Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Round Brighton way you can’t really go wrong with any restaurant that’s got a “Ginger” in its name, and the Ginger Fox, just across the Devil’s Dyke, is the country outpost of a mini food empire that also encompasses the reliably excellent Ginger Dog and Ginger Pig gastro pubs and the Ginger Man restaurant in Brighton. Like its sister establishments, the emphasis food-wise at the Fox is on the local and seasonal, so you’ll find Harveys beer and Ridgeview wine behind the bar, and local meat and fish on the menu – in mains such as rib-eye with duck fat chips, or fillet of skate with samphire. They do a great Sunday lunch, usually featuring a couple of roasts and a vegetarian option, and prices are pretty good considering the quality of the food and service – which is always attentive yet relaxed. The pub itself is a lovely old whitewashed building with picture-perfect thatch (topped by a thatched fox), and outside there’s a lovely large beer garden with a play area – just one of the things that will keep children happy, along with a special kids’ menu and the pub’s home-made ice-cream. They also make a point of catering to hungry cyclists, with secure racks for their steeds and free top-ups for their water bottles. On weekends it’s predictably busy – book in advance.
