Three handpumps, offering TT LL, Tribute and Harvey's Sussex Best. Keg was Aspall, Neck Oil, Pravha, Estrella, Asahi, Moretti, Guinness, Brooklyn Pilsner and their own branded Chequers Pale Ale.

Town centre venue, very homely with its real fires all lit on my very wet and miserable day of attendance. The U-shaped bar counter forms the centre piece of the venue with some sensible tall stool seating that doesn't obstruct access to the bar. Seating via leather banquettes around a good part of the rear perimeter serving regular tables, some wingback leather armchairs near the fire in the rear left-hand corner. Original flagstones in that corner and then a seagrass flooring to the right of that in the far corner of the bar counter and indeed around the front part of the venue. Some semi-circular fabric banquettes in the front to the left of the entrance. There is a dark wood panelled room to the right of the entrance with a couple of regular tables plus a round table served on one side by a leather sofa. Nice lighting and a languid guitar-based soundtrack on my visit. Cosy but lacking a bit on the beer inventiveness.
