The Huntsman, Eridge Green

The Huntsman is a very special place. For me this pub is everything a pub should be. No jukeboxes or tv, instead pub games drawn onto the tables like shove ha'penny and even monopoly. Great beer and a really impressive and large wine list which was chosen after a wine tasting session where the wine tasters rated the wines and advised what they would like to have on the list. The food is excellent with locally sourced produce I believe and the service received makes you feel like you are a really special visitor. The menu changes daily by the way. The delightful new landlady, Emma, had her finger on the pulse but everything felt laid back. One night a week (I think it was Tuesdays) I noticed they had a Bikers night for classic bikes. I just wish this pub was my local because the formula for a proper pub was perfect for my liking. I know this probably sounds a bit gushing but I just haven't found a pub like this for years that simply ticked all my boxes. Thanks ... I will be coming back SOON
