My partner and I visited this pub a few weekends ago, excited by the promise of a hearty roast dinner in a pub with new management. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. While the ambiance of the pub was pleasant and friendly, the roast dinner itself left much to be desired. Priced at £18, I expected a meal that would justify the cost, but sadly, it did not. This is coming from someone that's lived in London for the past few years and is used to paying this type of price. The vegetables served alongside the roast were really not great, both in appearance and taste. It seemed as though they had been microwaved with no seasoning and bland. The potatoes, while flavorful, were disappointingly dry and chewy, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the meal. I opted for the chicken, which thankfully was one of the better parts of the roast. It was cooked and seasoned well. In summary, the pub offers a cosy atmosphere, and we really enjoyed the range of board games, however the quality of the roast dinner did not meet our expectations. For the price charged, we definitely would have expected more.
In the gentle embrace of new stewardship, I believe it's time for Google to turn a fresh page and renew the statistics. It's unfathomable to imagine a world where this establishment garners anything less than a celestial five-star acclaim. The new guardians of this tavern have woven a tapestry of warmth and jubilation, enveloping the space in a cocoon of conviviality. The staff, like stars in a night sky, shine with attentiveness and amiability. They are as constant as the North Star, adhering unwaveringly to their opening hours. The ale flows like a well-tended stream, its quality unimpeachable, and the fare offered is a delightful symphony of taste, echoing the essence of a quintessential country pub. What more could one seek in this haven of rustic charm and heartfelt hospitality?
Great pub with excellent roast dinners, good ale and very welcoming staff.
My brother and I happened to walk into this pub after a hike on the Downs. We had been rejected by pubs in Ditchling, so thought we would take our chances here. We had to wait 1.5 hours to see if they would have availability, but they accommodated us, all the bar staff were super nice and friendly. The food was good also!
The food took 35 minutes to arrive! The waitress didn’t explain the wait time when we ordered. My husbands lamb kofta was okay and my sausages were okay but I was shocked to find that my mash was watery and unseasoned and I had frozen peas! We won’t be returning!
