About Chandos
Relaxed hangout offering sports on TV, craft beer & pizza as well as board games & quiz nights.
This is a large pub with a bar at the front, a large main room to the left and a smaller snug-type room to the right through glazed doors. The pub now does a range of craft beers and serves pizza. At the back of the main room a door leads outside to a small smoking/drinking area. Interesting features include the ornately decorated bar back and some green banded glazing in the windows (ex-Charrington perhaps). 3 handpumps with 2 ever-changing cask ales sold. Card payment only here, cash not accepted.

🚇 Honor Oak Park 🍺 £6.80 Budvar The Chandos is located in Forest Hill, Southeast London. The nearest station is Honor Oak Park, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This pub was built 1896 and is a former Charrington’s house. This pub has seen many changes over the years, but some of the original Charrington's features like the green-banded windows still remain. This is a large two bar pub which has an “L “ shaped bar on the left and a smaller cosier bar to the right. The decor here is traditional with some bold contemporary colours. The larger “L” shaped bar has plenty of seating, an…

Gorgeous outdoor terrace, lovely friendly staff, very dog-friendly and restaurant-standard pizzas. Feel really lucky to have this as our local!

It’s quieter these days than I remember, but the pizzas are still great and the beer still good. Staff are friendly and nice. Good for sport, but only big events will dominate the bar. Good for kids but they have to leave at 8 on weekdays and 7 at weekends. Recommended.

Great beers. The pizza is absolutely out of this world. Either here or Theo's in Camberwell are my favourites. Great staff; always super friendly and keen to be quick. Place is clean, customers are friendly. Really big fan of this pub.

A different dinning option in Honor oak park as its situated in a residential area., making it a suitable family friendly pub. Overall the staff was relatively engaging with customers. But it was unclear that the whole experience was self service , by ordering food and drinks at the bar (for a new customer). The pizza and beer options were decent but I feel the menu could do with a few more thing like fish and chips , burger. The toilet was spotless and well stocked, but the direction and location wasn't very apparent.
