Delicious lunch. I had the loin of venison which was very tender and so tasty I shall definitely be back to have that again ! Followed by coffee panacotta which was gorgeous. My husband had fish and chips, the only criticism would be that it came with far too many fries, followed by jam roly poly - his favourite. Staff were very efficient and helpful.

Unspoiled country pub serving superb locally sourced food. Excellent ale and a good wine list. (The pinot noir was a great match to the venison.) The welcome could not have been friendlier, nor the service, which was exceptional. Very highly reccomended and we'll be back.

We always have a really good experience here. It’s our favourite place to eat out. The food is always amazing and the staff so friendly. However on this occasion they were clearly short staffed and ran out of beef on a Sunday so that was disappointing. We will continue to eat here nevertheless and highly recommend.

Every time we visit it is always great food and service. We travel 65 miles to meet family 1/2 way and it is worth it just for the food. Today fantastic Tandori Partridge as a stater. Best restaurant in the Horsham area.
