December 2018 Christmas lunch party for 8. Food was excellent and service was attentive without being intrusive. Everyone enjoyed it. Always a warm atmosphere here.
Delicious, good quality food and a welcoming atmosphere. There is also a lovely selection of cosy sofas for snuggling up by the fire with a drink from The Gin Shed.
A delightful setting and helpful staff, serving tasty and well presented food to a high standard. One attractive feature is the comfy sofas and cosy sitting area to have or retire to for coffee after the meal.
Wonderful, food was great and we slept really well the room was clean and comfortable, a lovely place for a relaxing break. Lots of walks in a fabulous area.
Another night to stay yet but so far very good. Clean, efficient and fun rooms ... excellent food. Recently refurbished and full of character. Enjoying so far.
Always relaxed but professional - welcomed with a smile - Excellent food and service. Really nice ambience - we're very lucky to have this as our 'local'.
Really nice friendly, clean,modern little village pub/restaurant B&B, With a great Gin Shed! Food exceptionally good, I would of given a rating of 6 if the final presentation was tweaked a little, I have the steak which I have had on different occasions, but just the faboulous steak and bowl of chips on the plate looks flat/dull ! A little salsa salad or leaf or sauce drizzle would look stunning, although tastes amazing and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place
Very quiet and lacking atmosphere on a Saturday lunchtime - only one other table eating. We had burgers which were quite disappointing. Limited vegetarian options.
Exceptionally friendly staff with great food. Nice bright pub. Interesting decor. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area - it’s worth it
Excellent meal food was superb. Service also excellent. Good overall location and great menu. I would recommend the steak which was Devine. Great wine list as well
It was my wife's birthday and we had a party of 6 for lunch. We had very good service and lovely food. The staff were excellent.
We had an amazing experience . We had burgers and fish and chips. Very attentive . And the gin shed a great touch. We will return.
Excellent welcome and very pleasant inn. However the food was the reason we’d chosen this venue and it was disappointing mainly because it wasn’t served hot. This was our second visit but sadly our last.
I had a business meeting and the food was very nice and the service swift without being overpowering. The Guinness was up to scratch too. We even shook hands with the chef.
Amazing food and ambiance. Service was spot on, very attentive all evening - perfect Ordered the chateaubriand which was incredible- would definitely recommend the pub.
lovely pub food very good, but only 2 people in there. I would say limited menu more like a restaurant. Could do with having lighter options for lunch.
Absolutely first class from the room to the service and the food and drink Definitely will return in the summer for a longer stay Loved it
A real find! Comfortable bedrooms, good meals, restful atmosphere and excellent hosting. Highly recommended. Lots to do nearby as well. South Downs, wedding venues, Uppark, Solemt
Had “early bird” menu - limited choice and some of items on wider menu not on early bird menu despite being same price or cheaper! Pub now nicely decorated with cosy lounge area and log fire.
Food was ok although quite small portions. We were there for Sunday lunch - I had pheasant which was quite tough but tasted ok although a bit lacking in taste. My son had lamb which he said was good and his girlfriend had chicken on mushroom sauce which was very small. Desserts were very small and probably frozen - very average. Staff were not very friendly or attentive and the place generally lacked atmosphere
Great location in a beautiful South Downs village, lovely light and spacious atmosphere with a real modern/traditional mix, really friendly staff and very good food!
Lovely welcome into a clean, fresh restaurant. All four dishes came out together and were all hot, great service fabulous food nicely presented. Highly recommend to all
The food was delicious and service great but the evening was ruined by a wedding party with a young child that cried loudly the whole time we were there we left at 9.15 and it was still crying what a pity not the childs fault just inconciderate parents
The atmosphere, service and food were all great. Friendly and efficient staff with an outstanding chef meant the evening could not have been more fun.
LOVELY MEAL, I had Fillet Steak, medium, perfect cook, my wife had Pork Escalope, it was really lovely but it’s far too much, enjoyed the evening, the owner, Chef & waitress are made us feel welcome, we definitely go back again, many thanks.
We absolutely loved it! We'll definitely return and bring our friends - especially for the gin shed (and the breakfast Heinrich!). Our 2 night stay, to attend a friends wedding, turned into a delightful mini-break.
Had a delightful dinner out. The meal was fabulous, the pace relaxed and the Village Inn had Damiain Lodrick performing, a really fun night. Superb!! Thank you to all.
Nice atmosphere and staff very welcoming. Food was nice but just nice, nothing amazing but for the price you expect more. Nothing wrong with the Food, just didn't quite hit the spot
Stayed at the village inn for one night for our wedding anniversary, booked the restaurant, lovely atmosphere, staff friendly and knowledgable regarding different steaks and fish available. Treated ourselves to the chateaubriand steak for two and we both strongly agreed that it was the best steak we've ever had, melted in your mouth. Chef Heinrich also managed the impossible , one half medium the other medium rare! Delightful. Can also recommend the white bait to start, fabulous! Also had fun choosing from the many many different gins from the gin shed. Lovely after dinner drinks. Peaceful nights sleep and lovely soak in the tub. Thank you Village Inn
lovely staff the village inn is a lovely location food always great 10/10 for the chef cant wait to stay the night rooms look great
The food and ambiance in the Village Inn are spot on. The food was delicious and although a little pricey, worth every penny! Will definitely be returning!
Food was fantastic. Love warm plates and hot food you need to blow on before you eat it. Service was excellent. Happy to pay a bit extra for pub food which is really good. Sticky toffee pudding to die for. Decaf coffee the best I've had in a long time. We will be back. Well done guys.
