Excellent menu for lunch including a special lunch menu at £15.25. Quality of the food excellent. Very pleasant and competent service. Only a pity that the enormous restaurant was almost deserted but for my two and another couple on a Tuesday in December. That did not really spoil the visit and we will come again on a spring afternoon: the grounds looked beautiful. TWW

Our meal was quickly served and was delicious. The welcome we received was friendly and our table was reserved in a pleasant, quiet area of the restaurant. We have never had better brownies anywhere! We will be back!

Lovely food, lovely setting, good service. We were not rushed at all - enjoyed a leisurely Saturday afternoon - only small complaint would be glasses not being cleared from table. Aside from that - excellent!

I have been several times to the restaurant and never been dissatisfied or disappointed with the food. The roast dinner is the best I have ever had amazing and the steak is delicious too. All the food is great. Highly recommend. It is one of my favourite places to eat.

The meat eaters were very pleased with their roasts, but the wild mushroom and cashew nut roast with a marsala type creamy sauce was excellent - maybe more vegetarian options will be necessary as we try to save the planet.

Welcoming pub in a great location, delicious Sunday roast, friendly staff. Only downside restaurant gets very busy and it takes at least 20 minutes before they can actually take your food order., food worth waiting for but forget it if you are in a hurry.

Excellent food but service very hit and miss . Once seated I had to get up and down to order mains and then to order desserts. On paying at the bar the young chap hardly gave me time to even check the bill, saying "Give me your card" and thrusting it into the machine. Bit disappointing as the previous evening the service was much better.

A very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, the food was very good and prices were about mid range( around £10-15 a main and £5-6 a dessert). Would visit again if in the area. This place was recommended to us by someone who had already eaten here.

The food was delicious with lots of variety and even a choice for vegetarians. The staff were lovely and very helpful in a relaxed way. There were only 2 minor points, and they didn't really detract from our lovely lunchexperiebce. The table was a little snug for 4 people with not really enough room to put side dishes and then one of our party didn't get the coffee she ordered. However, the overall experience was great and I will certainly be visiting again sometime in the future.

Large characterful pub in attractive out of town location with views south to the Downs. Food and service were both of a good standard but the food prices are on the high side.

Took my partner out for our anniversary meal and when we arrived we didn’t get shown to a table, instead we got directed to where we would sit which was a table for 6 so we ended up sitting ourselves on our own table which wasn’t clean, it had food all over from the previous people that were sat there so I had to ask for it to be cleaned, the food however was very nice, I opted for the steak and chips and I got what I ordered (steak and chips), which was surprising because most places would serve with a salad or mushrooms and tomato. Apart from this the experience was nice, the atmosphere and staff were friendly

Arrived and received a Friendly welcome. We were shown to our table promptly and received attentive service. The food was lovely and there was plenty of it. We had a starter and a roast beef and could hardly finish it as the quantity was amazingly. The shared platter of calamari was huge and would make a lovely lunch to share. Definitely recommend.

I believe there are new owners of this Pub. Food was excellent. Three of us had the Sunday roast which was beautifully cooked with plenty of interesting vegetables and a generous helping of meat. I had Sea Bream again which was cooked to perfection with braised fennel, samphire, asparagus etc. For such a nice pub it would be nice to see the staff helping to create the "Brand" by wearing matching tee shirts and aprons. Very little cost to the owner but does create a more upmarket feel to the establishment.
