11:45 Enticing looking pub from the outside, a sense of anticipation when opening the door and pleasure when entering. Really comfortable and welcoming. We were the first in but the general feel of the pub was just right even though it was early doors.

The pub is found in Keymer, West Sussex, BN6 8QT.

Old building (400 years old?) set back from the road, with two thirds refaced in 1930s including a flat room extension for the two entrance doors. It retains many fittings from the inter war renovation. On the left is the former Public Bar with a small curved bar counter, 1930s brick fireplace and dado panelling. Note the 1930s 'Jug & Bottle' sign on a beam that has come from a door and indicates the removal of the off sales. The former Saloon Bar has a '1' on the back of the door, a 1930s looking bar counter and a good bar back which may date from the same time. The fireplace within the inglenook is definitely 1930s work, dado panelling, and there is wall bench seating in the 1930s extension. Through a gap to the rear is another 1930s bar counter, dado panelling and a 'Private Bar' sign from a door on a piece of dado panelling. The right hand room is now set out for diners and has brick fireplace which is painted cream, and dado panelling. An early 1980s extension at the rear is a tiny area with a grandfather clock and beyond that the toilets.

We have visited this pub once, seen 2 different beers and tried 1 of them.
