Under the stewardship of Landlord “Blue” for nearly three decades, the Basketmakers Arms has cultivated a unique atmosphere that keeps people coming back time and again.

Friendly and attentive staff, 8 real ales on tap, quick service, excellent menu (food – locally sourced – seemingly served all day) and a chatty and quirky atmosphere make the Basketmakers Arms the perfect pub.

The bar itself is U-shaped with 2 linked areas to drink and dine with comfortable benches and stools at round tables. The walls are adorned with tobacco tins, enamel signs and photographs.

It’s great to sit in this atmospheric, award-winning local and have a few pints whilst chatting or catching up on the papers. The food is excellent, plentiful and reasonably priced also.

The Basketmakers Arms serves up a menu of homemade delights crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Whether it’s the succulent meats from nearby Brighton butchers or the freshly caught seafood procured from local fishermen, every dish is a celebration of the region’s rich gastronomic heritage.
