\n General manager Neil Hubbard told the paper that business was “up massively on the previous year”, with weekend Londoners favouring gin and tonics over long walks on the downs.\n<\/p>\n
\n Across the way, Deli on the Green owner Sandra Field explained her ambition to bring a “London-type deli” to rural Sussex, stocking locally produced Rathfinny sparkling wine and Holmes Honey from a local village apiary.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Field told The Telegraph that although the village feels busy in summer, East Dean remains “a nice little protected bubble on the South Downs” with sweeping 360-degree views.\n<\/p>\n
\n The piece also delved into the area\u2019s colourful 18th-century smuggling history, when illicit syndicates like the Alfriston Gang ran contraband gin and tobacco through secret underground tunnels.\n<\/p>\n

\n Dickinson wondered whether that historic penchant for secrecy might explain why East Dean remains one of the few British settlements partly shielded from Google Street View, with cameras conspicuously bypassing the local “Millionaire\u2019s Row”.\n<\/p>\n
\n He also urged weekend visitors to bypass the crowded clifftops at nearby Birling Gap in favour of Cuckmere Haven, before exploring the Long Man of Wilmington and Litlington\u2019s Long Man Brewery.\n<\/p>\n
\n The writer concluded that East Dean captures Rudyard Kipling\u2019s famous description of Sussex by the sea as being “half-wild and wholly tame”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Telegraph singled out the picturesque South Downs settlement of East Dean – between Seaford and Eastbourne –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-772027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
