A Grade II listed, late 18th century, former coaching inn. It reopened January 2015 after a £1.7 million refurbishment by new owners Wetherspoons. This included a new extension to the rear. The pub is on three levels with a series of drinking booths behind the long bar. The guest ales are often from local breweries such as Only with Love and Three Acre.
This landmark building was listed in 1953. Around that time it was renamed The Crowborough Cross, as a result of legislation. It had long been the Red Cross, but the use of the emblem of the red cross was protected by the Geneva Conventions of 1949. It is thought to have got its name from the stopping places marked on maps by a red cross to help coachmen who were unable to read or write.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers (often from local breweries such as Only with Love and Three Acre) and 3 regular beers.
