The Eight Bells Country Pub and Kitchen offers a quintessential English pub experience in the scenic setting of Hawkhurst. This traditional establishment prides itself on serving a wide selection of local real ales, including offerings from Lakedown Brewing Co and Harvey’s of Sussex, as well as a variety of delicious wines and spirits. The pub emphasises fresh, locally sourced ingredients for its meals, with the exception of its homemade ice cream which proudly remains the only frozen item on the menu.
Owned by Over The Eight Pub Group, The Eight Bells boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, housed within an 18th-century building. Weather permitting, guests can enjoy the beautiful beer garden, complete with a large undercover pergola, perfect for relaxing outdoors.
The pub is conveniently located near several local attractions and provides a cosy dining experience in its main Dining Room. Additional seating is available in the Fish Room and the dog-friendly Moor Bar. The Eight Bells is open from Wednesday to Saturday until 11pm, and until 10pm on Sundays.
