The Elsted Inn in Chichester

Called early one Saturday lunchtime and had a ploughman's lunch. They were very quiet, but I suspect this was due to the poor weather and our timing. The food and drink was great, with a large portion, and we will return.

What a lovely surprise this was. At first, I was a bit skeptical as the barman was a bit grumpy. But he turned out to have a heart of gold. The food at diner was very nice and the vegetarian dish was very tasty. In the morning the breakfast was a delight and they even gave us a free lunch package as we were nice to the dog.😄

Booked early for supper. Although a table had been reserved the location given was cramped and uncomfortable with very little leg room. The food I ordered consisted of a baked dish of small bacon pieces, cheese etc which was well presented and tasty. The main, of coronation chicken salad however was excessively oily and cloying. The pudding ordered was a meringue which seemed to be a commercially made one topped with fresh fruit and cream. On the whole I found the experience rather disappointing particularly for the price although I must say the service and wait times were good.

We stayed recently at the Elsted Inn for a couple of nights whilst attending a wedding nearby . The hosts and staff were helpful and welcoming , nothing was too much trouble. Lovely family dog as well!

What a truly wonderful pub! Incredible location , set inside the South Downs national park. Great walking & cycling all around. I had a delicious home made burger , made with locally sourced meat. My two dogs were welcomed as well! Highly recommend their Sunday roasts too!

Popped in for some lunch. Staff were amazing and location was great as well. I will definitely be back.

Spiffing location with some wonderful staff and a dazzling array of food and drinks. Eddies a cutie !

A lovely welcome, all the good was piping hot. Great fluffy chips. Open fires. Great roast today. Coffee in a decent sized cup.

We went to celebrate a birthday. We were given a very warm welcome and enjoyed a delicious meal - fish and chips, sausage and mash - both were piping hot. Very tasty. Deserts were delicious too. Roaring fire. Hosts very attentive and friendly. Thank you.

We booked the Inn having seen the website of the previous owners which turned out to be a non-existent place. We were therefore in for a surprise: Steve and Maria had only just taken over the place and were actually closed-door! But they kindly booked us in for the night on a B&B basis. Much needed as we had walked 22 miles. They bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable, they were very welcoming, the food (bangers and mash veg option!!) was fantastic and tasty, the fire was roaring even in the morning during a wonderful breakfast. The room was nice and we woke up to a lovely morning with the room basking in the sunshine. Maria and Steve have a lot of work to do but have most certainly started and I reckon this inn will be one of the best in the surroundings.

Went to the Elstead Inn for lunch had an amazing food large portions and great value highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere, comfortable armchair seating with good range of drinks and the real ale was good. We had a great meal in a pleasant dining area and I would happily recommend to anyone.

Called in on a very wet day. Landlord was on his own but very happy to do lunch for us. We both had BLT baguettes with chips which were really good. We used to go there years ago but hear there have been problems with previous landlords. We really hope the new landlord succeeds

What a lovely country pub, the new Landlord Paul and his staff were most welcoming. A great selection of bitters on draft (other drinks also available 😀) We ate with friends and had a lovely three course meal, all beautifully cooked and presented. And the bill with two bottles of very pleasant red wine, was exceptionally reasonable, and a fair bit less than most pubs in the area. Well worth a visit, and we shall return.

So glad we decided to revisit the Elsted Inn after quite a break. The new landlord Paul is very welcoming and he certainly serves up a wonderful meal. Very generous portions and beautifully cooked. We will certainly be visiting again the next time we are in the Midhurst area.

Very comfortable ensuite room. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and considerate hospitality. I'll definitely be making this my go to place to stay while at Goodwood races and will be very disappointed if a room isn't available!

Popped in at the elsted as was going past for a beer. Got to say the ale was kept very well had a pint of 6x 10 out of 10 thanks for bring the ale back Paul wish you all the best

We arrived at Pauls place late in the evening with the motorcycle after driving 560km from The Netherlands. We had a very nice stay! Next morning Paul prepared breakfast, the typical English one with thea and juice and it was AMAZING!!

