This two-room pub, once belonging to brewers Henty & Constable of Chichester, is in a building probably dating from the seventeenth century, according to the grade II listing. It received an inter-war refit, some features of which survive, particularly in the rear public bar with its plain counter and bar-back shelving, wall-panelling, brick fireplaces and Tudor-style panelled ceiling (this might be post-war). The front lounge bar, mainly for diners, also has an attractive counter, two brick fireplaces, a full-height baffle by the front door and slatted wood-panelled walls. The exterior is painted in an old English colour called cinnabar, hence the pub’s nickname of the ‘Pink Pub’. Toilets modernised.
