A 16th Century coaching inn right opposite Jane Austen's House, The Greyfrair could hardly muster more history if it tried. In the chocolate-box village of Chawton, this lovely old pub serves up delicious home-made food, fine ale and a beautiful garden to enjoy it in.


With the pub directly opposite Jane Austen's House (now a fascinating museum), it's a great stop for lunch or drinks after a day of history hunting.


Becky and Mike welcome you back to your village local pub!

We don’t believe food should be fussy. But it must be good and served with a smile! And we are a pub that sells great food and provides a great service. Our restaurant menu features some perfectly prepared classic pub grub in addition to some innovative plates.


Sunday lunch at The Greyfriar – Put off by overcooked pub Sunday roasts, with tired veg, soggy roasties all swimming in insipid gravy? So are we. At the Greyfriar we aim to serve a Sunday roast you would be proud to serve to your friends and family at home. All our meat and veg is locally sourced and the joints are carved to order. Our roast potatoes are crisp straight out of the oven and the vegetables cooked to perfection. Our delicious homemade gravy can be served on the side.
