A 160 year old building opposite the historic Pevensey Castle, the tenant, in place since October 2019, grew up in the village. The pub sees itself as an important part of the community. It has been sympathetically redecorated and refurbished with sofas and armchairs in the main single bar area, with tables set for eating at the side and with the addition of a gazebo over the large patio area. There is a large walled beer garden, with children's play area. Dogs and children are welcome.

The menu is changed seasonally with locally sourced ingredients, home made dishes and popular Sunday roasts. Parties can be catered for including weddings, birthdays, wakes and at Christmas and New Year. Its three ales are also sourced locally, from three different breweries.

Although Pevensey Bay station is nearer, Pevensey & Westham (800 metres) has a better service.
