The Bax Castle at Two Mile Ash Road, Southwater, has been undergoing refurbishment but announced its reopening this week.

In a statement on social media, the pub thanked everyone who had helped with the works and added: “We'd also like to thank all the locals, dog walkers, cyclists, walkers, passers by and general enquirers for you support, interest and taking the time to stop and chat and listen to us waffle on about what's been happening.”

The Bax, situated next to the Downs Link trail, was put on the market last March by the Marston’s pub chain.

The pub building itself dates from the 15th century and was formerly a weaver's cottage belonging to a man called Bax – and the pub named after him.
