Ginger Fox
Situated on the edge of the woods, this long-standing thatched pub is full of character and you can't help but be carried away by the team's cheerful energy. It's run by the Gingerman Group, primarily based in Brighton, with this acting as their country outpost hidden away in the South Downs. Pubby favourites like Welsh rarebit or prawns with Marie Rose sauce are all present and correct, as are dishes with a little more flair; whatever you choose, the kitchen will lavish the same care upon it. The wine list includes some locally grown options.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews
Ginger Fox offers modern British cuisine with mixed reviews. Food quality is polarized; while goat cheese mousse, beef fillet, Sunday roasts, and hake are praised for taste and presentation, others report overcooked burgers or lukewarm meals. Service is generally commended as friendly, professional, and attentive to allergies, though delays can occur. Ambiance varies: the garden is pleasant, but outdoor seating is uncomfortable, and indoor temperatures are sometimes cited as too cold. Value is debated; some find it reasonable, while others consider mains, desserts, and wine portions overpriced relative to cost.
Suitable for families seeking traditional Sunday roasts and attentive service, but verify indoor temperature and wine options beforehand.
