Nicola Graimes is an author of over 30 cookbooks as well as a freelance food writer and editor. So her description of the Hiker's Rest in the Roadside Gastro Guide is praise indeed for the popular tea shop at Saddlescombe Farm.

"Nestled in the foothills of the stunning South Downs, around four miles from the A23, the Hiker's Rest is a tranquil place to take a break and enjoy no-nonsense, freshly made food."
"It is foremost, as it name suggests, a welcome stopping point for walkers. However, being located just five minutes drive from the A23, it makes a perfect place to feed body and soul."

"Coming by car; you will park in the car park opposite then take a short stroll past a duck pond on the right and into the converted 17th century barn."
"There's seating for fifty (tables outside and in an open barn), laid with tablecloths, quirky old bone china and vases of flowers. Much of the food is organic and local, including salads, sandwiches on a variety of different breads and a tempting array of home made cakes (some of which are whet-free)."
