The Beacon is a large suburban establishment with a spacious bar, one wing devoted to pub games and a very large TV screen, the other being a comfortable lounge area. The pub's ethos is to be an attractive venue for the whole local community, with plenty of room for drinking, sports TV and eating. Following a smart new makeover it re-opened under new management in August 2013.

Reduced price Real Ale on Mondays.

Historic Interest

Once a private house called Copthorne Villa, but converted into a pub under Trouncers in 1939. (It actually opened in November 1939 on a wet and windy night in the blackout, yet despite this several hundred customers were reported as attending the opening night.)
