Cyphers Bar
Community, Coffee, Cricket & Celebrations.
Cyphers bar is run by Robert Painter and Margaret Bailey.
Rob and Maggs took over the management of Cyphers Bar in 2008.
Rob and Maggs have a strong background in the hospitality/pub industry and the local area, having both lived in and around SE6 all their lives.
Between them Rob and Maggs have worked in The two brewers, the Prince of Wales and the Rutland Arms.
The mantra learned at the Rutland Arms provides the foundations for the Cyphers Bar,
" Customers are key, Superior service is paramount"
Cyphers bar is situated in the grounds of Catford Cyphers Cricket club.
Catford Cyphers Cricket club welcomes all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
Here at Cyphers bar, we bring the community spirit together.
Weather it is cheering on our cricket team,
Fundraising for a local charity,
Hosting a function in our hall,
Meeting a pal, enjoying one of our beers, extensive selection of gins or non alcoholic substitutes,
Or a beautiful crafted hot drink on a spring or autumn day.
We will be here waiting with a friendly smile, to help in any way we can.
See you soon
