Eltham’s first micro pub has opened its doors after months of work to transform it from a plumber’s merchant, and here are the results.
The Long Pond – named after the popular landmark in Eltham – was the dream of dad-of-two Michael Wren (pictured) who gave up a career in the city.
The 49-year-old, who was born and raised in Eltham, was inspired after visiting a micro pub when staying with his parents, who had recently moved near to Whitstable.
Michael said he wants The Long Pond, in Westmount Road, to be a sociable, friendly place where people go to ‘talk with friends and have a laugh’.
There is no music, TV or games machine, just a wide range of Kent-brewed ales plus ciders and wines.
