This Pub is Closed Long Term

Put up for sale by JD Wetherspoon 26th March 2024.

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

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. It has a few notices about famous local people and a number of silhouette decorations of cats in various pub-related poses (including drinking pints of beer and lying under a table).

Has a rare rule for a UK pub that you must leave the bar counter area as soon as you have been served. No standing at the bar with your drink is permitted.
