The historic interior of the Delaval Arms

Recognition at the Delaval

Recognised nationally. Loved locally.

Independent guides, public ratings and heritage records offer different views of the same historic coastal pub.

The Telegraph pub guides

Included in 2025. Retained in 2026.

Named among The Telegraph’s 500 Best Pubs in England in 2025, and included again when the guide expanded to 650 pubs across the UK in 2026.

The 2026 guide brings together 650 pubs across the UK, including 500 in England, selected for their character, welcome, history and beer.

Independent records

Three measures. Clearly sourced.

Current public figures are dated, and every heritage claim links to the organisation that records it.

CAMRAHistoric

National Inventory interior

CAMRA records the mosaic entrance, etched glass, original curved bar counter and panelling.

The building behind the recognition

A historic interior, properly documented.

The Delaval’s recognition sits alongside a longer documented history, from its mid 18th century building to its surviving Edwardian interior and Grade II listing.
