The Bridge Inn Shoreham in Adur

The manager and Chef were great. Food was pretty good as well. Had an issue once we went to order dessert and was told the kitchen was closed. 45 min went by the entire time food was coming out. The bar keep was not polite in the manner they went about anything. If the kitchen was backed up with orders they should have worded it that way. But saying they are closed and refusing service while we have been there for 3 hours eating and drinking is ridiculous.

A welcome that made me feel joy! A fresh seafood platter for 2 was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Never disappointed here. Thank You.

Really friendly staff. Our designated waiter Brad was attentive and helpful. Lovely food although a little pricey. But it was worth it for the excellent service

Very disappointing Sunday roast (pork & lamb), pork was tough & vegetables massively overcooked. Roast potatoes, & you only got 2 small ones, were almost burnt. The gravy was so thick it made the whole meal soft. It was almost like the meals were already dished up & kept warm until someone ordered them - they can out very quickly. Such a shame as we were so looking forward to our meal. Probably won’t eat a roast here again.

The staff here are fantastic! The food is great but the service is great- they are so friendly and attentive.

Needs more bar staff as always busy.

Absolutely disgusting place ordered our food all came out wrong missing items then food was Luke warm aggressive and rude staff when we complained they asked us to leave when they was the ones who had totally made the day unacceptable would avoid at all costs

Absolutely amazing meal. Had the special rib eye steak 2 for £30. Was a melt in your mouth steak with all the extras. King prawns and baby back ribs that fell off the bone. Delicious. Also amazing service, and very quick. Highly recommend. Will be back. X

OK place Nice view of the river but didn't have the beers I liked But still worth a visit

We visited for a belated mothers day meal with family. The menu is extensive & not particularly over priced however 2/5 melas we had were short of the mark. I order roast lamb as we rarely have it home/ thought it would be nice for a change. What (lamb) arrived looked like is had come out of the bottom of a spam tin. It was a compressed/ reconstituted shredded lamb. Quite peculiar & not awful to eat but certainly not 'roast lamb'. Sadly (& more importantly) our mums fish & chips was dreadful. It looked like the fish had been battered & cooked more than once & it was rock solid. The burger, roast beef & roast chicken all seemed okay. Our mum isn't one to complain (especially for a mothers day meal) so my sister swapped plates at the end & tried to give the server some constructive feedback. She said something along the lines of "I think you should know that the fish was almost inedible look, it's rock solid." The young wait refrained from apologising & said he'd let the kitchen know. We waited for about 30 minutes chatting in the hope that a manager would come out &, at the very least, acknowledge the comments but to no avail. Sadly I think we won't be back, it seems a convenient venue that I'd suggest you pass on.

While the service was great, I’m afraid we really didn’t have a great experience with the food. The brioche buns were stale, the fish was lukewarm and coleslaw was definitely past its use by date. £100 was a lot to spend on something that was well below average, and frankly inedible. Not a great Mother’s Day. We’ve loved visiting The Bridge in the past, so as you can imagine we were disappointed. A complaint was made privately to The Bridge but we have received no response.

Not my first time to the Bridge but my first review. Live in Spain and on a brief visit to family decided on the Bridge for lunch. Wow! Had good meals here before but this was exceptional. The coconut rice bowl ,I had it with chicken , was delicious.Lots of veg and the addition of pickled ginger was inspired! Oh they also didnt judge me for getting fries as well! I wouldn't have if I'd know how good it was going to be.Lovely friendly service as well. Totally reccomend.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips lunch, easily the best I've ever tasted. Service was brilliant, friendly, helpful and welcoming. What a superb venue and atmosphere. We will definitely be returning, especially with family when they visit the area later in the year. Easiest 5 stars awarded.

