Noah’s Ark - Pub in Sussex
Lurgashall, Petworth, GU28 9ET, Sussex
England,
United Kingdom
In an idyllic setting – beside village pond and churchyard, overlooking a cricket green – the Ark restores faith in the future of the English country pub. In Henry and Amy's hands, this old village boozer has become a place of charm; no more darts, but a surprise at every turn. From bar to cosy dining areas – and one barn-like room – are beams, parquet flooring, open fires, traditional country furniture and a sprinkling of modern leather. The kitchen's insistence on good-quality (local, seasonal) produce results in a roll-call of British dishes; come evening, the simple bar menu is bolstered by such dishes as confit duck leg with celeriac mash, pickled braised red cabbage and parsnip crisps. A cottagey garden to the side and picnic tables out front complete the very pleasing package.

Amy Whitmore & Henry Coghlan:
- Situated where we are, on the Surrey Sussex border, and at the foot of Blackdown, we could not be more spoilt for beautiful countryside and wonderful places to visit.
- If walking, bicycling or riding are your thing, we are stone's throw from the South Downs Way.
- All of the attractions of the Goodwood Estate are within easy reach - be it motor racing, horse racing, golf, or aviation.
- In the summer Midhurst plays host to a whole series of Cowdray Polo events, culminating in the famous Gold Cup.
- There is plenty of cultural pursuits to be found in Chichester & Arundel, including galleries, Arundel Castle and the Chichester Festival Theatre.
- On our doorstep is the wonderful Lurgashall Winery and Blackdown Distillers. Or just enjoy the local team playing cricket on our beautiful village green!
