The Cherry Tree, Copthorne

I agree totally with BrianBlessed. I moved to the area a couple of years ago and was delighted to find this place just 5 minutes walk away. Open fires, real beams, good beer, real locals, bands at the weekend and a pool table in the public side. What could be better?

The landlord told me it would be closing for a couple of months to be refurbished but assured me it wouldn't be losing its character.

I returned soon after it reopened and lo and behold it was destroyed. I have not been back since and will never again.
I wrote to the brewery to ask them how they could let another great old country pub be destroyed, but they couldn't be bothered to reply.

I notice that they are doing a lot of cheapo theme evenings now including one that offered free jelly for kids.

Can't wait till it closes down.
