The Crown Inn Restaurant in Horsham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had Sunday Lunch here yesterday and it was excellent. We collected Sunday lunch from here a few times during covid lockdown and even that was good. A lovely character pub with friendly, smiley staff.

My sister and I love the Crown. We've had quite a lot of meals there. The steak sandwich is well worth it. Tender slices of steak. The Sunday roast is delicous and my red wine is a reasonable price. I would highly recommend The Crown.

A lovely pub. Good food. Good service and good location. What more could you want?

Visited for dinner. Food was really tasty. Great portion size. Would definitely come again.

Very nice food and good service.

I booked this place as it was in close proximity to a wedding we were attending so didn't think much of it but we were really impressed! The service was very attentive, we were able to check in a bit early as we were due to be at the wedding all day. The room was really well furnished, comfy & we enjoyed having the luxury of breakfast in bed with our breakfast hamper we ordered in advance, the day after. We could only stay for a quick bite at lunch but the food menu & stay makes us want to come back with our dog and enjoy a little country getaway.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, however a pint of ordinary bitter beer was a staggering £5.50, the most I have ever paid in my lifetime outside of Central London. The beer was in good condition. There were three 'specials' on the menu board, all between an exorbitant £22 and £24; ridiculous! Needless to say we did NOT have lunch. I sincerely hope the owners of this comfortable public house do not price themselves out of business.

Met some former colleagues for a meal and a catch up. The Crown Inn was an ideal venue. Excellent food from a varied menu and well kept beer. Welcoming and efficient staff.

Excellent food and service. Quality all round.

Lunch with grown up family. Helpful and very pleasant staff, good range of drinks (including low alcohol options) but best of all was the menu. A couple of us had a bubble & squeak special - greatly praised! I had a simply delicious smoke haddock bake (“Sussex Smoky”). Quality was really high. Nice spot, in a conservatory overlooking the village green. Looked after my v elderly father in law v well too.

All food was a very good standard, homely and comfortable surroundings, service extremely good and friendly, will definitely be revisiting.

Great little pub great location great rooms and staff quiet nights sleep

Met up with friends who were staying there for dinner. Great food and service even after our friends decided to knock over their drinks everywhere!!

Great pub, if I had any overseas visitors this is where I would take them. Only thing is, so quiet on a Monday evening!

Great pub, very friendly amd attentive staff and the best pie I have ever had. Really would recommend

Met friends who were staying at The Crown Inn for dinner. Food was very good, although I thought the portions of dips/ sauces supplied were on the small side. (Stingy) I didn't ask for more though. The service was very good, even after one of our group knocked over his beer and wife's wine all over the place!!! The menu was ok, but I thought it was a bit limited personally. We will definitely go again as we've been told they do a fantastic Sunday roast.

A superb meal! The food was excellent and came very promptly. We enjoyed the starters and not being charged extortionate amounts for olives and bread like some other pubs! The apple crumble was delicious too. Service was excellent - friendly and attentive staff. Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent roast beef 🐄 today, cooked to perfection! The beef fell apart is was so perfectly cooked, still nice and pink and a lovely cut of sirloin. Veg was also cooked to perfection and plenty to go around, even the roast potatoes were fantastic. Genuinely couldn't find anything negative to say about the meal, it really was superb! The service was excellent too, never had to ask for drinks or wait for anything, staff were super friendly and went above and beyond what one would expect. I've no doubt we will be back again, and I should also point out there were 12 of us there today so even the higher than average number of meals / drinks etc.... was absolutely no issue. Well impressed. Safe, off road parking for my old BM too 😁 what more could one ask for? Many thanks for a super experience 👍

Delicious dinner with family, lovely atmosphere and great service.

Superb gastro pub combining excellent dining with local pub atmosphere. Lovely staff and superb location

A group of 17 of us met for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our family had travelled an hour from all directions (one was 3 hours) and they all loved it - well worth the journey and would love to return.

Fabulous staff, great food. Wonderful service, especially by the manageress. I saw one reviewer mentioned the tattooed staff - I hardly think that is relevant and actually rather ignorant. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Lovely staff, great food and fantastic location. Would highly recommend.

Very cosy atmosphere, excellent service and food like your Mum used to make!! Excellent!!

