Overview
To get to The Hub, you simply need to amble along the lane from Bodiam Castle, head over the river and walk up the hill until you reach Quarry Farm. It’s such a find and very popular with dog owners.
The Hub describes itself as a café, shop, meeting place and venue. There’s plenty of seating, both inside and out, and dogs are welcome in both. The barn is decorated with festoon lights and has a warm and rustic charm to it. Local produce is for sale and all ingredients are sourced as locally as possible.
The Hub serves a brilliant all-day breakfast menu with an array of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, alongside hearty lunches perfect for fuelling up for walkies. We recommend the big breakfast and the pea-amole on toast. Order a side of Battersea dog biscuits for your four-legged friends. They’re baked in-house.
If you’re planning on exploring East Sussex it’s absolutely worth making a detour to include The Hub in your plans. It’s open Sunday to Thursday from 9am – 4pm and 9am – 5pm on Friday and Saturday, as well as seasonal evening openings for music, pizza nights and pop up food trucks.
For The Dogs
You’ll find bowls of water freely available, and doggy treats to purchase.
Opening Hours
Sunday – Thursday: 9am – 4pm
Friday & Saturday: 9am – 5pm
Parking
There is a large car park at Quarry Farm or alternatively, park at Bodiam Castle and walk over – it’s just under one mile away.
The Area
The National Trust’s Bodiam Castle welcomes dogs in almost all of its outdoor areas and inside the café but not across the medieval bridge and within the interior of the castle ruins. However, the grounds make for a lovely walk and offer (we think) the best views of the castle. Take it in turns to pop to the top of the tower if you’d like to play lookout. You can see right across the county. It’s a great place to head before or after your visit to The Hub at Quarry Farm.
