THE CASTLE INN HICKSTEAD LTD

Company profile. The Castle Inn Hickstead Ltd is a UK private limited company incorporated on 20 April 2026 with its registered office at Hickstead Place London Road, Hickstead, Haywards Heath RH17 5NU. The Hickstead Place London Road premises sits on the A23 corridor at Hickstead near the All England Jumping Course south of Haywards Heath in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, indexed as a long-standing roadside pub and hospitality building on the A23 trunk-road frontage. The trade context is a transformation project for the historic Castle Inn Hickstead with planning permission granted by Mid Sussex District Council for the addition of a farm shop and café alongside the pub-and-restaurant trade, and a recent licensing variation application (Mid Sussex licensing application dated March 2025) re-defined the public bar split as a 25 percent pub and 75 percent restaurant arrangement across the same floor-space envelope. Trade specialism is countryside hospitality combining a pub, restaurant and an evolving farm shop and café offering on a major A23 commuter and visitor route. Contact channels and how they were verified. No standalone brand website, public email or telephone number tied specifically to The Castle Inn Hickstead Ltd at Hickstead Place has been published. The castleinnhickstead.co.uk and castleinnhickstead.com domains do not resolve to an operating site. The Facebook brand-page My British Pubs post that announced the transformation does not surface a verifiable operator mailbox or trading phone for the Hickstead site. Brand-namesake disambiguation: The Castle Inn Hotel Bramber at castleinnhotel.co.uk (a separately operated 3-star family-run free-house hotel in Bramber, Horsham District, publishing the 01903 812102 reception line and Bramber dining channels) is a wholly distinct operator at a different West-Sussex premises and is categorically excluded from channel inheritance; the historic Castle Inn Hickstead Wikipedia Commons photo references a previous incarnation that became a Chinese restaurant and is unrelated to the 2026 transformation. The founders LinkedIn and Instagram footprint, when surfaced under the Castle Inn Hickstead brand, would be the warmest publicly accessible contact route. How to approach this company. Treat the buying centre as a small founding team transforming a roadside A23 pub-and-restaurant into a pub, restaurant and farm-shop-and-café complex at Hickstead. Realistic prospect coverage is pub-trade tied-and-free-trade beer-and-cellar partners (Heineken Star Pubs, Greene King Pub Partners, Punch Pubs, Admiral Taverns), EPOS-restaurant SaaS (Lightspeed Restaurant, Tissl, Toast UK, Square for Restaurants), reservation-and-table-booking SaaS (OpenTable, ResDiary, SevenRooms, DesignMyNight), farm-shop and artisan-food trade-supplier partners (Cotswold Fayre, Diverse Fine Food, Forest Whole Foods), licensing and food-safety compliance consultancy, AA Rosette and Michelin Guide inspection partner desks, Mid Sussex District Council licensing and planning advisory, Visit Sussex and South-Downs tourism marketing partners, and trade-business banking onboarding (Tide, Starling, Wise Business, Mettle, Lloyds Business). Outreach should be via Companies House registered-office correspondence to Hickstead Place paired with a LinkedIn search for the named director and a Facebook message to the brand-page operator. Out of scope. No verified email, phone, website or social handle is being claimed; the Castle Inn Hotel Bramber 01903 reception line and dining channels are categorically disclaimed as the wrong-premises namesake and are not inherited. Vergi / VAT and HMRC data are out of scope. The unrelated Castle Inn Hotel Bramber, the historic Hickstead pub that became a Chinese restaurant and the various other UK Castle Inn pub-trade operators are explicitly excluded.
