"The 'ROOST' Coffee shop, the Pavilion, Empress Drive, CHISLEHURST, Kent; conveniently situated in the centre ' Pavilion' in Chislehurst Recreation Ground and park. Thanks Debbie, (the owner I presume...?) , for a refreshing tea and delicious slice of lemon cake. Loved the football conversation we had with you Debbie...shared too with my wife ( visited Wednesday 3/8/22 around 330pm ). A very neat, modern, clean hygenic cafe that provides a wide vista window view across the park. Outdoor seating equally good . Good luck to F.C Elmstead Est.1958 (here their home ground venue) for the 22/23 season and beyond. From Chris...a lifelong ' ADDICKS FAN' of Charlton Athletic F.C. since 1965."
