The Squirrel Inn

About The Squirrel Inn

Handy for anyone camping nearby at Beech Estate, this country pub near Battle has a playground right next to the terrace, which means children can burn off energy in sight while the adults finish a drink in peace. There's plenty of outdoor seating, easy buggy access and free parking, though the car park fills up on sunny days. Kitchen highlights that come up again and again: the homemade scotch egg, pork belly bites, a magnificent Sunday roast, and sticky toffee pudding worth saving room for. Gluten-free options are handled properly, right down to a kids' burger with the beans served separately. Food usually arrives quickly, and the staff stay warm even when they're clearly stretched. Worth knowing: some find it pricey for pub food, and there are split service times, so ring ahead if you're arriving mid-afternoon.
