A
TRADITIONAL SUSSEX COUNTRY PUB
There
is nothing better than a Sussex pub, and, certainly, there is nothing
more cosy and inviting than a rambling wooden oasis, with eccentric
little hidey holes and a huge garden so you can lose your kids in it.
The Ram Inn at Firle has all these ingredients and more. This
interesting old house, once the law courts complete with a holding cell
in the basement, is under new management. The pub has been
refitted in traditional style and now boasts a superb new menu to tempt
your taste buds with generous portions at reasonable prices.
Sitting
on a quiet tree lined lane in the tranquil backwater of Firle, The
Ram Inn is an attractive, unspoilt country pub that remains
relatively unchanged since it was built in the 16th century.
There is a main bar, a quiet non-smoking snug area and a large family
room provided with games, toys and high chairs. In the summer, food and
drink can be enjoyed in the delightful sheltered gardens, where there is
a children's play area and a separate hidden garden, ideal for quiet
dining. In winter months the log fires in the bar and snug create a warm
and friendly atmosphere.

The
Ram Inn - Firle, Sussex
The
proprietors Shaun and Hayley invite you to sample the delights of the
Sussex countryside. The Ram Inn is not far from the famous
Glyndebourne Opera House near Lewes.
The
Ram serves traditional pub food prepared to an exceptionally high
standard every day, from midday until 9pm, with a scrumptious Sussex
cream tea available from 3pm until 5.30pm. As well as the delicious,
wide-ranging menu, there is also a special children's menu and tins of
babyfood available, with all the facilities you may need for heating up
bottles and food. The bar stocks three real ales, including Harveys, and
a traditional hand-pulled cider. Guinness and Budweiser are also
available. There is a large range of soft drink and a selection of
children's drinks too.

Mountainboarding started here about 10 years ago and
came over from the states. Looking like large
skateboards but using pneumatic tyres, riders come
down specially designed tracks and forest paths of
different lengths and skill levels, much like a ski
piste. We have been open for 6 years and have seen the
sport grow considerably since we first opened. It's a
fantastic way to get out in the downs and enjoy the
fantastic surroundings of our beautiful countryside.
