Real ale discount scheme

Arguably the oldest building in Crawley High Street, dating back to 1400 and complete with two active ghosts. As befits such a building, the pub has a great range of up to eight real ale and up to six ciders, plus keg and cans, complemented by a traditional food offering. The licensee has a true passion and skill for the trade, demonstrated by the positively inspired range of guest ales available, usually with at least one dark ale on.

Gives CAMRA discount, also runs additional loyalty scheme.
