Although originally Punch originated in Italy, he became a part of British culture particularly at seaside results in Punch and Judy shows.
The building is a Historic England Grade II Listed Building and was built in 1898.
The builder's were obviously confident that the pub name would be popular because the name is carved in relief in the facade and also there are relief carvings of the head of punch at the top of the building.
Date of first pub on site: 1898
