1. CELEBRATE AT THE GUN
Thank you very much for considering The Gun for hosting your special event.
You might have already sampled some of our finest food and ales amongst family and friends and are now thinking
about celebrating a special event such as a birthday party or a family occasion at the Gun.
This unique 15th century pub was, in former times, an ancient court house and has a long history of intrigue and
passion well known to the local community.
Simply oozing charm and atmosphere, The Gun is situated in the heart of the Sussex countryside, only a short drive
from Eastbourne sits directly on the Wealden Way, one of the most beautiful country walks in East Sussex. The Gun
has recently been re-furbished and is now one of the most inviting pubs in the county.
Our professional teams are dedicated to make your special event a success. I will be on hand to take off some of the
pressure of having to organise a celebration and will be here to help and advise you at all stages, ensuring your private
party fully reflects your personal taste and aspirations. Our Head Chef and his team offer a varied selection of freshly
prepared food all day every day, both traditional English as well as continental specialties using local suppliers
whenever possible to support the local farming community.
We have enclosed for you information copies of our current menus, packages and supplements available to you. Should
you wish a more tailor made event, we would be delighted to discuss your requirements in person. Please do not
hesitate to contact me on 07889 885366 or at events@thegunhouse.co.uk
