Onslow Arms in Chichester

As the only pub in Loxwood, with a traditional 'pub' feel, including open fire, family and pet friendly, an enormous 'plus' is the restaurant which specializes in 'smokehouse' meats. This was our second visit to the Onslow since its rebranding and the quality of the fare and experience as a whole was consistent. This has now become our 'go to' pub/restaurant of choice. Long may they continue.

Lovely pub went with family. Staff and service very friendly and responsive. Roast beef was delicious , one of the best I've ever had. Portions are generous, felt guilty with wastage ! If you haven't been for Sunday lunch then you've been missing out !

Christmas lunch for a group of 18. The food and service were was superb. You won’t go hungry, that’s for sure. The meals were large and they even gave us doggy bags for the excess meat. If you like hot and spicy, try the chicken wings with the hot ba**ard sauce. Delicious and lip tingling.

We arrived gone 8pm without a booking and was well catered for by the efficient staff. My party of 5 were more the happy with all our meals and the Onslow Arms maintains one of my favorite pubs in the area

Staff very attentive and efficient. Had sandwich lunch which was very good. Would definitely visit again, preferably in the spring/summer to do the canal walk.

Fabulous pub grub, very welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. Sunday roast beef was really good, cauliflower cheese was a great side.

Great place to go for a walk and then end if the pub! Roaring fires and if you sit outside they have goats and a kids play area, great selection of beers and staff are friendly and helpful

Celebrated the close of my 60th birthday weekend with a walk and roast. We were a large group and our booking was dealt with very efficiently. Everything booked beforehand, food came out together, was all lovely and hot, and very delicious. Thanks to all the staff who were all friendly and helpful. Wonderful end to a weekend of festivities.

From the outside the Onslow looks a bit scruffy and run down but once inside it is very pleasant. Our Sunday lunches were a bit of a letdown. The smoked duck was excellent but barely warm vegetables and mediocre roast potatoes were a big disappointment. The staff were very chirpy and obliging.

Great little pub. Worth a visit

Wow, this is the best pub food I've had in ages! A cosy fire, attentive staff, and incredibly good grub. Try a Pimms - get almost a pint for £5.50! Definitely coming back here..

Food was OK. Roast were well done BUT swimming in rather salty gravy. Atmosphere is good especially in the summer , sitting by the canal. Plenty parking spaces and lovely walks along the canal.

An enjoyable walk along the canal, followed by a great meal at the Onslow Arms, with a Pimms, perfect on a sunny, autumn Saturday. The food was really good and surprisingly inexpensive. The staff, efficient, and friendly, matching the atmosphere. I'd certainly recommend.

This is a great place for walking, talking, eating and drinking. It is about an hour and a half for us to drive to but it’s the perfect place for us to meet friends in the middle and is so worth it. Dogs are welcome, both inside and outside the pub. The food is delicious and generous portions, they also use Saucy Cow sauces which are delicious also. I absolutely recommend the Onslow Arms .

I love this pub, manager Barney is hot.

What a lovely pub on the side of the canal. Great for dog walking however food was poor. We had a mixture of roasts and other things. Roast was chewy and over cooked, vegetables were soggy and mac and cheese was tasteless. Staff were attentive and really chatty and good. In all Great setting great staff but poor food

My family and I had the most amazing roast here today. The service was great, it had a lovely busy vibe and the food was great! It’s so hard to find a good roast locally but this was outstanding! We can’t wait to come back….. again!

Lovely burgers, atmosphere and location. Well worth a trip out for a walk along the canal followed by a lovely meal. Made to feel very welcome 🍴😘

Stunning Pub in a Wonderful location

My friend had Hunters Chicken which was raw and bloody, and has been ill for the past 24 hours. We sent the chicken back. My scampi was very greasy and I've had awful indigestion for the past 24 hours. 2 beers were off leaving only one choice. The pudding was nice. The female staff were nice enough but the male had real attitude. Would NOT recommend

A great menu, friendly service, and good atmosphere.

Our third visit to the Onslow arms and every time is just wow! The setting, the staff, the food, the goats!! Burgers, Sunday roasts and today, a jerk chicken hot dog, all bases and tastes covered with their own line of delicious sauces. I highly recommend the Pineapple Buffalo sauce and all available to buy on site. Whatever the occasion, whoever the company, I highly recommend the Onslow Arms!

Beautiful setting, staff attentive despite being busy. We were surprised at the food choices on the menu as there was a lack of the regular choices BUT a large variety of burgers. Sadly, we weren't given the lunch menu that can be seen on their website. We ordered starters and mains and although the food was well cooked and tasty, they put their saucy cow burger mayonnaise on the dishes. Whilst I'm not averse to the sauce it has a strong, smokey flavour which I considered overpowered the many lovely flavours. Whilst we felt looked after and all questions answered by the waiting staff, we would return for the scenery but not the food.

