Snooty Fox Bar in Arun - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My wife and I had a three course meal in the bar and the food, service and staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit

Sunday lunch was OK here, but there was very little atmosphere and the staff - whilst perfectly pleasant and attentive - weren't fully on the ball. E.g. we had to ask for a wine list, salt and pepper, sugar for the coffee etc. That said, the roast dinners were tasty and the portion size good. It was a bit over priced given it was slightly disappointing.

Great food, great service and at a surprisingly reasonable price. The menu also had interestingly diverse choice of items which was nice to see, with the vast majority of the products local.

Very cliquey and not very nice when I last visited (only my personal opinion). Better pubs to choose in Findon.

We just turned up early evening without booking - Paul showed us in and took our orders - he was extremely pleasant and polite - he informed us that we were early so there may be a little wait - actually the service was quick and attentive - the food was delicious- we had the Sunday roasts - cooked to perfection!! Reasonably priced - relaxed atmosphere- a very enjoyable evening. Paul appeared to take pride in his work and went out of his way to make our dining experience enjoyable- thank you Paul!!!

The atmosphere was very welcoming and the staff were polite and attentive, the food was very nice and the whole experience was very positive. The only downside was that there appeared to be a large number of customers with Groupon vouchers. From what I gather these only gave a reduction in the price and did not cover the whole cost of any of the customers in the restaurant during our visit. I would prefer that these so called deals were dropped and a fairer priced menu was set. I am sure that with the quality of service offered such incentives are not really necessary.

Our meal at the Snooty Fox was very disappointing. My starter of smoked salmon cubes was so tiny it was an utter disappointment and the pate my husband had was completely tasteless. Also the table hadn’t been set up properly even though it wasn’t busy. We had to request cutlery and napkins as it seemed to be overlooked by the staff! My main course was nothing special but the other main course of sausage & mash consisted of 2 small sausages on top of mash and nothing else not even veg! All for £13.95 - the other mains were about £1.00 more but a least you had a proper meal including veg. A very disappointing visit to a local restaurant and unfortunately we will not be going. back.

Love love love. What great food and perfect, attentive service from Wendy and Matthew. My fav was the smoked duck served with wild berry's and poached pair!

We eat here every two to three months and have never been disappointed. A varied menu of good food well presented.

We had afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast (not all on the same day!) The adjoining hotel is very poor, but the food here saved our weekend.

We arrived for lunch, mid week at 1. Only one other couple dining. We were asked what we wanted to drink while actually taking off coats prior to sitting. The rest of the service was not so rapid! On wanting to leave and pay it was necessary to stand at the bar and shout into the kitchen, although we had requested the bill 5 minutes earlier. The waitress was very pleasant. The food was OK, although not exceptional, Veg were VERY firm.

A small bar/restaurant with comfortable seating. The food was excellent and very hot. The staff were attentive and very pleasant.

Very good dining experience, food was lovely and the staff were also tip top. Didn't wait long and glad I stayed

Never been before though lived nearby for years. What a lovely cosy bar/restaurant. Had a fantastic lunch. All courses served were beatifully presented and absolutely delicious. The waitress (it was a Tuesday) was a lovely friendly person, an asset to the place. Have booked again for a Sunday with friends. So nice to find somewhere with full menu for Sunday not just roast dinners though they do that as well. A definite firm favourite for us now.

A small restaurant with a well appointed bar a comfortable dining area and a not to large a menu.All meals came up to expectations,starters of Scotch eggs and a smoked salmon salad,followed by Haddock fillet and Sirloin steak all washed down with some reasonable priced wine.will visit again when we are in the village to see friends.

A nice comfortable bar that not only serves drinks, but good food as well. Is located at the Findon Manor Hotel.

I'd say good if you're staying at the hotel; a little odd or awkward if you are just passing through.

Mientras se aloje en el Findon Manor Hotel tuvimos una comida en el Snooty Fox. Es bastante pequeño con unas pocas mesas, pero el servicio era estupendo y la comida era excelente. Parece que tienen un muy buen Chef aquí, y se notaba en la comida.

