Dining
The Swan Inn
Village pubs don’t come much more inviting than this, an immaculate 14th-century inn offering layer upon layer of charm. First there’s the bucolic setting, a small village nestled among the natural beauty of the South Downs; enter inside and you’re greeted not just by the friendly team but the even friendlier pub dog. Once seated in the gorgeously refurbished interior, the high-quality cooking duly completes the package. Expect hearty, traditional British dishes bursting with flavour, like devilled kidneys on toast followed by a Barnsley chop.
WebsiteChalk
Oak beams and brick walls abound in this former barn on the Wiston Estate winery, that now houses a smart restaurant. It’s named after the type of soil found in the area, which creates ideal growing conditions for the grapes and, as you would expect, you can accompany your meal with one of their own sparkling wines. The short, appealing menu changes with the seasons and offers fresh, straightforward flavours in harmonious combinations. Their generously sized house focaccia is a great way to start.
WebsiteThe Parsons Table
This cosy little restaurant is named after its owners – an experienced husband and wife team who run it with passion and pride – and it’s clearly a hit with the locals. Confidently prepared, flavoursome dishes are founded on the classics and have a subtle modern style and an honest feel.
