🍻 WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN FOR THE SECOND YEAR RUNNING! 🍻
We are incredibly proud to share that The Stag Inn has once again been recognised by The Telegraph as one of The Best Pubs in the UK 2026.
To be included for a second consecutive year is a tremendous honour and something we never take for granted.
When we took over The Stag in 2019, our aim was simple: to create a traditional country pub where everyone feels welcome, serving great food, well-kept beer and offering genuine hospitality.
To receive national recognition for the second year running tells us we're on the right path.
This achievement belongs to so many people:
🍺 Our amazing team, who work tirelessly every day.
🍽️ Our loyal customers and local community, who continue to support us.
🚶 Our visitors from near and far who choose to spend time with us.
We are especially grateful to The Telegraph for recognising what makes The Stag so special, describing it as a "rustic throwback in a West Sussex hamlet" and highlighting the history and character that make this pub unique.
Running a small village pub isn't always easy, but moments like this make every early morning, every late night, and every busy service worthwhile.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your continued support.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Phil, Anne-Marie & The Stag Team
