Local tip
The spacious beer garden is a useful choice for sunny visits, with an outside bar available for outdoor drinks.

The Potters Arms is a traditional-style pub on Station Road in Burgess Hill, set on a quieter street close to the town centre. Burgess Hill station is within walking distance, making the pub convenient for local residents, visitors and rail travellers arriving from Brighton or London.

The atmosphere combines a lively bar with a relaxed outdoor setting. A spacious beer garden provides room for drinks and socialising in the open air, while the indoor pub offers a comfortable setting for casual gatherings. The venue is dog-friendly and has a family-friendly character, with space and entertainment suited to a broad mix of customers.

Food centres on street food, giving the pub a casual dining style rather than a formal restaurant feel. The drinks range includes local ales, craft beers, wines and artisan spirits, alongside quality pub pours. The bar is designed for an easy-going drink, a meal or an evening built around live entertainment.

Sport is a significant part of the pub’s programme, with major live fixtures shown on screen. Other regular features include live music, jazz, quiz nights, community events and traditional pub games. The mix gives The Potters Arms a social, event-led character, while the garden and bar also suit quieter visits outside scheduled activities.

A private function room is available for occasions and group gatherings. This adds a practical option for celebrations and organised events, with the venue able to discuss room hire and related arrangements directly. The pub’s location near the station also makes group meet-ups straightforward for people travelling from across Mid Sussex.

The Potters Arms suits customers looking for informal food, a varied drinks list and a pub calendar that extends beyond the usual bar service. Families, sports followers, music fans, dog owners, groups and those looking for a garden drink can all find a reason to visit, with the setting shifting between relaxed daytime use and busier evening entertainment.
