With thick suet crust pastry, fresh vegetables and top quality local Sussex meat & game, Humble Pies are the real deal, providing an amazing range of scotch eggs, sausage rolls, arancini, stuffed sourdoughs & humble crumbles.
Sussex Coffee Trucks
Sussex Coffee Trucks are truly passionate about all things coffee and aim to give you the best taste experience using coffee from their friends at Lindfield Coffee Works.
The coffee they serve is not only fantastic, it’s ethically sourced, and they can trace the coffee they use all the way back to the individual farmer who grew it.
