The Bridge Inn

About

The Bridge Inn sits on the picturesque banks of the River Arun, tucked into the heart of the South Downs. Owned and managed by the family of Natasha and Dave Challis, the inn offers a warm, welcoming country‑pub atmosphere complete with a cosy indoor fire pit, an airy garden and patio for summer evenings, free Wi‑Fi, and ample parking. Food and drink are central to the experience. A menu of home‑cooked dishes – from hearty Sunday roasts to a children’s menu – is complemented by real ales, fine wines, and a selection of gluten‑free and vegetarian options. Seasonal menus – such as the special Christmas and New Year offerings – showcase fresh, local ingredients, while the weekend food service runs from midday until the early evening. The Bridge Inn also buzzes with live music and seasonal events, from a Sloe Gin and Chutney evening to live folk nights on selected Sundays. Its bar is dog‑friendly, and the friendly staff make it an inviting spot for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to enjoy good food, great ales, and the stunning river views.
