“Traditional & cosy country pub with great food & real ales”
The Countryman is surrounded by stunning open countryside set close to the small village of Shipley, the 3,500 acres of farmland owned by the Knepp Castle Estate provides the perfect backdrop for a pub lunch in the beer garden or an evening in front of the fireplace.
Inside you’ll find warming log fires in the winter, and cask conditioned Harvey’s and Organic Horsham ales in the cosy bar, together with over 30 wines from around the world.
Here at the countryman we pride ourselves on producing traditional country pub fayre. We use fresh seasonal ingredients from our neighbouring farms, growers and producers. Fresh fish is always available and is landed at Newhaven, Brighton and Shoreham from family owned day boats working along the south coast.
We won’t cut corners and make sure that all of our ingredients are in the best possible condition. However, due to purchasing locally sourced ingredients from small producers our day to day menu may vary.
Our food is evolving all of the time, and we will always look to feature the pub classics such as Steaks, Fish & Chips, Burgers and Pies with some fantastic daily specials on offer if you fancy something a little more adventurous.

Great lunch with kids - had fantastic mussels and chips, other ham, egg and chips. Proper ham and great eggs. It even has a little store for produce too.
My husband and I went here for a Sunday roast, I had the beef and he had the pork. Massive portions and very delicious, staff was very friendly! Good value for money!
Lovely quiet country pub Fabulous Sunday roast dinner. Lots of meat. Massive Yorkshire's. Heaps of veg and lush gravy. And the icing on the cake.. lovely friendly smiley staff Will definitely go again. Great location if you are at the Knepp estate for a day out
We visited this pub on a beautiful warm and sunny day. My first time. What a menu! Good Lord. The fish, the pies, the variety - including some vegetarian options - sounded superb. Fish is locally caught and fresh. We had a lamb pie. Absolutely delicious! I'd like this to be my local 😀
We had such a lovely meal in very beautiful garden,bbq ribs,coleslaw and chips and risotto with sweet potato feta and pine nuts,dogs allowed in garden, pub very large and spacious inside, also sold local products, ie milk,bread, cakes fruit and veg. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We saw a herd of deer in field adjoining beer garden and storks in a barren tree, definitely worth a visit.
