Bexhill's first micropub opened in November 2019, owned and run by two local CAMRA members, is conveniently close to the town centre, seafront, bus routes and Bexhill station. Owned and run by two cask ale and cider enthusiasts, drinkers can always expect no fewer than five real ales and four real ciders, served from a chilled cabinet adjacent to the bar with other drinks available. Draught take-outs are available, and a good selection of canned beers and ciders. It is furnished with both high chairs and low chairs at tables, with a couple of tables outside on the pavement at the front.

In 2021 this former shop and showroom of a local brick manufacturer won the CAMRA “Conversion to Pub Use” national award. Iin 2022, 2023 and 2024 it was local CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year, as well as being Cider Pub of the Year runner up in 2022 and 2023. The presentation pictures show joint landlords, Martin and Robin, with their 2023 and 2024 local Pub of the Year awards. In 2024 the pub went on to become Sussex Pub of the Year and then Regional Pub of the Year, one of just seventeen in the U.K., from which the ultimate National Pub of the Year was selected.

Conversion

A micropub close to the town centre, seafront and transport. Real ales and ciders are dispensed by gravity, with other drinks available. It won a CAMRA Pub Design Award for its conversion of a former shop and showroom of a brick and tile manufacturer. It is a super job that makes the most of important old features such as a fireplace and a mosaic at the entrance advertising the company's wares. The result is a pub that has the feel of an old alehouse.
