Been here a few times for drinks and the pub is very nice, friendly bar staff and reasonable prices. If you manage to get the chance to eat here and George the cook is cooking, you'll be in for a treat. She is a great cook and regular customers will agree. She's a credit to the G&D!

We booked for Sunday lunch in the hope of finding a good local pub for return visits. The roast beef was beautifully tender and well cooked as were the vegetables and additional cauliflower cheese. The downside was having to wait an hour for the meal from placing our order. We may have forgiven the wait except for the Sticky toffee pudding desert which was served with no sticky toffee sauce and only a drizzle of sweet syrup on the plate, we pointed out the lack of sauce upon which, the very dry sponge was taken away and returned with a thin coating of the sweet syrup on top ( it was not sticky toffee pudding). We were also disappointed in the lack of a wine list, it would have been good to know exactly what our choices were.

Have visited several times and always previously had good traditional pub food and service. However, having taken my elderly parents for a birthday lunch this weekend, we had a really poor experience. We booked in advance to ensure we could be accommodated as my parents are very frail. We ordered our food choices, which took over an hour to appear, and were served in dribs and drabs, so the first people had cool food by the time the last had been served. Out of our family group of seven, four were served meals of usual quality, but three had really poor meals. Two had the burgers where the meat had been incinerated and dried to a crisp, and the third was a Cajun chicken burger that was a very thin slice of chicken breast that was totally dehydrated and leathery. Under normal circumstances we would have returned the meals but my father’s 91st birthday lunch was already spoiled by this time and we didn’t want any further disruptions. Needless to say we didn’t stay for coffee and dessert. I so hope this was just a bad day as we like to support our local businesses and had good lunch visits in the past.

My local pub, a few minutes walk away. A great village pub in a large town. The price of beer needs to be lower though to make me visit more often.

Great atmosphere in this very old pub on Tarring High Street. Very traditional feel inside and the locals are usually very friendly. Good selection of local ales but not much in terms of craft beer

Visited this well established village public house this Wednesday 13 March 2024 lunchtime but it was not as good as in the past. The cost of a pint of Harvey's bitter beer was an outrageous £5.20, at least 50p more than contemporaries. The pub was cold and we kept our jackets on throughout our stay. There is no food available on two days per week and served on only one evening per week. The beer was in good condition, as it should be and despite a modest 'footfall' the ambiance was pleasant. Overall a somewhat disappointing visit with a slightly generous 3 stars awarded.

We noticed this pub when visiting a restaurant nearby and thought it looked promising so later booked a Sunday lunch there. As soon as we walked in we could tell that it was a popular 'local' as it was very busy even though we had found room to park in the car park. We all had the roast beef and we very happy with our choice. In particular the roast potatoes were the best I've had out for a very long time. The pub has a good range of beers including Harvey's Sussex Bitter and, on this visit, another of my favourites, Timothy Taylor Landlord Bitter. The staff were friendly and very efficient and we had a thoroughly enjoyable visit. We even won some steaks in the meat raffle!

We booked the G&D for a 40th birthday and it was fantastic. We were a large group of 12 but everything went smoothly. The meals were all great and freshly prepared. Loved all the Xmas lights they had up too. Lyn the owner and Richard the kitchen manager were both lovely and checked in with us regularly, which I really appreciated. Huge thank you to them both and all the other staff!

Came here with a group of people on a walking tour of Tarring which is a fabulous village of Worthing. Cream tea was provided in this lovely pub. I understand it’s not something they usually do and it was fantastic. If this was anything to go by then I expect their food is very good. I will go for a Sunday roast next time!

Bit of an odd one, this. I've been using the G and D for many years, but last night just wasn't the same as usual. It was about 9/9.15 on a Friday evening and the pub was almost empty (I didn't check the garden out). Half of the pub was in darkness and instead of background music playing, they had the radio on (always odd for a pub in my mind). It was just ok.

Turned up midweek with a friend to talk work/life....7 to 10pm ish. No big screen tv's showing sports etc. No loud music, the only loud thing were some younger guys at the dartboard, no big deal, they were having a good time minding their own business,...remember some noise can make your conversation more private! A good mix of age ranges, most people probably locals in pairs. All were friendly. Staff, young lady behind counter, virtually no wait time for drinks. 20 to 30 people in of an evening. Small garden smoking area. Nice place to meet with someone you know!

The management of this 15th Century village pub have used the pandemic to turn this dated local pub into a 21st century quality venue. The staff are extremely friendly and treat even new customers as part of the pub ‘family’. Outstanding food. Great garden with good exposure to sunshine as long as it’s there in the evening. Prices are still reasonable. Totally children and dog friendly.

I ordered the Classic burger but with no salad. But the chef served up salad anyway because he thought the plate looked too plain without it. What a terrible waste of food that I didn't want! So the paying customer doesn't get a say in what they ordered ... The burger was highly spiced and gave me indigestion and phoned the pub to find out what was in it - Cajon flavouring that was not mentioned on the menu. if you're going to mess with a 'classic' burger, please tell people what they are paying £12 for

Orders 2 beef 1 gammon and one just veg ☹️ Dinner turned up immediately (microwave)? However both beef dinners cold . Very disappointed ! Won’t go back. Plus got charged the same for just veg meal as roast meat meal ! Literally a plate of veg ?

Not been here for ages for various reasons due to the way it was being run. However the bullet was bitten and I ventured in. The menu was smaller than what I remember, but this maybe down to the current Covid situation. However in this case less is more. The food we had was tasty and everyone in our party enjoyed what they had. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were not rushed and had a great afternoon. Going back to an earlier comment, the place is still run by the same person/people but they have seemed to have improved on many levels and it was a pleasure going back and it was like meeting an old friend.

This venue is superb - the caterers are fantastic, the gardens lovely and public transport links excellent. Everything is there for a wonderful event. It definitely rates 5 star. However, I do agree with other reviews. There does need to be better signage when you arrive and even finding Reception is a task… even more so, if no one is there……..
