Murrell Arms Pub in Arun - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is about prats that park outside the pub it's dangerous and should be stopped if you don't know why then you are stupid

This is very local to me. I love its 1940/50 look and feel. Very traditional. It is a Fullers pub - they always have good pubs and beer. A garden in the back to enjoy in summer. Plenty of entertainment on here.

We have just eaten the best chilli ever ! £8 with all the extras in a good old fashioned pub. Great clean service and money well spent. Dog friendly, my boy was given dog treats and fresh water. Beer as good as always 👌

What a great pub serving food on a daily basis and now in the evenings has the great BIG FLAVOUR outside serving one of the best burgers I've tasted for some time with excellent choices Chichen burgers to roast pork and cracking with stuffing and apple sauce yummy and edge crumbs coffee wow good luck on this new addition to tbe murrels aslo friendly staff and a great née manager who offers excellent evenings with comedy nights live music in the newly refurbished barn well done just this village needed 😀 keep up the great work 😀

We visited this pub while staying in the area. Its a lovely little village pub. A Quite small but friendly pub. The staff are friendly and very reasonably priced. A lovely large garden which I’m sure would be lovely to sit in in the summer. Would certainly return again when we visit the area.

Popped down to the fantastic Murrell Arms on Sunday lunchtime for a few drinks and roast, with all Covid measures properly adhered to. The weather was beautiful so we were able to sit in the spacious and green garden and they were more than happy to bring food to us out there. The roasts themselves were exquisite - absolutely huge meals, brilliant range of meats and a veg option, really great trimmings and a first rate cauliflower cheese too. The pub is one of the most obviously and proudly historic in the area - the walls are covered with memories, paintings, inscriptions and tributes, with a plaque explaining the history and an even higher level of service inside. A genuine atmosphere, not pretentious and a real village pub. Not many pubs like this any more, but thank god the Murrell is still here. Love this place.

Visited twice at lunchtimes in the past few weeks. The only pub in Barnham now, sadly. This pub was legendary for years, mainly because of the family that ran it. That's changed. The first visit; nothing wrong with the beer but the main group at the bar 'ffying loudly with old folks in the bar, including ladies. Bar staff said nothing. I drank up & left. 2nd visit; same thing, largely by regulars, again nothing said. I'm no prude, work in heavy industry & sadly swear too much but not in this environment. Not acceptable in this day & age. Won't be returning unless very thirsty, whilst waiting for a late train again.

Often passed the Murrell Arms and always wanted to stop as looked an interesting pub. Yesterday we went there for lunch and what a fascinating place. It was like a step back in time with archive photos, postcards, newspaper cuttings and tools covering the walls and ceiling. They had a bar game in the public bar that I had never seen or heard of before, after over 50 years of visiting pubs. Ring on the Bull. A metal ring from a Bull's nose is on the end of 6 foot of rope, attached to the ceiling, The player then aims at the bulls head on the wall, trying to get the ring onto a hook by the Bulls nose, the ring swings in a gentle arc towards the bull. One local took 7 attempts then another took 2! The lady behind the bar was very friendly, as were the locals on our side of the bar. A lovely welcome. The small menu was interesting and a client was tucking into a lovely looking Ham, Egg and Chips. We had a Jacket Potato with Cheese and Beans, plus the Ribs and Chicken Wings, recommended by the Barmaid. Both were very good and very tasty, especially my spicy wings and ribs. The only small criticism on the food, is that the tomatoes in both salad accompaniments were rather soft. The only minor criticism of the pub, was that the open fire was not lit on a cold February day. I wish The Murrell Arms was my local, and would love to return soon, to the pub as they used to be. With a good welcome, interesting company and conversation, good beers and unpretentious, traditional, tasty pub food.

Great Sunday Lunch, Great Sevice and excellent value. Give the Murrells a try, you wont be dissappointed

Roast Beef, two Yorkshire puddings, red cabbage, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, ROASTED POTATOES and the most delicious gravy ever ! Will definitely return

Fabulous Hot Chicken Wings with Hand Cut Chips and Homemade Coleslaw - Delicious. The Lager and Ale is superb and the cosy atmosphere in front of the welcoming fire was just perfect.

New owners are doing a great job. The Murrell is back as the quality village pub that it’s always been.

Fantastic dinner! Came in for dinner with a friend and very impressed with the high quality food on offer. The meat is from the butchers across the road and everything is home cooked. So pleased this historical pub serves such excellent food.

Went to this pub on our way to Chichester hotel lovely pub bar maid was so friendly made my partner and I feel so welcome will be going back

was just passing through after helping friends with a house move in yapton pub was a bit empty.a bit like the atmostphere only had a lemonade as I was driving back to Portsmouth the owner was certainly a bit drunk I think he drinks the profits talking to a man in there who is a regular said it is only busy on Friday nights and there used to be live music but the profits are low and the only thing that keeps it open is its listed building status.

traditional pub with really good ale and service .Quirky garden and a car park Did try the food but looks like traditional pub grub

great little Pub with good ale friendly staff .Quierky garden Didnt eat but looks like they do do food

Excellent meal - Roast Pork, very tasty potatoes and parsnips served by very friendly staff. Exceptional low price.

the only pub in barn ham.......very overpriced need to improve in these area's food and drinks over the top ..

