The Half Moon Inn

The Half Moon in Plumpton is a beautiful two hundred year old traditional country pub nestled at the foot of the South Downs National Park, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, ten minutes from both the historic county town of Lewes and the charming village of Ditchling. A "quintessentially English pub" The Half Moon offers a menu that changes with the seasons and uses only the finest locally sourced produce. At the helm in the kitchens is award winning Chef Richard Willis, who has spent the past decade refining his skills in Sussex and brings with him an unrivalled knowledge of the best ingredients that the County can provide. The cellar is well stocked with the finest local beers from Harveys of Lewes to the local vicar's famous Rectory ales. There is also an extensive wine list of Old World and New World wines that has been chosen to compliment the menu. The Half Moon is also well equipped to cater for any wedding or event.

A group of 8 went to HUIS on Sunday. The food was excellent and you will not leave hungry. Service was really good, staff welcoming and friendly. Good selection of drinks.

My husband had the special, venison, yesterday at Sunday lunch at the Huis. It looked as pretty as a picture, but it definitely wasn’t style over substance! He confirmed it was delicious and could be on the menu in any Michelin restaurant. As always, great ambience, top notch service.

I won a prize meal for 2. I visit regularly and was thrilled that my name came out of the hat at last. The food was so wonderful. ( always is) but my duck with slow cooked cabbage in duck fat was absolutely fantastic... with a sauce to die for. I want to marry the chef! Can't praise their food and service highly enough.