Visited for a quick bite and pint was too cold to sit outside on the estuary but nice view from inside

Hello To whom it may concern Thank you for the invitation Unfortunately my family and I will never eat at The Bridge again. We had an awful experience. In January I came from Brighton to my sister who lives locally. We came with the expectation of really good food and service as we have previously eaten at your pub/restaurant .. and we’ve always been very impressed with the food. We ordered from the menu .. my sister and I ordered the belly pork, my partner a burger .. my child a burger from the child menu. The food arrived.. the belly pork for us both was completely uneatable.. neither of us could cut it with our cutlery!!. The crackling hadn’t been cooked the meat was completely tough .. we approached the staff at the bar . I explained the situation to what I assume was the senior staff member. It was a tall guy with a beard.. there was no apology.. he came out with stake knifes !! His effort to amend the situation. Both of us said no thank you .. to which a young waiter offered to replace our meals .. bearing in mind my husband had child had nearly finished by the time our replacement meal arrived .. which to be honest was equally as dreadful. No effort was made to improve the service or experience from the senior staff ,no offer of hospitality or grace given. The meals that replaced our first choice were cheaper.. but no refund of the cost was given or offered.. no apology at all . The most emphatic staff member was the table waiter.. who clearly wasn’t the most senior staff member. A really sad , uneventful lunch and family meet up.. which was a shame as usually the food , atmosphere and service is very good and memorable. To add to that .. we then bought another drink a small “coke” which was served in a child’s glass as no others were available.. apparently!!. I’m sorry to complain but it was dreadfu

We got into a habit of regularly having a roast at the bridge in 2023 but there was a bit of a decline in the quality and enjoyment of the roast towards the end of 2023. We visited today again for the first time and are delighted that the roasts are back at their best! Large portions of meat, loads of different vegetables, good yorkie and thick meaty gravy. The sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese were also great! We had sticky toffee pudding and brownie for pudding which were also much improved, warm, comforting and delicious.

Family of 7 all had a roast each and wow Probably the best roast dinner out there. Grear views over the harbour. Service is amazing. Parking is limited but there is parking near by not an issue. Would love to come back soon.

Amazing roast, really friendly staff! One of the best roasts we’ve had outside our own homes, the gravy was incredible!

The food was lovely, very fresh and hot! Grilled chicken sandwich was surprisingly generous

Great place, not what you expect based on the frontage, food was good but lost points for over seasoning, but the waiter was a legend and gave my son a free pot of ice cream. Also my youngest child was served quite a rare burger, no kid wants that!

It was great. Nice atmosphere, great food (had a burger)

asked for menu; we love eating at The Bridge. Food is always excellent. BUT, no one was interested in taking our order. Up until now, it was THE only place to go in Shoreham. new decisions will be made.

An average Sunday Lunch. But very pleasant staff and good atmosphere. We had roast beef which was fine. Unfortunately one of us was missing carrots and parsnip, which were on the other plates.

Really nice staff, even though my dog barked at them. Delicious sandwiches, lovely sunny sheltered spot on the terrace. Always great here.

Nice pub. Great location, especially in the summer as the outside seating area is brilliant. However we went on a cold winters day and seated by the window. Lovely overlook but cold. My friend had to put her coat on to get warm! Staff are friendly. Food was really good. Looking forward to returning in the warmer weather

If you like beer which tastes like vinegar, then this is the place for you! Thankfully it wasn’t just the HopHead, the Revelation and London Pride were also akin to a strong balsamic too. Not sure Fullers would have expanded beyond Chiswick if their beer & customer service were as awful as we experienced today. After raising our concerns about the quality of the beer we were offered replacements, which were also awful (cloudy, gummy and heavy on the vinegar) we then asked for a refund which instead of being greeted with apologies we had indignation and argument (not what you’d expect or want) We did eventually get a refund but it was offered with no apology and further rudeness. As a Shoreham resident I was embarrassed that I chose to take my family to The Bridge today, which is a shame as previous visits have been great. We shall not return and I advise you, my friends and fellow beer lovers to try one of the many nicer drinking establishments Shoreham has to offer!

