Cosy old rural inn divided into small rooms, including one reserved for dining and one with a blazing wood burning stove in winter. It has splendid tiled floors, wood half- panelled walls and low beams. You can buy a hand crafted walking stick to help ascend the nearby Downs. Outside, the large, pleasant garden enjoys superb views of the South Downs. The garden has free range chickens and its own old-fashioned privy. In summer there are four beers (mainly from local micros), and three in winter, all served by gravity dispense from a stillage alongside the bar. Meals are substantial and of high quality. This is a popular and homely pub, which you will be reluctant to leave. Nearest practical bus now 3km away. Pub is opposite the village cricket ground.
