About The Frog And Nightgown, Faygate
The Frog and Nightgown is a Freehouse serving real ale and local craft beers, situated on Wimland Road just off the A264 between Horsham and Crawley.
The Frog And Nightgown, Faygate Description
100 years ago, the pub was known as The Royal Oak, serving bottled beers to the first ten people to come through the door, as this was all the small pub could accommodate. Formerly two cottages, Jim Reynolds purchased the building, extended the bar area and renamed the pub in 1984. Jim, a WWII Halifax pilot and his wife Janet, a school teacher in Poundhill, Crawley, provided the local community with a place to gather and socialise. Jim passed away in 2010, leaving Janet to solely run the premises, with help from the locals, but this all came to an end when Janet sadly passed away towards the end of 2012.
Over the next three years, the pub laid empty, with a few offers made to turn the building from a pub, back into the two cottages it was originally. These were declined by Janet’s family and Horsham District Council, much to the joy of the locals. With such a community created over the years, each Christmas Eve everyone would gather together for a Carol Service in a neighbours’ property. On the gathering of 2015, a local couple, known to drink in the pub for over 20 years, announced they had purchased the property, and were set to reopen as a pub in the first half of the year.
Since that evening, work began to re-open The Frog and Nightgown once again. The pub has undergone a spot of much needed refurbishment, yet retains the character of ‘The front room pub’ that it was known as by many people in the local, and surrounding areas.
Situated just ½ a mile off the A264, the pub has been referred to as ‘one of Horsham’s best kept secrets’. Surrounded by fields, the large pub garden is perfect for relaxing with a cold drink on a sunny afternoon. During the colder months, the traditional ale pub feel, complete with original open fires and chesterfield sofas welcomes you to relax, listen to your favourite record on the radiogram, with your favourite drink.
Working closely with local breweries in Sussex, The Frog and Nightgown aims to provide cask ales, specialty draught beers, and a range of different ciders. There will always be something to quench your thirst!

What a lovely place our friends have been here before and said how good it was for food and atmosphere we will definitely come back we’ll done to the wonderful staff
We moved to Faygate 4 years ago and were thrilled when this Pub re opened! It has now become our favourite! The staff, along with the couple who run the pub are so lovely and friendly!
We went to their Fireworks evening last night and despite the fact that the bar was heaving, they were still all smiling!
So we will continue to make as many of your events as possible, with our friends and family. We can't wait for the next one! �
Highly reccomend this pub! Food is excellent, reasonable prices, friendly staff, lovely Otto the dog, dog friendly � and top notch event evenings! �
We have loved this pub for years and were sad it closed a few years back. Went back this week and it’s great to see the heart of the old place very much alive and kicking - only a lot cleaner now! Lewis is doing a brilliant job. Xx
Tramped across the fields to get there with my daughter and cocker spaniel in tow and well worth the effort.Used to visit 20+years ago so it was a bit deja vu. Still a bit quirky but it's been sympathetically restored and a bit like drinking in your front room.
Good beers and the pork pie with chutney is an excellent accompaniment. Most important dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on their lead. A brave venture which deserves to succeed .
Took my mum for afternoon tea yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Wonderful food, really friendly staff and a lovely welcoming place. So nice to have a proper village pub so close.
Took my daughter here yesterday for a birthday treat.. was absolutely lovely couldn't fault anything.. staff were very polite and service was great.. prices are very reasonable. My daughter has already asked to go every weekend... would defiantly recommend
This place is wonderful - great friendly staff, warm welcome and a true little gem. The icing on the cake is that it is very dog-friendly and my Westie "Hamish" feels very "at home". The place is clean and tidy, good value tasty food and drink and we are becoming regulars to the tea room.
The Anerley bicycle club stopped for lunch on Thursday,and i must say we where made very welcome,it's an ideal country tearoom,pub,very good food at a nice price and a 54 mile round trip was ideal for us.
Stayed in the b&b down the road and called there for drinks a few nights while we were staying around , and must say it was a very nice place run by two good people full of chat and stories and great food glad to see it doing well , best wishes from the Irish boys , �roofers ���
On a nice spot, friendly clientele too�
Although it’s not local to us we would make the effort to visit again
Lovely tea and cake in the sunshine!
I heard about the vintage tractor day at the pub so decided to take my grey fergie for a run. Had a good reception and enjoyed a drink in the garden. I would visit again
I go regularly with my mother in law, who has Alzheimer's - always a lovely experience. The staff are wonderfully pleasant and kind to us. Stunningly beautiful bar area, oosing with authenticity & character. Oh, and the food's good too!
Great welcome,...friendly owners and staff...well kept beers and tasty snacks at both Toad Hall tea room and the inter-connecting Frog and nightgown ....They have quiz nights...Dart nights....and will definitely see the return of our "Saturday Club..Paddy Paz and Rog.
Great beer, stunning views in the beer garden added to Kwan’s pop up Authentic Thai kitchen = happy days!
First time here today, it was a lovely visit, meeting and chatting to lovely people and cosy with fab scones...
Can’t wait to visit again �
Been wanting to try this place for a while. We finally visited yesterday and wasn't disappointed. Had a lovely dog walk followed by a great ploughman's but think we should of done the walk after considering the size of ploughman's! Definately want to return to try the frog afternoon tea.
A great little gem tucked away down a country lane...found by chance. Lovely little tea room with a real fire , food and service very good. A charming place.
Started going here regularly back in the spring and really like it. Lovely to sit in the garden in the summer to get the last of the sun. They don't have a kitchen big enough to do meals but do snacks instead, ploughmans, pork pies etc. They also have a 'visiting' kitchen, a mobile stone baked pizza van making great pizzas at a reasonable price, and a mobile Thai kitchen doing great food, again at a reasonable price. Great idea!
