The Swan Inn

Traditional British

££

Village pubs don’t come much more inviting than this, an immaculate 14th-century inn offering layer upon layer of charm. First there’s the bucolic setting, a small village nestled among the natural beauty of the South Downs; enter inside and you’re greeted not just by the friendly team but the even friendlier pub dog. Once seated in the gorgeously refurbished interior, the high-quality cooking duly completes the package. Expect hearty, traditional British dishes bursting with flavour, like devilled kidneys on toast followed by a Barnsley chop.

The Parsons Table

Modern British

£££

This cosy little restaurant is named after its owners – an experienced husband and wife team who run it with passion and pride – and it’s clearly a hit with the locals. Confidently prepared, flavoursome dishes are founded on the classics and have a subtle modern style and an honest feel.

Chalk

Modern Cuisine

££

Oak beams and brick walls abound in this former barn on the Wiston Estate winery, that now houses a smart restaurant. It’s named after the type of soil found in the area, which creates ideal growing conditions for the grapes and, as you would expect, you can accompany your meal with one of their own sparkling wines. The short, appealing menu changes with the seasons and offers fresh, straightforward flavours in harmonious combinations. Their generously sized house focaccia is a great way to start.

Knepp Wilding Kitchen

Traditional British

££

The Knepp Estate is such a special place; from a dog walk around the gorgeous natural grounds to browsing produce in the farm shop, you could easily spend most of your day here. At the heart of it all is an ethos of rewilding, something which drives the menus at its restaurant housed inside an 18th-century barn. Here, the cooking is overtly seasonal and often uses ingredients from the Estate; try to kick off your meal with one of the fine flatbreads and punchy wild garlic butter. They are mostly open just for lunch, with some BBQ evenings in the summer.
