Food & Drink
Sussex produce.
Properly cooked.
The kitchen is led by what is best from Sussex this week, vegetables from neighbouring farms, fish landed in Newhaven, meat from the local butcher. The menu changes constantly. Standards do not.
National Winner 2025
Best Food Offer. Shepherd Neame.
Out of thousands of pubs, we were judged the best food offer in the country. The award is not why we cook. It is what happens when a small kitchen takes good ingredients seriously, day after day.
The menu changes with the seasons. Sample menus below, your visit will look different, but the standards will not.
