The Bat & Ball
The Site
Location
The Bat & Ball, Newpound Lane, Wisborough Green, Billingshurst RH14
0EH
Location is vital to any business. Even the most desirable location has to be
accessible by road, foot, bike or even train.
The Bat & Ball has traded successfully in the past and will do so once again
and once again the majority of its guests will be from within a 30-minute
drive radius and will arrive by car or foot.
The car park will prove invaluable especially with a view to event catering
in the future.
