Toasty indoors with the backdrop of the South Downs outdoors
Think toasty fireplaces, low beamed ceilings and a wooden rustic panelled interior – then combine this with a backdrop of the South Downs with ebbing stream running through the spacious family garden with acres of space for all to enjoy. The pub can trace its history back to the 18th Century and retains the ramshackle charm of the original cottages that made up the building in years gone by.

From the outside it looks like the quintessential country pub, with an amazing setting and surrounded by beautiful spots for a walk. Inside there is a superb selection of real ales, craft beers and spirits, not to forget the delicious food. Few better spots for a Sunday roast in the local area
The Shepherd & Dog has one of the best beer gardens with beautiful views. I love going for a Sunday Roast in the summer and eating outside, sometimes they have live music playing.
A Sunday tip – book in for a roast at the Shepherd and Dog, park the car at Devil’s Dyke and amble the half hour down the hill to the pub! Only issue is getting back up with a full tum! Great locally sourced meat and vegetables.
Our favourite place for a walk on the Downs and the best Sunday roast in Sussex!! Have also had fantastic steak dinners and a brilliant NYE murder mystery night here. Always great food and lovely staff and atmosphere.