What a difference! New owner, Paul, has made an immediate impact on this once great pub. Not only has he got great plans for the future but he has made real improvements already. The beer is well kept and sensibly priced, the food is proper pub food with absolutely no pretensions to be ‘gastro’! We ate there tonight and along with other diners really enjoyed our well cooked and presented meal. The place has clearly had a thorough clean and lick of paint and once again feels welcoming, relaxed and homely. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Long may the improvements continue. If you haven’t been before or for a long time - give it a try. You won’t be disappointed !

The Elsted Inn, with its warm log fires and inviting atmosphere, is a true gem among pubs. And Rosemarie, the landlady, is the heart and soul of this wonderful establishment. Before you step through the door feast your eyes on Rosemarie’s hanging baskets as you are welcomed with a friendly smile and made to feel at home. Rosemarie is an exceptional host, always going above and beyond to ensure that her guests have the best possible experience. The pub's cozy atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with friends or family, and the log fires create a warm and inviting ambiance. The décor is rustic and charming, with plenty of character and history that adds to the overall charm of the place. The drinks selection is also excellent, with a range of beers on offer, Rosemarie is always on hand to offer recommendations and advice. Overall, The Elsted Inn is a fantastic pub with a fantastic landlady. Rosemarie's warmth, hospitality, make this pub a must-visit for anyone in the area. If you're looking for a cozy pub with great drinks, and a warm and inviting atmosphere, look no further than The Elsted Inn.

Staying in area and decided to go to the elsted on the recommending of some people we meet while walking. We had a great time,food was amazing had the sea bass and my wife had the chicken Frances. Both where amazing,ale was good Atlantic IPA Will definitely be back when we are in the area again,and a big thank you to rosiemarie the landlady..

Three generations of our family had Sunday lunch. Generous servings of good food (including well cooked vegetarian options), served by friendly staff. The oldies were grateful for the acoustic - it wasn’t noisy. The main thing was the welcoming atmosphere. Look forward to visiting again.

Went here for dinner and drinks while on a camping trip with friends. The owner and staff were friendly, funny and great company, and the food was lovely. Will definitely drop in again when next in the area. 😁

Having walked around Toton - Stedham area in the morning we called in for a light lunch. This is a lovely pub with a warm weclome from the land lady / owner. Good sandwich menu and our selections were served in very generous portions. Plenty...

Stayed in the pub accomdation. Clean rooms in seperate converted building. Dog friendly room option, with access topub garden. Very friendly landlady with chef serving fantastic food, including our breakfast. Steak and mussels exceptional. If we lived local we would eat there regularly.

A lovely dog-friendly traditional country pub just between harting and Midhurst. We visited yesterday for a drink and were made very welcome - as was our dog. We were hoping for a sandwich lunch but the pub was fully booked and did not cater for bar snacks on a Sunday - slightyl disappointing but we will return as the food looked very good indeed and the selection of ales excellent.

The dishes were all excellent. As we had not booked and they were full the choice of dishes was restricted but this reflected their use of fresh local produce. A very enjoyable evening

We stayed at The Elsted Inn overnight and we couldn’t have been happier.The B&B was clean, comfortable and suitably equipped with complimentary tea, coffee, water, chocolate, biscuits and even Christmas Crackers.The staff at the Inn made us feel like we were part of the family and during dinner at the pub was constantly trying to make sure we were comfortable on a cold winters night.Food was excellent, all homemade, used all local produce and the chef was completely flexible with our food allergies. We needed to leave early the next morning and the chef prepared a breakfast ready to go which was amazing!A real pleasure to stay - we WILL be back!

As a pub this is a down to earth place with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is run very professionally, clean and inviting with all the charm of a Country Inn. Nice beer garden with an outdoor lounge for smokers. Dog friendly.We've not eaten here as yet but it does all look very good!!

Visited the Elsted Inn this afternoon to celebrate my Husband's birthday. Had read the reviews on this site and wasn't disappointed. Excellent home cooked food and very friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely ambiance. We will definitely be returning.

