About the Vibe
The Hare & Billet is Blackheath's go-to pub for a proper Sunday roast without the fuss. Tucked right on the edge of Blackheath Common, it's the perfect spot to pull up after a dog walk or jog across the heath. The food's solid—think seasonal pub classics and generous roasts—and the vibe's relaxed enough for families but still feels like a proper local.

Solid Sunday roasts and local charm by the heath
The Hare & Billet has earned its reputation as Blackheath's favourite pub, and it's easy to see why. Located right on the edge of Blackheath Common, this spot pulls in locals after their morning walks and families looking for a no-fuss Sunday roast. The food is consistently good—generous portions, well-cooked meats, and proper roast potatoes that don't disappoint. The prix fixe menu (£18 for two courses, £22 for three) is excellent value for the area, and Wing Wednesday (£5 for five wings) has become a proper local institution.
The space itself is cosy but can get loud, especially in the dining area at the back where sound bounces off the walls. It's not the place for a quiet conversation, but that's part of the charm—it's a proper pub where people come to eat, drink, and make noise. The dog-friendly policy and proximity to the heath make it ideal for post-walk refreshments, and the garden is a nice bonus in warmer weather. Service is friendly and efficient, though it can get busy on Sundays so booking ahead is wise.
