    Great meal. One of our party had the Steak and Ale pie and as a lover of pies said it was the best he’d tasted. Also top marks for the sticky toffee pudding.

    Charming historic pub in the Ashdown Forest, with everything you’d expect from such a place. Blazing fires, colourful locals, great food prepared from scratch, Harvey’s beer, remote location. Love it!
