Traditional Hospitality at The Old Stables

Of all the pubs in Fontwell, The Old Stables is surely the best place to make the most of our weather (come rain or shine) - with a delicious meal, a thirst quenching drink and the cherished company of family and friends. Soak up the warmest of welcomes and explore some of the most popular pub food menus in Sussex and the Sea. Try one of our hugely satisfying seasonal dishes with a glass of fine wine or sample a rewarding pint of our regularly changing and highly quaffable cask-conditioned real ales.

A Refined Dining Experience

You can also enjoy candlelit evenings in our designated dining rooms, so relax in style and comfort - and experience full table service to make the occasion even more special.

A Little Pub History

The Old Stables takes its name from the buildings that were previously on the site of the racecourse. The course officially opened on 21st May 1924. One of the most attractive racecourses in the country, Fontwell Park has been voted the Best Small Racecourse in the South East for several consecutive years.

Charming Local Accommodation

Our 40 bedroom Innkeeper's Lodge opened in 2006, and since then we have attracted local and travelling race goers, as well as diners and drinkers from Arundel and nearby Eastergate, Westergate and Slindon. We also welcome business and leisure travellers to enjoy some of the best bedrooms and accommodation in East Sussex.

Around The Area

Our rustic inn with beautiful gardens is at Fontwell Park racecourse, and a real oasis on the road between the picturesque towns of Arundel and Chichester. We're also close to the Festival of Speed at Goodwood.

Enjoy Good Company?!

The Old Stables in Fontwell is a member of the Cask Marque Trust in recognition of its excellence in the service of real ale.
