Stopped here on a Monday evening for dinner for 3 after a day's sailing. The food took ages to arrive. When it did arrive, it was pretty good, except the fried fish had obviously come straight out of the freezer. I think the otherwise friendly and helpful staff got the hint, because they knocked all the drinks off the bill. Still miles better than the Ship Inn around the corner.

Can confirm food is still good, probably the best Thai food I have had in UK. Service very quick. Remember to ask for 'Thai style' not 'English style' Thai food.

We stayed at this pub for a night in January. It was not a good experience and our experience seems similar to many other comments posted here. I wish I had checked this site first, rather than the guide books this pub seems to appear in. Specifically:
- Poor value for money. The room was very average, up a tight set of stairs (I know it is an old building, but people that rent rooms do have suitcases), and expensive, even compared to normal poor value UK hotels and inns. We didn't eat very much (see below) but were charged �7 a head for an average bowl of soup and a roll as a late supper.
- Unhelpful landlady, too complicated to explain here, but I do not think this lady realises she is working in a service industry. After a couple of conversations with her, we decided to eat elsewhere.
On the positive side
- some of the locals on the other side of the bar are very friendly!
- It is close to Gatwick airport!!

The Lickfold Inn, Petworth
It's really a restaurant with a small bar. Great old building with a real sense of history as a pub. I have eaten here several times and food is consistently good-excellent. Expensive for a pub but not so bad for a restaurant in south-east. Sunday lunches are superlative, don't order a starter. Book if you want to eat, it is not a big place. Allegedly owned by Chris Evans. Take GPS as it is in the middle of nowhere.
