Cat Inn

About

The Cat Inn is a 16th‑century pub located in the picturesque village of West Hoathly, West Sussex. The historic inn boasts a cosy, rustic atmosphere, offering a menu of freshly prepared pub food using locally sourced ingredients and a wide‑ranging wine list that features both local Sussex selections and fine imported vintages. Guests can enjoy a hearty full English breakfast or a continental breakfast in the early hours, and the seasonal menu offers a variety of starters, mains, sides and desserts ranging from colourful salads, fish & chips, roast lamb to steak pork belly and roasted preparations. The pub opens its doors for lunch and dinner daily, with the bar open from 12 pm to 7 pm on Sundays, and from 5 pm‑8 pm on Tuesdays, extending into the early evening on other days. Reservations are recommended for dinner or larger parties, though the pub is open to walk‑ins most nights and offers a cosy outdoor seating area, a small bar stocked with local ales and a cellar that showcases Sussex and international vintages.
