The Oak Barn Bar & Restaurant

Nestled on the edge of Burgess Hill, The Oak Barn is a beautifully restored 250-year-old barn restaurant full of rustic charm and heritage. Original oak beams—many reclaimed from historic wooden ships dating back to Nelson’s time—create a warm and authentic dining atmosphere unlike any other.

Our menus feature a wide variety of freshly prepared, locally sourced dishes. Whether you’re craving a light lunch, a hearty dinner, or something special from our Chef’s daily menu, everything is cooked to order using the best seasonal ingredients.
