The Coach and Horses
About
The Coach & Horses is a quintessential family‑run free house nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside. With its cosy timbered interior, rolling garden views, and a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere, it invites locals and visitors alike to unwind over a hearty meal or a pint of real ale. The menu bursts with fresh, locally sourced produce that changes with the seasons—think roast turkey, glazed ham, and an array of vegetarian and gluten‑free options—paired with a carefully curated selection of Harveys of Sussex, Long Man, Larkins, and the award‑winning North Sea sparkling wines. Brewery‑sourced real ales take centre stage, giving the pub a robust, country‑house feel that complements its comfortable seating, live acoustic music Fridays, and a warm, friendly service that has earned it a reputation as one of Sussex’s most beloved pubs.
