The Dog and Bacon in Horsham

There were 5 of us, all friends. We had different meals. The food we thought was average. They do not do French Fries - what a shame. The service was excellent. Pity on emeal was forgotten and had to remind staff. That should not happen.

We attended today for a wake and were very impressed with the service. Kathryn was so kind and made the booking process so seamless at a time that is naturally difficult. The food and designated area were all set up for our arrival and the bar staff were very friendly and attentive. The Victoria sponge was incredible and all the food was tasty and fresh. Thank you

New management and wow what a difference! Pub quiz is back on the monthly rota with Phil the Quiz Master who has made the whole experience great fun! We are excited for the ongoing programmes in May morris dancers and food trucks! This couple are making this pub a family friendly destination and the talk of the town.

Wow what a change in atmosphere! Packed most Friday nights. Incredibly friendly and welcoming - Dogs are definitely welcome - my two Golden Retrievers absolutely love being there. Catherine and Steve have, in a very short space of time, created a wonderful relaxing pub

Racially ejected even though im english and from pompey, just a work man on a hot day looking for a pint. Landlady absolutely vile and racist, thinking i was a traveller. Never use such a dive again. The beer was good which is a shame as the service is crap

My daughter and I returned to the Dog and Bacon for lunch on Thursday and both sampled different things from the home-cooked menu. As before, the lady behind the bar was very attentive, friendly and efficient. The food was beautifully hot, well presented and quick to be served. We will be back with other family members soon. Thank you.

Certainly not the warmest welcome I've encountered...and to add insult to injury they are overly expensive, I wouldn't mind but it's a bit tatty too. You can quite clearly see the huge profits are not being spent on giving the customers a more satisfying visit.

Food was terrible burnt and cold in the middle burger ( clearly frozen) the owner well she was rude as hell , Will never being going back ,

We have been in this pub several times with no issues, we have 2 large dogs and the bar staff have been great, this time however we ran up against the land lady, I had gone on ahead and bought our drinks as soon as the dogs came in she told us to drink up and leave. Now as I said they are large dogs however there wasn't many in the bar in fact it was pretty empty, the only problem we have with the dogs is everyone wants to come over and see them, not that they mind of course, they are very friendly and love people. It is of course the owners right to ask us to leave which we did, however it was done in a very unpleasant way, no explanation just drink up and leave

So after a brief phone call to confirm availability, we once again headed to The Dog and Bacon ,where a very warm welcome awaited us.after a brief perusal of the menu, we both decide to go for the roast's on offer. My friend decided on chicken, whilst i deemed the beef a good choice. We chose our refreshment from the well stocked bar and awaited our foods arrival.We were not disappointed, this arrived after only 17 minutes, and was well presented, hot and with a range of condiments.this was extremely good , great value ,and very welcome as we had both been very hungry. we ,once again found the bar staff extremely helpful .the food was great and our appetite's appeased.This isn't fine dining ,but it doesn't profess to be .It's just great pub food, in a welcoming environment, serving some great well kept ales .

My friend and I visited for Sunday lunch, we have often dropped in for a quick drink in the past as the beer here is always well looked after, but we had previously never actually tried the food. It turns out we have been missing out, we both chose the Sunday roast and were very pleased, food arrived quickly, was perfectly sized and was hot and freshly prepared. We really couldn't fault the service, which was attentive and discrete Good value for money, would recommend.

I would like to rate the food and drinks for this pub. Stopped off for Sunday lunch on way to Gatwick. Waited at bar. Several locals drinking pints at bar but nobody behind it. I visited the ladies, husband waited at bar. Husband went to loo I waited at the bar. Still no service. Asked the locals who ‘didn’t know where she was’ waited another 5 minutes and left. Nice clean toilets- thank you for the facilities but a 15 minute wait at an empty bar was too much for us. We have a plane to catch!

Efficient service good value for money ample parking I shall return menu choices are varied and beer is served as it should be sentence delete sentence a friendly establishment not in the centre of Horsham

Nice pub with good menu of starters a, mains and sweets. Good portions for a realistic price Friendly staff would go again and free parking away from town centre restaurants

Used to go hear a lot many years ago but this was first time in 4 years and the last. The five - 6 chaps who sat at bar or playing darts whilst drinking a single pint and making last just kept making comments and swearing all the time. Clearly no one at home wants them so it’s the only place to go. New customers are good customers but these people are killing he place. Just as well the other halves didn’t wanna join us as they’d have dragged us out

This is the second time this month we have eaten lunch here. Really good choice of menu and daily specials. Food was excellent and service extremely good. Would definitely recommend.

