Kitchen Assistant About us

The Bull is a traditional 16th century pub with rooms, famed for its hospitality, and serves as a hub for the people of Ditchling and beyond. Our cosy bar is bustling with friendly locals, our restaurant packed with foodies, and our large garden is perfect for enjoying a pint in the sunshine. We have six country style bedrooms upstairs and are happily dog friendly throughout.

Hard work, good fun, reliability, and biscuits make our world go round. We would love to meet you if you share our ethos, welcome a good work/life balance, and have passionate energy.