It's still lovely a pub. Haven't been for some time. Really nice pub gardens now,making the most of its waterside to canal. Which you can walk along too. Or take a trip on. Didn't eat there but food always use to be good.

Everyone's always raved about this place and despite passing twice a day everyday for a year I'd never been in, finally went down there with my boys and it was lovely. Pints were flat as anything which was dissapointing but the staff atmosphere food and service more than make up for it. Teach your staff how to pour a proper pint and it'd be 10/5 stars

Great meal, varied menu, lots of choice. Sensible priced pint too.

Very busy but still managed to get their covers served in good time, lovely day to eat out and have a drink by the canal. We'll done one and all at the Onslow Arms !!!

Toilets don't have enough lighting , can't see properly

5 of us. 4 had the Sunday Roast...which was delicious! I had the roast lamb. It was tender, tasty & plentiful (a lot of meat)! Everyone was very impressed by both the food & the surroundings (garden is next to a Canal) If we're ever down this way again...will definitely return!

Nice pleasant easy going spot, would definitely recommend 👌🏽

Good quality meal and lots of menu choice. A good atmosphere for a meal out. Service was also good and didn't have to wait to long for food to arrive .

Lovely pub right by the canal, the sun was shining so we enjoyed our views outside. Lots of tables outside if you want a drink/food before or after your walk. I liked the pitta with chicken and my husband enjoyed the chicken burger with cheesy chips. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking too.

Lovely pub great gardens amazing views and wonderful service

Lovely setting. Not cheap ! Pouring expensive lager without holding glass up to tap is a no no. Hectic bar service without clear guidelines.

Lovely old pub on a beautiful canal with lots of outdoor space on a nice day, and good vibes on the inside. Unfortunately the prices are a little steep for what you get but otherwise it's a good spot.

A little more expensive than our usual pub dinner, but a lovely treat. £25ish for a platter of mean/fish with a side. Delicious food and friendly staff.

Visited whilst on holiday this year and 2 years ago as well. Varied menu, suitable for all the family. Lovely location next to the canal, plenty of outdoor seating.

Lovely pub, beautiful beer garden. Food was lovely keep it up guys

Great place. Loads of outdoor seating overlooking the canal and plenty of parking.

Lovely pub on the canal, staff were quick and polite, plenty of outdoor seating

Lovely food, Very pleasant and helpful staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Great food children menu good amount . Lovely for walks. Dogs made very welcome

Stopped here after a walk and opted to have a Sunday roast. I was honestly extremely surprised as the food we had was amazing. I'd say slightly expensive as the roast was £20 but had to pay for cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Absolutely excellent food, fast service, can't really ask for more

If you download the loyalty card, the meal deals are very good value for money. This is a fantastic pub. We enjoyed our visit.

We had the Sunday lunch inside. The food was really good and plentiful! The roast potatoes were the best I have had in a pub. They were nice and crispy and not soggy. The roast pork was lovely and there was also a huge Yorkshire pudding with the meal. A very good Sunday lunch.

Had driven past this pub many times and thought must drop in. Today drove to it for lunch. Great location right next to the canal. Good selection of Badgers Beers. Very friendly bar staff. The beer garden is fantastic right along side the canal. We both ordered a light snack lunch. My wife ordered mackerel pate, dill pickels & toasted Baguette, £8. I had Ciabatta Sandwich , Prawn Morie rose and lettuce £10. My wifes arrived with I think a ciabatta cut in half with a thin layer of pate already spread on it. Whatever the bread was it was not toasted. Mine was the same type of bread with, being generous, a quarter of an inch of the smallest prawns I have ever seen. Such a shame. No staff came to ask how it was which is usually done today. If you just want a drink in a lovely location with great beers and fab. staff, this is a real find, but unless we were unlucky, don't bother with the food.

Situated on next to the river. Great location. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Helpful friendly staff. Sadly let down by poor food

Pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Dreadful food

Customer service at its lowest. Ordered a burger yesterday, took it back to be well done. I’m only assuming he’s manager but his customer service and politeness was shocking, started arguing with me and my partner as to why it was pink in the middle. Came out to show me that burger isn’t not cooked. Proceeded to touch the food with his hands which I asked for a new one. Brought a new one out and made me cut it infront of him to prove it’s the ‘quality of the burger’. He was not listening to us one bit. Very rude and quite condescending. Will never come back here again.

