Although normally closed on Mondays, it is open on bank holidays, with food service from noon until 16:00. On other days, last orders for food are taken up to 15 minutes before closing.

Formerly named the ‘Rainbow Trout’, this village pub remained empty for three years until the current owners reopened it following a complete refurbishment in early 2020. The name reverted to ‘The Broad Oak’, (its original title), and now offers three or four real ales (usually locally sourced), together with an extensive food menu (including a take away fish & chip service on Friday evenings).

The garden has scenic views and a children’s play area. The pub can be reached by several bus routes with different stops as the pub is near a crossroads, (none are more than 200 metres away), and also has ample parking.

Information for this venue is provided by the South East Sussex Branch of CAMRA
