drive straight past, go to the Royal Oak instead, a better pub, and it'll save you money littlecon - 25 Oct 2012 10:21 |
As pointed out by the last reviewer this is not really a pub, more of a swanky restaurant housed in a former pub. With lunch at about �25 for three courses, the food is not over-priced for this area and it is (mostly) well-conceived and well prepared. The caramelised melon with fried quails' eggs was an inspired dish and I really enjoyed it. The desserts were superb. What let this place down on the day we visited for lunch was poor service: a wrong order for the starters; juicy (and very tasty) scallops served on a flat slate so the juices spilled all over the table cloth; half the main courses arriving fully 20 minutes after the first ones; and the whole meal taking over 3 hours by the end of which we were feeling hungry again. To be fair they accepted up front they'd screwed up and took quite a lot off the bill -- but they shouldn't screw up. My overall rating of 5 is an average of 9 for the food and 2 for the service. Maybe it was just a bad day and they're usually on top of their game; I hope so. Whether I'll bother going back to find out, I'm not so sure. priestleysj - 20 Mar 2012 16:50 |
Refurbished in the period 2008/9 this is less of a pub and more of a superb restaurant specializing in locally caught and very fresh fish. Beautiful location in the south Downs. You can still just go there for a drink but if tempted to a meal be prepared to enjoy it--but at a price. bitter_sweet - 19 Mar 2011 06:51 |
