The Chandos is a lively Honor Oak pub at 56 Brockley Rise, serving food and drinks in a spacious neighbourhood setting. An urban garden and roof terrace provide outdoor places to gather, while large screens, comedy, quizzes and music bring regular activity indoors. The kitchen is centred on Highpress Pizza, whose Roman style bases are flat, crisp and designed to pair naturally with a pint.
Pizza toppings move from simple combinations of buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil to aubergine with pesto, anchovy with olives and capers, or fennel sausage with spicy salami and spinach. Ham, mushrooms and truffle oil offer an earthy choice, while pepperoni with red onion and garlic delivers a familiar favourite. Vegetarian and vegan pizzas use courgette, ricotta, spinach, sun dried tomato, olives and smoked cheese to create substantial alternatives.
The rest of the menu suits informal sharing around the bar. Nachos can be topped with sausage, pepperoni or spicy salami, while chicken tenders, halloumi fries, macaroni and cheese arancini, corn fritters and garlic bread provide straightforward snacks. A range of garlic, chilli, pesto and hot honey dips lets diners add different flavours to pizza crusts, fries and smaller plates.
Local and continental beer on draught is joined by wine, classic cocktails and alcohol free choices. Espresso martinis, old fashioneds, spritzes and seasonal drinks make the bar useful beyond a meal, while the garden and roof terrace come into their own in warmer weather. Big screen sport, Friday music and occasional quiz nights give The Chandos a social identity that extends well beyond its pizza menu.
