The Witch Inn is run by Sean Turner who has not only owned the business for the last eight years, but is also head chef. Sean is Sussex born and bred and learnt his trade whilst living at The White Horse in Ditchling, where he grew up. After two years working as a chef at Bill and Bull in Uppsala, a city north of Stockholm in Sweden, he returned to his beloved Sussex to run The Witch, working alongside French chef Frederic Bodeau. The weekly changing menu is a fusion of English, French and Swedish dishes, using locally sourced products.
The Witch Inn dates back to the mid 18th Century and was originally an 'Inn' housing travellers and highwaymen on the main coach route between London and Brighton.
