Black Lion

Lively traditional pub on the corner with Maple Road. Owned by Young’s since 1840, when the coach to Brighton stopped outside. A dark mahogany bar serves two areas, with steps leading to more seating at one side. The lounge end is carpeted and has leaded windows, while the public end has a slate floor. Live sport on TV from BT and Sky inside and outside. Quiz night is Tuesday, and bands play most Saturday evenings. The pub has seven en-suite letting rooms and serves good value food, including roasts on Sundays. Accredited for beer quality during 2019.
