The oldest pub in Hythe and was the main inn when Hythe was a prosperious port. Much connected with the smuggling industry via a tunnel in the cellar. A mill stream used to run through the cellar too, but this is now piped through the tunnel. Parts of the inn go back to the fifteenth century and the deeds to the premises go back over 400 years. Skeletons of Revenue Men found when fireplace restored.
