The Bluebell at Cocking in Chichester

Catherine and I had an Amazing three course meal at The Bluebell, Cocking. We enjoyed perfectly cooked Scallops, Scrumptious Fishcake and Two Main courses which equally delicious. Followed by a Chocolate, coffee Mousse to die for. As always Simon was a pleasure in providing great Customer Service Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!!

I had a bedroom with shared shower room and it was clean and functional. The host Simon was friendly and helpful. For walkers, it's about 20 walk from the South Downs Way, and was my second stop on the walk from Winchester to Eastbourne. This review is of the accommodation which I would rate 4/5 while the restaurant would be 3/5. I have no hesitation in recommending it to walkers.

The service at The Bluebell was first class, our dog knocked over a drink and they replaced it free of charge without us asking.The meal was really nice too, it arrived quickly and was exactly as ordered.I would recommend this as a detour away from the South Downs Way.

We were disappointed with the food, expecting better for the price. The meals we had were ok but lacking in vegetables and extras. My meal was a fish pie. It contained lots of fish and was very tasty but was only accompanied with a few beans on the side. No bread was brought to the table. My friend had a steak pie accompanied by a small spoonful of mashed potato! I wouldn't recommend that you eat here if you have been out walking all day and have a ravenous appetite.The B&B was clean but again very expensive. We paid £105 for a twin room. And we shared the shower and toilet with the adjoining double! The radiator was turned off so the room was freezing when we went to bed. Lacking in personal touches for the price.