First class meal, real fresh home cooked food. Friendly staff also allowed us to take our dog inside. Looked lovely with the Christmas decorations

I booked a table for my walking group of 13 people and we all had a roast dinner. This is one of the best roasts I have had for a long time. I had the pork belly and it was succulent and the crackling was amazing. We did order a few extra sides so it is on the higher end of costs for a pub roast dinner but I don't mind paying a bit more when the food is as delicious as this. The service was excellent as well, all the roasts were served at the same time and the staff were friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that it would be great if the condiments, like the apple sauce etc could be bought out prior to the roast being served.

We had been recommended to visit this pub for food and so glad we were. After a very long walk we arrived very hungry ◡̈ the pub itself is so cute ….. it’s super old meets super modern and just the perfect level of each. The open fires are such a lovely touch and the drinks on offer were great. We were seated and served really quickly and all staff friendly. The food was incredible- we ordered halloumi salad and a halloumi burger ( usually big meat eaters so this was a strange choice for us that day but the dishes sounded so good) there were so many beautiful flavours that complimented each other and was very well presented. We are excited for our next visit.

Excellent food reasonably priced and very dog friendly.

My fiance said the crown has really nice because i hadn't been there before so we booked for a Sunday roast I didn't take a picture because I was lovin the food so much staff were nice one of the best around.

Lovely looking pub, friendly staff apart from one, had the beef probably the worst portion of meat ever at £22 pounds you would expect more than 2 Very thin slices about 3 inches long , the veg was ok , had to wait 40 minutes for desserts, will I return NO there are much better pubs in the area for service and food quality

Had a lovely time here at the crown inn! Amazing service even though there were lots of us , food was spot on!

We had a lunch meal on Saturday. The service and food was excellent. The cost was very reasonable for the quality. Well positioned just off the main bypass

We stayed here for the night and had dinner in the pub. I couldn't fault this place. The room was individual, boutique, spotless and had every comfort we would want. The pub and meal was wonderful, especially the staff, who made us (and our dog), very welcome. We found the prices to be perfectly acceptable.

Stopped a The Crown for a early supper on the way home from London as we’d had drinks there on a previous occasion and had heard good things about the food. It was fairly busy for a Friday evening and it felt understaffed. The food, however, was served promptly but really wasn’t that good. My grilled halloumi burger was a ciabatta roll, halved, with a few chopped up tomatoes and green leaves on one half with some mayo, and on the other half, an unattractive chunk of halloumi on top of grilled peppers and pesto. The flat mushroom, which cost an extra £1 was small, dry and unappealing. The pesto and mayo added some flavour but it just wasn’t good over all. There was no finesse to the meal, although the chips were good. My partner had the sirloin burger which he felt was equally poor. The staff were pleasant enough but seemed inexperienced and stretched. Our waitress asked how our meal was but hardly waited to hear the response. Someone more experienced would have picked up that we were not impressed. Had we complained, I don’t think they’d have known how to respond to improve our experience. £50 for a couple of pints, a glass of wine and 2 well below average burgers in a ‘gastro’ pub - I don’t think so! Will we be back? - no!

Unfortunately we found one lady behind the bar quite rude. It was a shame becuase the pub is lovely but not welcoming at all only if you book ahead do seem to get good service. We left and went down the road to the Countryman Oub which couldn't be more welcoming!

What a wonderful place. We stayed overnight in the Butterfly room. The room was beautifully decorated, immaculate with absolute attention to detail. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Dial Post is a beautiful and very picturesque village. Breakfast was beautifully presented and of a very high quality, the ham was beautiful and the eggs must have been free-range as they tasted fabulous. The best bed and breakfast I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Very highly recommended. Thank you to all the staff at the Crown Inn, Dial Post.

Stayed in butterfly room for a few days,room was immaculaty clean and lovely coffee and tea facilities with fresh milk,homemade shortcake biscuits,toiletries. Opted not to have hamper as there was a McDonald's five minutes down the road and we had a lovely stay. Thank you so much xx

Went to the Knepp estate for look around and stopped off for lunch before our journey back. Lovely pub! The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the food was great. We had the pork belly which was 😋 and everything it came with was good. We also shared a cauliflower cheese which was very nice too. Definitely will be back!

