On the edge of Ashdown Forest, the Red Lion has been a pub since 1874. In 1963 President Kennedy and Harold MacMillan enjoyed a pint here, and it was filmed as Arthur Dent's local in the TV series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There is a welcoming bar with log fire and a dining area with garden views, plus a large garden to the rear. Children and dogs are welcome but not on Friday and Saturday evenings. There are occasional seasonal ales in the winter months.

Regular beers: Harveys Sussex Best Bitter,Shepherd Neame Spitfire,Shepherd Neame Whitstable Bay