WHAT a place! On a sunny day this place is a spectacle! Very friendly staff who go all the way out to offer a good experience. Spent hours here having food and tea and reading my book. The place is quite spacious as well! Will def return again in summers

Limited menu. Staff drinking behind bar

Great seating outside. Most staff friendly, but BE CAREFUL - we had two rounds of drinks, and on the second time (my round) the young bar manager tried to charge me £7 more for EXACTLY THE SAME DRINKS. Even after I complained, he still worked it out that I had to pay nearly £4 more than the first round. CHECK WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Not so long ago The Bridge was the place to go to for decent pub food. However, how things have changed!!! 2nd time i been for dinner here in last few months and although the staff remain very friendly and efficient and good well kept beer......... the food is nothing short of terrible. One of our party ordered a beef burger which arrived dry and over cooked with dry and overcooked thin 'french fries'. Others had chunky oven chips with their meal. Overall, very disappointing and will be trying other Shoreham eateries instead. Seems a shame as the location is good as is the beer.

Sunday roast was very disappointing- smothered in gloopy gravy - everything looked the same - brown … meat was fatty. One of the group had lamb and said that was ok. Food was just warm. Only veg was cabbage and some pretty tasteless red cabbage. Sticky toffee pudding came out tepid and floating in sauce and the ice cream had all but melted before it reached us. We paid and didn’t complain and put it down to experience. Shame as we have had a good steak in there recently. I doubt we would be back to eat although it’s a great spot for a summer evening drink.

Owned by coeliacs so almost everything is Gluten Free. Huge portions of delicious food. Great service. Brilliant beer garden with heated pods overlooking the river. Highly recommend!

Food was 10/10 absolutely beautiful!! Two of us had the burgers 1 chicken and 1 beef and both amazing other person had pork roast and that was just as good. Staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

Had the festive meal here couple of weeks ago. Wouldn't choose again over regular menu. Main was good. Pork belly especially Rest of food just OK. Quite pricey and then they added service automatically. Service not charged on normal menu, so why now?

I and my best friends had a Christmas dinner about 4 to 5 weeks ago at the pub,service was good but the food was not good,the roast potatoes were very hard, we just had spouts no other vegetables no peas carrots might have been roasted parsnips but most of the vegetables were burnt and not nice at all.Plus the they try to chance us £30.00 service charge when other pub uses were not change this. Would I eat there again no way not even a sandwich.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food

Food was disappointing. Tasted and looked like it had been waiting on the pass for half an hour. The view is lovely all the time.

Have never eaten here before and done so for the first time today. The steak sandwich with fries was very good and came with rocket and a chilli type jam inside it. The pork belly was also very good I’m told and the portions of pork were huge. The pub has a big outside area overlooking the river and a dining area. On the tiger side of the bar the area often seems unused, but with that included it’s quite a big site. The beers on offer do the job with a few cask ales on offer - Pride is pretty much always on and usually there’s some Dark Star offerings too. The waitress was very friendly too and amicable. It was nice the exercise the option to order drinks at the bar too as a pub purist. Would definitely come here again for food having been many times for drinks.

Called in last night,wow, smashing meal, smashing staff, thanks for a great evening. Best regards.

Reheated food, quantity over quality. Good service, and the view is great.

Quiet for a pleasant Thursday lunch.

Just had a delicious meal, the staff could not of been any more helpful even though we booked outside they were so lovely and reserved a table inside incase we changed our minds due to bad weather conditions . Love, love this place and we have never had a bad meal .

Driven passed many times, so was time to try. It was very early, so quite easy to get window seat. Very happy young waitress ask for our drinks. Then explained specials. I had a seabass last one which was beautiful. My husband had lamb pie which was different buy enjoyable. All in all very well looked after.

Not good at all . We had a roast . Worse roast ever . Potatoes and Yorkshire wer rock hard . Cauliflower cheese cold , service terrible . Never again for me

A lovely pub in a great location. The food was absolutely dreadful. Calamari and fries were under cooked. The chicken liver pate is very sweet, not to my taste at all.

