| Lovely old pub. Superb characterful garden. Idyllic setting. Expensive beer (Harveys Best £3.60) and short measures at that! Come on, landlord; if you're going to charge so much for your beer, at least serve a full glass. whosnext - 3 Sep 2011 20:53 |
| Incredible. Probably a prefect boozer. The food is outstanding. excop - 27 Aug 2011 12:02 |
| Just spent a night in this lovely little pub. Having known it of old I was interested to see how it had moved on! I was impressed to see that Sam and Misa have obviously put time and effort into making The Horse Guards a place to go! It is small inside but then doesn't that lend itself to the 'Olde Worlde' feel. Selling home made fudge, biscotti to name two it has a modern twist to it. The garden is nice with seating, hammock and vegetable patch complete with chickens who provide eggs for the excellent breakfast that awaits you in the morning, complete with what appears to be homemade fruit museli which was fantastic (as was all the breakfast). The evening meal was delicious - looked good, tasted great and was filling. I think it only fair to be objective in my review and felt that prices of food and drink are what you would expect in a predominantly affluent area that serves Goodward and other events that attract those with, let's say, more disposible income. Having said that it's CERTAINLY somewhere I shall be going again and would recommend it to anyone in the area. A definite YES place to visit. markinky - 9 May 2011 13:51 |
| Thought I'd visit this place as it's in the 2011 Good Beer Guide, and I have to say I was somewhat baffled. There were just two ales on offer, Harveys Best and Betty Stoggs, both fine beers in their own right, but both available in any number of outlets across Sussex (that aren't in the GBG). Seating inside is somewhat limited if you don't plan on dining, basically you sit at the bar or on a sofa in the corner. Service was very friendly, the barman was cheerful and polite and didn't have a problem with me being there only to have a beer. The emphasis is very much on food, and to be fair that's how many pubs survive these days. That there's only a couple of ales on offer, and fairly common ones at that, is just the way it rolls I guess. I didn't try the food, so can't comment on quality or cost. You can buy local produce (fudge, preserves, eggs, etc.) which is a nice touch. If I'm in the Petworth area again and just looking for a pint, then I'd probably give this place a miss. If on the other hand I was looking for a meal then I might return, although judging how busy it was on a weekday lunchtime, I'd imagine booking is recommended. fazerblue - 24 Mar 2011 09:55 |
| Just moved near tp this place, anf thought it would make a good local. Fantastic position and looks lovely from the outside. Inside was disappointing though. Looks like it was once a proper village pub but has been tarted up recently. More restaurant than a pub. The beer was good, but we felt unwelcome as non-diners. A real shame. reggieswain - 4 Feb 2011 17:15 |
