The Gardeners Arms Pub

A cosy pub restaurant on the edge of rolling Sussex countryside

Situated in the heart of the South Downs, opposite the north gate of the South of England showground, the Gardeners Arms is a traditional and homely pub restaurant.  

Dating back to the 17th Century, the pub is cosy in the winter, with roaring log fires and traditional oak beams and glorious in the summer, with a beautiful garden; we even have deer visit occasionally and our own grape vines!

Indeed, the three dimensional Inn sign at the pub recreates the symbol of the Order of Free Gardeners, a masonic group (now extinct) dedicated to sharing the secrets of gardening.

With a focus on great food and hospitality and dog friendly, as any great pub should be, the Gardeners Arms really is a home from home.

Following Government approval and clear operating guidelines, we’re delighted to be able to welcome you soon!

We just need a little more time to make the necessary changes to keep you and our team safe and ensure we can consistently deliver the very highest levels of hospitality.

Our reopening date is Thursday 16th July and you’ll need to book in advance, either online or via the phone, for all food and drink visits. For a limited time we will be operating 6 days a week, 11am to 11pm Tuesday to Saturday and 12 noon to 6pm on Sundays. Our food service times will be 12 noon to 9.00pm Tuesday to Saturday and 12 noon to 4.00pm on Sundays. 

We’re also making some changes to keep you safe. For more details of what to expect when you visit, please click here.