Had been in this pub early evening and then tried to return later on to listen to a band. We planned to sit in the outside area as we had a couple of kids with us. Landlord on realising we became very aggressive and quoted some legislation from 2003 that turned out didn’t exist and said legally kids couldn’t be on the premises including the outside area. Law isn’t from 2003 but the one I think he meant relates to unaccompanied children which clearly they weren’t. Obviously at Landlords discretion to allow who he wants in his pub but at least be honest

Visitamos para conocer un amigo que vive en la localidad. Solía ser dirigido por "el Swerve Merv" y su buena esposa Daphne, ambos de los cuales eran bien conocidos por sus idiosynscracies. Ahora es administrado por una pareja de ex militares que han prohibido muchos de los ex-clientes habituales. Otros, no para asistir a más. Ya que es el único pub en personas barnham patronise. Sin embargo, la cerveza estaba bien cuidado y presentado, pero está claro que la conformidad está a la orden del día.

This is one of the last real pubs about. A real family business. Live music, beautiful garden and food coming later on in the summer

Brilliant traditional Pub. Very warm and friendly welcome. Lovely landlord. Good beer too! Hope to be back soon

A nice pub with a friendly landlord. The locals included us in the banter and made us feel welcome. This is a great pub to use if travelling by train as it is only a few minutes walk from the station.

Found myself stuck at Barnham train station for an hour. Someone suggested i popped down to this pub for a cold drink on a very hot day. It was a lovely way to spend a little while...sat in the courtyard in the sunshine. Lovely!

The pub has been through rather an upheaval in recent years. Following the death of "Merv the Swerve" and retirement of his good lady Daphne, there have been a few landlords/ladies. The latest is a proudly ex-REME (Army) gent who while not on a charm offensive keeps a clean establishment with well maintained beer pipes. Many original faces and some new ones with a lot of former comrades of the landlord now frequenting. Nice atmosphere.

Love this hidden gem. Beautiful cosy gardens and friendly staff. I know this is odd but I really like their wine glasses. Thin rimmed not the thick ones you get in some pubs. Makes all the difference to a cold Savignon Blanc! Food wasn't available but when we asked they kindly let us bring our own fish and chips. Which I think was ingenious, we would have happily paid a cover charge for this service.

Met friends there to have a drink and lunch on Sunday but no food available. No people there , Garden looks unkempt. While having a drink some guy decided he would mow the lawn while we were sitting in the garden.

Just had a lovely sunday lunch roast beef then fun in the bar playing play your cards right didnt win

Was in the area and this pub was highlighted to me by Trip Advisor.. Wish I had my phone turned off! Walked in, the smell of piss and bleach hit the back of the throat just about the same time the disgusting looking chap at the bar dribbled into his own pint!.. We made a quick exit to the garden... 3 of the 4 fizzy drinks were flat, we quickly downed the drinks and escaped quick sharp..

I've enjoyed visiting this friendly boozer in Barnham over the past year or so. The landlord is a nice bloke and his beer is well looked after. The saloon bar is full of tat that you can spend hours looking at.

Myself and 4 mates called into the Murrell Arms for a quick pint and ended staying there all day. The staff, landlord and regulars treated us with open arms. The chef had left, so one of the locals brought in food, which included lamb chops, roast pots along with loads of extras, all out of kindness, and no money was asked for. There was a raffle, where there was good fresh local meat to be won, then later in the day we played a version of play your cards right. Rhianna, the barmaid was very friendly and the landlord generously got in a round for us. This just does not happen these days, so visit this pub and experience a day with new fiends.

We were staying locally for a few days and looked this pub up to go for a drink. It is a really nice place, lots of old charm about it and very friendly.We did not eat just had a nice relaxing drink in the sun in the garden with a good beer, we will go back again when in the area.There is a car car park on the side of the pub.EnjoyJ & M

We visited The Murrell Arms Pub yesterday. A beautiful pub in a lovely village. As we walked in the locals greeted us like old friends. We sat in the public bar which is crammed full of old curiosities to look at. Although the menu isn't large there's plenty of food to choose from. I decided on sausages, homemade mash with fresh vegetables and a gorgeous onion gravy. We didn't have to wait a long time for our meals and they were all piping hot! The bar maid/waitress was very friendly and checked with us half way through our meals to see if everything was satisfactory which I always like. At the end of our meal the chef came and spoke to us to ask us about our meal, again a very nice touch. We all enjoyed our lunch in a quaint, homely pub. Some evenings they have live bands on - I will certainly try to come back for that especially in the summer where you can sit in their pretty beer garden. Would throughly recommend this pub to anyone wanting a delicious home cooked meal in cosy surroundings. Can't wait to visit again

I had a meal last Saturday night with my wife and 5 fiends and the food was fantastic. I ordered the ribeye steak and it was cooked perfectly. The chef Ian does a really good job and the food is always fresh and prepared to order. Mandy and Joe do a great job at making everyone feel welcome and create a very friendly atmosphere for all who go there.Best regards,The big fellow

Called in while I was waiting for my train. Short walk round the corner and under the bridge from the station. Lovely old style English pub full of authentic character. Friendly welcome from locals and landlord. Looking forward to my excuse to go back for longer.

