Take Away Food at The Countryman

The Countryman restaurant and pub located in West Sussex are pleased to announce that they have recently launched a new take away menu.We listened to what our customers told us. We found out that you want to enjoy the fresh, homecooked country food, but sometimes you don’t have time to spend the whole evening relaxing – you need to get on with work or you want to stay in and catch the latest episode of EastEnders. So our takeaway service is serving the heart of Shipley, Southwater, Dial Post and Partridge Green communities! Don’t delay, give us a call and enjoy a scrumptious burger or pizza. Yum!

The moral of this story is that we take your feedback seriously, so if there is anything else you want to tell us, do please contact us via email or phone 01403 824229.

Farm Shop at The Countryman West Sussex

Due to popular demand, we have started planning to start work on the Countryman Farm Shop. The Countryman Farm Shop will consist of a new area dedicated to showcasing produce from local suppliers. As well as our own homegrown produce there will be fresh vegetables from keen local gardeners, homemade chutneys and preserves, local cheese and cold meat selection, homemade bread and cakes, and fresh milk, cream and eggs from various farms.

Many of the vegetables that you will see are from the same suppliers that we use for our freshly cooked food at The Countryman – the best country pub in West Sussex.

A few interesting facts about Farmers Markets

The first farmers’ market started 13 years ago in 1997 and there are now over 500! This proves the greedy supermarkets haven’t completely won! On the contrary –  these statistics prove that the public want fresh, high quality food and they want to support local farmers and suppliers. Farmers markets are usually held on a weekly or monthly basis – the emphasis being on quality and freshness. When you talk to the stallholder, you will normally find that you are talking to the actual farmer that grew the produce for sale!  Source: Alliance & Leicester Commercial Banking news.

Our Farm Shop will be open every day!

Once our farm shop is open, you will not have to wait a whole month to buy your fresh food, as our shop will be open every day during The Countryman pub opening hours. We will update you on the progress of the our new farm shop regularly.
