Traditional Free House.

A genuine free house situated near Worthing Hospital. This 19th century pub is dog friendly and has a small, copper topped, single bar with 6 handpumps. Typically 5 cask ales, 3 ciders and 11 kegs available, all changing regularly from both local and national brewers. A large blackboard displays the drinks available. In addition there is a good selection of canned and bottled beers, from UK, German and Belgian brewers (including Trappist and Gueze) together with some ciders and even alcohol free.

This pub closed in late 2022 and re-opened under new ownership in April 2023 having undergone a sympathetic refurbishment which has made the interior brighter but kept the pubs character. Owner also has the Hole in the Wall pub in Brighton.

A number of photos of old Worthing pubs hang on the walls.

A good beer guide regular for many years
