Been there a few times now. Lovely staff, food created with care, excellent local cider!!! Location is amazing with great walks and views around the area. Driving there through the Sussex countryside is also a treat! We had a gluten free and vegan chocolate desert with vanilla ice cream and custard. Really nice!!! 😋 will definitely return!!!

I popped in here twice last weekend as I heard great things about their food especially their international menu and I was not disappointed at all...
My first venture I had a Russian cabbage roll dish (Golubtsyi, translated as "little pigeons")... a hearty dish consisting of cooked cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling of ground beef, rice, onions, carrots and spices slow cooked in a tomato based cream sauce (possibly sour cream, or cream and a squeeze of lemon)... Served with a creamy mash and accompanied with some pickled mushrooms & cabbage and a cooked tomato... Very filling and satisfying!
My second dish the following day was a dish called pelmeni, Russian dumplings that consist of a seasoned meaty filling wrapped in thin, unleavened dough which is served in a tomato/cream sauce... Basically little pillows of deliciousness!
The atmosphere was a typical country pub setting with a nice welcoming feel, where you don't feel rushed and can just sit there and relax over a pint! Staff were lovely and accommodating...

Excellent, genuinely ancient country pub. This fine hostelry serves "Sussex Best" real ale, by Palmer's of Lewes
One of our favourite countryside walks, has this stop for refreshments. My Swedish friend was amazed by the roast belly pork main. I agree absolutely, a perfectly cooked dish with all the accompanying vegetables. Also look up the great history, which includes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, smugglers and a rating in Jamie Oliver's Top 100 pubs.
Fabulous Sunday lunch, reasonably priced in a beautiful pub. The steak and ale pie was delicious. Professional service with a smile. Will definitely be returning thank you.
If you arexa lover of cheese then go here for the cheese board alone. It is the best I have ever eaten. Bar none. The wines are good and extremely reasonable. Tthe oortion sizes are fantastic. These guys know how to entertain.
Came here with my brother who is a regular/local and I was made to feel very welcome by the landlord and his staff and would've stayed longer had it not for needing to get the bus home.
Can't comment on the food as I we didn't dine there but 100% brilliant country pub.
A good country pub offering good beer in an agreeable setting. Bus 291 stops outside.
A great pub interesting menu with both vegan and gluten free options.
Food all cooked to order and tasty generous portions
Great staff

The food here is to die for- we came twice!! The lamb wellington is cooked to perfection. Beer Garden is lovely and staff were very co-operative about getting the food up the hill.
