Visited 23/11/25. Visited previously 11/08/19.
Cask here was Long Man plum porter, Burning Sky Plateau, Harvey’s Best. Keg was Guinness, Becks, Camden Hells, Mahou, K crisp apple and Burning Sky Embrace table beer.
Been a while I was last here, pre-pandemic when there used to be a late summer fayre and classic car show at nearby country pile Firle Place. Bar counter is on right-hand wall just inside the door continuing to a bare boarded area set for diners with a roaring fire. Room to the right of the end of the bar down a step with benches and tables laid for diners. Back room bare boarded dark walls, fire grate and traditional tables laid for diners. Was very busy with diners on my Sunday teatime visit. Cosy country pub with excellent food and a reasonable cask range, the Long Man and Burning Sky I had were very well kept.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ram Inn
Popular dining pub, very busy on a Sunday afternoon with just some damp outside tables free following the repeated rain showers. However, given a quick wipe down, the courtyard was a fine spot once the sun came out (and a bit of a bonus too, since the clocks had gone back earlier that day). Didn't really get the chance to look around much of the multi-room interior, but the parts I saw were every bit as traditional as one would expect in a historic village such as Firle. Beer-wise, the inevitable Harvey's and a decent Old Man from Long Man (£4.50) were available from the four handpumps.

Southern Man left this review about The Ram Inn
Grade 2 listed building in the wonderfully rural village of Firle, nestling at the foot of the South Downs. Small bar area but has a public bar room on the left and the games room to the right (mind your head on the low door frame) which still has an old Toad-in-the-Hole game. There is also the Functions Room (the Old Court House Room) to the rear of the public bar room too plus rooms in the old stable range to the right hand side. Since I last visited way back in 1989 it has undergone a refurbishment in 2005 which has resulted in a new paint scheme which is at odds with the rustic charms of the pub. In other words it has gone gastro! However it still sells two to three real ales (usually Harvery's Best plus two local brewery beers; Long Man or the nearby Burning Sky) plus one real cider on hand pump. The pub has a nice walled garden to the rear plus tables and seating outside the front. Does get very busy during the summer with walkers, hikers et all plus visitors to the nearby Glynebourne Festival during May to August (the 5 guest rooms are usually sold out).
