No website available

Situated in the heart of old St Leonards, in Mercatoria, a short walk from Warrior Square and the seafront, this pleasant back street free house is a quiet, atmospheric and dog friendly pub. The bar is an unusual horseshoe shape, with at the rear, a separate narrow and quieter room. Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter is the regular ale, with three changing beers, nationally sourced. The pub does not serve food, however, an adjoining restaurant opens Tuesday to Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes. Occasional live music sessions are held and weekly backgammon and chess clubs.
