RB loves
A proper country pub with a working farm just behind it. The Sussex Ox serves generous, seasonal food with ingredients that come straight from its own land or trusted local producers. With a big garden for summer, open fires for winter, and a laid-back atmosphere year-round, it’s a great Sussex stop-off for walkers, families, and anyone who likes a pint with a view.
What’s on the menu
Expect pub classics done properly – steaks dry-aged on site, rich pies, fresh coastal fish, and plenty of vegetarian and plant-forward options. You can pop in for a pint and a pork pie or take your time over a full three-course supper. Menus change with the seasons and the drinks list includes local ales, cocktails, and wines worth browsing.
Good to know
The Sussex Ox runs its own 100-acre farm, using regenerative, low-impact methods to raise pedigree Sussex cattle, South Downs lamb, and seasonal fruit and veg. Inside, there are plenty of cosy corners and a proper bar. Outside, one of the biggest pub gardens in Sussex gives you space to breathe – and room for the kids to run around. There are also private dining options for group celebrations or just a good knees-up with friends.

Getting There
Our favourite Sussex pub bar none. fantastic food, incredible location and mesmerising views from the terrace. always warm and friendly staff, impeccable service. produce invariably fresh, mostly sourced from own farm and always with a creative twist. Suited to all occasions from a quiet dinner for two to friends getting together over a leisurely lunch. highly recommend.
Everyone needs to visit this place! Diverse and delicious menu featuring local produce from their own farm and kitchen garden. Great vibe on a Saturday evening which is when we visited. Drinks list has something for everyone, from signature cocktails, organic wine and local craft brews. I’ve booked to go next Sunday for a roast, CAN’T WAIT.
Gorgeous pub! Lovely varied menu and the beer selection was great. The beer garden is fantastic with amazing views! Definitely worth the journey.
