Swiss Cottage in Adur

Lovely staff. Lovely live singer. Gr8 Christmas atmosphere. Gr8 fish, chips and peas. Gr8 Abbots beer. Clean toilets. What more does anybody want?

Lovely staff, good selection of beer, dog friendly, certainly didbusba turn in December whilst visiting family

We went there for our family Christmas meal and I have to say the food was lovely fresh beautiful cooked .😍 The staff were great really friendly and happy to help, we had 6 kids running around but we were placed nicely round the side so we did not disturb anyone and our little ones could play Thank you so much we would definitely recommend 😊

Great location for a pub. It's the site for our sailing club!

We love it here ... child and dog friendly ... great food ... nothings too much trouble ... clean surroundings and nice outdoor garden, pond and eating area .... top marks for a disabled toilet big enough to manoeuvre a wheelchair, carer and person in.

An enjoyable evening spent at the RNLI quiz there. Great evening, lots of fun and good company. The food was excellent. Spot on.

Food no problem service no problem but the female who showed us too our table had an attitude which I won't go into

Awful roast dinner , carrots were raw and I mean raw, potatoes were frozen ones meat awful, can’t call it cauliflower cheese it was glue , just awful , finished with the microwave cottage

Had a lovely family meal at the Swiss Cottage. Food was great and staff are very welcoming and friendly, will definitely be returning

We popped in on a Sunday lunchtime and were lucky enough to get a table for 5 and the dog. Staff and service were great, friendly. The food was really good, I had the burger and it was superb, we all enjoyed our meal and the puddings.

Service was excellent and the food was extremely good. Our freinds had the fish and chips and told me that it was the best that they had for a long time, the fish was well cooked and moist. My wife had the scampi and she said it was really good too. I opted for the steak and ale pie which was also very good, everything was well cooked and all meals well presented, if I had to find something to say that could have been better, it would be the mash that I opted for instead of chips, it was too thick for my taste, but some might like it that way and you can't cater for everyones taste, it was good none the less so no problems at all. the staff were very attentive. Desert for me was a chocolate bomb which was very good, my wife had eton mess and was impressed with the size of it, she said it was excellent too. One glasse of wine, one double gin and lemonade, one spritzer and two cups of tea for me as the driver and the bill worked out ate about twenty three pounds a head. I'd say that's a win win lunch for us.

We prebooked for a Monday lunch time in October and were given a table in the window overlooking the lake. Friendly staff, extensive menu, good food and excellent value for money. We had a drink each and pie, Katsu chicken and ham,egg and chips. The food took approximately 20 mins to arrive. It was hot and very tasty. Very generous portions. Lots of parking, extensive outdoor seating area overlooking the lake. I’m sure it’s very nice in the summer. They do accept Bluelight card on full price food but on on offers such as two meals for £15. Recommended when in the area.

Visited the Swiss a few times with family now. Lovely garden with a beautiful lake with the opportunity to feed ducks which is great for my younger cousins. Food has always been great especially the fish and chips and the katsu curry. The team have always been welcoming to me and my family. Has got a nice family atmosphere especially with the events that have been held here which is welcoming to all ages. Would highly recommend

Excellent service, lovely food and a nice outdoor area for the kids to play.

Visited to try out the new menu. There have been a few tweaks with some new additions to the sandwiches which are now seeved in ciabatta which is much nicer. I had the steak sandwich meal deal with a pint which cost less than £10 so great value. Steak was cooked well. Very enjoyable visit.

Sadly the food wasn’t nice at all. We waited an hour for it too. I ordered Macaroni Cheese. It was beige and insipid … NO cheese on the top just soft and pale, tasteless. The rocket garnish was wilted and warm. Such a shame … We were with family out for lunch, the others had fish and chips which were ok, and Hunters Chicken which was ok but the chips were hard and dry. Very disappointing indeed.

10 out of 10 on food service and atmosphere as per normal thank you.

Booked a surprise birthday lunch for my husband. The buffet choices were great, the food was lovely and the price was pretty reasonable. All in all we had a lovely time.

Popped in on a weekday for lunch. Had lunch club menu of choice of sandwiches served with amazing chips and a drink. Very good value for money. Food was lovely, hot and well presented. Waitress, Jade, was friendly and helpful as we had a dairy allergy. Will definitely return soon.

About 50 years since I had been here - the day that Charlie married Di - and I guess that the place hadn't changed much. Very slow service! Sequestered in the bar because we hadn't booked a table although most of the tables in the 'restaurant' remained empty! I guess that this is usual for a Monday lunchtime. Maybe they didn't want 'oldies' in their restaurant area lowering the tone of the place. ALL the guests where we were were all over the age of 60, whilst those in the 'restaurant ' area were all 30 to 40. Food, fish and chips took almost 40 minutes to arrive, there were only eight covers when we ordered, so why 40 minutes? Really slow service considering the fact that we actually saw five waiting staff in our area! Restaurant area was almost empty when we left so I guess that the hour we were there no 'booked' guests arrive and we could easily have taken a table.

