Important! This is a cashless pub, only card payments and the like are accepted. During the school summer holiday, the pub is additionally open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12:00 to 22:00.

An attractive weather-boarded pub built in 1640 with fantastic views across Romney Marsh, the outside drinking areas include part of the top of the town ramparts. An atmospheric location particularly at night, it is accessible from the steps adjacent to the ramparts of the Ypres Tower. Known locally as 'The Wipers' there is one large bar with an open log fire and an adjoining room plus a large garden with 25 tables. The house beer from Rother Valley Brewery is Ypres Castle Bitter with ABV 3.8%. The keg taps are devoted to keykeg and other craft ales, such as Rothaus Pils from Germany. Quality bar snacks are offered but the pub no longer operates a kitchen. Real cider and perry is from Nightingale Cider Company, a few miles away in Tenterden, over the Kent border. The pub has an annual short closure in January.
