Pubs in the Sussex countryside and other ideas.
Fountain Inn Ashurst
The Fountain Inn Ashurst is a traditional homely Sussex pub, full of charm and character and is a must visit destination with an idyllic Sussex countryside setting.
Location – The Fountain Ashurst
Located just off the Steyning By-Pass (A283), off the old Horsham Road, the Fountain Inn is well worth a visit if you want to escape to the country – whether it’s for their great outdoor garden area for the summer, or for their cosy warm inglenook fireplaces on those colder days, the Fountain Inn has it all.
‘Oldy Worldy’ Sussex Charm
It doesn’t get more atmospheric than this, with its 16th Century archaic charm, blooming trellis archways and a countryside pond – a splendid example of a Sussex dining and drinking at its best, brought to you via owner Alex Tipping.
Imagine low beamed ceilings, a cosy cavern of rooms, solid farmhouse tables by the fire and wonky floorboards that have been part of the setting for many years and you will be on your way way there.
The Fountain Ashurst is definitely a wonderful venue to discover if you haven’t yet ventured to this part of Sussex.
Home Cooked Local Produce
Whether for more of an informal restaurant setting or for a spot by one of their incredible fires, here you can expect friendly rustic banter and the waft of home cooked food drifting from the kitchen.
Sample dishes include a daily changing specials board, steak-frites, fish and chips, sharing platters, hand made Sussex burgers and much more..
The kitchen team prepare all their dishes for their menu from fresh and local ingredients wherever possible.
Real Ales & World Wines
The Fountain Inn are ‘Cask Marque‘ accredited and offer a selection of real ales, showcasing national names that you may recognise and some more local ones that you may not!
Their carefully chosen wine list features a range of new and old world wines.
Private Events at the Fountain Inn
The Fountain Inn is also a unique venue for parties, celebrations and weddings as it has a spacious skittles alley room which is adjacent to their pond. Enquire directly for further information about group bookings and nearby lodgings if required.

Visited The Foiuntain Inn in Ashurst last summer for a beautiful wedding. Had an amazing time with family and friends and the venue was stunningly decorated with a relaxed atmosphere. 🙂
Best country pub by a mile! So Sussex, old worldly. Relaxed vibes!
