Richard, Caroline and their team are very much looking forward to welcoming you from the 1st October. Following an amazing two and half years running Haywards Restaurant at Hurtwood Park, they are extremely excited to be re launching as The Bat & Ball
Set in the heart of the Sussex countryside they will be serving seasonal dishes in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Their bar boasts a great selection of real ales alongside a carefully selected wine list and soft drink selection and is a great place to enjoy a light bite in front of an open fire.
Alternatively dine in the restaurant and enjoy the a la carte menu showcasing dishes carefully selected by Head Chef Adam.
The Bat & Ball will also offer the ideal location for weddings, private parties, special occasions and other celebratory affairs. The surrounding grounds and gardens will all be available to hire and the pub itself has a number of private areas that are perfect for office lunches and dinners.
We will be open 7 days a week
Bar open for coffee and drinks 11-11
Light bites menu available 12-6
Lunch Monday-Saturday 12-3
Dinner Monday- Saturday 6-9
On Sundays we serve our delicious Sunday roast in addition to an array of seasonal dishes 12-8.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful location. Staff fantastic, great beers and food was even better. Outdoor fire pits being on even though not that busy was a really nice touch. It's a great pub for both winter and summer.
On 19th 5 of us had the finest lunch. Excellent service from staff. Will strongly recommend it and return soon. My calves pan fried liver was heaven and the gravy sauce with it to die for.
Cosy and welcoming country pub. We had a delicious lunch there today, including the seafood surfboard and halibut. A really lovely menu, catered well for veg/gluten free and staff were nice. Enjoyed the atmosphere and comfortable setting, would definitely return and also noted the great outdoor space for sunny days.
4 stars for the pub - enjoyed the food (though on the higher side price wise) service very friendly but could have been more attentive. 3 stars is for the camping - we had people on the pitch we had booked but saw there was plenty of space on the road side of the field and as the member of staff told us it wasn’t a busy road we camped there - spent the whole night being woken up regularly by cars speeding past. No paper in loos - had to use paper towels. At £30 for 2 people for a night not cheap. Avoid road side pitches unless you are a very heavy sleeper
Welcome from Lisa and Bruno was fabulous 👌.. shame they're going on somewhere else.. Last year we stayed and had a really poor Sunday lunch .. This year the pub was brilliant 👏 Our food was perfect .
