About Cricketer's Knoll
The pub closed for a substantial refurbishment at the end of February 2020, and was then unable to reopen due to the 2020 Covid-19 crisis. It finally reopened on July 4, 2020. It is now much brighter and airy, and the large area behind the bar is less "hidden away". Wood predominates, both in flooring and in the tables and chairs. The photos on this page are post-refurbishment, and give a good idea of its new incarnation.
This pub itself though, remains "hidden away" off the High Street in the old area of Orpington and adjacent to a small common. The pub is a bit awkward to find, but visitors in the area are recommended to seek it out. The beer range changes - choices are mainly mainstream. The food menu is available on the pub website.

Great pub with excellent well kept real ale. Started using this pub with another retired mate of mine about a month ago. What a fantastic find. We 'attempt' the Friday crossword over a couple of beers. Great staff and good pub atmosphere. Ten out of ten, highly recommend

This little gem was an amazing find Hosted a Baby Shower here on Saturday and cannot express how accommodating The staff were. Dan was very flexible and encouraged us to decorate, provide a playlist that he played through the function room sound system, he allowed us to go in early before the booking to decorate too. There is plenty room for a sit down occasion or a full disco/dj party. A back door leads out to the garden and a separate area too. The room has plenty of sockets and a bar, buffet food is an option too. Had an amazing time and everyone complimented on the venue and how quaint…
