This Pub is Permanently Closed

A large redbrick, red-tiled pub, set back from the A27. This one bar pub was built in 1954 in a typical Charrington brewery style. It was renamed the Abbot of Sompting for a few years, but reverted back to its original name in 2010 following a revamp. Sports dominate the one roomed pub, which can be divided into two with the use of a sliding partition . Darts, pool & local parks football teams are supported, as well as live sport being shown.
