Refurbished in 2025, this is a truly classic pub which has so much history that it even features in the Dickens novel "Great Expectations". On a sunny day enjoy the outside area near the sea or in the winter, settle down by the real fireplace in the warm and cosy pub. Whether you just fancy a drink upstairs in the "Drifters Bar" where pool and darts can be played or would like a meal in the downstairs restaurant area the pub caters for everyone. Up to 4 cask beers are served and 1 real cider.

Historic Interest

Featured in Charles Dickens "Great Expectations"