Mis padres estaban alojados en la mansión a la que el bar The Snooty Fox es adjunto. Mi novia y yo nos alojamos 50 metros así que organizó para reunirse para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi madre. Por desgracia no fue una buena experiencia. Mi madres entrante y plato principal llegamos al mismo tiempo, su sopa estaba tibia y ella no era siempre con una cuchara de sopa. Mi arranque se suponía que iba a ser servida con Pan granary, pero que no se materialicen. Mi principal de pollo era muy normal en el mejor. Mi novia tenía un bistec y tarta de hongos. El llenado era buena pero la pastelería abastecerse era grande y extremadamente ligero y precario, prácticamente incomible. Pedí un café y menta fuera del menú en lugar de postre. El café llegó bastante rápidamente pero no con menta. Tuve que pedir de nuevo para ellos. Mi madre no quería un escándalo, así que celebré mi lengua de lo contrario me hubiera dado la gerencia un pedazo de mi mente. La factura fue de alrededor de £120 + 18 por una botella de vino tinto. No gran relación calidad-precio teniendo en cuenta. Estas cosas pueden ser exigente pero todos ellos sumados.

We had a nice lunch, served by friendly staff who show an interest in whether you enjoyed your meal or not.

Llama aquí después de un día ajetreado, el efecto final de nuestro día. Una buena cena, servido por un personal amable que eran muy acogedores y agradables. Conocí a unos cuantos de la aldea local asiduos y terminamos gastando mucho más tiempo de lo planeado en el restaurante conocer aquellos que conocimos. Una gran noche, espero volver algún día.

Tuvimos una comida aquí la noche antes de la boda de mi hija ya que nos quedamos en la mansión. La mayoría de nosotros tenía la pastel casero que era delicioso y el servicio fue bueno y excelente relación calidad-precio.

Llamado el domingo a probar su teca localmente", pero anuncian descubrí que sólo sirve en lunes. Así que, aunque no decidimos tener un lugar de almuerzo.

Lento, mala atención al cliente. La comida estaba bien, cuando la tortilla salió tuvimos que preguntar donde estaba la ensalada de acompañamiento. El camarero dijo que iba a ir y comprobar y volvimos con… "lo siento, me olvidé de '

dit is een omweg waard om daar te blijven eten en zeker de keuze is groot voor zo een klein dorp met een leuke pub

Four of us ate in the bar on the bank holiday weekend. The menu looked great, what followed was not!I asked for some salad leaves instead of pickles with my goats cheese starter. The waiter informed me the kitchen had no salad. I asked for a bread roll and was advised I'd have to wait 10 minutes. When the roll arrived I asked for butter which came as a pool on the plate. Two of us had the fish and chips. Soggy batter and worse chips in ages.I'm sorry to say that this lovely hotel has gone downhill in recent years and any comments to staff or management are met with indifference. I suspect they are only interested in wakes or weddings.

A very pleasant place to drop into for quiet conversation and a well served meal or light snack. Particularly recommend the Sussex sausage sandwich which goes down very well with a pint of beer. More extensive meals are also served in the Snooty Fox,but as the tables are rather smll we tend to use it for bar food at lunch time. If you like an Old English atmosphere this place has it in spades

We are regulars - mainly for the beer and cappuccino - and drive past three pubs to get there. Staff are excellent and good atmosphere; no booming music and very seldom screaming kids. Every time we have eaten, it has been excellent. On this visit, their wonderful duck was nowhere to be seen, so ordered scampi and chips. How can they make scampi taste THAT good?

Family plus old friend lunch. Great sandwiches and chips and soup and friendly service. A little chilly but warmed by fan heater helpfully provided

Excellent choice of pub staples but including healthy alternatives & lovely puds. A comfortable, friendly atmosphere & prompt service.

So nice to arrive here with the thought of great food I been here many times food always consistent and friendly just one Moan the service is a bit dull and need to smile a bit

I visited the Snooty Fox bar on a weekday a few days before Christmas, as a party of four. The bar was quiet, and the service was average for a quiet day. We sat down for lunch at our table, but were told by one waitress to order our drinks at the bar. A few minutes later, another waitress came over and asked us for our drinks order. We ordered our drinks and food, the starters came relatively quickly. We ordered 2x garlic prawns and a salmon mousse. We asked for bread and butter, and the waitress asked 'what do you want the bread and butter with?' to which we laughed and said 'everything!' The salmon mousse lacked salmon flavour and was hard - not mousse like at all. When the main courses came, one had to be returned as the vegetables were hard. The waitress said 'they were al dente' but they were more raw than al dente. We declined desserts based on our experience of the previous two courses, we ordered coffee which was also disappointing. The cappuccinos lacked froth and tasted very strong - almost undrinkable. We then had to wait about 15 minutes before we could pay our bill because the only person working by this point was showing other guests around the venue.Overall a very disappointing visit across all aspects, we won't be returning.

