Dating back to the 1500s, this building has been an inn since 1896. Birthplace of the FILO brewery, which is now located a few hundred metres away this pub has a large single bar dominated by a central open fire and a restaurant to the rear of the building, it is a traditional local with cosy booth seating and the convivial buzz of conversation. Located in the heart of Hastings Old Town it is popular with locals and visitors alike. Often six cask beers, including four from the FILO range are available. Monday night is Tapas night and Thursday is Thali night. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as Sundays once a month, live music features. The council car park located to the rear (on the Bourne) is accessible through a side pedestrian alleyway. In 2023 reached twenty consecutive years appearing in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and it was awarded a certificate from the local CAMRA Branch marking this run of excellence. Proprietors Sharon and Mike are shown with the award in the presentation picture above.
