EAT OUT
​
We are very lucky to have so many great local places to eat and enjoy a tasty tipple.
Here are a few of our favourite places to eat out.
The Richmond Arms
Ten minutes walk.
​
Our personal favourite, although it is the more expensive of our local gastro pubs, but my goodness, is it worth it!!
A fantastic menu with local specials that never fail to be delicious, inspiring and with a great wine list and selection of drinks. It is limited on space though so booking is recommended or you could always try their pizza/tapas add on restaurant, just as tasty with a smaller price tag.
The Horse & Groom
2 minute drive / 25 minutes walk
​
A very traditional pub with a wonderful victorian range and various fire places making it very cosy.
A very reasonable menu with all the pub favourites done with excellence and generous helpings!
A great place for a drink with the locals after a walk on the South Downs.
​
The Fox & Hounds
2 minute drive / 35 minute walk
​
This is a spacious and welcoming local pub. They often have live music on a Saturday night.
We recommend their carvery on a Sunday, delicious and great value for money. A well rounded menu for a mid-range dinner.
Family friendly due to the space and only 2 minutes drive from Oakwood Glamping or a 35 minute walk on a Sunday lunch time.

There are so many great ones to choose from. The Hare & Hounds at Stoughton is a pretty Downland village pub with outside seating. Take a walk over Kingley Vale and finish with a drink or a meal there.
​
The Crown & Anchor at Del Quay is another great find. Tasty food, excellent drinks and a view over the harbour. Lots of outside seating and ice cream on the green if the weather is right!
​
Take a drive through the countryside and see which one tempts you in.
