The Hawkley Inn
About
Nestled in the picturesque village of Hawkley, Hampshire, The Hawkley Inn is a celebrated real‑ale pub that combines sweeping South Downs views with a tradition of hearty, locally sourced food and award‑winning brews. With seven real ale taps, including house favourites such as Perridge by Flowerpots and Hawkley Good Ordinary by Greyhound, guests can taste the best of Hampshire and West Sussex craft beer. The inn also offers a cosy bed‑and‑breakfast accommodation—six tastefully appointed rooms, each with modern amenities and country‑view shutters—making it a perfect refuge after a day of walking or cycling in the South Downs National Park. The pub prides itself on a fresh, seasonal menu: from traditional Sunday roasts to inventive contemporary dishes and dog‑friendly options, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. In winter, the menu features game from local shoots; in summer, fresh seafood and local wines take centre stage. The Hawkley Inn is also famed for its generous “Dog Welcome” policy, a rare find for a traditional pub. Beyond food and drink, visitors can enjoy regular events such as weekly Steak Night, live music series and the forthcoming HAWKLEY INN MUSIC FESTIVAL. Whether you’re a local looking for a pint, a nature‑lover after a day on the downs, or a traveller searching for a unique accommodation experience, The Hawkley Inn offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
