The freehold is being offered for sale through agents Everard Cole seeking offers in the region of £250,000. We understood an offer was received as at June 2026 from a buyer who intended to run it as a free house. However, a planning application has been submitted for change of use to a convenience store.

An application for the pub to be registered as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) was refused by Canterbury City Council.
