Welcome to our friendly village pub in the heart of the South Downs. The perfect spot to start your adventure in the National Park.

In the centre of Cocking village, immediately below the South Downs Way, and now owned by the local community, the Blue Bell at Cocking is a welcoming free house, serving fresh local produce and a choice of local ales, and excellent coffee. We have a garden with Downs views and are dog friendly in our public areas. We are also an official South Downs Information Point, providing comprehensive information on the surrounding area, and offer cycle repair facilities on site.

Our Phone Number’s Getting the Boot…

Well, we tried everything. We pleaded, we begged, we even offered biscuits, but British Telecom has told us we must have a new phone number as part of their big switch to digital. Apparently, upgrading our broadband to fix the WiFi gremlins means our old number has to go. Go figure!

So, around June 20th, our phone number will change whether we like it or not (we don’t). We know this is frustrating. Trust us, we’re right there with you, but alas, we’ve admitted defeat.

The good news is you can still reach us on the current number right up until the switch or, if you’re feeling dramatic, just shout in the general direction of the pub and we’ll do our best to hear you.
