Description

The Onslow Arms is a nice pub with wooden floors and exposed brickwork in a canal-side setting. The pub serves home-cooked food and beers from Hall and Woodhouse including Badger Best, Sussex and Fursty Ferret. Large garden at the front of the pub overlooking the river. Seats at the rear of the pub overlooking the canal.

The pub is located on a restored section of the Wey and Arun canal which is popular with walkers. There are plans to fully re-open the canal.

How to get there

By car, Loxwood is a small village between Rudgwick and Ifold. The village is about 3 miles [4.8 km] from the A281 Horsham to Guildford road. Loxwood is signposted from the A281 at Bucks Green. The pub itself is on the B2133.

Cycling - the best mixed on/off-road route is to take the Downs Link bridleway from Christs Hospital or from Slinfold. For example, join the Downs Link at Slinfold and cycle north towards Rudgwick until you get to the A281. Turn left for a short distance [less than 0.5 miles] along the road and turn left just before [or just after] the Fox Inn.

Cycle along this normally quiet country road for about 3 miles [4.8 km] past the Mucky Duck pub on the right until you get to Loxwood. Turn left heading south and the pub is a short distance [less than 0.5 miles] on the left.

If you want a quiet on-road route, cycle towards the A264/A29 Five Oaks intersection from Slinfold. At the A29, turn left and, after 0.5 miles [0.8 km], turn right [signposted for 'The Haven' and 'Lower Lodge shooting grounds']. Continue along this road for about 3 miles [4.8 km] to the A281. Turn left and cycle a short distance until the Fox Inn, then continue as above.

Suggested cycling routes from here

Come out of the pub and face the canal. Turn right and cycle along the canal bridleway path towards Drungewick and there is another bridlepath which connects up with the Blue Ship at the Haven.

or continue south along the B2133 towards the Cricketers Arms at Wisborough Green or the Limeburners Arms near Billingshurst.

Great lunch. Looked after very well as I am a Coeliac. So it comes well recommended. Will be keen to return.

Must revise my review of the 11th Dec 2008. Have now been here a couple more times for a light lunch with friends and feel bad about what I wrote before - that was one, less-than-perfect experience. The food is fine, the pub has a nice feel about it, and the landlord is easy and pleasant.