Stayed here for 2 nights last week. The room was very nicely decorated and clean. After a long journey we were looking forwards toa nice drink in the bar, however when we arrived the pub itself was closed !! so we just had water and coffee in our room. The bar opened at 18:00 so we went down for a drink and a meal. I wasn't keen on the choice of ales, didn't like them at all, but that is a personal thing so no issues there. The menu is quite small but the food arrived quickly and was nice. You have to order breakfast at the bar and pay separately for this. Breakfast is delivered to your door in a hamper. The rooms are small as it is an old building and to be honest there is nowhere to properly sit down and take your breakfast so we ended up sitting on the bed. Breakfast cost £10pp. £10 for a bowl of cereals or porridge and a small amount of orange juice along with a piece of bread and butter and jam. Definitely not value for money. Room service was poor, the owner entered our room to replenish the coffee etc which was appreciated. However the bed was left unmade!! Whilst this is a first world problem I agree after paying over £250 for a 2 night stay surely this would be a pre requisite. It wasn't an unpleasant stay but we would not stay here again.

Stayed here for a couple of nights, the room was wonderfully decorated & immaculate but a couple of things let our stay down. Breakfast is delivered to your door in a hamper & the only option is to sit on the bed & eat it as the room is not big enough to eat elsewhere. The options for breakfast were very limited, small box of cereal, muesli or porridge plus a portion of French stick with a slice of ham,cheese or bread or jam & charged £10. Definitely not value for money. Owner entered bedroom to take away hamper & refill coffee pods & bottles of water but bed was left to us to make ourselves. Disappointed to be paying in excess of £250 & have to make your own bed.

This public house is pleasantly situated just off of the main A24 road in the village of Dial Post in West Sussex. The reviewer visits about four times per year, involving a half hour drive. The establishment has a pleasant ambiance and on the day of the visit the four female staff were friendly and welcoming. However having seen the price a pint of ordinary 4% draft bitter beer go from £4.50 to a whopping and unjustified £5 on my last visit, I was appalled that on my visit today the price of two pints was a staggering £10.40, hugely above prices on the south coast and completely out of order. There was also a salmon dish on the 'specials' board for £19!!! Pubs may be closing nationwide but charging rip-off prices will reduce footfall and NOT cure the problem. It is unlikely we will visit again. Also the toilet in the Gentleman's convenience was not working and it was suggested that they use the Ladies!!! Can you imagine the potential embarrassment? The problem with the flush should have been fixed immediately and a plumber called urgently - photograph attached.

We were staying at Knepp the local Wild life estate and walked to the Crown each day for either lunch or dinner. The food was amazing, great choice and such friendly and attentive staff. Would thoroughly recommend. To sit on the village green or in their comfy conservatory sipping a wine was bliss

Went here before a walk around the <very nearby- short walk> Knepp Castle re-wilding site. Found the fish and chips excellent to my taste. The fish batter is quite light, triple cooked Chips are excellent. My partner had the burger and was very happy with...

Enjoyed a relaxed and very good Sunday Lunch. Choice of Beef, chicken or pork all of which were good sized well presented and enjoyed by all. Good service and ambiance.

Went hear for lunch had a lovely lunch the wife had salmon which she said was very nice I had a small tapas chorizo and potatoes braves with bread was yummy great staff and a very nice pub thank you John and lisa

Beautiful Pub, good service but lunch time small meals left us really unimpressed and disappointed; we had sandwich, burger, whitebait and special which was crochets, all really poorly presented and really unpleasant to taste, chips extra at £3 for very very small portion, beer was...

We were passing through the area looking for a place to have lunch. Found The Crown thought we would give it a try. Food was excellent. However we did feel as if we were an inconvenience as we hadn't pre booked.

Had a two night stay at this little gem, with my wife and our dog Archie. Room was beautifully decorated and equipped, warm welcome and excellent food in the pub. Really appreciated the little extra put in the room, log fire and real ale in...

Recently visited this lovely pub for lunch. Excellent food, staff were delightful and we shall definitely return very soon. Very impressed 🙂

We had fish and chips here it was a very limited menu,staff were super food was abit cold,but nice surroundings.