Just had a meal there food was excellent price was good great atmosphere joe and Mandy brilliant landlords will be back on Saturday with family very good chef will ask how you like your food and check it was ok

Called in on a cold & wet Sunday afternoon. The reception we recieved most certainly warmed us up. The food was very good, but even better than that the Guinness was superb. The landlord (think he was called Joe) really takes pride in his beer & is most welcoming. We were only going to stop for one before driving home, well that didn't last.....I stopped for quite a few (although I did get a stiff ear bashing of the Mrs) it was worth it.This pub is a wonder of 'olde' school Britain, you must visit if only to marvel at the decor & play 'ring the bull' & bar billiards......Will most definately visit again.

This is a traditional pub with fantastic atmosphere, very welcoming and exactly what a local pub should be. I visit regularly on a Sunday to enjoy good music, good company and fantastic landlord and landlady and most of all a good pint. Anyone who does not enjoy this pub should stay home.good food now also being served.

Not quite sure where all the negativity is coming from, this pub is brill and so much fun to be in. Mandy and Joe always make you feel more than welcome. A lot busier than past times surrounded by friendly faces and great music! Absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone:)

This pub has good beer and good food and a great atmosphere I believe the bad comments about this pub is a personal dig at the landlord I personally think the pub is great with polite staff

Abhorrent - disgusting language being shouted across the pub by the landlord. No atmosphere in here any more.Just plain awful and rude.

My family have been to The Murrell Arms now on several occasions, we found the Pub to be a perfect village retreat; warm, welcoming, clean and safe. The rustic charm of this pub and it's rich local history, set amongst beautiful gardens and an impressive vine garden make The Murrell Arms a perfect escape.The future of the Pub is surely set to be preserved and enhanced with regular live entertainment, auctions, meat raffle, Morris Dancing displays, guest ales and more, most of all, a management team that cares about it's community and the quality of the beer! A finer pint of Guinness I have never had (and I have travelled to Ireland). Joe and Mandy have restored the Pub to a thriving social hub where people can relax with a good drink in good company, and before long you will also be able to enjoy quality food when the kitchen has been completely renovated. The future of The Murrell Arms is in very good hands, and I for one will return through the seasons, to sit and while away the hours in Summer amongst the beautiful gardens and fruit laden vines, through to taking refuge in the Bar in Winter by a warming fire, with quality home cooked food and a great pint, and most of all - a warm welcome.The potential of The Murrell Arms is becoming realized and if you are passing, transiting through the train station, vacationing or simply curious drop in and experience the very best of British.

I drove past recently and took my wife and kids into this little pub, we were welcomed by the friendly staff and had a really nice time, I will be going back when I'm next in the area!

having driven past this lovely little pub for years, we decided to go in for a Sunday afternoon drink, What a fantastic atmosphere with a small 2 piece knocking out some of my favorites. Joe and Amanda are doing a fantastic job as new tenants and have certainly put life back into this small but comfortable little gem. I believe they will be doing food soon so look forward to that. very well worth a visit.

Walked passed earlier in the day and landlord saw me looking at the board told me that the band in later were very good and please come and see later. Wasn't disappointed they were not your average pub duo, they were excellent. A new landlord who is making the effort to welcome new customers. Predominately a locals pub but very friendly locals and very good staff. No food at this time as new landlord is in the progress of refurbishing the kitchens. If the food is half as good as the welcome you won't be disappointed.

Staying in the area we thought we would call in for a drink wish I hadn't bothered went into the bar as saloon bar was in darkness just being lite by candles so ordered 2 drinks 1 pint cider plus gin and tonic the guy behind the bar asked do want to make it a double like a fool I agreed £10.60 after thinking about it he said he had a problem with the new till an still charged me £10.20 still seems very expensive for bar prices

I must have driven past this pub hundreds of times and never gone in. We wanted a Sunday roast and our usual pub was closed due to an accident. The pub is very rustic on the inside, split into a public and saloon bar. The clientele had clearly got their eye in and had been there for a while. We opted to sit outside and ordered 3 roasts. At £6.95 I felt it was good vaue and with 3 drinks the bill was just shy of £28. The food was tasty and a good portion, we ate and made our way home. I'd return, but I won't linger in the bar.

Very nice pub good food Clean nice garden friendly staff fit barmaid good Selection of wine and ale will go agen :)
