Stopped off for Sunday lunch big mistake ! Roast dinner was ordered by myself and my partner both meals were below average for the cost. The roast potatoes were Aunt Bessie the cauliflower had strange taste of vinegar obviously pre cooked and kept in a solution to keep the colour and the carrots were well past their best.
The service was very good and the waitress very helpful in getting me gravy as it had been overlooked, unfortunately it was so salty I gave it a miss I just wished we had done the same to the food

I can only agree with Incumbent. Although I'd substitute 'a touch' for very unwelcome.
First contact with mine host, "Hallo, can I have a pint of guinness please?"
Answer, "No".
Just that. Not "I'm sorry, we don't have draught guiness".
It's just before 2 in the afternoon and there were no other diners in, at all. We sat at a table.
We were then moved, no explanation was offered.
I'm local and now I know why I haven't used this pub before, but I know I shan't be using it again.

After a long search for a country pub that did food. We came aross the Bridge Inn. From the minute we walked in the door we felt very welcome. The gentleman behind the bar was very helpful and polite.
The sunday roast's we ordered were very nice indeed, the portions were huge. The meat was lovely and tender and the vegetables were cooked perfect. The desserts were gorgeous(treacle puddding and ice-cream & chocolate sponge with cream) the sponges were not dry at all. The young waitress who served us was very polite and professional. The price's were maybe a little high but I think the portions you got were well worth it. If I happen to be in the area again I will certainly go here for a drink and food.

Excellent Sunday Roast yesterday but I personally could have done with more vegetables and I thought it was a little pricey but the dessert was miles too expensive at �4.75 for meringue and ice cream how ever nice it was! Great beer though!

I always feel a touch unwelcome here when visiting just to sup ale, everything appears to be geared towards the dining folk and the bar feels like a waiting room for the restaurant.
That said the pub itself is always sparklingly clean and though the beers are not always my preferred tipple they are well kept, and I own a springer who truly appreciates the dog garden, nice touch.

Friendly, authentic Old English pub serving above average food with polite if not professional service, add a very friendly atomosphere and it merits 9/10.

Good food, good beer. However food service is a little on the slow side, and whilst the "olde worlde" ambience is excellent, the ceiling is just a little too low for comfort.
Having said that, would certainly go back - and intend to soon.

A great Sunday lunch and entertaining banter from "old" Joe Beckett at this immaculate olde worlde Sussex inn, the staff come and go but the family behind the bar remain the same, good pub grub, prompt service and the choice of well maintained beers complete the overall package for me. 15 miles from home but worth the trip every time, easily the best in the area.

A good welcome from the landlord who has apparently been here for 26 years, the ceilings are very low as the pub dates from 1545. The culinary offerings were adequate but the real ales were most excellent, being a freehouse the selection was good and the Harveys simply perfect.
