The Village House

The Village House is a traditional village pub, restaurant and B&B in Findon, a South Downs village near Worthing. Its setting in The Square gives the venue a distinctly local character, with food, drinks and overnight accommodation brought together under one roof.

The kitchen focuses on fresh, home-cooked food made with seasonal ingredients. The menu style combines familiar pub favourites with the traditional Sunday roast, making the restaurant suitable for relaxed meals rooted in classic British pub dining. The offering changes with the seasons rather than following a single specialist cuisine.

Drinks include real ales, reinforcing the venue’s traditional pub identity. The atmosphere is centred on a warm welcome and the straightforward comforts associated with a village pub, while the restaurant side provides space for more considered meals. For visitors travelling from Brighton, Findon offers a rural setting away from the seafront and city centre without moving far from the Sussex coast.

The Village House also provides rooms for overnight stays. The accommodation follows the character of the pub, with a peaceful night’s sleep and a traditional village setting. It can therefore suit visitors looking to combine a meal with a stay in the South Downs, as well as those seeking a base in the Findon area.

Events form another part of the venue’s offer, and the pub can host gatherings such as receptions. Its reception service is intended to provide a welcoming setting where family and friends can come together, including for occasions marking a person’s life. The combination of dining, drinks, rooms and event space gives The Village House a broader role within the village than a restaurant alone.

The venue is closed on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, service runs from midday until 10pm, with later closing on Friday and Saturday, while Sunday service finishes at 7pm. Kitchen service is divided between lunch and evening from Tuesday to Saturday, with continuous daytime service on Sunday.
