Following a period of closure, this venue reopened in November 2023 under Jack Greenall’s Wren Pubs vehicle which also runs the Surprise in Chelsea and Carpenter's Arms in Hammersmith. The ground floor now contains a horseshoe-shaped bar designed by local furniture-maker Rupert Bevan, and the pub interior decor includes reclaimed furniture, historic maps, and commissioned artworks from artist Jack Penny. The first and second levels are being used for private events.

Food includes bar snacks, Sunday roasts, a kids' menu, and of course a main menu that includes pub favourites plus some more unusual dishes. There is a substantial drinks menu including up to three cask ales at prices reasonable for the area.

Although some tables are set for diners, it is possible just to have a drink.

Further updates welcome.

Historic Interest

Built in 1853, the pub was named after the castle where the Duke of Wellington had recently died. (The castle is the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports).
