The Horse And Groom, East Ashling

After my wife had booked a meal for five in celebration of my daughters 21st we decided to join our son in the above establishment. After reading some of the negative reports I was a bit apprehensive about going but with open mind we went.
What a very enjoyable evening we had, the two young ladys serving were excellent, polite and nothing too much trouble, they were even kind enough to put candles (which we forgot) on the cake we had brought a long to celebrate. The food was excellent and personally I had the half lamb shoulder and swear it was the whole shoulder it was so large. Everyone enjoyed their food. And as a real ale man, the beer was spot on with a good selection. A place well worth visiting if you offspring are at the University, as our son is. General atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant and it was busy the whole evening. I cannot speak of the bar as we were tucked away in the corner of the restaurant for the whole evening. But when we are down Chichester again a visit is almost certainly on the cards if not just to taste the other beers I did not have.