Great outside tables next to the canal. Very good food served by friendly and helpful staff

The pub was lovely and the food was nice. We sat outside as it was a lovely day. When we arrived we did have to stand around waiting for someone to acknowledge us for about 10 minutes and then we finally had to get someone’s attention behind the bar. We tried to order on the website/app but this did not work so we had to go in. We had booked a table, but we were just told to sit anywhere even though tables were clearly reserved. Food was nice pub food. Beautiful surroundings by the canal and lovely service from the waitress. I would definitely go again.

Nice pub in the countryside by the river of a canal. They have a good selection of beers and a pretty common menu by British’s standards. I wasn’t too impressed with the Sunday roast to be honest, the cheesy chips are pretty good.

Such a lovely quaint place. Great atmosphere. Nice beer garden, right by the canal. Spent a great evening there. Would like to visit again. Visited with a friend and my dog, and both were welcome inside 😀

Lovely situation by the canal.Plenty of outside seating .

Rude staff, if you’re not a local you’ll wait to be served, lad with nose ring can’t pour a pint to save his life. Staff very well under trained

Great food and service, good selection of drinks

Lovely country pub by the Amberley to Guildford canal. Nice pint of Badger real ale. Friendly staff. The food was nice, chicken burger, but on the high side. Chips good. The platter on a board would be better with dips in small containers.

If you want good food in a lovely pub look no further

I really like this pub but the drinks prices don’t add up. £6.30 for a pint of lager. Fine in today’s inflation environment. £6.30 for half a lager topped up with lemonade. Not fine. Half a lager I presume is £3.15 and half a lemonade is £2 making it £5.15. Not £6.30 !

Since when should a pint of lemonade out of a postmix dispenser cost £4.20?

We stayed over in our motorhome and the food was soooo good we had lunch, dinner and Sunday lunch the following day! Amazing spot on the edge of the canal. Great food and staff

Need more staff behind the bar. It was queuing outside a few times today

Met there for lunch with friends .Nice atmosphere & good service .Was disappointed with my food, although that was probably my bad choice .Had a meze, which was several types of wet salad .Aside from the humus, which was in a small dish, the rest was on a wooden board .It was a bit messy & awkward to eat .Plenty of pitta, although it could have been less hard .I should have mentioned it, I suppose .Pricey for what it was .Nice chips though . Nice cup of coffee .

Excellent pub, big garden, good beer, very tasty roast and good value overall. Extra star for not forcing a service charge!

Lovely location along the canal, but pity they don't match up to it! Staff needed a lift in the happy dept. Prices for the food were a lot considering the food is not great! Chips are peppery over seasoned Mayo and Ketchup were out of date And the nuts well they were well past it Probably been rolling around under the counter for quite a while as they were served to us in a bowl!! And not a packet as u would have preferred Overall, it's not worth the drive out for food. Take your own and nuts !! Lovely walk down canal on a sunny day The garden has goats 🐐 with some random scaffolding poles holding something up Really random Not much of a slide for kids either Seriously, it needs an improvement on the food and the outside space for kids

First time coming here and was not disappointed at all. The staff were friendly despite the bar being busy when we arrived. They were very attentive during the meal but not overbearing. Glancing the menu I thought it was a bit pricey but when the food arrived it was totally worth it. The quality of food and portion sizes did the price justice. All four of us were more than happy with our experience here

Lovely pub, great staff, great inside and out

A bit costly but given the location,its worth

Always love coming here after walking along the canal for a drink and a bite to eat. Set right by the canal it's very relaxing when the weather is good. Lots of tables and chairs outside. The food is very good and staff helpful. Would definitely recommend

I was impressed with the dining experience at The Onslow Arms. Generous portions, friendly and helpful service and cozy atmosphere, it was a lovely place to rest and be fed after the canal boat trip.

Busy, friendly pub right by the canal what more could you want. Sadly the beer garden is sodden at the moment but if this rain ever stops it will be fine.

Fantastic menu. Nice welcoming pub. Thank you from The Racehorse Sanctuary team

Food is always great... it's in a lovely location. Staff are friendly. Choice of beers isn't my favorite but hey ho.

First visit here for Sunday roast. It was absolutely delicious, loads of roast meat and plenty of vegetables . Will definitely be returning.

