The Jolly Sportsman
We have a daily delivery of fresh fish caught off the Sussex coast, and all our meat is sourced from local butchers and farms. We bake our own bread daily, and our pastry chef also makes some wonderfully comforting desserts. We have a stunning garden to dine in during the spring and summer, and cosy indoor dining with two fires for the colder months.
The Jolly Sportsman is located in some of the most beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of lovely walks in the area. The two walks below are probably more for the keenest of walkers, but if you just want to park up, take a brief stroll and work up an appetite just ask us and we can point you in the right direction.

We stayed here because a friend of mine stayed in Jume. Obviously there must have been changes as we found dead flies on the window seal. Cobwebs that were dusty themselves and the room had dust everywhere! We decided to eat elsewhere didn’t want to chance it

We love the Jolly Sportman and have been going there for 15 years so know it well. We’ve seen it change hands a couple of times and it’s clear the pub and it’s customers are now being looked after again. Phew!

Threatened with a head kicking and destruction of car We visit the JS today for dinner. Steak was blue when a medium-welldone was asked for. On referring this to staff, there was no concern, On receipt of bill I asked for the steak be be deducted. The manager then came to see us and refused. I offered to pay the bill of £130 (dinner for 2) but declined to pay for the steak. The 'manager' a man in his mid 30s, balding and slim with blue denim shirt then called the police. I accepted this. The police were not that interested, so he then said he would 'kick my head in and destroy my car'. This has been reported to the police as a threat of violence and they will be investigating. What a shame that such a lovely setting is destroyed by threats of violence

It was one of the first recommendations of pub dining when we moved to the area 5 years ago and it remains so to this day - you have a winning formula, we wish you success to continue

Great standard of food, presentation and service. Lovely atmosphere except that the restaurant area was cold and I had to keep my jacket on. Otherwise can’t recommend it enough.
