Tamplin’s of Brighton carried out a major refit at this eighteenthcentury building in the 1950s. The public bar was converted to a small snug bar with a wood-block floor, distinctive curved counter with a Formica inlaid top, back fitting and seating. The old stone fireplace remains. The main bar has a wood-block floor and the large wavy curved counter and servery fittings are of the 1950s once more. Note the number of Tamplin's barrel seats which date from the refitting. The small dining room at the rear is of 1950s style. The pub is the tap for the nearby Long Man brewery.
A 18th century brick, flint and tile hung pub formerly owned by Tamplins of Brighton. Tamplins Brewery or the owner in the late 1950s carried out a refitting and the interior is little changed from then. The tenant/owner also owned the famous racehorse Mill House, born in 1957, which won the Gold Cup in 1963, and the Whitbread Cup in 1967, and named the main room the 'Mill House Bar'. In around 1957 a brick and tiled roof was added to the front left and at the rear left an extension added to bring toilets inside.
The original front public bar was converted to a small snug bar with a wood block floor, a distinctive curved 1950s counter front with a Formica inlaid top, a 1950s bar back fitting with Formica on the main shelf and glass shelves and 1950s fitted seating. The original stone fireplace remains with an old fireback and log fire.
The main bar has a wood block floor, the large wavy curved bar counter is of a classic 1950s style with a Formica inlaid top, the 1950s bar back is as the snug one - all the lower bar back shelves are definitely 1950s with just a couple of fridges replacing part. Note the number of (Tamplins) barrel seats which date from the refitting. The small dining room at the rear also looks of a 1950s style and the seating is arranged in a stable-like way.
