Anyone know any family pubs that have a nice beer garden that isn't a million miles away?

    Farningham  - pub on the river - large garden. Could combine with a trip to Eagle Heights.

    When the sun shines no better pub than The Blacksmiths in Cudham. Fabulous food and a great spot. Bar staff Charlton fans.l

    Agree with Lord Masicat - good pub, nice garden, good food (although food not all day if I remember correctly - 12-3pm then 7pm-9pm)..

    The pub in Farningham on the river is The Lion, you also have The Pied Bull which is slightly further along the road with a nice beer garden.

    Funny was talking about that pub yesterday. Love it. Cudham is one of my favourite places...tiny park/ sports ground but lots of good memories as a kid of there.

    Definitely recommend The Fighting Cocks. Garden is great for kids if the weather's fine and food is excellent...especially the locally made pie of the day !

    However, you'd be advised to book in advance.

    The Bull in Horton Kirby is nice too, as I recall? Certainly very good beer.

    Dartford Massive be wary of the other side of the WJ King roundabound - if you must come over to our side please remove your gold chains, burberry caps and reebox classics.  Behave in a civilised manner and please do not throw Big Mac wrappers out of your Range Rover Sport on the way back.  Many thanks ;-)

    You shouldn't tar all range rover sport drivers with the same brush, but then I don't live in dartford, have gold chains or reebok classics

    Recommend the Pied Bull for food. Bar menu is nice and restaurant menu even better. Not hideously expensive either. Also it's frequented by bikers, so only the suicidal start any trouble in there.

    Went to The Lion for lunch today and the kids played in the river for most of the afternoon. Absolutely gorgeous setting and some really nice grub.

    Not entirely sure about their queuing system though, but we got there early enough for it not to matter.

    So did I play there once. I can't remember if I was out second or third ball to make the score 0 for 1.

    Went to the Fighting Cocks today. Was obviously very popular as every table inside was booked up, but they only do limited food in the garden and they were making people drink out of plastic glasses, so overall was a little bit disappointed.

    Went on the The Lion in Farningham after, which is still really nice - although rammed.

    I used to love The Fighting Cocks as a kid, haven't been in years. I was always one of the little brats knocking over pints playing football, in fact I probably a couple of people on here drinks...
