| Great location - great premises. We visited as a family group this weekend having heard of a change of hands and hoping the service had improved since our last visit (2 years ago). As this is primiarily a beer site - I should first say the beer was OK. Nothing more than that. The only reason to go this far would be for the food - and other reviewers have suprised me with their gushing reviews of perfrect service. For us, it all started well, greeted at the door and shown to our table. Then it went down hill. The staff seemed to forget we were there, with us having to seek them out to complete a drinks order, take a food order etc. Some of the food was great, but the lamb was really tough (the staff were very quick to apologise and removed the charge from the bill - but it kind of spoilt the meal for those who had the lamb). The waitress serving the desert started to take an order from another table whilst half way through bringing our food - leaving half of us, spoons poised, waiting to tuck in! The crumble was delicious though. I got the feeling that you recieved priority service if you were 'local people' - with two similar sized tables arriving after us, having two courses, paying and leaving before we'd recieved our deserts. London prices are one thing and OK if you get quality and service to match. This was sadly not our experience this time - and as this was a second attempt we won't be making the trip again. salutes - 14 Apr 2009 10:51 |
| This pub benefits from an idyllic setting, but many pubs in these positions become complacent - not this one. Inside the staff are alert and friendly - we were greeted as soon as we opened the door! The restaurant area boasts starched white linen with an informal atmosphere and the food is superb. Dog friendly bar - where meals can be taken - and water is always available outside. Far superior to the Black Rabbit on the other side of the River Arun. adrienne - 13 Apr 2009 11:54 |
| We had lunch there today and i must say it was lovely. Roast lamb and goosefat crispy potatoes. The service was excellent and the tables were laid properly. We were so impressed that we have booked for mothers day. sheehan - 1 Mar 2009 14:55 |

| I was looking for a pub in the Arundel area for lunch and when I asked friends, ALL of them recommended this one very highly. I went there on a Wednesday for lunch with 5 other people. We booked a table and they were very helpful by setting up a special chair for a friend who has a bad back. It is down a long country road with beautiful scenery. The service was excellent! She was a new waitress who smiled from ear to ear and was great at her job. We each had different meals and it was unanimous...every one of us was bowled over by our food! Even the vegetables were perfectly done to everyone's liking; not too under or over-cooked. The only downside is that it is on the expensive side, so next time I think 2 courses will be fine:-) anonymous - 24 Jul 2006 11:40 |