Nice place, but a bit plain and dowdy. Staff were friendly but the menu wasn't great. I had fishcakes which were excellent but others weren't so happy. Parking is limited

The organiser of our event had been in contact regularly over the last few weeks to make sure that all was well & sorted When I arrived I found out that our buffet was not being provided, and further, we were put in another part of the building

Gosh food was lovely, staff very welcoming great atmosphere, gardens and pond very clean, huge big carp and even the heron and duck looked at home.

Can’t fault, amazing service Callum was super attentive as well as his blond colleague lovely lovely staff and food was good too

Stopped in for dinner had a lovely surf and turf rib eye cooked beautifully to medium rare would recommend. Also the new blonde is amazing

Came in for lunch with my grand children, they had so much fun In the garden. They got to choose what they wanted for lunch which was great as all three can be rather picky. The staff were really friendly and the kids took to them nicely

Food was amazing! Served by kevin at the bar what a nice guy. And the waitress Elaine was outstanding. Highly recommend The Swiss

What a lovely place to go for lunch, or even just a drink. It is in a very nice setting with a beautiful garden that has a lake with ducks and fish. You have views of this from inside the restaurant. The food is really good and value for money. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend it! We have been back multiple times and never been disappointed.

Another good visit to The Swiss Cottage. We took our friends down with their little girl who thoroughly enjoyed feeding the Ducks and the playground. We went on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend and it was busy with a reptile event which we paid for which was amazing. Will be back

The food was awful we all got something different and none of us enjoyed our food at all it’s not the staff it’s the ingredients are so poor and what is there is cooked well at all and it cost loads more then the green man and the food doesn’t match up any where near

The pub has a fantastic garden, and I’ve been eager to try it out for a while. So, I decided to book a table for my husband’s surprise birthday party. The booking process was straightforward, and the staff I spoke with over the phone were friendly and helpful. They even allowed us to bring our own cake, which was a nice touch. I opted for the buffet option and was advised repeatedly over the phone not to order too much food because the portions are “quite generous.” With this in mind, I pre-paid for food for 14 people, even though our party included 17 adults and 4 kids (3 plus a baby). When the food was served, I went to the bar to ask if more was coming because the amount seemed insufficient (see the picture). The answer was quite rude ‘well you’ve only paid for 14 people’… this was the total number (if not less)of adults attending the event at the end….I had paid just under £170 for the buffet, and it didn’t seem like much. Later, I also realized that the crudités were never brought out—they were completely forgotten. By the end of the event, there were only a few sandwiches left, but it’s worth noting that some guests canceled last minute, and the kids barely ate anything (perhaps a sandwich or two, but they were only 2 and 5 years old). If you’re considering ordering a buffet here, be cautious. You may end up paying mostly for sandwiches with a few other items, if you’re lucky enough to get everything you paid for. £170 = what you see in the picture (with a few items missing since I didn’t think to take a photo beforehand, as people usually take pictures of food that looks good and tempting).

I come here verry frequently with my family its a lovley pub and restaurant.The food is always delicious and always kept warm,the pub staff are well mannered and efficient especially Tammy and Elaine who never fail to make me and my family feel welcomed they both always have a smile on their face,it's a amazing pub in general I highly recommend.

Went in for a Sunday roast after a long walk with the family. We were met with a lovely welcome and great service. Right from ordering drinks to food. The specials were recommended and great care was taking in delivering an outstanding roast. I had the lamb and the better half had a duo. Our daughter had the Schnitzel. All washed down with a perfect Guinness. I would highly recommend the pub and food. The team were super accommodating, friendly and went above and beyond. Especially when observing what they did for all the families trying to take cover from the rain. I would like to write more but my dessert has arrived. Highly recommend and worth a visit.

Average pub with pleasant enough staff, always feels like they don’t have enough staff for the amount of people there. Food is on the nicer side of middle of the road but nothing amazing. Have found it to be consistent, over the times we have been. I would go again and recommend it for a reasonably priced meal out.

Excellent all round. Kev and his team are very thorough on making sure you are satisfied from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. The bar and waiting staff are exceptional, they are not happy unless you are. Excellent all round Kev, I cannot say enough about the Swiss cottage, excellent service, excellent atmosphere, excellent staff, just excellent all round, you will be seeing more of us that's for sure

We had a variation of dishes,hunters chicken,mixed grill,macaroni,beef. All were piping hot and plentiful. My steak was cooked to perfection. As always the staff were very good. But i will single out a young lad named calum. He was very polite,efficient and busy!. Well done guys.

