Black Pig

This charming 16th-century timbered-framed and white-walled country pub is situated in Barnsole, on the outskirts of Staple. Inside the rambling nature of the pub offers a variety of places to sit and have a drink or a meal. From the hop-festooned main bar to the light and airy restaurant or the private dining room, capable of seating around 10 people. There's also a large function room which can be booked for special occasions. Alongside the Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter there are three changing ales, featuring one ale from the north, one from the south and a seasonal/topical ale. A Kent ale is usually included in the line-up. A varied menu of home-made food, using locally sourced ingredients is available along with a Specials menu and selection of pies. Events include a monthly quiz and the popular Breakfast Club. At the front there is a small patio area, while at the back there is a large enclosed garden, popular in summer in which the Kentish game of Bat & Trap is played. Bed & Breakfast is available with five en-suite rooms.
