Happy Home in Adur

What a nice friendly pub with great beer. We will b back!

Lovely walk along the seafront in the sunshine to shoreham followed by a Sunday roast. What a perfect way to spend a precious day off. Well it may have been perfect had we chosen a different place for lunch. We sat down and ordered drinks, started chatting only to realise that we were sitting right in front of what turned out to be a performance area for an afternoon entertainer - PA system literally 12 inches from my head. Now I have seen this entertainer before (Black horse - Rottingdean) and he is - er... entertaining, but, and here's the thing, when booking a table, for 8 people for lunch, would it not have been advisable to warn the group that there was going to be loud entertainment and that entertainment would be pretty much on your table. Anyway we decided to get the conversation in quick as the loud music kicked in and we ordered our food - mostly roasts and a couple of 'Mountain' burgers. The waiter was confused at the request for mountain burgers as he was unaware that they were even on the menu. He turned out to be the owner! An owner that doesn't even know what the kitchen is serving - that's a new one on me. Anyway we sat there for an hour awaiting our food trying to enjoy the entertainment and convince the mother-in-law to remove the makeshift paper napkin earplugs she had cleverly constructed. After an hour the waiter/owner came over and said "Sorry no roasts left...nothing I can do about it. Choose something else." An hour - a bloody hour we sat there waiting for our food - to be told that. What a farce! He obviously then sent one of the waitresses over to tell us that we could have any food for free, but by that stage the damage had been done and we decided to leave. A real shame. It's a lovely place - right on the river with a great beer garden but for goodness sake - sort it out. The owner said he's been had the place for a couple of years. I just hope that someone who has a clue about customer service, and knows how to manage a kitchen takes it over soon because I shan't be returning as long as the present owner is cluelessly running the place.

Clean warm good sized rooms and facilities, could do with some hooks in rooms for coats etc., and a reading lamp both sides of double in room 4. Friendly, nice bar and lounge quirky in a good way, lovely well kept ales, right within stones throw of all the best of Shoreham, close to station, walking distance to Galleria Italian restaurant, nice area around church, and the Ropetackle Arts Centre...

The menu was slightly unclear. I thought I was ordering a sandwich it turned out to be a light bite. It wasn’t a great light bite. Menu description chicken, chorizo with baby mashed potatoes and chilli and tomato sauce. When my food arrived I first thought ok it looks good I’ll give it ago not a sandwich as first thought. From the description the baby potatoes were not mashed all 7 appeared whole. The chilli and tomato sauce hmm I think the chef forget the chilli it was just like tomato puree over the top. Not what I expected and not great or tasty the chicken tasted like rubber and chorizo was tough. I ate it as we were a birthday party but would not eat again. Staff very friendly just food let us down.

Would just like to thank all of the staff at the Royal George especially Debbie are waitress for the fantastic service that we had this evening for my daughters 13th birthday dinner. The staff made such a special effort and even made my daughter a heart-shaped pizza, Which made my little girls day!! I would highly recommend anybody going here to eat the food was all lovely and cooked very well. The staff all saying happy birthday to my daughter, which was a really nice touch Once again, thank you to you all we will be visiting again.
