Community Owned

Freehold Owner: Community Benefit Society. Year Purchased April 2026.

The King’s Head was up for sale, and a consortium of local villagers and others hoped to purchase it to safeguard its future as the last remaining pub in the village. In order to raise funds for this, the Kings Head Community Benefit Society held a very well-supported meeting at the pub to launch a community share offer. Full details of this and their business plan, are on their website. The society received support from Sussex Weald MP Nusrat Ghani, Wealden District Council, Tom Kerridge (the well-known chef and publican), several local breweries, and other organisations. In April 2026 the society completed the purchase, and the pub reopened at Easter 2026.
