This is the quietest pub I've personally ever been in on a Friday night (11/11/2016). From 8:45 on there were never more than 6 people (including me & wife) in the bar. At about 10:30 the barman disappeared out the back. When he re-appeared about 10 min's later we were about to ask him for a last drink when he said quite firmly "we're closing in 15 minutes". Not wishing to drink under pressure, we left!
The quality of the London Pride was excellent.

Pretty good pub just off the South Downs. Worth a trip here.

had a nice meal there last week . A well known and loved pub and is very cozy in the winter and fab outside in the summer. Huge area and hikers/walkers etc welcome. In terms of beer was driving so a no no. Menu has changed since my last visit and no more lamb shank. Good though with an odd menu as nothing seem to link up . Not as fantastic as before but quality and quantity of food still a very good standard. Yummy desserts as well.

29.9.11 Welcome pitstop on the South Downs Way between Upper Beeding and Amberley...the only pub en route. Time c 1500 Weather Outstanding. Sat outside with pint of London Pride �3.35 (Flowers and Doom Bar also available). Didn't eat but extensive menu and open all day. Bar staff filled up my water bottle for the next leg of the walk.

I went for a meal at this pub and I can honestly say it was the worst meal I have ever had. It stated it was 'fresh' pasta, which it obviously wasn't; it disintigrated in your mouth before chewing; was obviously dry pasta cooked, frozen and reheated. I couldn't eat it and when the lady from behind the bar came to clear it away, I voiced my concerns and was told; 'you should have told me sooner!' No other offer/apology was made when I went to pay. DO NOT EAT HERE!

Visited this one on the way back from the races. It was my second visit and I like the pub. The staff were smart and attentive, the bar had a good eclectic mix of people and the garden was clean and tidy.
A really good stop off point and recommended.

Visited this pub on Saturday 15 September 2007 lunchtime after an 8 mile stroll up on the Downs. My companion and I were quickly shepherded into the bar rather than the restaurant) area and promptly served with refreshingly cold drinks. We both ordered ham, eggs and chips which arrived in a few minutes. It was plain food but very welcome and it didn't take long for us to polish it off. It was good value for money.

Travelled 200 miles to enjoy an evening with family who live in West Sussex,the evening was a disaster,shortly after finishing our meal we were asked to leave because we had young children with us,well behaved I might add,the food was OK but nothing to sing about which goes for the beer also.After accepting that this was the way it was going to be we gathered in the garden to continue our conversations only to be told some 5 minutes later that the eviction order INCLUDED the garden!West Sussex hospitality,give me Shropshire anyday.This kind of management will not help our rural pubs,if you want old codgers who sit at the bar all night with half of bitter,go for it,if you want people that spend good money,change your style.

I enjoyed drinking in this pub, a haven for walkers on the South Downs, but also has the feel of a village local. 3 real ales available.

Large pub with restaurant which serves good food, large garden with plenty of seating and good view of the south downs, ample parking, large separate function room. Due to it's location the beer is slightly pricey.
