We take our food very seriously – our aim is to buy local, in season and cook from scratch whenever that is possible, producing straight-forward but excellent modern British pub food, with the odd adventurous regularly changing special to keep our chefs’ creative juices flowing. We hope, in time, to be able to measure our food metres, rather than food miles – but it will take time to develop meaningful relationships with local producers. A journey we look forward to.

We have a passion for interesting and adventurous wine and beer. Our main drinks menu is full of recognisable products and brands but keep an eye out for our regularly changing guest ale and wine offers.

Local matters – our main drinks supplier is the only key supplier not based in Sussex (or very close to it). For everything else, from our plumbers, carpenters and electricians, to our wine supplier and food suppliers, we have tried to be as local as we can – with many based in Southwater, Horsham and Christs Hospital.
