Sussex is famous for its traditional country pubs and charming inns, set in quaint villages, rolling countryside and coastal locations. There’s something for everyone, with many pubs offering family-friendly environments and dog-friendly policies, as well as cosy accommodation.
For a classic Sussex pub experience, the Black Rabbit near Arundel is set on the River Arun, providing stunning riverside views towards the castle. Or visit The Star in East Sussex, which is set in the centre of the mediaeval village of Alfriston and dates back to the 15th century.
For those looking for something more modern, The Crabtree near Horsham has a sleek interior and an impressive wine list. Or for local ingredients try The Sussex Ox in Polegate, which sources ingredients from its own organic farm, served in a charming country location.
If you love seafood, head to the 350-year-old Crab & Lobster, on the banks of Pagham Harbour. And if you’re visiting for our cycling trails, The Ginger Fox is a great spot for a pitstop, with a spacious garden and cycle racks in the South Downs National Park.
