Pub sign outside the Buller's Arms Hotel, Marhamchurch. Established (according to the pub sign) circa 1856. The pub is named after General Sir Redvers Henry Buller, VC, GCB, GCMG, a British Army officer and recipient of the Victoria Cross. He served as Commander-in-Chief of British forces in South Africa during the early months of the Second Boer War and subsequently commanded the army in Natal until his return to England in November 1900.

"This large and popular village pub/hotel, well-supported by the locals, offers a large L-shaped bar room having beamed ceilings and a slate-flagged floor. The room is spacious, with plenty of wooden tables and chairs, and a TV for sporting occasions; decorative bric-à-brac includes a pair of buffalo horns, and a stuffed fox and badger. The right-hand leg of the room hosts a dartboard and pool table, and an upright piano 'for adult use only'. The beers may vary from time to time and are generally from fairly local breweries. The Castle Gold is badged here as a house beer, General Buller Gold. The pub hosts quiz nights, and live entertainment monthly at the weekend. Family offerings include an under-5's softplay area Tuesday-Friday 10:00-16:30, and birthday party hosting on Saturdays."
