If you’re exploring Billingshurst, you need to eat, and you need to eat well. Luckily, there are some interesting and top-notch places to stick your fork into, and in our hunt for good food, these are our Billingshurst foodie hotspots.
Jengers Craft Bakery
Billingshurst is blessed with having an almost legendary bakery which has won a variety of awards. They are a family run business and they bake all their products daily so you can enjoy warm, fresh bread along with sweet pastries and savoury bites.
Cafés and coffee shops
Billingshurst has a veritable bevy of coffee shops and cafés: Little Bean is in the High Street and has a full English breakfast menu as well as daily specials, and lots of lovely cake. Whispers, just near the car park, combines breakfast, lunch and brunch with brocante and crafts. Head out of the village for Old Mill cafe in Wisborough Green.
Bevies and beers
Apart from its pubs, Billingshurst is also home to Billi Tap, a micro pub that serves craft beers made by Brolly Brewing and Little Monster Brewing. If you head north out of Billingshurst, you will find House Coren at The Haven, charismatic producers of sparkling wine. You are also not far from Kinsbrook (where they also do food and have a farmshop) and Nutbourne vineyards as well as Hepworth Brewery.
Restaurants
There is pretty much everything in Billi when it comes to restaurants from Indian and Chinese to some really good pub grub. Both the Kings Head and the Six Bells serve food but there are also a number of pubs in the surrounding area, like the Blacksmith Arms in nearby Adversane. If you want to go up a gear and dine Michelin star, head out of town a short distance to Chalk near Washington, E. Street Bar & Grill in Petworth or The Parsons Table in Arundel.
Markets and farm shops
Billinghurst is home to a monthly farmers market every third Sunday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. If you can’t wait for the market, head on over to the Knepp Estate and their farmshop where you can get organically produced, free-roaming meat from their heritage breeds raised on the estate including beef, venison, charcuterie and pork, as well as lots of other yummies you can find in the shop. There is a coffee bar and restaurant too, set around a courtyard.
Secret Sussex Supper Club
If you’re in the know, and keep a firm eye on Instagram, there is a Secret Sussex Supper Club. They host events in divine settings like Architectural Plants just outside Billingshurst where you can enjoy a Greek inspired feast in amongst the exotic foliage of their magnificent greenhouse. But tickets sell out fast.
