Located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, this 18th-century flint and brick country pub exudes all the charm of its rural setting. Whether you’re stopping in the area – perhaps staying at the pub itself – or just passing by, the Star & Garter is a welcome pit stop for a drink and a good plate of food.

The pub is located in the centre of the village. Views from the front stretch across the village to glorious views of grazing cattle on the downs and you can spot the village pond on the village green as well as the hills. There are plentiful routes to go walking, a word from the wise; you must be able to cope with the constant inclines, as you can’t go a mile from here without walking up a hill! The local landscape offers beautiful viewing spots from Court Hill where from you can see the old Celtic field systems. There is a vast cross-section of wildlife here, deer, pheasants, partridges, badgers as well too many rabbits! We’re especially lucky to be haven for Red Kites. The building’s history is intertwined with that of the landscape, it’s built from classic Sussex flint and many of the Oak features inside are from trees felled in the local area 300 hundred years ago. Even the wood that fuels are fires is from the Goodwood estate supplied by a neighbour! The interiors are as bright and welcoming as the staff, with plenty of exposed brickwork, wooden floors and tables and a range of seating. There’s also outdoor seating for the warmer months, complete with spectacular vie...