Good food but unfortunately seagulls ruin the outer dining area 😒

Friendly staff, great for kids, food ok for the price. Ladies toilet need a lot of attention.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. We decided to go to the Swiss as I'm coeliac, they have a very good gluten-free menu, lots of choice, definitely will be back

Very good meal, steak was cooked perfectly, jucie and tender. Service was good, Staff were excellent.

Awful service waited over an hr when pub was nearly empty. No customer service

Came to the Swiss Cottage today with the family the food was great and the staff are really friendly but some of your customers had a real problem with Patience. You can’t get mad at staff, if one minute they are dead in the pub and 10 minutes later they are busy, that is what this trade is. So please be nice to them

Great food and drink a great family pub with plenty of outside tables, has a pond with loads of carp.

Lovely spot for a great lunch. Had a chicken wrap with chips, nice cold coca-cola. Lovely grass area for the kids to play. Can also grab some duck food for feeding the ducks.

Family meal - had such a lovely afternoon staff went above and beyond - will definitely come again - Calum was so patient with us

Came here with my family had a great time good staff very friendly, they are very friendly and good food would definitely come again

I eat here often and recently I had a nice time at lunch here amazing staff food and atmosphere

Lovely staff and delicious food in a beautiful setting

Very nice food not very nice why did that 45 minutes

Place was empty! So not all bad

we are from Spain , and we been here visite Brighton, so we stop have some food and we find this beautiful pub with a small lake with ducks and we loved it .. we want to thank the manager KEV for his kindness and for being very nice to us and he offered us good food and the waiters are very kind and very good service !! Many thanks KEV for your kindness again !! the food is great !! outside on the terrace Maria , Javier ,Rocio y Samuel Gracias Kev !! Saludos

Food took forever to arrive and was very poor quality.

Great pub, really friendly staff, dog friendly and a very good menu.

Always good for a meal whether a quick snack or longer family event

went on a thursday our starters took an hour to arrive the nachos were burnt, when our mains came out no one bothered to ask how our food was and left the dirty plates from the stater on our table

it was football night so it was very loud but they kindly sat us round a corner and turned our speaker off so we could hear the conversations better. staff were helpful and sorted mix up with food no problem. nice place.

Nice staff Lovely food Was a really great night

Great place for a chilled drink, good food and kid friendly.

Good location. Families love the large pond/small lake surrounding the pub and watching the ducks while eating in the Restaurant. Lots of outside seating when weather good. Very safe for children. Good value snacks if dont want a big meal.

Really beautiful pub with great food, beer garden, location and good priced drinks 🍸 😋

I came for a meal today and chose a lamb shank .It was really delicious with mint gravy and tasty vegetables. Thank you very much. Sonia

Came here at lunchtime,wasn’t busy at all,the staff were ok,salad came with only lettuce,onions no tomato and no feta,chicken schnitzel was so greasy,

Food was pretty poor to be honest and didn’t include any of the salad it was meant to come with. Opened a bottle of ketchup and about 20 ants came out and went all over the table. That kind of put us off the whole place. The saving grace is that we weren’t charged a fortune for the food - very good prices and I cannot fault the service. All of the team were super polite and friendly and very apologetic for the ant situation!

Very tasty steaks and mixed grills

Fantastic, friendly, and quick service from Tammy and the lovely lady who brought over our food. Will definitely be coming again.

Came in on Thursday and had a lovely meal was served by a sweet young man called Calum. You could tell he took real pride in his job and aided the true greene king hospitality that really positively affected my meal. I can strongly say I will be back again and this young man should be given a raise. As he remind me of the memories and love for the pub that I have had since I was little and came with my parents.

Had a lovely time Sunday with my family. The lamb shank roast was to die for. Definitely be back. Got to try out more of the rest of the menu. Those desserts look lush. Especially the Eton mess

Took my daughter out for lunch, she had lovely time feeding the ducks and colouring the kids menu also playing in the park food was such a good price

very pleasant experience. food was cooked wonderfully and was nice and prompt. friendly staff. play area kept the kids amused. great overall experience

Been going to the Swiss Cottage for years and always enjoyed the food, went last Saturday ordered a rump steak which was very difficult to eat, the waitress did change it, went Sunday for the Sunday Roast which has always been lovely but this time was very disappointing, the potatoes looked like boiled potatoes and the Yorkshire puddings where extremely greasy. Such a shame, the staff are very friendly and helpful, but they need to change the chef!

This place is very friendly and fun and I enjoyed my time here, I recommend coming here

Good value food. Nice garden. Service was bad today though. 2 members of staff were nice but there rest were really stressed, condisending and rude.

The pub has a very good atmosphere, the staff here were very helpful and the food was delicious. Lots of space in the garden

Came here for Sunday lunch with with my family. Pub garden is beautiful and overlooks a large lake. Really enjoyed the Roast Lamb. Good selection of drinks Good service from the staff who were very busy.

