Tasty freshly cooked home food. Not a single complaint about any of the food. Compliments to the Chef and the young ladies who looked after us all in the pub on Saturday 31st August. Great team of staff with great service too. Well done to you all at Badgers public house.

I've never had a bad meal there. They serve up to 9pm. Only pub in Graffham area that do food on a Monday to that time. Most others don't do food on a Monday. Service is great, and beers are good.

Went for a family meal, including a wheelchair user. The restaurant has a bit of a threshold which could be a bit tricky for a wheelchair to negotiate,but we managed.The staff were all super nice and accommodating , when we asked to move to a better table for a wheelchair.Food was wonderful, I would definitely visit again.

We walked the South Downs Way last year and this was the best place we stayed at so we went for a return visit last week. The Badgers is run personally by the owner rather than being part of a chain and this is reflected in the way the helpful and friendly staff care about their work. The building is full of character, rooms lovely, food and beer excellent (I'm sure the wine is too but I stuck to beer!) Highly recommend.
