Horse and Groom

Set in the heart of idyllic Rushlake Green, we offer fine dining, with an excellent menu, in the traditional surroundings of an English pub. Our food is homemade and we use locally sourced ingredients such as Heathfield Park venison, duck and rabbit; Seaford Lobster and Hastings Crab. And while we pride ourselves on our menu and restaurant, we are still a village pub at heart - as we have been for over 230 years – where a welcome is given to all, including dog owners. You can find us in the Michelin Pub Guide and the Which Guide of Country Pubs. Contact Fiona Airey: 01435 830320./ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