The only thing wanted a mix grill but unfortunately that there was no more of that but had the gammon egg chips peas. And I was so full im so pleased that I didn't have the mixed grill 😋 food was brilliant 😋

The food was nice and hot, but meat was tough, lasagne mediocre, scampi OK. Desserts were all very tasty, drink were what you expect. There was a boat club party outside they were very well behaved, the staff were very attentive amid such l large numbers we weren't forgotten

Lovely place, staff and atmosphere. Decent prices. Nice quality food!

Great food. Friendly staff. Good price. Excellent service

Really nice place. I visited a few times this year and food and service has always been great :)

Great food in a lovely setting.

Had a lovely lunch at the Swiss, the croquettes are excellent and the panna cotta is so delicious. Having a few ciders to wash it all down by the lake whilst the sun was out is a highlight. Would recommend this spot!

We had roasts on Sunday and were unfortunately disappointed. The beef, although cooked rare which i prefer, was extremely salty. The roast potatoes were hard and barely cooked, the parsnips were solid and although the menu states seasonal vegetables, we only got a few carotts.

Highly recommend this place. I have been here lots of times. The food is really good and value for money. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. It is in a lovely location too. It's great in the summer as lots of outdoor seating.

Fantastic dinner with the family. The new specials are great. Really enjoyed mine I had the chicken with mushroom absolutely loved it would recommend. See you again Swiss Cottage

Husband loved his chicken ,i had the roast Turkey ,meat ,yorkshire very nice ,veg appalling ,not cooked properly ,and roast potatoes were frozen i'm sure ,parsnip solid ,carrots had a funny taste ,did comment to the staff ,was told they had a staff member training ,not acceptable .

Use this place about once a month. Usually it's great but today we had a table booked at 2pm. Then they said 40min wait. When the food came it was cold. Yorkshire pudding was hard and dry. I then went to the bar to order drinks as I wait 4 separate people were served. When I did get served the barmaid said you have to come to this till to pay!! I paid cash but still had to walk round on a crutch. Disappointed today to say the least...

Customer service was exceptional. Kevin helped us with a late arrivals meal,rushing it through and even did the same when we realised one order hadn't gone through. Customer service was amazing. Thanks to Kevin.

Great coffee, lovely table service, good music, really been taken care of here, lovely lakeside view, thanks for having us

On Easter saturday we took my wifes cousin who was on a visit from South Africa for a meal at the Swiss . Looking forward to nice food and conversation . The food was ok but it was impossible to have a conversation due to the noise from a group of people sitting at a table in the bar area . Shouting at each other from across the bar area. After complaining to a member of staff they did quieten down a bit to about level 8 but was still very loud. Maybe if i could make a suggestion , that the bar area could somehow be blocked of from the dining area with some kind of screening . Its not somewhere that i would choose to use again anytime soon .

Inpromtu visit here tonight. Delicious vegan food, including homemade humous, v meatballs, and v catsu curry. Sooo good!!! Big, full, happy bellies. Cannot wait for next time! The new manager was welcoming and took time to chat. Happy staff. Thanm you so much!

Was looking forward to good food and conversation with my wifes cousin who was visiting from South Africa .Food was ok but conversation was almost impossible . A group of people in the bar area were talking and shouting at level 11 . After complaining to a member of staff they did quieten down to around level 8 but it was still very loud . If I could make a suggestion , that a partition between the dining area and the bar would help dampen the noise down . Its not a place that i would go to through choice again in the future .

Had a fantastic lunch at the Swiss the staff were amazing and the food was fantastic too well done keep up the good work and we will see you next time

No one answers the phone! So gets bad reviews! Just to clarify, tried ring 8 times over the course of an hour with no reply! Bad customer service

Great food and staff. Vegan choices were great too Will definitely be back again soon. The place has an interesting history and we need to see the grounds in daylight

Good food, good service enjoy going there and nice staff

We booked last minute and we were accommodated very well. It was a lovely experience and good value for money. The staff were helpful, attentive and accommodating. The food was tasty and wholesome, nothing fancy to boost a price increase. Overall a lovely Sunday treat.

Good staff, good food, quick service, definitely will go there again, love their burgers and have a good range of foods.

A pub that has plenty of potential. However, on a Saturday night they had to check if they could serve food past 2030. I mean really? Having agreed to feed us, the scampi and chips was very poor and the lasagne burnt to a crisp as per my photo. It was supposed to come with a side salad too which never happened. The only side portion we had was impatience and misery from the staff. No wonder it was empty on a Saturday night. Complained to head office who couldn’t care less. All the best for the future!

Came with a large group of family for my goddaughters 16th birthday. Fantastic food, fantastic service & fantastic staff. Thank you. We will be returning to sample that lovely outside space!

Good food, good service thank you. Accommodating staff give it a Go, lunch menu is very good value for money it would be even better if the drink prices were lower.
