A community based, welcoming local, dating from the 1830s, there are two bars. The name harks back to wartime as Australian soldiers billeted nearby described the pub. It has a loyal core of locals many of whom gather for important sports events shown in one of the two bars. There is plenty of couch seating around tables; patrons often organise card games taking advantage of this layout. It is a Harvey’s tied house serving two ales from that brewery. Cider on sale is Westons Rosie's Pig, not real cider according to CAMRA's definition.

Information for this venue is provided by the South East Sussex Branch of CAMRA
