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.

This place is a firm favourite of ours and never fails to be delicious and filling and imaginative with the menu choices.

Date chosen as half way between mine and a friends respective birthdays. I arrived 6.35 for our 7pm booking and the place was already bursting at the seams and the atmosphere vivid. As a special treat ordered the steak, oh my goodness. Superb doesn't do it justice. Afterwards to help with bookings our party moved to the games area and made a house ofmout Lego that Grand Designs would have been proud of.

Really tasty and great beers!

We're local so have been to HUIS a few times now but it's always a treat whenever we come back. Excellent food, great portions & the service was delivered with a smile. The beer choices are wide. It's a small but perfectly formed restaurant.
