This is a good local pub with good quality local faire. Yes it's a bit overpriced but this is a desirable area which commands high property values and therefore you should expect slightly higher prices.

We stayed for a single night while at a family wedding. The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable with lovely antique furniture, our room could have done with a lick of paint, but nothing horrendous, if anything it added to its charm. Breakfast the following morning was excellent and all the way through the staff were courteous, friendly and... More

I am a local and have eaten at the bull many times. The menu is limited and very overpriced. Unfortunately they also seem to insist on serving small portions as though they are some kind of gastro pub. I would recommend the royal oak in poynings as far superior in all counts any day.

We came here for Sunday lunch after a 6 mile walk across the downs from Lewes (walk is recommended!). It is fairly informal - they don't take bookings which was a bit of a worry on the first sunny Sunday ever but it is really quite a large pub and we easily found a good table and seated ourselves.

A nice pub that has been fully gastro pub bed inside. It has a varied menu with some good sandwich choices as well as roasts and vegetarian options. The chips, with a choice of jenga or skinny, are great. Staff are friendly and service is prompt. Presentation is good. It's a little overpriced for what you get... Definitely charging at... More

Popped here on the off chance of lunch. It was 4.30pm so didn't think we'd get food on a Sunday but were very pleasantly surprised. Bar staff were friendly and very efficient as were the waiting staff. The Sunday roasts were superb, I had the roast pork belly which was superb. Both meat and veg were beautifully cooked and didn't... More

The Bull at Ditchling was as near perfect as is possible. For a start Ditchling is probably one of the finest villages in Sussex in which to be based. I decided to take my parents away for a break and I don’t think it could have been more perfect. The staff was all incredibly friendly and attentive. On arrival we... More

we booked in for a night in a country pub but we were not made aware of the live music that was progammed directly below our room, no advertised finish time on the web and told by the waitress that it would be over by 10:30pm but no such luck. not a good business model to sell rooms that you...

We have been here many times after days out in East Sussex, and stopped fopr food & drinks on our way home. The food is ok, nothing too special & a bit over priced. The beers are good, they have Harveys & a good choice of wines by the glass. We have sat outside on many a Summer early evening,... More
