Charming 16th-century traditional, timbered country pub
Branch Winter Pub of the Season 2023/2024
This charming 16th-century timbered-framed and white-walled country pub is situated in Barnsole, on the outskirts of Staple.
Inside the rambling nature of the pub offers a variety of places to sit and have a drink or a meal. From the hop-festooned main bar to the light and airy restaurant or the private dining room, capable of seating around 10 people.
In what was once the pub's function room, a village shop has been setup selling the day-to-day essentials.
Alongside the Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter there is a guest ale.
A varied menu of home-made food, using locally sourced ingredients is available along with a Specials menu and selection of pies.
Occasional events include live music and a pubs quiz.
At the front there is a small patio area, while at the back there is a large enclosed garden, popular in summer in which the Kentish game of Bat & Trap is played.
Bed & Breakfast is available with five en-suite rooms.Historic England Entry: 1025843
