Cheers

I visited a traditional country pub yesterday in the village of Charlton, near Goodwood. The pub has kept its dark wood interior and bar, while embracing the modern trend for gastro food. This it does in two separate dining areas which do not interfere with pub ambiance.

For a small pub, it had several cask beers, three ciders and the usually gassy stuff. The cask beers are all local Sussex micro brewers and one was called Fox, the same name as the pub. A plaque on the wall indicated that the first ever WI meeting in England was held here, and a picture on the wall showed Doctor Who, Sarah-Jane and the Brigadier in a scene which was filmed there too. A proper English pub.
