A new Bromley pub faces a backlash from angry neighbours who fear revellers in the garden bar will wake them up at night.

The Crown’s new owners are attempting to win over residents who have warned about bad experiences with previous tenants.

The so-called “high-quality” pub won approval from Bromley’s licensing committee to install an outdoor bar ahead of its opening later this year.

But some residents worry that noisy people in the beer garden, which is on the same street as their homes in Plaistow Grove, will ruin their sleep.

The Crown will take over the building from Indian restuarant Cinnamon Culture, which in turn replaced a pub that had attracted complaints from local people.

Operators for the new pub say they will avoid going back to the “bad old days” and instead offer a high-quality service.

One resident told the licensing committee residents don’t want to open their windows in the summer due to the noise, and previously people had thrown empty pint glasses into her garden.

She said: “People just get louder and louder as time goes on. Door-slamming, people shouting ‘bye!’ – things like that. And when you’re talking roughly quarter to 12 at night, that noise really carries.

“I just want to bring [closing time] to as early as possible so I can get a bit more sleep rather than being woken up at midnight.”

Other feedback to the council included another resident who said: “This is a family and residential road and already the face of this road is changing for the worse. This will exacerbate this. Often drunk, loud and abusive shouting happens down the road. This will, I fear, encourage more.”

The pub will be owned by company Punch, which already run 1,300 venues in the UK, but will be managed by company Fast and Loose.

Representing the applicants, legal representative Ewen Macgregor told the committee the new owners were keen to avoid the mistakes of the past.

He said: “My clients are conscious of these premises when they operated as a pub.

“As a consequence of that, when Cinnamon Culture left, Punch were keen to ensure [they] brought onboard somebody who was not going to take it back to the bad old days, but bring it back as a pub but also ensure the high quality of the service.

“I appreciate these premises have been tainted by what happened in the past.” He added the new owners “wanted to become a part of the local community and they will address and deal with any concerns.”