Had a couple of Sunday roasts now and on both occasions the roast has been very good. Excellent value for money (less than £10). will be back again very shortly.

So we called in here for tea and my god it was delicious !!!! Almost like going to your Mums for tea , food hot and tasty , not complicated but very good !!!!! Steak and kidney pudding was amazing !!!! We came away with full bellys and happy ! Not expensive , will return !!!

He vivido a 5 minutos de la D & será por más de 15 años, y honestamente puedo decir que es mi favorito pub en Horsham. Siempre abierto a las 12. 00 en el dot (durante los últimos 15 años, de todos modos) y cierra a las 23. 00, abierto hasta la medianoche del viernes. La comida es estupenda relación calidad-precio. si no ya, tienes que probar las costillas y el asado de los domingos es tan bueno - la cerveza es siempre bien servido y en un día caliente de verano, el jardín es una parada de bienvenida para un caminante cansado. Un gran pub, buena comida, buen personal, pruébalo.

My wife and I have often visited the Dog and Bacon over the past 20 years. It was wonderful. We called there this morning at 11.30 as we were passing after a long drive. It was shut. Never again!

Stopped here with some friends for a bit of lunch. Lovely little pub with nice beer garden, although facing the road. Lots of parking, lovely bar lady and really good service. Beer was spot on and the food was both reasonably priced and very nice. Well recommended, and would happily visit again.

Un salto en el camino de vuelta desde compras en Croydon (solemos ir a "uno de la carretera", pero estaba muy lleno) Teníamos hambre y recibió un buen menú y personal amable, no tuve que esperar mucho tiempo para la comida, mi compañero tenía la pierna de cordero, que era delicioso, tuve una hamburguesa y patatas fritas igualmente delicioso. El ambiente en el bar del vestíbulo era bueno con varios clientes de todas las edades.

Almorzamos en el perro y el tocino en un día de fiesta. El personal era amable y acogedor. Tuvimos una gran variedad de platos de comida de pub - asado, tarta, costillas, etc., y aunque no puede ser descrita como un 3 estrellas Michelín, toda la familia fue feliz. Yo estaba feliz porque no romper el banco.

Encantador pub local que sirve comida excelente, buena para eventos deportivos. Le espera una cálida bienvenida de Steve y Debs.

Had an evening meal with friends. Top marks on the Prosecco at only £16 a bottle, and the cleanliness of the pub. However, the food was very average. Steak and kidney pudding, which was very nice, was accompanied by about 20 new potatoes??? Liver was acceptable but was covered in a sauce that was very glutenish and almost set. Fish and chips was ok, but the fish looked like Birds Eye portions. The meals were very big, which can be so off putting. Less is more

So my other half treated me to a birthday lunch and we went to the dog and bacon. Parking was fine and easy to find. The Diet Coke in itself had a bit of a funky taste to it but it does normally seem to vary from pub to pub. The menu seemed to be fairly limited with less traditional pub food that we expected. As we couldn't see a main that we fancied (I am a little bit fussy but as above menu wasn't great) we ordered a starter each. I had potato skins- very greasy, fatty bacon and only a small amount of what could appear to be potato for quite abit of money! The other half had a nacho chilli thing- he said it was greasy and the cheese was funky! Decor okay, seats aren't particularly comfortable. Bar lady/waitress was pleasant.

What looks like a lovely country pub from the outside is anything but inside. A totally confused decor that seems to have been furnished with anything they can get their hands on, mainly 70s men's club, sums this place up. Visited for a quiet pint and was stared at by the 'locals' the entire time I was stood at the bar as the effed and blinded and dropped cement off their clothes. The staff couldn't have been less welcoming or the beer poured more ineptly. Avoid like the plague.

Staying nearby on campsite and having done lots of walking was looking for some really hearty food, i couldn't believe it when i saw steak and kidney pudding on the menu. The food was plentiful, tasty and hit the spot.

We dropped in here for an early drink (2 glasses of white wine) and ended up selecting a platter to share, which complemented our wines. The platter was made up of spicy wings, curly fries, 2 x dips (bbq and sweet chilli), onion rings, etc, etc. Great if you want to go home with something in your belly !

We all had a roast and 2 of our meals has blood in the chicken and they didn't do anything about it. The service was unfriendly and the price was a bit on the expensive side for what you get. I would not recommend it and would never return.

We go regularly here for lunch...nice food at decent prices and prompt service. Says it all really. Top of the list when we are thinking of lunch out.

