First licensed in 1415, the pub was likely in situ and trading long before this date. Situated on the London to Brighton coaching road via Speldhurst, the pub has been providing weary travellers refreshment for more than six centuries. The oldest part of the building structure has original oak beams from merchant ships and a beautiful inglenook fireplace on the back wall, which would have been burning non stop back in the day as the only source of heat in the pub.

As with all old buildings there are many tales of ghostly goings on, but even in 2021 there have been several incidences of the cash register suddenly leaping off the bar in front of surprised customers! Believe it or not….