Very nice pub meal in the Snooty Fox bar. Pie & mash. The food was not overpriced either. Drinks seemed a bit expensive though, & the overall meal came out quite expensive.Unfortunately, when we were part way though paying for our evening, we were then told that we had to pay a gratuity.No one minds paying a tip for good service but we were a bit taken aback by being asked for one.So in summary, good food, good service, but beer a little dear and a mistake by management costs the overall score a couple of points.

Tasty sandwich good chips. Good refreshing cup of tea. Not cheap but freshly cooked. Waitress friendly

Visited with my friend for a spot of lunch, the service from the young people that seem to operate this place was just awful. The food took a lifetime to show and when it finally appeared it was a let down.

What a shame! As regular visitors and locals we have enjoyed eating here for over a year. The table was not set properly. The waitresses seemed untrained and unsure of what to do .Our meal was cut short with hordes of people viewing the venue for a wedding whilst trying to eat our lunch. It was not the dining experience you would expect and sadly we all left without finishing our meal disaster! The Manager on duty Luke was completely ineffectual and appeared only interested in the possible wedding booking. We really like supporting our local restaurants/ businesses but sadly we will not be returning anytime in the near future.

Stayed at Findon Manor overnight as attending a family funerl. Lovely place, helpful staff, lovely rooms, very confortable beds, good food - excellent stay.

Very interesting menu ..all tastes catered for. Wonderful choice defiantly cooked to order...it was a Sunday evening and we were delighted with the choices available .

This restaurant is attached to Findon Manor Hotel, but is also open to the general public. The menu was good, although not too extensive and the food when it came was well presented and the portion size was just right. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly.

This was a terrible experience very noisy group and the mangement when asked to deal refused. Food was equally horrible this was not just an off day but I suspect they only catch diners once.

Great choice, well cooked food, pleasant surroundings, reasonable prices. I had goats cheese tart, followed by calves liver - delicious. Good service and the chef is prepared to cook something off the menu if the is nothing within the wide choice that takes your fancy.

Really nice hotel, nice decor, good atmosphere, situated in a quaint country village. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was very good. The only downside is the wifi or lack of wifi in the hotel - travelling on business - I need access to wifi in my room. Wifi is not a luxury - it's a utility - I had to keep going down to reception to work - a big pain. This would be a very easy issue to resolve.

Nice quiet bar in a beautiful village. excellent service from attentive staff and a superb menu beautifully prepared. Heartily recommended.

We ate as a group of five on a weekday. The restaurant was not open and we ate in the bar. There was little by way of friendly or relaxed ambience and I found the setting somewhat dated. In the nearly two hours we were there, there was only one other couple who called in for sandwiches and a drink. Service was friendly and efficient if not particularly welcoming.When I eat out I normally look for something a little different - perhaps something I would not have at home. However, none of us found the menu particularly inspiring. Soup, mackerel, goats cheese tart, cod, plaice, gammon, burger, sausages, steak,etc.......There was limited availability of some starters (eg ham croquettes).The scampi was far from top quality and the batter on one cod had been so overdone it was almost solid.Some of the strawberries in my 'Eton Mess' had seen better days!Based on some of the other reviews perhaps we were just unlucky on the day however based on this visit I would not recommend or return.

lovely tasty food and well presented - I had the pork chop with lovely fresh vegetables. Dessert was my favourite crème brulee with shortbread - absolutely delicious and lovely quick service.

Friendly and well-trained staff, decent house wine. Good overall, slightly let down by dingy and not entirely clean male toilet

We were very disappointed with the meat roasts on mothering sunday. Tough and tasteless. Everything else was fine. The staff were attentive.There is no toilet for the disabled, the existing ones are so narrow a wheelchair cannot get into them.

Dog friendly. Food cooked and presented to a high standard. Clean, comfortable. Friendly helpful staff. Booked table through Reception. Prices average with an automatic 10% service charge included. Worth it.

