| Called in here in July.Didn't plan to eat, but did. Good but pricey-well it is next door to Goodwood. Beer excellent. As good as it was a couple of years back. wittenden - 8 Aug 2011 21:57 |
| Oh dear, things have taken a turn for the worse here judging by the food reports. Intrigued to read about 'servents' bringing the food out but the employees wore black T shirts with 'crew' emblazoned on the back. That said I did not try the food and was there for a post Goodwood beer. Their own brew (produced by Arundel Brewery) at £2.75 was OK and an Otter (priced at £3.45 ouch) was absolutely fantastic. I do hanker slightly for the Harveys Sussex of old days but the Otter was really nice if pricy. Despite the previous comments you can't do much to change the location which remains stunning. Would probably echo previous comments and say do pop in a for beer and enjoy the view and I do hope the catering/service will return to its former glory. mikey64 - 7 Aug 2011 12:27 |
| AWFUL FOOD! Dry, overcooked, sloppy and lazy. BIG dissapointment. Lamb shank looked like they had dragged it from underneath the cooker. Sent it back they said it would be 20 minutes and did I want something else. 5 minutes later they said they took a replacement from someone elses order. -- they took it off the bill but everyone else was too polite to compkain about their dry fish or dry shin bone. -- Great location, good good Ales, advise only to go for beer and a walk. wingman - 23 Feb 2011 17:43 |
| My family and I went to fox goes free pub for lunch on our 17th wedding anniversary . The pub has really nice character and the beer garden looks beautiful so we ordered some food .I was disappointed when the servent put our food on the table . It was overcooked and the chips was very dark brown also the cod was rock hard . I decided to take the foods back and explain that the food was overcooked so the servent accepted it , a few mins later The servent bought our food and I couldn`t believe the food was overcooked again !!! . We were very very disappointed with the food and the cost of the food was quite expensive !!! felpham - 10 Jul 2010 19:57 |
| Location is everything I guess. Garden in good condition with great views across the Sussex countryside. Olde world feel about the pub with lots of character and characters ! Lunch menu very basic and felt really let down by three of the four meals we had. The lasagne was only just warm and the top layer of cheese had not been browned off, the yolk on the eggs on the ham, eggs and chips were rock hard and the steak and ale pie looked like it had been sitting in the kitchen for days and was very dry. Others in the garden who also had the pie left a lot on their plates uneaten. Worst of all were the vegetables that were frozen and not fresh i.e. frozen peas and sweetcorn and don't have the what was supposed to be bread & butter pudding for a desert. A lovely pub let down badly by the quality of its lunch menu that would be so easy to get right. Come on guy's ! olivia1289 - 7 Jun 2010 20:54 |
