James Cuthbertson, director at Dark Star, said: “For years people have been asking us if we can open a venue in Horsham, so when this opportunity presented itself, we jumped at it.

“Having previously traded as The Anchor Tap, we will be reverting to that name and bringing back some of the tradition that comes with the site, investing heavily in creating something beautiful in the town.

“What we want to create is a venue that provides locals with a great place to go and have a drink and a bite to eat that’s independent, locally owned and operated, using products from local producers.

“For those people that might be concerned, let’s set the record straight -this isn’t about late night drinking or discounted drink deals – far from it. This is about creating something unique that grown-ups can enjoy and adding something to the street and neighbourhood.