Came for the £12.50 cost of living crisis menu . Absolutely amazing food - delicious soup and the pie was possibly the best chicken and ham pie ive ever had . Lovely fires and dogs very welcome

Geat olde world look and ambience, etc. Food very good. A wider range of draught lagers than beers/ales, but that's not unusual these days. We had dined there previously, so we were not surprised at our overall experience.

Recommended by friends ages ago, and finally got there. Not disappointed. Super friendly staff. Perfectly fresh fish and chips, crispy batter, lovely chips and peas. I ate the lot! The cheeseboard ordered on the next table was enormous and looked delicious. Will definitely go again.

What a delightful discovery! Nestled away in Dial Post (what a quaint name for a village!), the ambiance, the food and the service were all exceptional! A lovely little fire place where the dogs could dry off after a wet walk, the loin of lamb special was outstanding as was the home-made burger 🍔 with sweet-potato fries. However, the pièce de résistance was the Assiette of Puddings (for two) - a delicious smorgasbord of sweet treats. Lastly, the staff were absolutely delightful - very attentive, engaging and personable. What a lovely setting!

We visited friends in the area and went for Sunday lunch. The staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. Two of us enjoyed the roast beef dinner with another having the roast chicken, whilst my wife had a fabulous smoked haddock and poached...

What can I say about the Crown except that the staff haven’t got a clue about customer service. I’m not going to comment on the food or drinks or the service you get whilst inside the pub as I never got to eat or drink....

Coeliac/vegan are labelled in the menu and my fish was cooked without batter separately in the oven (coeliac). Sadly the only gluten free starter choice was bread & oil (they couldn't make garlic or cheese bread as garlic bread is premade) so we all skipped...

We had a light lunch here and took our dog with us. The sandwiches were excellent and portions were good. Really great value. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. We would go again.

We enjoyed a leisurely lunch here while staying on the Knepp Estate (you can walk to the pub quite easily from the campsite). We had the back garden to ourselves and found the service to be friendly and efficient. The food was lovely, especially the...

Had an impromptu (weekday) lunch here whilst sort of passing having not eaten at The Crown for a couple of years. Service was very friendly and we sat in the garden at the rear, a very nice spot. They only had one rose by the...

Visited the Crown after a bit of a break but the food and the beer did not disappoint. We were a bit late for our booking but staff were not phased and our choices came quickly. The beer was good and the burgers got the...

The food here is amazing. Just had the best tuna steak I have ever had, just so fresh and melt in the mouth. Yum.

Had a lovely meal here whilst staying at nearby Knepp. Easily walkable. I had the vegetarian option on the specials board , hubby had steak and chips. Very tasty and good quality. Nice local silly moo cider.

Nice little pub, food was nice, bit stingy on the 1 pot of ketchup.

Had a lovely lunch at the Crown today. Great food, really friendly staff. All in all, very enjoyable 😊😊😊

A very enjoyable roast dinner last Sunday. Friendly staff, good service and great food!

My daughter & I, plus our dog Mickey visited the Crown Inn for dinner last Friday evening. It's a lovely old pub, recently renovated in a charming & tasteful way. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome & our meal...

Lovely pub, staff friendly and good food.

Had a lovely meal last night at the Crowne. Great service and excellent quality. Good selection on the menu. Bar drinks selection was also good.

Midweek friends meet for lunch. Freshly cooked meal, well presented and served hot. Menu choices and specials are modest but adequate. Very attentive service. Small character village pub with comfortable conservatory style dining area opposite village green. Dog friendly.

Excellent! Had Christmas dinner (2021) and service and food spot on. Perfect portion sizes and the service was brilliant!

My friend and I visited this pub today for lunch…my birthday treat. The pub decor is delightful and the staff were friendly. We both ordered the nut roast from the Specials Board as we are vegetarians (not vegans) and this was served with ‘roast potatoes...

Lovely cosy bar. Great food. Great service.

My wife and I came here for Sunday lunch, we both had the roast beef. It's a tiny bit pricier than some places but worth every penny. Definitely in my top ten Sunday roasts of all time, and served by friendly people in a pleasant...

Fab little hotel - was perfect location for a meeting I had nearby. Rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated! Room was super comfortable and slept soundly through to my alarm! Ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Service was great. Super friendly team! Will be back!