Try the mac and cheese with pulled pork. WIN!

Won a meal for 2 . Food was fabulous and plentiful, portions are bigger than average. Staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Food overpriced. Not 5 star! Noisy. Had to shout to have a conversation. Much touch of heaters in the booths. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice place for a drink but food not up to much. Didn't like the choices and what we had wasn't special for the price.

Very good meal of steak and lobster, the waiting staff couldn't do enough to ensure all our needs were met. Live music later finished off the evening perfectly. Thank you team Bridge

Came here for lunch today, and the restaurant was very accommodating, by changing one of the recipes because of a dairy allergy. And they swapped over 2 meals when the wrong stuff was brought to the table.

What a disappointing experience made worse by an unprofessional manager, who is clearly not able to speak to customers. We went to celebrate my friend's birthday and ordered steak, which was excellent by the way. Unfortunately the waitress dropped two glasses of RED wine over a yellow dress I was wearing. She gave us towels to dry up. My friends finished their meals as I had to wait for another steak as my food was swimming in red wine. The manager barely acknowledge the incident. No apologies offered immediately after, neither was an offer forthcoming for a free drink or a discount on the bill. Strange and not what you'd expect after I had to spent the evening covered in red wine. We were not best impressed, and thought she was not courteous or experienced in handling situations like that. My friend had to ask that we have a discount on the bill, so I was l clear that my steak should be taken off, at the very least. When the manager came, we were accused of having touched the waitress tray, hence the accident, which was untrue. We agreed it was an accident and it happens, but to then be accuse of causing it... I was speechless. We went outside and a distance from the pub, discussing what a unprofessional manager the lady was, just to be confronted by her, about us insulting her staff. We never exchanged words with her or the waitress, but to be followed outside it was ridiculous and beyond anything we could have expected. She managed to ruin our night with her attitude, when she lacked grace and finesse. Dreadful. This restaurant needs new management. Dress ruined too btw.

Beautiful views and lovely environment,very helpful and friendly staff amazing roast lamb dinner and very generous sized child's roast

Professional and helpful staff, the place has a really nice outside area

Reasonable pub with nice garden, but on last occasion I came to meet friends, early evening and was turned away by bouncers who said it was full. It definitely wasn't. Had to message my friends who were there and we all left. Will be meeting elsewhere in future.

I never received such a bad attitude from staff like this place. They have been rude as soon as they understood I was not local/English. Also they refused to serve food even if the kitchen was still open. Disgusting behaviour!

I enter the bar to order food at 6.50pm but the chef refused because the kitchen shut at 7pm. Very unprofessional and rude staff! Shame as this place was suggested from friend of mine!

Not great tonight, if I'm totally honest. We were on a table of 7 and 4 guests had their starter arrive at the same time as their main course. Then 2 of us had the starter arrive 5 mins after we'd eaten our main course. We did get a refund, but for the prices charged, it was chaotic and disappointing. The prices just don't match the service. Shame as the food was OK. Unlikely to return as we've tried The Bridge a few times now.

Not been in here for 4 months , had afternoon snack very nice good value and came with chips . Recommend a visit

Friendly staff...lovely location, view could have been enhanced by wooden bars being lower so the sea was in view...however really enjoyed time there, will definitely go again.

Fantastic views over the river and great outside terrace

It's a great pub. Garden is the best in Shoreham. And they now have them Dark Star beers as well.

Lovely food and very accommodating staff!

A good pub, however, noise levels, (floor boarding!) are always too much for any form of conversation. The serving bar, ( old cabin bar servery) is ridiculously too small!, no thought to customer service! This needs addressing!

We booked a table outdoors, which was perfect. Our server was lovely and explained the menu to us and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the special, and it was amazing!

