Our July walk was a lovely 5 miles from the Hamilton Arms near Stedham. A walk of quaint bridges, idyllic villages, riverside shade and meadows of wild flowers. Into Stedham we went where we followed the River Rother towards the mill. Here we veered northwards as far as Tote Hill before following the New Lipchis Way along a tributary towards Iping where we rejoined the River Rother. Then back into Stedham and an appalling pint of 44 Brew at the Hamilton Arms that had the loveliest looking Thai buffet. We enjoyed one of the best beer gardens in Sussex. It just needed a decent beer to go with it.

Thank you to all who came along and I look forward to the August walk with you all. The date for this is Sunday the 9th.

The place to watch the World Cup

⚽🍻 THE WORLD CUP IS HERE! 🍻⚽

Looking for the perfect place to catch the action? We’ll be showing as many FIFA World Cup 2026 matches as possible during our opening hours, with TVs both upstairs and downstairs so you won’t miss a moment of the drama.

For the biggest games, we’ve got a bit of flexibility too — if there’s enough demand, we’ll do our best to make sure you can cheer on your team with us!

Whether you’re celebrating a winner, commiserating a last-minute heartbreak, or shouting at the referee from the comfort of your bar stool, we’ve got the atmosphere and the beers to match. We’ve got plenty of cracking craft beers lined up to wet your whistle… and maybe the referee’s whistle too! 🍺😉

Round up your mates, grab a pint, and join us for football’s biggest tournament.

It was a very enjoyable Spring walk today from Slindon taking in bluebells (Nore Wood) and lots of lambs in the fields between Gumber Farm and Slindon.

We finished with a pint at the fabulous George at Eartham.

Our March walk was a very pleasant 5 35 miles from the Old House At Home, Chidham which took us out to the edge of Chichester Harbour and then around to the other side via Cobnor Point. A pint of TEA was the prize for me at the end.

Next walk Sunday April 12th.

Five torturous miles today but we had a good turnout. In a masochistic way it was very enjoyable.