Starters were nice but a tad small at the price. After the starter we expected small meals again for the mine but this was not the for the main. The rest of the food was great just let down slightly by the slightly small over priced starters

Excellent and attentive service. The food was extremely enjoyable in pleasant surroundings. Enjoyed the company of two friendly locals and their little dog.

As we needed cheering up we drove off the main highway through Findon village and stopped at this nice looking bar/restaurant - part of a country hotel. After a poor greeting we were served drinks and a lunch menu was produced. The service improved after that. We both opted for the home made beef and mushroom pie and it was good. As we had deserts and coffee at home we paid up and left, the hospital forgotten so it served bits purpose.

I enjoyed great service during my stay there. As I am from down under it was great to catch up with some decent beer, especially the Harveys. Bar food was excellent I had the croque monsieur which reminded me of my time in France. During my stay the hotel hosted a small recption for me which was beautifully prepared and served wll but unobtrusively.

had dinner here on a Saturday night. Pleasant bar in a hotel in lovely down land village. Food is definitely stylish and beautifully presented. My belly pork with carrot purée and some sort of French roast potatoes and black pudding was served on a slate with some delicious concentrated gravy/jus? In a small jug. Wasn't sure about the skate being a bit of an old fogey but the whole meal was absolutely delicious! I am a convert!!

This is a cosy bar in the Findon Manor hotel. We just had some drinks in the Snooy Fox bar so I cannot comment on the food. Just a small selection of ales available, but this is a nice quiet comfortable bar to sit and relax in, and the staff are really very pleasant indeed.

We visited for an impromptu lunch today without a booking. The bar is small and intimate and service was efficient and friendly. My husband recommends the pheasant main course and I recommend white chocolate torte for pud. We will be back!

Small and intimate, warming atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. The detail in the food is really good and every taste catered for. Highly recommended.

Lovely quiet bar, with great staff.. Nice beer, just right to seat and read the paper and watch the world go buy..

We enjoyed the menu choices and my husband especially liked the draught beers on offer. Good service, fresh food .

Fresh food from a select menu, which I like as it means the chef is not juggling too many pots and less can go wrong. My evening meal was excellent.

What can I say, the food was mouthwatering, filling and was a pleasure to relax and enjoy in a non formal dining area.

Great way to meet and mingle with locals. Good food from the bar all freshly cooked and preparedBar staff were always very friendly, if not always behind the actual bar!

Eight of us had a selection of steaks and salmon and were very pleased at the quality of the food.They had a good real ale on tap and some nice wines but the spirit selection (particularly gin) was very poor.Overall a very pleasant evening with a good meal and friendly service.

I visited for a function which was held in the bar of this hotel and really enjoyed both the place and the food. Having never visited before and checking here before I visited I was a little worried but I understand there is a new owner, new menu and new kitchen staff so maybe that is why things have improved so dramatically.I will definately visit again and if its as good second time as first it will become one of our 'great places to meet up'. Marked Atmosphere and Bar scene as average as it was a function so can't say if normally good or bad.

The bar has been stripped of any atmosphere with table tops badly marked and requiring a coat of varnish. No tables were laid with cutlery. The bar was deserted when we arrived at 12 noon and remained so until we left after 1pm. We ordered a SirLoin steak, rare, from the main menu and a curry from the chalk board specials. There was no curry. instead we asked for muscles, a special. No muscles. Then the whole specials menu was wiped clean. Fish and chips instead from the main menu. The Hadock was no more than a thin slice with nice batter. At £9 not expensive but the portion was dry and minuscule. The steak should have been rare but was dry, wafer thin and "well done". It was accompanied only by chips, flat mushroom and tomato all ok, but no salad or other vegetables. At £13 it was not expensive but a poorly prepared meal not cooked as requested. Petite fois were offered as an apology and arrived but were shop bought and sickly. The room was cold on arrival with a cheap electric imitation wood burner standing in front of a real wood burner stove. We had to ask for some heat but the room never really warmed up made worse by the cold soul less atmosphere of a deserted restaurant/bar. The waiter was nice enough but fighting against a poorly performing chef and management seemingly incapable of creating a decent eating experience.

This could be a very attractive bar but it is such a dreary place with hard seating, no ambience and was very cold.The service is very good with a very limited food choice.( but expensive). Do not go out of your way to visit.