Great food and friendly service. The garden is the perfect location on a sunny day overlooking the river .

Great place, food was delicious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Food lovely, portions much to big for us

Great pub with a fantastic outdoor seating area. A must to visit if you are in the area.

The usual good food. The service was very good too, just the right amount of attention. It is always a pleasure to visit.

It was an expensive experience as I had catch of the day which came out a whole fish on my plate which I had to then fillet myself and my eyes aren't that great so I ended up swallowing one which is not good so it's put me off having fish I thought it would of been filleted for that price everyone else said there's was ok

Great riverside location with some covered outside seating. Good menu choices. Friendly staff. Parking limited.

Dropped in on a family visit with our two sons, wow! The homemade scotch egg and ploughman's were to die for! We will be back to try the lobster.

Had a nice few drinks in the lovely dog friendly garden area. Great atmosphere ideal location rain or shine

Lovely view of the river sitting at a high table. We both had fish pie which was good but could have been hotter! We shared and apple and fruit crumble with ice cream and custard which was very good! All gluten free as that is what my friend requires!

Stopped here for roast. No carrots!!!!! Thats a crime lol ordered extra potatoes and pigs in blankets bit undercooked. Only 1 slice of beef but enjoyed it

Great pub for overlooking the River Adur in their really nice back garden. Great cocktail bar out there with a bit of Carribbean music playing as we arrived. Summer bliss!

it's nice enough, I had a peach, walnut, feta and beetroot salad that was one of the nicest combination I have had, Bar lady was excellent and really knew her customer service, food was quick. couldnt give a 5 as let down a little by sticky tables

Had a coffee... nice view and atmosphere

Honestly the best roast I've had in a very long time. Visited with some friends who knew it was good! They got everything spot on! Great cauliflower cheese, loads of different veggies all cooked well, loads of gravy, crispy roasties, big chunk of pork belly (and crackling!) Message to chef: don't change anything, you guys are smashing it! Thank you!

Chain pub, good selection of beers, food ok, lots of space inside and outside. Outside has an under cover space and an open space.

Great pub to visit on a sunny day. It has a separate tiki type bar outside the rear and a sun trap, pims o clock

Nice setting, food not good for the money, and four of us dining all thought the same, would not recommend for a meal

Went for an early lunch after a walk round Shoreham today. I went for the starter portion of mussels with ciabatta bread in a white wine sauce. For under £9 l wasn't expecting a large portion but was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was absolutely delicious too. I was given a warm bowl of lemon water to clean my fingers, which was an unexpected bonus. The young members of staff have all received very good training and were attentive and conscientious throughout. Loved the surroundings too. In a world of over-priced mediocre pub food served by disinterested staff, The Bridge in Shoreham is like an oasis in the dire desert of hospitality.

Great pub good service and friendly staff but the Sunday roast wasn’t amazing. The Lamb was a very small portion, the pork belly crackling wasn’t crispy. The roast potatoes were not crispy at all. Some potatoes were also slightly uncooked. The chicken was over cooked. The veg selection was just a hard carrot and some cabbage. And for the price I’d expect more meat and more crisper potatoes and more veg.

Wasn't keen on meat ploughman's tbh outside area a bonus to sit in when it's hot a it has a sail up. Nice to chill and chat

We visited for last week, the location looking out over the terrace and the staff are lovely, but a massive massive shame about the food. Squid to start was somehow over cooked and chewy yet batter was anaemic, which we complained about. Then mains, I had a halloumi burger and my partner then chicken burger. Parts of his chicken was literally slimey, you picked it up off the plate and there was slime all over it and stringed back onto the plate. My halloumi burger was okay, expect for an unreasonable amount of sauce in it and the lettuce going a brown/black colour. We weren’t asked if our mains were okay even though we both left about half our food! Just cleared and a dessert brought over as a ‘sorry’ from the chef about the squid. Very nice gesture, but sadly the creme brûlée wasn’t much better. Sugar was burnt and the underneath wasn’t set properly, it was more of a liquid then a set dessert! Also, I was really excited to try one of the cocktails seen advertised on Facebook, to find out they only serve them Friday-Sunday??? You’re a pub! You must surely have the alcohol to make cocktails all week so why only serve them on a weekday? Very odd. We were so looking forward to trying this place but felt leaving like it was such a waste of £50-60.

