Great little gastro pub at the foot of the south downs. Ideal place to visit mid way through or at the end of the walk. Terrace and beer garden if the weather's good. Fantastic beer selection from the local area. Welcoming to dogs and muddy boots. If you want food there's a great selection of small plates. The wings and squid were fantastic. Great mains selection and roasts on a Sunday. Welcoming staff.
Fantastically generous portion of Sunday Roast with a great selection of beer. Strong yet aromatic espresso was a good surprise. Very good service, too. Maybe better book in advance.
Perfect perfect setting!
Brilliant tasty pork belly roast meal!
I'm definitely coming back to do some walking here and then visiting this pub / restaurant again.
Lovely country setting, nice welcoming atmosphere, we had the roast which was really delicious, this is one of our favourite venues. Lovely ambience today (Sunday) despite a large party causing problems for staff by turning up very late for their booking etc. we really felt for them but they coped with it really well and look forward to our next visit.. it’s 5 stars from us and very well earnt on this occasion.. many thanks once again.
We stopped by for lunch and it was delicious. The staff were super friendly. We will be coming back.
Popped in on the off chance Saturday lunch time and were surprised to get a table. Good selection of local drinks ( some quite pricey ) with two ciders. Uncomplicated menu with most tastes catered for - we had half ribs and fish and chips which were a good size and well presented. Top garden shut but views are lovely this time of year
I have always driven past but never had the opportunity of stopping and enjoying such a lovely place. We opted for the Sunday roast, it did not disappoint! We had a beef and a pork roast and our son had fish and chips. Beautifully cooked, plenty of sides and good portion of meats, Yorkie was good too! Has outdoor seating at various points, lovely garden tucked away to the right of the pub through car park with its own bar. Great selection of lagers and ales. Highly recommend a visit!
This is a really lovely pub with two terraces and a large garden space. We were recommended to visit and we're really glad we did as the food was delicious and the service was lovely and friendly. While menu options aren't necessarily the broadest, there's still lots to choose from and we enjoyed the salt and pepper squid (shared) and a burger and a steak. All very tasty!
It's a popular spot for walkers in the day with the proximity to Devil's Dyke but also popular all-around so it's worth pre-booking at the weekend, especially if you'd like an outside table on the terrace. It's super easy to book on their website though. Enjoy!
First time I ever visited. Went with my daughter & nearly 2 year old granddaughter. Beautiful pub that was very welcoming. The roast dinners were huge & delicious. The view is stunning. Now, one of my favourite country pubs. Be warned: it is very popular & parking can be somewhat tricky - but it is worth it.
Top level walk and pub garden spot. Beer cracking and food good. Took well over an hour to get food served though, they were busy, I think they might have forgotten as it came out super fast after we raised with staff and arrived with lots of apologies. That aside we had such a nice time and weren’t bothered by the wait given the views in the background and great atmosphere. We’ll be back for sure
Wonderful location, and hands down the best chips we have ever eaten. I had the halloumi burger which was amazingly tasty, yummy cheese, pepper and mushrooms. Our waitress was charming, and the front of house chap took great care of us! Would also recommend if you are interested in local ales and a massive roast!

We (thankfully) changed our outside table for an inside one in view of the weather. We duly arrived for our 2pm table, the weather had played havoc with the electricity supply and we were greeted by Josh explaining that we were welcome to stay but the cooking times were extended as only some kitchen equipment was available. We stayed and all enjoyed our meals - we had 3 of the small plates as shared starters then 2 x lamb pie, 1 x burger and 1 x trout. However the electricity supply totally failed and there was no hot drinks. Josh and his staff are to be commended for their service and fortitude which must have been very trying with the upcoming Friday evening service. We cannot fault the food or the service. We are local to the Fulking area, and will be visiting again
This place is a hidden gem. We went with the vegan options and gosh, we were not disappointed. The food, the service, the landscape and the atmosphere are all 10/10.
We'll be back!
Food great and fantastic beer menu I mean really good. Lunch service slow but this was my only grumble. Get there EARLY
Went for lunch midweek. Sat in the garden. It was order at the bar service, which was good. Had a lot of variety of beer. We both choose a ploughman's which was rather expensive & lacking some of the traditional elements.
Some of the garden furniture is in need of replacing as is looking tired and unstable.
It is in a lovely location and has parking
Such a lovely pub lunch hidden gem. Not wanting to our standard weekend in town (Brighton) we ventured in the country side a bit for a fantastic lunch. We arrive just as several groups and it seemed almost everyone had booked, which you needed to do. We were greeted and sat by a friendly and funny man and knew quickly he'd worked there for ages. Hubby had a beer drafted by the pub and I enjoyed some seasonal mulled wine. To start we have a camembert bread dish which was amazing. Meals were their special lamb roast and their signature burger. Both were outstanding. As full as we both were we had to have their bread pudding special and oh my that was delightful. Great place for Sunday roast, next time we'll bring the walking shoes to burn off some of the yummy food.
Lovely garden and great choice of beers.
The food was good and the staff friendly.
Well worth a visit, especially welcome after the walk down the downs!
