The Hiker's Rest is situated at Saddlescombe Farm, and has quickly become a popular place to stop over for refreshment and rest. Whether visitors to the farm, or passing walkers and cyclists, the Hiker's Rest serves up to all a variety of traditional, organic food and refreshment.
Local produce is used by the Hiker's Rest, a lot of it coming from the farm; and a proportion of all proceeds from the tea shop goes to our host, the National Trust.
Saddlescombe farm is of considerable historic interest and open days are organised every little while, when visitors are taken on a guided tour of the farm. Please contact the tea shop for more details if you are interested.(kerry@southdownsway-hikersrest.com). From October some building work is planned for the Information Centre next to the Manor House on the farm. Also a permanent toilet and showers will be installed in the Hostel for use by the camp site (hopefully).
The Tea Shop is now closed for the Winter -- below are the 2012 year opening times -- - Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 : tea shop re-opens
- 11:00 am to 3:30 pm during the week (except Wednesdays when we are shut); and 11:00 am to 4:30 pm at weekends.
- April 22nd, 2012: Saddlescombe Farm open day

- Monday, June 4th, 2012: "Jubilee" tea party

Look forward as always to serving you at the tea shop next year.
To all of you: a happy Christmas & New Year |
