THE JOLLY TANNERS

A key part of Staplefield’s history, the Jolly Tanners was built in 1684 as a coaching inn, offering a stop for travellers on the 7-hour journey from London to Brighton.

Today, we continue that warm hospitality with Sussex ales, local wines, and locally sourced food.

Over the past year, we’ve renovated, adding a bright orangery and a more accessible bar, while preserving the original lounge’s cosy fireplaces and exposed beams. The revamped garden now has a family-friendly area, and our stretch tent provides year-round outdoor comfort.
