| I use this pub on a regular basis. The food is excellent and Emma is doing a great job in making this a really welcoming place. Nice atmosphere and the fact that they are making a real effort in looking at opportunities to improve further is very refreshing. The Huntsman comes highly recommended. vilanovablue - 7 Oct 2011 14:26 |
| The Huntsman is a very special place. For me this pub is everything a pub should be. No jukeboxes or tv, instead pub games drawn onto the tables like shove ha'penny and even monopoly. Great beer and a really impressive and large wine list which was chosen after a wine tasting session where the wine tasters rated the wines and advised what they would like to have on the list. The food is excellent with locally sourced produce I believe and the service received makes you feel like you are a really special visitor. The menu changes daily by the way. The delightful new landlady, Emma, had her finger on the pulse but everything felt laid back. One night a week (I think it was Tuesdays) I noticed they had a Bikers night for classic bikes. I just wish this pub was my local because the formula for a proper pub was perfect for my liking. I know this probably sounds a bit gushing but I just haven't found a pub like this for years that simply ticked all my boxes. Thanks ... I will be coming back SOON karendipity - 23 Jun 2011 20:15 |
| Further to my review of Feb 2010, I recently revisited this place after hearing that it'd changed hands. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised - the atmosphere has improved and now resembles more pub than restaurant, although the menu is still quite pricey. It was a Friday evening and there were more drinkers than diners - definitely an improvement on a few years back. The young staff/landlords seemed friendly enough and the seasonal beer 'Hopping Hare' was pleasant. I would go back, something I never thought I'd say about this place. sussexboy - 20 Mar 2011 21:06 |
| Awful place. It only survives bvecause of its proximty to the station and the fact that there isn't another pub for miles. Nigger - 8 Oct 2010 10:09 |
| Following a thoroughly unpleasant afternoon at the Abervergenny Arms in Frant, our group of happy but wet campers decamped to the The Huntsman, which is next door to Eridge train station. What a wonderful PH and well worth visiting. The Stand-in Landlord made us feel extremely welcome and the beers were excellent, I particularly enjoyed the Fuzzy Duck which is from a local micro-brewery and was tangy and very refreshing. We asked whether we could eat but unfortunately the kitchen is closed on a Sunday though we were told that we could order a delivery and we ordered Pizza's sharing our food with the Landlord. The menu did look excellent, locally sourced food and the prices looked reasonable. Later in the evening a large group of local Gents came to the pub - it appears that they meet weekly and were a great bunch and made us all feel very welcome and both groups enjoyed chatting with each other and all had a fantastic night and we were all very sad when last orders were called! Given our earlier experience we only wish we'd found this place first. Unfortunately the landlord I guess will be moving on but we really wish him well and thank him for making such a memorable night and a big hearty cheers to the Sunday Night drinking group!! crack - 4 May 2010 11:12 |
