Fizz in the Forest
In partnership with Nyetimber, our new summer pop-up is officially open for the 2026 season. Nyetimber's Classic Cuvee and Rose is available by the glass (although if you ask us, the bottle is always the better choice), and is served with breath taking views of the Ashdown Forest. Join us on the new terrace area, and raise a glass to a Sparkling English Summer.
