Biscuits behind the bar, and a footpath at the door. The biscuit comes first.

Bonnie

The South Downs Way is just outside. I'll walk it, then lie across the middle of the floor so everyone steps over me.

The pawrents

Rodmell's village pub, with the South Downs Way and the Ouse Valley Way close by and a lovely garden behind. Family and dog friendly, and the Sunday roast is worth booking. Monk's House is a few steps away.

  2. A directory · undated

    The Rodmell village website calls it a family and dog friendly pub; it mentions a change of licensee in September 2022.

  3. A directory · Dec 2025

    The listing answers yes to allowing dogs; a December 2025 review complains about a barking dog at a nearby table, which suggests dogs are allowed in the dining area.