Great food and lovely outside space

Met up with 6 ex work colleagues. We all had lunch in the garden area. Food was great. Ordering and service from the bar was good. Friendly staff, will defo go there again 😁

Casual dining inside or our. Varied menu with vegan choices. Staff were pleasant and friendly . Ideal for an informal lunch . Food was plentiful and filling and good value for money

Absolutely dreadful. We actually queued in the car park to order drinks and food, the bar service was so slow. Food for our party came out at different times so we didn't eat together. Table tops were sticky. The whole evening was a nightmare. Never again!

Lovely pub specially on a sunny evening as the terrace has lots of options for sitting in the sun with a lovely view of the river. My partner has never had a bad steak from here and would highly recommend it but I was slightly disappointed with the seafood platter as the muscles were made in an tomato sauce that was too riched, served with a sweet toasted bread but no butter, side salad was not great and very dry as no dressing, the it was a cup of prawns and some deep fried sardines which were fine but nothing special. I will definitely come back, atmosphere is lovely but I'll have to think twice about my order next time 😅👍🏻

The Bridge Shoreham On the 27th May in the early evening myself, husband, mum and my two daughters came to your establishment to enjoy some food and drinks in the sunshine. We ordered food and wine and soft drinks. My eldest daughter is 14. She has numerous difficulties including autism and adhd. She had brought with her the rest of her bottle of orange juice which we had previously bought elsewhere. Being autistic she is exceptionally particular about her drinks. As it was a warm day I was pleased she was drinking. Your security guard on shift that evening came over with a blonde young waitress, very abruptly and accused my daughter of ‘bringing in cocktails from home’. We laughed thinking he was obviously joking until he told us we had broken the law and to immediately leave the premises. We showed him the bottle and explained that she is a child with extra needs. He simply continued to tell us to leave very loudly and accusingly. It was awful treatment , embarrassing and upsetting. We are a quiet family that had spent money and were minding our own business. We got up and left straight away. We quietly said to the doorman (please check cctv) at the front door that it would have been more appropriate to have quietly approached one of us adults and asked us to put the drink away, or allowed us to explain her needs. He simply kept repeating to us to leave in a very rude and condescending tone. As we walked away, he then turned to another gentleman standing in the doorway and said loud enough for all of us including our two children to hear ‘bunch of c!*ts!’ And laughed. This is absolutely horrific behaviour. We want an apology and an explanation. If my autistic is not allowed to have her leftover orange juice then surely an infant mustn’t eat baby food brought from home? Or formula milk?! Please offer us an explanation and an apology. Your security guard should be sacked.

Visited for lunch on a beautiful summer day, booked a table in the covered outside are with views accross the river which were much improved by the in coming tide. The food was good with fesh fish of the day available. Leave plenty of room for desert, the apple crunble is huge.

Good vibe and good food at a reasonable price

Lovely location with friendly staff, unfortunately very overpriced

Fun, lively atmosphere. Great beer garden for sun besides the river. Love this place

Great pub with friendly staff, fantastic outside area with river views and a good range of food and drink. Bonus points for being dog friendly. Gets very busy so worth booking.

This was our first time eating here, I chose to have the Charred Lobster and it was the most tastiest Lobster I have ever eaten. The service was absolutely fantastic, will definitely eat here again when we are camping in Brighton.

Keep going back great cocktails so long as the price does not increase! Lovely food! Smallest mussels I've ever seen tho but sauce was rich and tasty! The roast is just yummy! Fish finger sandwich tasty too. Staff are just amazing 👏 😍
