THE PIG - in the South Downs

THE PIG-in the South Downs is set within the small hamlet of Madehurst, high up on the South Downs, just 48 miles from London and 4 miles away from the beautiful, ancient market town of Arundel. This unspoilt corner of West Sussex is within the South Downs National Park and is made up of open rolling hills, chalky downlands and scattered rural villages, but is also just 20 minutes away from over 50 miles of coastline where you can explore charming nostalgic seaside towns.

This Restaurant with Rooms is made up of a Regency main house with a traditional greenhouse restaurant, and rooms spread out between a higgledy piggledy collection of traditional brick, flint and timber clad Sussex stable yard buildings.

The mature walled Kitchen Garden is almost 2 acres, including an orchard of old English apple trees, fruit cages and espaliers that are over 50 years old, as well as two existing Victorian glasshouses that are the walkway to its Potting Shed Treatment Rooms.

In a first for THE PIG, 4000 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier have been planted to create it’s very own small but perfectly formed Sussex vineyard that will be in full view of the restaurant – they are hoping for our first harvest in 2022.
