I called in here on sunday 19/6/2011 with a mate and have to say what a difference
to when I was there a few months ago.
Then it was filthy and the roast was awfull but the new landlord has made a real effort to clean up the place.
The roast I had was exellent very tasty and plenty of it,must be a good chef-----at last!!.
Congratulations, and I realy hope it works for the new people there.

Based on the other reviews, I'm either mad, blind, fastidious or just caught a bad night. Will assume the latter and say nothing.

Had a wonderful family meal in very pleasant surroundings, the children and dogs were at home in the garden, would recommend this pub to any family. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!!

By far one of the better pubs in this area, we have stopped here on a regular basis in the last two years, never disappointed. Food and garden, superb and reasonably priced.

What a gem of a place!!!! Sunday Roast to perfection, friendly people, what more could you wish for? The barman in the stripe shirt provided us with excellent service and even catered for our dog! Well worth a visit, but please, keep this secret place to yourselves.

Good pub let down by the choice of beers.
Sadly this is down to the brewery not the Landlord and Landlady.
The food was excellent and I would recommend this pub to all locals.
Beers were Spitfire (very drinkable) and Green King IPA (I don't like the company policy so I don't touch the stuff).
Don't let the beer choice put you off.
Mine host get top marks. We were looked after like Royalty.

We ate here at the weekend, and in all honestly, I can't remember when we had such good, hearty, home-cooked lunches in a pub.

The pastry on my excellent chicken and ham pie was obviously home-made, and my wife's nut roast I would have gladly eaten myself, but I'm no 'veggie'. Beer and wine also very good. Pricewise, the whole thing was very reasonable.

I took the trouble to compliment the chef, who turned out to be a delightful lady, who does the cooking with her sister, and they were most appreciative of my comments.

I'd like to keep this little gem to myself, so please don't go there and spoil it.

We were just driving along the A283 looking for somewhere to eat when we found the Winterton Arms. Not been there before but hungry so we decided to give it a try. Seems to be a quiet local type pub but very friendly and with a comfortable feel to it. Nice drop of beer on the pumps and the meals we ordered were very good value both in quantity and quality. We had to wait a while for it to be served but if you want freshly cooked food that's what you expect and definitely well-worth the time. We both enjoyed our meals and will make the effort to drive along the A283 again!

above average for an outer village pub

Now under new management (again) and shows great promise. We've eaten there twice in the few weeks since they took over and the food is good quality for a very reasonable price. The steaks are the best I've eaten in a long time. This is not a chic gastro pub, but their food (and beer) is far better than most.

Lets face it, relatively small, north side of the village by nearly a mile and directly in competition with 2 pubs to the south and 1 to the north. Me thinks, why bother in Chiddingfold, just go to the Merry Harriers. No rating left, last had a drink in this pub about 1974 I think !

It certainly is a quite roadside pub now! because you never know when the new land lord can be bothered to open up for business. Shame really, has the potential to be a great village Pub.

Quiet roadside pub. 3 bitters, all cooking - Youngs Ordinary, GK IPA and Banks's.
