Alex Jacquemin, our head chef, and his team offer great pub food that is freshly prepared using the freshest and finest local ingredients. The menus attached are examples of what we offer and do change regularly to reflect the changing seasons.
Tables of up to 8 guests can be be reserved online, and may enjoy the full menu. For tables of more than this we offer a restricted menu with a choice of four dishes per course. This allows for guests to choose their food on the day, and for us to serve you in a timely way.
None of our desserts are bought in, but prepared on the premises; they are worth saving space for!

Selection of Local Artisan Cheeses & Biscuits - Homemade Chutney – 9
Sussex Camembert
A traditional hand made camembert style cheese; soft and creamy with a beautiful mildness,
Barkham Blue
Barkham Blue has a delicious unique flavour due to its rich milk. When mature it becomes very soft and buttery which melts in the mouth and does not leave the harsh metallic taste sometimes associated with blue cheese.
Olde Sussex Cheddar
The award-winning Olde Sussex is a traditional hard British farmhouse cheese, made with raw British Frisian cows’ milk. Although a hard cheese, it has an open and bouncy texture and is superbly butter-rich in colour. Olde Sussex is unpasteurised and vegetarian.
Sister Sarah
A mild cheese, with a light and delicious flavour and without any of the ‘goatiness’ which is often associated with a goat cheese.

Dessert Wine
Santa Julia Tardio, Torrentes, 2012
Mendoza, Argentina 125ml 6.25 12% Alc Vol
500ml 18
This wine exudes intense aromas of over matured fruits, honey and dried fruits like pears, apricots and peaches. It is a sweet, unctuous in the mouth, silky, with balanced acidity. Complex and long finish.
Elysium Black Muscat, California, USA 125ml 8.50 15% Alc Vol 375ml 25
One of the very few black muscats. Elysium is Greek for Heaven, a fitting association for this excellent wine made by Andrew Quady. One of the few wines that can stand up to Chocolate Puddings, or try it poured over Vanilla Ice Cream, for the ultimate after-dinner treat!
