The Ram Inn

The Ram Inn 16th century coaching inn set at the foot of the South Downs. Serving food cooked with fresh local ingredients and known for its wine selection and real ales
(505)

The Ram Inn has been at the heart of a vibrant farming community for over five hundred years. A wonderful village local, set in Firle, at the foot of the Downs and in the South Downs National Park. The rambling old building has three main bar areas, each with its own open fire lit every day between October and April. At the bar you will find artists, walkers, writers, farmers, farriers and vicars,

and the garden is usually full of families and children of all ages. Now known for really good local food as well as locally produced cask ales, we also have four beautiful bedrooms and offer bed & breakfast all year round.

The forecast might be looking typically British, but we’ve got plenty of cosy corners inside and umbrellas in the garden for anyone feeling brave

We’re open as usual this bank holiday weekend, 9am-11pm every day for breakfast, lunch & dinner so pop down and celebrate the end of a brilliant summer here in Firle 🐏

Tucked away under the eaves, Birdcage is one of our favourite rooms.

Spend a slow morning soaking in the roll-top bath, wander through the unspoilt English countryside, then return for a pint in the garden and dinner celebrating the very best local produce.

Still thinking about how best to treat your mum this Mother’s Day? We’ve got you covered

Join us on Sunday 15th March for a two or three course set menu, featuring our famous roast dinners alongside some beautiful new dishes for spring 🌿

With a little hopeful thinking for the English weather, we’ll also be serving a more casual à la carte menu outside. This will be first come, first served and we won’t be taking bookings for outside, so if the sun makes an appearance, how about a walk around Firle followed by an al fresco lunch on the Ram Inn Beach

Or why not make a weekend of it? We have our last three rooms available, so slow down and enjoy a little extra time together in the heart of the village.

Send us a DM for our Mother’s Day menu or head to our website to book, we can’t wait to see you all there!
