I don’t usually write reviews but just wanted to show our appreciation. First time visiting this pub on Monday with my partner and two kids. We walked in and was greeted by a member of staff called Charlotte, we ordered two vodka and cokes and then we were told about the £6 round which worked out a better deal then we previously suggested so saved money there! We were also told it was free pool on a Monday which my teenager kids were happy about I think it’s a good deal on a Monday, saves a couple pounds which helps. Average price for drinks and the pub is a little outdated so could do with an update but I would recommend visiting ( especially on a Monday for the pool!) friendly staff always helps! Hope to return soon.

I’m not usually one to write reviews but it has been a couple of years since I’ve been in the Dolphin. I’d heard it is now under new management so, thought I would stop by with the Mrs on our way home for a cheeky drink. Walking through the door and the change in atmosphere is immediately apparent. Staff are smart and cheerful. Drinks are decently priced with some great deals. James served us, top bloke. Super friendly and courteous. I’ll be back again soon. Thanks for a great end to a normal Tuesday. Cheers

Stayed far too long, got into trouble lol Don't know what these other reviewers are on about. Maybe it's a bit too classy for them. It reminded me of an American bar I went to in Florida.

So me and my family booked a table to come and see the live music. Sat at a table at the back as they thought we may have the dog with us. When the lady behind the bar noticed we had no dog she said we could move to a closer table. So as we went to move tables the lady who runs the pub shouted over us, they cant sit there, no apologies or reasoning just completely blanked us. She then proceeded to say that this isnt worth the trouble, speaking rudely to her staff, and shouting and swearing. Needless to say we didn't stay a second longer.

Thought we would give this pub a go for Sunday lunch after a walk around Littlehampton. Decorated with a wartime theme and done very well. The food was amazing we had the pork option and the veggie option. So much of it and amazing value. Two huge Sunday roasts for 22.00 The staff are friendly. The barmaid chatty but not intrusive and the chef lady you could tell 100 percent lovingvwhat she does. All veg was fresh and lots of meat. Give it a go. Littlehampton town centre isnt that nice but this pub really is. Highly recommended by us.

Visited this pub for a Sunday Roast with a friend. Our visit was in October and the Halloween decorations were plentiful (transpires this pub has something of a haunted history/interest). This is a proper pub with good features and drinks available; understand the real ales available change from time to time too, so always something new to try from time to time. There is garden seating available also but unlike some we chose to sit inside and both ordered the beef Sunday Roast. This was brought to us in a very reasonable time and the presentation, quantity (including an extra pot of gravy each) and taste of it was superb. Price for a Sunday Roast (on a Sunday as opposed to midweek) was very good too (£11.95 each or, as in our case, 2 meals for £20). My friend and I like a chat so we stayed for a few more drinks after eating (Service was fast and the server remembered what we were drinking too) and consequently got a bonus of watching a great band (Railroad), so we ended up staying until they finished playing around 7pm; the pub is a supporter of live music so regularly has live music acts playing. Would definitely visit this pub again and recommend others to do so.

When ordering food we were asked if we wanted pigs in blankets, which were not already cooked, when they did arrive (over 30 mins), they were so undercooked i wouldnt even feed it to my dogs. The cavery service area was messy, burnt potatoes, lack of vegetables. I asked if I could have some pork scrachings which were on the side, only to be told "they are only for show". Absolutely awful place! Most definitely wont go back there! Waste of money, awful food.

A nice pub and a good stop for a Sunday roast. Each one comes with a parsnip, roast potatoes and giant Yorkshire pudding, and on the wide with a serving of cauliflower cheese, broccoli, carrots and mange tout peas.
