But its a pub too! Good food and ambience. 'Doggie pubs says' An award winning pub. Cosy and friendly - a really great find. Pub dog Widget is a fluffy poodle. For dedicated pubbers you can even walk to another doggy destination, The Horse & Groom in Rushlake Green (run by the publican's sister). Take the first right off the B2096 after leaving the A265 just after Heathfield.
