Cherry Tree, Copthorne

This pub, which is to be found on the outskirts of Copthorne village, is over 400 years old, and used to be a library. It has been very well renovated to give a small and cosy bar to the left of the building. The interior is a mixture with floorboards, flagstones and carpet, while the walls are either panelled, papered or bare brick. The walls throughout are adorned with tasteful bric-a-brac and old black and white photographs. The main function of the pub is food, and there are several areas away from the bar in which to dine. To the right hand part of the pub is another drinking area where there is a large inglenook fireplace with a stove in it. The menu is mainly British food and is served 12-3 and 6-9:30 Monday to Saturday and 12-4 Sunday. Steaks are a speciality, although there is a wide variety of food available including daily specials. The pub also opens for breakfast from Monday to Saturday from 9-11. The guest beer will be a seasonal beer from Badger.
