The Shepherd & Dog has maintained all the traditions you would expect in a country pub but with an unrivalled view in an outstanding setting at the bottom of Devils Dyke. The fabulous Sunday Roast is on offer from noon, serving all the way to the last booking at 5.30PM. Locally sourced, seasonal food menus showcasing the best of the local area. We have received BRAVO restaurant awards in the top pubs category, year after year.
All craft beers are local, exclusive or unusual in some way - no run of the mill here!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

    A great Sunday lunchtime experience. All the bar and waiting staff were friendly, helpful and polite. We had the roast beef and roast lamb which were perfectly cooked, melt in the mouth. Accompanying veggies all tasty and a generous portion too. Look forward to coming back again.

    Took 40 minutes for drinks to arrive from arriving. Food was great. The restaurant was too cold and would have been good to have a fire on.

    The venue was busy and very noisy. The roast lamb was bit chewy. Icecream was lovely. Staff friendly.

    Haven't eaten here for some time indoors, we usually visit while out walking in the summer when it gets very busy. It was a shame to see it so quiet on a Saturday night, one of the few places where you get a good choice of craft and local beers and ales. The menu is quite small, but the quality of every item we ordered was very good and a pleasant change from the mass produced stuff sold in many pubs. Excellent, would thoroughly recommend on this basis

    Excellent food, attentive and friendly service and huge range of draught beers, ales and ciders. A great restaurant masquerading as a great pub.
