The pub is all on one level and totally step free. Its name references the nearby medieval highway which went to Rye in Sussex. The building itself is from the late 1800s and has been a retail space of one type or another since then, this is its first time as a pub. Inside it is long and deep with a relatively short glazed frontage. It can accommodate some 150 customers sitting inside plus there is a covered area at the front for outside drinking.

Formerly run as a Wetherspoons pub, the pub was closed in August 2024. The pub re-opened as an independent sports bar in mid=December 2025.

The 10 handpumps have been retained here but availability of cask ale has not yet been confirmed beyond doubt.

Historic Interest

Closed as a Wetherspoon house at close of business of Sunday 25th August 2024
