Local walks with good boozers

[CHAPPERS]

Got tomorrow off and am looking for a decent length country walk (7-8 miles) with a pub to stop at for lunch. Anyone got any bright ideas?

 

[sam86]

A stroll up to the Dyke? Not very original, I know.

 

[Mellotron]

Alfriston + Seven Sisters?

 

[Mendoza]

Get down to The Shepherd and Dog in Fulking. Only problem is you have to walk back up hill

Otherwise a walk to Ditchling and The Bull, or Glynde and the Trevor Arms

 

[Seagull's Return]

What about walking down the river from Lewes to Southease, turning eastwards up onto the Downs for a mile or so, then cutting across to Glynde and the Trevor Arms? You can get back to Lewes on foot over Caburn or by train. Pleasant walk in good weather.

Hassocks to Lewes. Walk up to the windmills and along the top, finish in Lewes for pub grub and pints of Sussex's finest. About 9miles I think.

 

[Evil Edna]

Bramber or Stenning was good for walks when I lived that way.

[Mellotron]

Walk here.

Then pub here.

The best one used to be the tiger at east dean but I believe it's closed down. I'd suggest walking over mount caburn from lewes to the Trevor arms or along the top of firle beacon and down to the cricketers at Berwick. All the pubs closet to Brighton (full moon at plumpton, royal oak at poynings, dog and shepherd at fulking) are now an utter rip off! The dog and shepherd is the least ripoffish of the three, but it's stop £7 for an exceptionally small cheese baguette, though they do have dark star and Harveys.

the tiger has just been re opened under new management. food has always been good in there but dear and a bit up itself. murder to get a table too. if you are that way the 8 bells is far better, much more room, less pricey and not as full of complete c unts.

...and as you didn't say where, I'd also recommend a hike over blencathra then a meal at the horse and farrier in Threlkeld with a lovely pint of Jennings snecklifter.

I went about a year ago and it was about a fiiver for the nicest ploughmans I've ever had!

Take sandwiches - sandwiches never taste as sublime as when you stop off on a long walk and scoff them down.

I am thinking about this, plus it's way cheaper. I might just drive out to Cuckmere way and decide on a walk when I get there.

fair one. i have paid 15-17 quid for a main on many occasions though. not being tight its just a piss take for a pub lunch in anyones book.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Ate at the Shepherd & Dog in Jan and it really was a disappointment. Food took a long time (on a not too crowded week day) and was seriously average. Really felt like we'd been done. Not one I'd walk to. I hear that the Royal Oak has come up a bit over the years (access from the bottom end of the Dyke).

Plus you get the satisfaction of marvelling at your own sandwich making technique, whilst enjoying a good view!

 

[The Large One]

Get the train to Eastbourne and take the coastal path to Seaford before getting the train home. Or vice versa.