I got a classic beef burger which was fantastic and came with a portion of chips that had amazing seasoning. The atmosphere was very lively and the service was very good. I definitely recommend this pub

Nice enough. Pub feels tired. Menu pretty underwhelming and burger and chips definitely overpriced at £16 for what you get. Pretty small compared to other places and very lonely presented with nothing else on a plate. Tasty but let down by hot patty (good thing) with very cold lettuce etc which i think had probably come out of the fridge (bad thing - room tempetature would have been better. At first I thought the patty hadnt been properly cooked until I realised what was cold in the burger). I think I was charged a service charge when I made the order myself at the bar and paid upfront, wasnt checking closely enough. Total bill £42 for 1 x burger and chips (£16) 1 x ribs and chips (£18), 1 x pint orange and lemonade and 1 x pint tap water...

If I could I would give this place a 5+. Amazing food, efficient service and value for money. Thank you

10/10 lovely pub, great food, good atmosphere and all the staff were lovely! I really cannot fault our experience here. Definitely recommend.

We had a family Sunday lunch here and although the table for 11 was booked and food order was emailed to the pub during the week in advance we had to wait over an hour for the table and the food to arrive. The food arrived in dribs and drabs meaning the food was getting cold to those served 1st, who couldn't start eating because the sides and vegetables hadn't arrived. I had the mega roast and the rare red meat was tough to cut and chew with my ageing teeth, had I known the meat was rare as standard I would have asked for medium to well done. I had an upset stomach later that evening and I wonder if that could have caused it, the others who had the same meal didn't have an upset stomach. The smoked half chicken was very peppery and not expected or to the taste of some, for a Sunday roast, consisting of two legs, no brest meat as half a chicken portion would normally be. The staff kept us informed about the delay to be honest and we understood that they were busy.

Great dog friendly pud with a atmosphere serving excellent food

Friendly staff and lovely food.

Enjoyed a nice lunch, reasonably priced and good quality, also had a good selection of beers and ciders.

A warm welcome after our late arrival! Badger brewery on draft, tea coffee and hot chocolate. Will come back for food in the future. Lovely location close to a river and a canal

Very good food in olde worlde pub with lots of character. Canalside tables available

Great location, but suspect parking would be difficult at busy times Food good, although I did find the pulled pork very sweet Worth a visit just yo walk along the canal

Lovely meal with family, great food and warm friendly staff. We all had a brillant day

Great food and service. Warm and welcoming locals. Thank you

13 of us went for lunch for my sisters birthday and we had a wonderful time. The staff were all so friendly and professional and looked after us so well. And it was a welcome relief to get a different kind of pub menu the food was delicious. Only disappointment was that the ribs were a little dry. But everything else perfect and the location stunning - a great playground opposite with goats to entertain the kids after lunch. We look forward to going back.

Tasty food and chilled atmosphere with a long riverside walk nearby to go on before or after. Not bad prices for what you get and most importantly they're dog friendly! Parking is free and has a decent amount of spaces.

A treat for us. Lovely walk along the canal, then Sunday lunch. Huge plate of food and a great deal of meat. Didn't bother with pudding, but I would have liked more choice if I'd had the room. Pub was very busy (lunch time), so i recommend booking.

The Onslow Arms is one of my favorite pubs. It's location is superb - right next to the canal so fabulous for walking. The garden is lovely as is the inside. Food is always great, lots of variety - what I would call decent pub grub - not too fancy, gastro or over priced thankfully.

If you love hot flavours...try the Inferno Burger! It's got epic flavour as well as epic heat!

Appalling. Poor quality tasteless sausage, only 1 bubble and squeak cake comprising pre-cooked stale potatoes and nothing else and onion gravy with only a few slices of onion Well overpriced at £15 Would not revisit nor recommend

We came for lunch with a group of about 20 on 18th October 1 pm. We both had pre-chosen sausage bubble and squeak cake onion gravy. Absolutely appalling to be charged £15 each for meal. The 1 long sausage had no substance nor flavour, the 1 only bubble/squeak cake comprised obviously pre-cooked and left over potatoes and nothing else and the onion gravy had only. 2 or 3 pieces of sliced onion. A total disappointment and you have a cheek to charge £15 for this Jill and Peter Freeborn

Sunday Lunch. Had the most gorgeous lunch , pork belly and roast beef and a really lovely selection of vegetables . Cooked to perfection. Well worth a visit.

The family enjoyed a terrific Sunday lunch here. Portion size & choice were up there with the best we’ve encountered. Great options of sides, which is where most fall down. Lovely beer and a beautiful walk along the canal afterward. The kids enjoyed playing in garden (playframe and goats!) we’ll return

Lovely spot next to the canal and we enjoyed our drinks in the sunshine. Staff very helpful. Are there disabled parking spaces? If there are they were full

Always good service from great staff. Helpful and happy to help Good choice of drinks and food is good at a reasonable cost

Sunday lunch,very disappointing, roast potatoes not roast at all more like deep fried,vegetables lukewarm, not worth the price.
