Now the last pub in the village. Dating from the 14th Century, it has two bars and a separate restaurant available for functions. The bars are heated by wood burning stoves in winter. Locals enjoy the all day opening where friendly bar staff add to the relaxed atmosphere. The pub is situated close to Ashdown Forest and is not far from Pooh Bridge. Under new management from July 2024.

Asset of Community Value

18th century building with a lovely veranda on the front. In 1982 changes saw the creation of a new bar at the rear in what was the kitchen with its large inglenook fireplace and flagstone floor. The old, possibly inter-war, counter was moved from the front bar to the new rear bar and modern bar back shelving added. A wide gap leads to a large dining area at the rear. In the front main bar a wood and glass partition that separated the two rooms - note two doors - was removed and new counter and bar back fitting installed in 1982. The dado panelling and good fixed seating on the left and right hand sides look to be from the 1930s, as does the brick fireplace. Thee is a small pool room between the two bars with a hatch that has the same counter front as main bar. Not inventory material.
