Local record

History of this pub

The Crossbush sat beside the A27 about a mile south-east of Arundel, just before the junction with the A284, and CAMRA describes it as a large, family-friendly roadside inn close to the town. It was a Beefeater with a Premier Inn next door, a garden and its own car park, and in 2022 two handpumps were added so diners could have a pint of cask ale. The local parish council recalls that the A27 dual carriageway, opened around 1993, drew food outlets and a hotel to the Crossbush junction, changing the character of the old village.
