About this restaurant

  • Dog-friendly
  • Charming
  • Great for craft beers
The Shepherd & Dog has maintained all the traditions you would expect in a country pub but with an unrivalled view in an outstanding setting at the bottom of Devils Dyke. The fabulous Sunday Roast is on offer from noon, serving all the way to the last booking at 5.30PM. Locally sourced, seasonal food menus showcasing the best of the local area. We have received BRAVO restaurant awards in the top pubs category, year after year.
All craft beers are local, exclusive or unusual in some way - no run of the mill here!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

    Absolutely brilliant. The atmosphere in the barn lovely and it was certainly warm and cozy. The food was well presented and well cooked and the waiter David was very good and attentive.

    Imagine finding yourself deep in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by beautiful countryside and enticing walks. Perhaps you would start to fantasise about a picture postcard pub, nestled in a small valley, maybe offering craft beers as well as the traditional options. You might even begin to feel hungry for some tasty, home cooked, smartly presented, quality fare, served perhaps by smiling, attentive staff. And, should you happen to have a dog in your company, you might wish for the possibility that well-behaved such pets would be welcomed. Stop imagining, and book yourself a table - Sunday lunch would be a great introduction - and discover just why our traditional pubs need our support in order to ensure that such delightful gems as The Shepherd and Dog in Fulking prosper.

    Seven of us went for Sunday lunch. The mains were excellent, with the vegetables being a highlight. Plus, wonderful Yorkshire puds and lashings of great gravy. Desserts were equally good. Recommended!

    Excellent burger, pies and fish&chips. Good beer selection from local brewers and attentive service. A great local pub with a open log fire.

    This was my first time visiting the Shepherd & Dog and it was lovely! I had haddock and chips for main and sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was delicious. Both dishes came on the set menu where two courses were £20 which I thought was a great deal. Would definitely recommend.
