In the heart of Cocking village, just below the South Downs Way, the Blue Bell is a community-owned pub, proudly saved from closure by local residents. We serve homemade food, a range of real ales, quality wines, and excellent coffee in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find a small village shop stocking everyday essentials and freshly baked bread and pastries made on-site, and we offer on-site cycle repair facilities for walkers and cyclists. The pub features three comfortable en-suite B&B rooms, a sunny garden with views over the South Downs, plenty of outdoor space where dogs are welcome, and a convenient laundry service for our guests.
