The
Red Barn
|
There
is only one pub in Barnehurst - The Red Barn.
|
NEW
- QUIZ NIGHT!
|
Every
Sunday evening is a pub quiz at the Red Barn from
8.30pm.
Only £1 per person plus the chance to win
cash prizes. |
It
is situated by the railway station and
has a large screen showing Sky Sports, a pool table,
beer garden and a food menu. Karoake and disco nights
occur regularly each month.
Younger groups tend to drink in Bexleyheath leaving
the Barn a quieter 'locals' pub also used by commuters
returning from London.
Draught beers include Stella, Grolsch, Carling, London
Pride, IPA and Guinness.
The
pub was built back in 1936 and was home to local jazz
band the 'George Webb Dixielanders'. George Webb, a
worker at nearby Vickers, formed the band with his friends
in 1944 and performed regularly at the Red Barn on Monday
evenings. The pub is celebrated as the home of the revival
of traditional jazz in Britain and jazz legend George
Melly unveiled a plaque on 4th July 1985 to commemorate
this. The pub still has the plaque and photographs of
this event on display. For more history on Barnehurst

Heath and a short cab ride away you'll find many more
in Crayford and Bexleyheath.
