The pub itself has been around since circa 1650 ?, and has Ben kept as a traditional pub....lovely log fire, chestnuts can be roasted in a pan, great selection of ales......and the nice thing is they sell Biltong, (for those that like it)!

This place was ten minutes walk from our B&B and had been recommended by Alaistar Sawday which usually means you have fair chance of getting some decent food and ale although he does seem to err on the side of a "posh" boozer As I recall there were three cask ales available, all pretty bog standard stuff but well kept and very drinkable. I had a bowl of the winter vegetable soup with some nice bloomer bread, very warming and nourishing on a chilly November day. As usual B was spot on with her choice of Sussex rarebit with homemade tomato chutney, I had a taste and then tried a bit more. Tasty cheese, a good dash of Wostershire sauce and a big dollpop of very flavoursome mustard which, when combined with the chutney, is my idea of food heaven. I was all for staying and trying out a couple of main courses but B was having none of it and we jumped in a taxi and made our way to nearby Upwaltham for the wedding celebration. If I'm ever back in the area I will definetely rmake a return visit to give the menu a good try out.

But, if you are lucky enough to find this charming country pub, you are in store for the perfect English pub experience. This centuries old homestead still oozes that ancient feel. The dishes are not only classic English but also have exciting takes on Korean and Indian fare. I say stick with the local drafts on tap and the classic English dishes. My favorites were the pea and ham soup (If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to put it over the top) and the local sausage and mash is on another level. The gravy is to die for!

With friends and family, it offers the that lovely warm, cosy feeling on Winter days/nights. The Christmas Day menu/price works out at £60.00, could be seen as pricey but I've seen some at £85.00. Lunch and Dinner prices are around £11 £16 for Mains. Plenty of parking. If you coming from the West via A24, there is a lovely drive from The Old Barn nursery which brings you out nearly opposite The Fountain. Bit of winding lane though, so Vorsicht!!

A good selection of real ale, sets off the old beams and friendly land lady. Moving with pint in had to the large garden overlooking the south downs way (see photos) we soon had steaming masses of food arriving. My lamb with apricots and apples was sumptuous. The liver and bacon my sister had was adequate, but the fish pie was a real winner, salmon, prawns, white fish in a creamy mash. Mmmmm. By the piles of benches stacked against a barn it looks like it gets very busy in the summertime - and according to some locals it "isn't as good as it was before it was discovered" but all in all a great lunch and think it is a great find. Heartily recommend, hope some other Qypers can discover it too.

Hot and runny venison scotch egg with pickled fennel was crisply delicious as was the chargrilled white asparagus, crunchy poached egg and Alba truffle mayonnaise, while haloumi also came crisply battered with a herb-filled dipping butter. A decent-sized plate of mussels was made more interesting with the addition of rice and chorizo in the broth, but the slow-cooked, smokey beef brisket was the star of the show, closely followed by some of the best triple-cooked chips ever eaten. A delicious rhubarb fool and some gorgeous ice creams including sea-salt caramel and liquorice completed a superb meal. The menu pictured will show you the prices. We will return!

Running an award winning inn in Vermont USA we have high standards and Emma who is front of house knows her onions, and Dotty her wonderful hairy companion was the cherry on top of the cake! The 2 rooms offered as accommodation are simple but very comfortable, but the bed we found to be very springy...which was not uncomfortable but unusual for us, as we are used to a firmer mattress. However we slept well, and also heard little noise from the busy pub downstairs. The bathroom had a great soaking tub as we were upgraded to the larger of the two rooms. To sum up: The breakfast was freshly cooked with a cracking local sausage and bacon on offer, but also on offer was a simple selection of fresh fruits, yoghurt and homemade bread, so we started each day well. I had dinner there one night with the bride and some family and we all enjoyed the dinner. In particular the homemade scotch egg and sardine appertisers were fantastic. Every dish was prepared with passion and William is a chef with creative and consistent culinary style at the top of his daily routine. The pub also serves delicious pints of ale...which I had to partake of! As we were there over a weekend the wood fired pizza oven was burning and my they make a bloody great pizza! So if you want a great meal, and want to consume a few drinks, book a room and stay over....you will not be disappointed!
