busy junction. It's not under cover, which perhaps explains the presence of an additional "smoking patio" out the back — actually just a standing area under a large rectangular umbrella.

Kake visited on a Saturday lunchtime in September 2013. There were two real ales on: Brains British Summer (£1.60/half) and Adnams Ghost Ship. They also had Addlestones Cloudy on a keg font. The British Summer was a little cloudy, and there was some debris in the bottom of the glass.

Music was playing, fairly bland and not too loud. Half of the flatscreens (and a large pull-down projection screen in the darker area of the pub) were showing some kind of news report (possibly sport-related) while the other half were alternating between adverts for the pub chain and videos to go with the music.

According to their website as of September 2013, food is served noon to 9pm every day. The menu is chain-wide and fairly unexciting photo. Kake's vegetarian falafel and spinach burger with cheese (£5.65) photo was fine, with a nice texture from the roughly crushed chickpeas in the burger. The lettuce, tomato, and onions sandwiched in with the burger were good and fresh. The accompanying twisty fries (75p extra to have these instead of chips) were fine too.

According to their website as of September 2013, there's a quiz every Thursday from 8:30pm.

Accessibility: One largeish step to get in. Once you're in, it's step-free to the bar and seating, but there's a step inside the ladies' between cubicles and sinks.

Child-friendliness: There's a separate children's menu photo. They have at least four highchairs, the type without trays. A sign noted in September 2013 stated that children are welcome until 8pm, and the pub's website as of the same month confirms this, noting that it's "a child friendly pub until 8pm".
