picture of Hare and Billet
Residing on a street bearing its name, the Hare & Billet has a great position just outside the centre of Blackheath, with perfect views of the heath itself. The location ensures it primarily caters for the locals, with most visitors to the area spilling into the pubs around the station, and it is probably all the better for this. The interior is fairly plain, but it's a clean and comfortable enough place to meet up. A recent change of management has brought a few small changes, the most significant of which are the removal of the dart board and the installation of TV. There are still three decent beers on the hand pumps, but some of the other choices have gone, leaving a pretty banal range of drink for those not wishing to partake of the ale. In our opinion, the Hare and Billet has lost some of the character it once had and is on the slippery slope to anonymity, unless there's a change of direction. Nevertheless, it's still the best prospect for a pint in Blackheath.
