The Mulberry Inn
Petworth Road, Chiddingfold, Surrey, GU8 4SS
The food, drink, hospitality and convivial atmosphere are all taken very seriously here – as you might expect in a place owned by celebrity DJ Chis Evans, who lives nearby and is often seen at the bar. Somewhat surprisingly, the front bar of the Mulberry actually feels more like a restaurant than a boozer. The food is excellent though – definitely on the fancy pants end of the gastro-pub grub spectrum, and with price tags to match. The wine list is comprehensive and well considered, and beers include ales from Surrey's Hogs Back Brewery and the Langham Brewery, just around the corner in Sussex. Drinkers will love the fantastic big beer garden, which includes a great play area for kids. Dogs are welcome too. Attached to the pub are three great rooms, offering comfortable, classy country retreat-style accommodation. All three are doubles with en-suite bathrooms.
