About Chancery
Handsome, cosy gastropub for hearty British fare alongside an airy outdoor beer garden.
Family-run Victorian local situated between Beckenham and Shortlands with a main U-shaped bar and a separate quiet lounge. The pub reopened as a Gastropub in October 2014 following substantial and sensitive refurbishment and with a new name. The extensive menu changes with the season and no frozen food is used. Casual drinkers are still welcomed - the pub has six handpumps, but away from busy times only three to four will be operational. Admission not allowed after 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
There are a wide range of events including singing groups, the "Mother Cuppa" coffee mornings on Wednesdays between 10 am and noon, quiz evenings and live music with both individual singers and bands.

Came later on a Sunday so was expecting a lot of the roast menu to be gone; but chicken was dry, Yorkshire dry, 1 roast potato and a third of the plate full of parsnips that were placed under the rest of the food, so did not realise until started eating - hopefully next time will be better if we go earlier

After reading a few recent negative reviews we thought we would give it a try anyway. We went there with a party of 4 for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed. The staff greeted us with a big smile and took us to the table. Starters were huge and tasty, especially the calamari - not oily at all. We had roast beef, chicken, lamb and fish& chips - not a thing that we didn't like. They were all yummy and well cooked. We were happy 😊

Really hearty tasty roast. Good portions, tasty meat and the veg was really well cooked. The creamed leaks were delicious. Had sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was superb, amazing flavour, good size and the custard was to die for. Reasonable prices, about £28 per person for three course and a drink. Staff were really helpful and efficient.

My one and only visit here was unfortunately at a Wake, so not your standard gastro pub review. The staff were excellent, polite & judged the mood perfectly, can you be cheery & reverent at the same time? Well I think they did it. The food was great, (a buffet) the sausage rolls for me stood out, they seemed home made and top class. The pub was nice, outside tables in its own courtyard garden, good beer selection. Only drawback is the location. On the main road and very limited parking, with many of the local roads having parking restrictions. As I say not a regular review, be nice to return…
