Welcome to the Blackboys Inn
The Blackboys Inn was used as an overnight stopping place for drivers transporting charcoal from the local woods to Lewes and other surrounding towns. The name, Blackboys is thought to derive from the colour of the boys who emerged from the woods after burning charcoal. The pub is believed to be haunted and there are various stories as to the identity of the ghost who is thought to be female.

Now, The Blackboys Inn is a far cry from the stopping place used by drivers transporting charcoal. You will always find a friendly and relaxing environment which has been beautifully refurbished. Here you can enjoy fine wine, local ales and excellent cuisine.

The restaurant is available for private parties. The back room seats 20 comfortably and both rooms accomodate 48. We aim to provide you with not only memorable food but also the ambience to suit.
