Sussex village pub reopens with new landlords

Jack Liddell and Ben Brown have taken over as new owners of the 17th century village inn The Oddfellows Arms in Pulborough.

The pair, who also run a pub in Hampshire, opened the Pulborough pub in Lower Street on Tuesday.

And they received a warm welcome from locals. “It was busier than we expected,” said Jack, a trained chef who will be overseeing the kitchen. "We plan on going down the food market.”
