The pub is found in Crowborough, East Sussex, TN6 2NF.
A brick and weather-boarded pub, in the Jarvis Brook district, sold by Charrington's in 1971 and now a multi-roomed Harveys pub. The rear two rooms are the original public rooms, the front room is situated in a weather-boarded extension to the original building, which was private quarters and converted to pub use possibly in 1972. The small rear public bar has a red brick floor, old dado panelling, a large old brick and wood,surround fireplace. The counter front dates from 1972 as service until then was via two hatches. An old scrubbed table and low basic bench add to the traditional character of the room. It has been combined with another small room with a bare wood floor. The small middle bar has an large old fireplace with mirrored carved mantelpiece above. A drawing on the wall shows that in 1964 there was a doorway to the servery and beer was served from casks on a stillage - the counter here was also added in 1972. There is old dado panelling on one wall. The front saloon bar on a lower level has unusual panelled walls, a baffle/draught screen by the door, an old copper fireplace with some tiling above, old wood surround and a coal fire. The counter was added here in 1972 and all the counters have modern wooden bar tops - until 2008 two of them had beaten copper tops from 1972. The lower bar back shelving (sadly spoiled by two fridges) has come from Mayfield College and installed here in 1995 and above are some modern shelves attached to modern panelling on the exterior wall. Outside gents are now under cover and modernised.
We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried 1 of them.
