The New Inn, Littlehampton

Just found this great pub via this site and reviews. Had Sunday lunch there today and i'm pleased to say it more than lived up to the reviews and our expectation. We were greeted when we walked in and the locals were friendly and of varying ages, families and dogs seem equally welcome and all seemed to treat the place as home. Very friendly welcoming atmosphere and olde worlde unspoilt charm that sadly is in demise elsewhere with 'modernisation' (don't do it!).

Had a superb home cooked, proper sunday roast. The beef just melted in the mouth and was perfectly cooked. Giant yorkshire pud and proper home made gravy. Deserts and cheese board were also excellent with my apple crumble being as close to perfect as I have tasted. Prices were where they should be and all was excellent value. My mother in her 80s enjoyed it so much, before she went she was not hungry, yet when it arrived she managed to eat the lot! The bar staff were friendly and helpful, attentive without being intrusive. No card machine (not a real problem as long as you know). We were asked if we would come back..........just try stopping us! Look forward to sampling the music one evening and the weekday menu looked very appetising too....will no doubt sample this at some time.

To the New Inn, thank you, keep up the good work and don't change a thing.
