The Gribble offers comfortable chesterfield sofas surrounding two roaring log fires to warm you in the winter months and a pretty cottage garden in which to enjoy the long summer evenings.

The Gribble welcomes amongst others; locals, rambler & walkers, cyclists, well behaved children and dogs.

Opening Hours

Sundays 12 noon to 10.00pm

Open for breakfast & coffees from 9am Monday to Saturday

and then

The 16th century thatched cottage that is today The Gribble Inn, was once the home of local school teacher Rose Gribble.

Following her death in 1980, local farmer Peter Hague compassionately bought and transformed the cottage into a public house for the local Oving parishioners. In memory of Rose, Peter named the pub ‘The Gribble’ as a lasting tribute.

The onsite micro-brewery has been active since the opening of the pub in 1980. Head brewer, Rob Cooper, has brewed beer at the Gribble since it opened. His late father was the Head Brewer before him and both had the pleasure of knowing Rose Gribble

With the support of Simon & Nikki, head brewer Rob has been brewing with a renewed enthusiasm and has had some very successful brews of late: ‘Robs Revenge’ brewed to celebrate his 2000th brew and ‘Flints Full Glory’ named after the pub dog Flint.

Several of our beers have recently been featured at the Great British Beer Festival including Pukka mild, C.H.I.P.A. and the very popular Sussex Quad Hopper 4.0%. You will find up to 6 of our own ales served at the Gribble Inn bar, including old favourites such as Fuzzy Duck.

South Downs Way

southdowns

The South Downs Way is one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales and was the first bridleway National Trail in England. It is also the only National Trail to lie entirely within a National Park. Stretching from the ancient cathedral city of Winchester in the west, first capital of England, through to the white chalky cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head at Eastbourne in the east, almost all of its stunning 160 kilometer length is blissfully off-road.
