CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT * OPENING SOON *

AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER BEGINS

Following its acquisition in February 2026, The King’s Head in East Hoathly is now proudly owned by the local community. This isn’t just a change of ownership. It’s a promise… to deliver a traditional village pub to be proud of.

This beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of East Sussex will now be protected and preserved as a pub for generations to come. You can find out how a village bought it’s beloved local (and why that’s good news for everyone) here.

WE’RE CLOSED FOR A QUICK REFRESH…

We’re refurbishing some areas, working hard behind the scenes to bring you a pub that’s warm and welcoming, fresh but familiar. We’re sympathetically restoring, preserving and enhancing some of its historic features, but there’ll be upgrades too! Look out for new-look washrooms, refreshed décor and free full-coverage Wi-Fi. From a perfectly poured pint to a cosy log fire, we want to get the details right.

…BUT WE’LL BE OPEN AGAIN SOON!

We’re planning to open the doors and welcome you back to a re-invigorated, vibrant village pub in just a few weeks’ time. We’re really excited to see you and can promise a warm welcome!