Went today for a spot of lunch as we was in the area. The inside of the pub was fairly clean and the staff were friendly. Food came out fairly quickly however was only average quality felt like cheaper meats were defiantly used and was somewhat GreasyIn a good part of the area and car park looked nice and secure No wifi

A small local pub with a separate restaurant area to the bar. The food menu is small with a selection of specials all cooked to a very high standard. We recommend the chilli, the hunters chicken and the ribs (oh the ribs mmmmmm). The beer range is slightly limited, however the beers that are on offer are kept well. The bar staff are friendly and approachable. All you need in a good local.

Our first visit to the Dog and Bacon was pleasant and enjoyable and we said at the time that we would be returning and returned we have, soggy chips was our gripe on our previous visit as when ordering our meal this time we requested that the chips be on the side of the plate and not under the rack of ribs.What a pleasent suprise when the Landlady asked if it was our review from the previously visit and thanked us for our comments. It was good to see our advice had been taken notice of and the chips came up in a side bowl which was well presented.Once again as we left our friends who we see only on the odd occasions with the words from our last visit,,WE WILL RETURN.

This person & his "friends" called in to this pub on Saturday 17th. January, (about the only correct fact to his story) at 10.55. P.M. (please note the time!) The reason they were asked to be quick (as the landlady pointed out to them) was that last orders had been called 5 minutes before these people had arrived. Why were they so late in getting here- was it that they might have been asked to leave the other pub mentioned due to their arrogant, rude & selfish manner I ask myself & they thought they could take their attitude into the Dog & Bacon & upset not only the landlord & landlady, but the "local" as well? not to mention the barmaid who had only started there that very evening.No one told these arrogant people not to use empty seats, but when they did, they made sure that they bashed them against the table which I (the "local") was sitting at and made me worry that I was going to lose what beer was left in my glass, as by now time at the bar had been called.The T.V. was turned off around this time (after time had been called)- which is the right of the landlady to do, as it is her pub- not theirs. Late comers remember? The "local" (me again) felt very intimidated by two of this rabble, as they kept looking at me, and then sniggering at each other. I tried not to react to this until I noticed it happening a third time, at which I remarked "is there something wrong?" which (at last) finished this nonsense from them.Apart from this, the staff or owner did not give any dirty looks or abuse to these people.All that was happening around these people was the staff were clearing up & wiping the tables, etc. as is done in most other pubs at this time. But by now , I was so fed up with the attitude of these people, I moved to the other bar, finished the rest of my drink and went home.Since this happened, I was informed about this pack of lies on this page by this Glen J, but was also told by the people concerned in this that these people had the neck to go up to the bar at 11.15 P.M. & asked to have another drink- did they think they were going to get a lock in & because they were refused, is this the reason for this rubbish appearing on the previous "review."A couple of points on this business, you spell "were" like this, & not "where," so perhaps some spelling lessons might come in handy in future!Why did you wait until the Monday to write your tale of woe- did you use your firms equipment & electricity to save your own & does your boss know you use their stuff (in their time) which is surely not the done thing is it? Shame on "Trip Advisor" for allowing nonsense by these sort of people in the first place. Genuine people, such as this landlord & landlady could lose their business due to these types & your rubbish site!!!!

Stopped off here Sat 17th Jan for a quick pint at 10. 40pm with 7 friends after a meal at Smith & Western . Asked owner if they where still open, yes she said but you will have to be quick. From this point on it was awful, never been anywhere so rude and unwelcoming, told we could not use empty seats and TV was immediately turned off. One of the locals was very rude to a female in our party and i have never received so many dirty looks from staff and owner in my life. We where clearly not welcome as the owner wanted to shut up quickly which begs the question why tell us they where still open. No wonder so many pubs are closing down if this is the sort of treatment good paying customers are getting." GIVE THIS ONE A MISS"

Good standard pub grub, value for money, good selection on menu, very relaxed, would go again as have been recommended their roast dinner by other diners.

Visited here 10 days before Christmas & i was surprised to find it fairly quiet as we had tried several pubs in Horsham, which were all fully booked up. Food was very good & very hot,. quick service polite staff. Very clean - but pub smelt of bleach. Plain decor.. Worth a return visit for the food,of which there is a good choice.

Dropped into tha Dog & Bacon following a terrible six hour journey from Wiltshire, due to major issues on the M25 causing most of the trunk routes through Surrey to become gridlocked. The original plan was to dine in an Indian restaurant before flying off to the USA. However, as the hours dragged on, we decided to stop a the next welcoming looking pub and so happened upon the Dog & Bacon. We both chose the steak pudding, mash potato and vegetables, as our last bit of British, before travelling to The States. The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere good and the food certainly hit the spot.

