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 16^th 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.
