The former County Oak is now under new management and now called the New Oak. It now serves food. It is still a traditional public house which is well established within the local community. Inside you will find a warm and friendly atmosphere. Sky Sports is available. The pub was opened in March 1961 to replace the original pre-fabricated building adjacent (opened Sept 1950) which was Hollingbury Library. The rear function room has fine prospects over the South Downs.
The pub was opened in March 1962 & replaced the original pre-fabricated building adjacent to it (which opened in Sept 1950 and is now Hollingbury library).
It has a pleasing exterior but has been much altered internally (one drinker said it was in the 1970s which seems quite early for a refurb whilst another said it was when children were allowed to drink in pubs, so 1995?).
There are three bars (in a U shape) with the large function room to the north (which has good prospects over the South Downs) and usually only open for functions.
Original sash windows plus two original fireplaces.