We have passed by this pub restaurant a few times and always say " We must try it some time", this is that sometime and what a very pleasent time it was, we visit friends locally and normaly eat out when together so we booked this early for the saturday evening, being a nice evening plenty of people were eating outside and the food was coming from the kitchen quiet steady. a polite welcome and greeting from the lady behind the bar and we were shown to our table by the window which looked out onto the patio area, but back from the road. a very good choice on the menu and also on the blackboard special 3 of us ordered the rack of ribs and mouth watering they were one had steak and kidney pudding and what a pudding it turned out to be.With our drinks and food the bill £52 and well worth every penny, one draw back to suggest to the kitchen," please do not put the chips or curly fries under the ribs as it makes them soggy" i will ask them on our return very soon.

Having only just recently started visiting the Dog & Bacon I'm amazed that I have only just discovered this gem of a pub! The garden is lovely on a sunny day, I recently visited with the family after an afternoon stroll and we sat out in the sunshine and had some lunch. We ordered a roast which was lovely and even my hard to please brother who is a chef thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Since that time we have returned on several occasions and always had a great meal and a lovely welcome from the staff. The food is reasonably priced, tasty and the service quick and friendly. I'm really surprised by the negative review that precedes mine as I've never had a bad experience there and wonder why if you didn't like the food or service you'd return 3 times, have to wonder if it's a personal attack rather than an authentic review as sadly this seems common practise!

We moved to Horsham earlier this year and hoped that this would be a nice friendly local for us, as it's only a few minutes walk, but unfortunately it's got a lot of work to do. Maybe nice to have a beer in the garden when the sun's out, but not much else from my experience.On the first visit I had a burger and my partner a Sunday roast, but both were below average. Poorly cooked and probably a lot of frozen, cheap produce. I've also had a simple cheese & ham baguette here when returning to watch a football game, but even that was terrible. How hard is it get that right? When you're filling a baguette with shop bought grated cheese (dry & bland), you can't really claim to care about the taste of the food. Unfortunately the service has also been poor on the three times I've been. Very unwelcoming when we had a baby with us, slow to serve and it generally seems like they don't really care about attracting new regulars. I wouldn't post a negative review based on one visit (everyone has bad days), but after three I think it's fair enough - hopefully the feedback will be taken on board, but I'd be very surprised if the landlord/lady actually reads these reviews.

I recently came to the dog and bacon with my partner for drinks and some food which we really enjoyed. The pub was very clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

I called in her whilst out on my own for a quick lunch, as I walked in the door a nicely written chalk board mentioned traditional home cooked meals upon which was listed gammon, egg and chips with peas or salad. I opted for this as it sounded delicious. To my dismay the meal did not live up to expectations I was served with tinned chopped and reformed ham onto which was slapped a couple of undercooked fried eggs which left the "ham" dripping in smelly oil. The meal slid about on the plate there was so much oil and the smell was not at all appetizing, I'm attaching a picture so that you can see I am not exaggerating. If the server had bothered to re visit me to ask if I was satisfied I would have let him know but he was not at all concerned. Upon leaving I was not even acknowledged. I will never return.

I really don't understand these previous comments. I have been a local here for 18 years. This is a great pub and the food is excellent as is the atmosphere. This rubbish about the pub hasn't been decorated for 40 years! That is so incorrect as had a referb only 9 years ago. Also the front of the pub was painted only this year. I think these people with these vicious comments need to get a life and stop talking rubbish.

.......... and it never really changes. It used to be a real local boozer, a place to drop into when walking the dog. The food is average OK unexciting fills-a-gap pub food and the place doesn't seem to have been decorated in the 40 years I've known it which is the very worst aspect of it. It's also quite cold - you need to keep on your outdoor coat most of the time. If you're desperate, it will serve the purpose but you really wouldn't choose to go here if you had the option of other places in the town.

We just moved in the area and wanted to try local places for Sunday dining. The Dog and the Bacon was the very first we visited since it is almost next door to us.It was not a good experience, really. The restaurant room, as well as the bar area, are unappealing, just like the food.The starters looked like industrial (pate) and absolutely tasteless. It may well be they had bought at a local supermarket and simply unpacked before serving. For the main, my partner went for a roast: the beef was incredibly chewy and she gave up on it.I went for a burger that was not much better because of its smell (very, very unpleasant). We left before having finished our dishes and it is very unlikely we'll be back there before long.The staff was alright and that pub may be just good for having a drink on the outdoor terrace in Summer. Prices are relatively low.

Went there for lunch with work colleagues. Chose a bacon, stilton and mushroom sandwich, which wasnt the best, bacon was very fatty and the mushroom wasnt properly cooked. Nice quiet pub but food not great.