This is a lovely village pub which I do like and has a good atmosphere. We went for Sunday Lunch expecting this to be really good , however were sadly disappointed with the portion sizes. So many other country pubs we have visited served double...

Amazing staff, great food and a lovely green to sit and drink and watch the world go by on.

Stayed overnight in The Crown Inn due to my partner having a reunion there. Everyone enjoyed their amazing lunch and drinks, I was surprised my partner ate fish and chips (he never does) but he reported back to me they looked and were delicious! The...

Went for an evening meal with friends. Lovely atmosphere and setting. Food was amazing, hot, which is a must for me. Service attentive. Would def recommend even for just a drink if passing.

Went in this lovely pub, on way home from visiting Arundel, had steak 🥩 and chips 🍟, lovely hot chips, best I've had in ages !!!😋, and sticking toffee pudding after. Would go again 🤗

We have been meaning to visit this restaurant having been recommended it by others. We were not to be disappointed. The restaurant has a very nice ambience, slightly eclectic, but it gives you a very warm feeling. The staff were very friendly throughout our visit...

Love it! Friendly. Lovely setting. Dog friendly.

We called in by chance for lunch on a tour round the area and we were immediately greeted warmly and shown to a table. Our drinks order was taken and arrived quickly, and menus brought. Our meal was delicious, and the whole bar area had...

We were greeted by one of the team who made us feel immediately 'right at home' Pub closed but a G&T brought to our room which we were booked in early to! Very clean room, We have traveled extensively but loved the personal touches including...

We stayed here as part of our trip to the Nyetimber Vineyard nearby. We were told we would be able to check in early as no one was staying in our rooms the night before, but when we arrived the pub was locked. We called...

Comfy table for two. Clean, open beams style decor. Decent beers and good choice of meats. Lovely fresh veg and roasties done in goose fat. Staters were tasty and overall good service ,minimal wait. One for a return.

Very nice pub / restaurant / hotel on village green. Evening meals and beers excellent. Breakfasts arrangements strange; can't eat in pub, have to have food from cool box. Bedroom quite small. Very close to Knepp wilding centre

Delicous moules and fantastic service, will be back!

Dinner bed and breakfast for 2 for £200 needs to be much better than this. It started badly and got worse Service of drinks on arrival was glum and joyless .Dinner consisted of a mean little starter followed by a really tiny fillet steak( £26!)and...

We dined here mid week whilst staying at Knepp. The food was good although the service was a bit hit and miss once the main courses had been served. We had already decided we would have a dessert but sat around ages waiting for menus...

Enjoyed a quiet, midweek evening meal. Food was excellent, especially the whitebait, service was friendly, attentive and efficient. Good value for money and will return.

Food is wonderful, atmosphere is perfect. The pub is beautiful with a welcoming atmosphere. As cosy as you’d want a British pub to be, but plenty of room for everyone. Staff are great, drinks are great, food is perfect. Recommend to everyone

Limited Menu because of present situation. Very polite staff. We had the pie off the specials board which was excellent. Good luck to all for 2021

What a great Pub, the pork belly is the best in Sussex, the Pint of Guinness I had was the best I have had for a very long time, friendly staff and great service, it is everything you would expect from a great pub and...

During the November Lockdown, The Crown Inn is doing its Takeaway menu. We had two Steakburgers, which were cooked to perfection (Medium/Well Done) and in a really good quality Ciabatta bun. The Triple Cooked chips were also delicious. Well done The Crown, and we look...

We visited today for lunch and the pub is lovely along with the food. My only gripe is the fact that you have to order on an app even though there are people there who could have taken an order when it wasn't busy, using...

The chef came to speak to me regarding my coeliac & I felt very safe ordering although it is a shame that it is not detailed on the menu. The online ordering is a great idea! We enjoyed our meals. We chose to sit outside...

Lovely food, helpful and pleasant staff. Great spot for lunch.

The crown have really thought about all aspects of COVID and it felt very very safe . Food as always was very good and with all the new precautions the service was still very good . The app is a good idea although it took...

We are regular Sunday roast attendees at The Crown. It's normally excellent, but yesterday's roast belly of pork was so beautifully moist, yet crisp on the outside, that the sheer deliciousness of it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Combined with outstanding roast potatoes, cauliflower...
