Windmill Inn, Rustingtonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Opps! Sorry, I forgot to also mention that it very nice to be able to dine without having a smokey atmosphere. It was a welcome change to get home and not feel the need to rush to change in to clean clothes!

Saw the other reviews and thought it sounded worth a visit. I'd agree that it is nice and clean and that the staff were friendly. The garden is also very nice, with a nice climbing frame for the children. However, both my wife and I were somewhat underwhelmed by the food. What we had was nice enough, if rather limited in portion size. The menu was a rather strange mix of dishes, without much thought for those people with either fussy tastes or delicate constitutions. Food was nice and hot, with clean cutlery - not something that you always get in some places. I did find it rather frustrating though that, although they claim food is freshly prepared, you couldn't order something to be made plainly, i.e. a plain piece of chicken or salmon, without it being coated in various sauces containing onion or garlic. It's time that pubs and restaurants realised that not everyone likes to have their food covered in these ingredients. In fact, I would argue that their overuse in cuisine is simply a sign of either lazy cooking or poor quality ingredients; otherwise, why not let the delicate flavours of quality, fresh produce shine through?
In summary: pleasant and friendly staff, clean and quite spacious dining area, good garden, but disappointing food choices and portion sizes.

Great Pub and the added bonus of it being non smoking means you dont stink when you come out! Food is very good and although we had to wait 30 mins, we were informed of this fact before being seated. Friendly bar staff.

Had a quick pint on my way to Wick footy at about 18:30.
No atmosphere (well it was early I suppose ...) and the barman seemed quite grumpy.
Good selection of ales (four pumps). I had a pint of "Strongs" (they also had an Arundel beer on as well as two commoners).
Important to note that this is a NON-SMOKING pub. If you want to light up you'll have to go out the back where there's several tables on a patio adjacent to the car park.

For my money, the best pub in the Littlehampton area. Decor is very dated but it's as clean and friendly as you could wish for. Tuesday night quiz is a hoot with backwards bingo and free snacks between rounds.

Fantastic pub. Friendly, great food and the landlord keeps the drinks pristine. Really nice comfy place.

Absolutely lovely. Good food, well kept ales and really friendly atmosphere. Quiz on Tuesdays, New Years party, Xmas menus, very large beer garden. Family friendly.
