This is a charming family run restaurant housed in a small thirteenth century listed thatched building at the foot of the South Downs. A lovely little Sussex dwelling given a new lease of life by chef Andy Stephenson, and his wife Julia, who have owned it since nineteen-ninety-seven, they make it their pleasure to run a tightly-ordered, friendly ship, with thirty seats in the beamed dining room. The venue has a relaxed atmosphere with an emphasis on guests' enjoyment of the food and wine.

The modern British cuisine has gained many accolades, including 2 AA rosettes, and entries into both the Michelin and the Good Food Guide. One member of the family scours the surrounding countryside looking for the best and sometimes the unusual produce, frequently attended by great success. The establishment is proud to serve all locally sourced ingredients, sticking to seasonal food. The extensive wine list covers all parts of the world.
