The Bar
In the bar you will find cosy corners, deep sofas and a fabulous pewter bar, perfect for a quick pint, delicious supper or a lively catch-up with friends.
The existing downstairs area has been stripped back and we have restored the parquet wooden floor to it's former glory, uncovered a beautiful chimney stack that now houses a double sided wood burner stove and carefully polished and repaired original wooden banquette seating.
The Ryebank
Move through to the Ryebank for a bite to eat in our stunning oak-beamed room. This glorious space looks out over the terrace and the local rife.
And you'll find full flavour menus, inspired by the seasons, bursting with traditional pub grub favourites and local ingredients, specials include our Spicy Guinness and Sussex Charmer soup and Climping beach fish pie.
The Pink Room
A fabulous area for private parties for up to 10 guests.
This is the perfect room for a cosy celebration, fun family lunch or noisy dinner party.
And yes, it is extremely pink!
