Renowned local produce
Our historic county is known for the “seven good things of Sussex” which are: Pulborough Eel, Selsey Cockle, Chichester Lobster, Rye Herring, Arundel Mullet, Amberley Trout and Bourne Wheatear. Sussex is particularly famous for puddings: such was the reputation of Sussex that it was said that “to venture into the county was to risk being turned into a pudding yourself.” It is also the home of Banoffee Pie.
In recent decades Sussex wines have gained international acclaim winning awards including the 2006 Best Sparkling Wine in the World at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
