Nestled in the heart of Kidbrooke Village, The Depot is your modern local – a vibrant community pub where great food, great drinks and even better company come together. Whether you're popping in for brunch, catching up over cocktails, enjoying a family meal or celebrating with friends, there's always a warm welcome waiting.

Our menus are inspired by the foods we all secretly crave – the flavours of your favourite Friday night takeaway, reimagined with quality British ingredients and a premium pub twist. Think indulgent craft DOUGHP pizzas, stacked burgers, loaded fries, street food-inspired specials and legendary Sunday roasts. It's comfort food designed to be shared, enjoyed and remembered.

Families are at the heart of everything we do, and we're proud to be a place where everyone feels at home. Little ones are always welcome, and four-legged family members are too. After exploring Kidbrooke or nearby parks, your dog can expect fresh water, complimentary treats and plenty of fuss from our team.

Behind the bar you'll discover perfectly kept cask ales, rotating craft beers, carefully selected wines, premium spirits and expertly crafted cocktails, making every visit worth raising a glass to.

More than just a pub, The Depot is where the Kidbrooke community comes together. From quiz nights and live sport to celebrations, weekend get-togethers and everyday moments, we're proud to be at the centre of our neighbourhood.
