Where to Eat Out
Here I recommend two local pubs and one London based restaurant that serve great food!
The Hurstwood is the local village pub. It is a 15 min walk from Stonehouse down a green lane (it can be a bit muddy, boots recommended!) or 25 mins round the long (but dry!) way.
The owners Martin & Lenka are lovely, the ambiance is warm and welcoming and the food is excellent, definitely a cut above good pub food!
Tip: book in advance!

I confess to a vested interest! I'm lucky enough to be involved with this fantastic Latin American restaurant which opened in 2017.
Thanks to the creative and talented team Paladar has established its self as a firm favourite for foodies; with guests travelling from all corners of London to eat at Paladar.
Critics have praised the exciting food dishes; authentic and original cocktails; well curated and exclusively Latin American, Wine List; and the great service & welcoming ambiance.
Unfortunately Stonehouse is a little too far away for guests to be able to stay at Stonehouse and dine at Paladar but do try the next time you are in London.

Great food and, in the summer, a great garden with a view over "the Sussex Serengeti"!

I love visiting the great gardens of Kent & Sussex.
At Pashley Manor (which is privately owned and not part of the National Trust juggernaut!) they serve lovely home cooked food which, on a fine day you may eat on the terrace, with the gardens arrayed before you.
