Hatch

Quaint and appealing little weatherboarded pub dating from 1430 on the edge of Ashdown Forest; big log fire in quickly filling beamed bar, small back dining room with another fire, popular freshly made food (not Sun evening) from varied menu, well kept Harveys, Larkins and one or two guests, friendly staff and good mix of customers including families and dogs; picnic-sets on front terrace and in beautifully kept big garden, not much parking so get there early, open all day weekends.
