This classic Victorian pub, unusual in the area for not doing food, is in the heart of Ocklynge about a mile from the town centre and close to the Old Town. Two bars, one a classic public with pool table, darts and juke box, the other a comfortable quieter lounge. Three beers from Harveys are usually on plus two of their seasonals, which were particularly well reviewed by CAMRA members attending the 2022 National Members’ Weekend in Eastbourne. Outside are an undercover heated smoking area at the rear and a front garden with seating. It is situated on local bus routes, but has limited car parking. On bank holiday weekends Monday opening is extended to noon to 11pm.

The pub was runner up in the local CAMRA Branch's Pub of the Year competition in 2019; picture shows the pub's proprietors accepting the award from the branch chair during Covid restrictions. It was Branch LocAle Pub of the Year in 2020 and Pub of the Year 2022 runner up.
