The Thatched Inn

About

The Thatched Inn is a quintessential Sussex pub tucked in the heart of Hassocks, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both homely and lively. Built on simple principles of good food and good company, the pub serves a seasonal menu that blends classic pub favourites with contemporary twists – from hearty smashed burgers and slow‑braised roasts to fresh, seasonal plates created with local produce. Regular specials such as "Pie Tuesday" and "Steak Night" add a touch of excitement to a new week, while the Sunday menu features generous portions of roast meats, fish and chips and a range of desserts. Watercooler‑style beer and wine lists pair nicely with each dish, and the bar offers an extensive selection of local ales, bottled wines, spirits and spritzers. The Pub excels in creating a welcoming environment for groups: private seating is available in The Den, and the staff are eager to accommodate office lunches, family Sundays, and festive gatherings. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch, a mid‑week supper, or a cozy pub night under the stars, The Thatched Inn delivers comforting, honest cooking with generous portions, excellent service and a friendly atmosphere that exemplifies the best of local British pub culture.
