Food & Drink

Drinks

Guinness stout being poured from tap at The Thatched Inn pub bar in West Sussex.

Wine that pairs well with a long catch-up.

Beer that tastes best after a walk on the Downs.

A spritz that belongs in the garden when the sun turns up.

Whether it’s a quiet pint or a celebration, you’ll always find something worth raising a glass to here.

Sip. Share the moment. Settle in.

Food

Expect pub comfort with a little extra thought behind it: crispy smash burgers, proper roasts, slow-braised favourites and bright seasonal plates that change with the kitchen’s creative flair (and the weather).

Hearty, honest, generous.

Food for everyone that you’ll want to share, even if you’re not the sharing type.

Come hungry. Leave nourished.
