| A worthy review below and one which actually captures essentially everything I felt needed saying about the rejuvenated Frog & Nightgown. It is so rewarding to see a pub return from the brink after the previous private owner left, with the outlook seemingly predictably set on conversion to a residential dwelling. Just goes to show what a vigorous campaign of action to revive a pub can do, along with a bit of luck that the right person comes along to be able to make that revival work, which fortunately was the case here. Now a thriving tea room in the summer months as well as a fine, cosy pub throughout the year, the F & N is increasingly popular, despite its remote location. The two sides of the business seem to peacefully co-exist, with neither unduly impinging on the other's atmosphere or viability. On the local grapevine, I haven't heard a word said against it - quite the reverse, so all signs are positive for the next few years at this valued - and saved - hostelry. Keep up the excellent work folks. I just wish I could drop in more frequently. Gamboozler - 20 Oct 2016 17:36 |
| Pleased to report that the F & N is open and a must-visit for those who enjoy unpretentious rural pubs serving a good choice of well-kept ales in beautiful surroundings. Our visit on a hot Saturday afternoon found beers from Harveys, Dark Star and Long Man breweries, all in excellent condition. Fuller's London Pride was also available. The pub has been smartened up a little, without sacrificing its former character. Food is served and the building now includes a tea-room, providing another dimension for visitors to enjoy. The well-maintained garden is enormous and has far-reacing views across the surrounding countryside. No car park apparent but there's easy parking on the quiet lane outside. This must be a contender for the perfect country pub. whosnext - 28 Aug 2016 09:14 |

| Yes, quaint and charming as previous commentaries imply. When ending your visit by car, though, best to recover your tracks by going back to the main road, as the lane towards Rusper gets more and more narrow with some scary hairpin bends. tommo5 - 3 Aug 2011 13:59 |
| This marvellous pub used to be known as the Royal Oak.It was the last pub in the Horsham area to have a restricted beer retailaer's licence.It was beer or nothing,also the only pub in the area with the ring the bull game.Long may it survive even with its new silly name. oldandmild - 10 Dec 2009 07:41 |
