  • Active Campaign

A welcoming country pub that has been the centre of the village community since it was established 250 years ago. Core and seasonal beers are from its adjacent 1648 brewery, established in 2003 in the old stables, with Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter the regular guest alternative. Local real cider is always available. There is a walled garden to the rear and additional outside seating to the front.

The pub's website is not secured by encryption and verification, but as it is not interactive, this should not be a problem. A link to it has however been removed from this site but it can be found easily on Google if required.

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

Active Campaign

The King’s Head is up for sale, and a consortium of local villagers and others are hoping to purchase it to safeguard its future as the last remaining pub in the village. In order to raise funds for this, the Kings Head Community Benefit Society held a very well-supported meeting at the pub on the 1st November to launch a community share offer. Full details of this and their business plan, should the purchase of the pub be successful, are on their website. The society has already received support from Sussex Weald MP Nusrat Ghani, Wealden District Council, Tom Kerridge (the well-known chef and publican), several local breweries, and other organisations.