Stayed overnight (attending a wedding reception at Southdowns Manor) and had a most enjoyable stay.

We met midway with family from Hampshire and West Sussex to celebrate mine and my mum's birthdays; 7 humans and 2 dogs. We had such a warm welcome from Thais, and enjoyed sitting by the fire with drinks on arrival.The table for our group was perfect, and Thais blocked the exit nearby so we weren't disturbed. She was so thoughtful to my niece's dietary requirements and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed delicious Sunday roasts and desserts, in a relaxed atmosphere which was made even better by the pub bring dog friendly.Thanks so much Thais and team for a perfect afternoon. We're looking forward to meeting up at your inn again before too long.Wendy Wood

We arrived at 8pm after me describing what a lovely cosy pub the Elsted is to my mother-in-law who was treating us to a meal during her stay. Therefore, so disappointed to walk into a fire which was not lit. We had to ask for menus and would have liked to see them before deicing what we were drinking but a small point, we should have said. The dining room was quite full but it still felt far less warm than we expected. We went straight to mains which were gorgeous, ie venison pie, ox cheek and a fillet of brill all accompanied with lovely vegetables. The Guinness was good apparently and the French Sauvignon fine. All our desserts were exceptional but by this time even my husband's legs (and he is always warm) felt almost cold. We noticed the fire in the bar area for the drinkers was lit so were baffled by an empty fire the diner's side. We drove home and boosted the car heater and agreed we wouldn't rush back which is such a shame but for half an hour's drive away not a comfortable evening.

Living some distance from my brother we meet every few months for lunch in a pub with our wives. This time we chose the Elsted Inn with little prior knowledge apart from the web.

What a hidden gem of a place! I so much prefer staying in friendly places such as this rather than dull and boring hotels. Room was perfect, and one of the most comfortable beds I can remember sleeping in! Breakfast was utterly amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. It's also nice to have a proper conversation with the business owner. I would definitely return, and my only regret is that I don't live closer.

Having brought together family from Milton Keynes, Surrey and London for a weekend stay at a rented cottage on the South Downs to celebrate my wife's 65th birthday, I had pre-booked a table for Sunday lunch at The Elsted Inn as a convenient stop off for all of us as we began our journey home; what a great choice it turned out to be!

As I said in my last review , always a pleasure to eat drink and be merry in this lovley inn.

My wife and I come every year to from Italy for the Goodwood Revival to this little hidden gem. We booked it one week before because foreigners love particularly the creative mood of their chef.

I must apologise to the proprietors of The Elsted Inn for my less than favourable review last time, I hadn't realised everything was prepared from scratch, so I went back for a second go.

A ten minute drive from Petersfield, where I live , have past this inn without giving it a second glance to many times to remember

Although I have called in here numerous times over the years for a beer(s) from the excellent selection of real ales and on occasions something to eat from the lunch/light bites menu, I was fortunate enough to be staying as a B & B guest for seven nights in May this year and the food, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner is truly superb. The menu choice is quite diverse and original with a high percentage of ingredients being sourced locally and presented beautifully having been prepared freshly to order complimented by the receptive, friendly and personal service from the whole team.

Had had a lovely 3 course Mother's day lunch. Could not fault it but you need to book well in advance. Cosy atmosphere and because I was not driving I could have their house red and a dessert wine with pudding - very nice. Various beers on offer but didn't try any - a shame!

Delicious home cooked, fresh and seasonal food in a welcoming setting. Friendly, helpful and efficient, we were all well looked after, including the dog!

Booked at the Elsted Inn for a birthday dinner (Mother's 75th, party of ten). We popped along during the week before and met Thais and were able to discuss arrangements and menu options for my daughter who has a dairy allergy; all good, also met the friendly pub dog :) On the evening everything was great: the table was laid beautifully, the welcome and service from Thais and her staff warm and genuine, the food was delicious and drinks (wines and beers) top notch. The pub has a gentle charm which we really like and little things like no intrusive

Relaxed atmosphere over lunch sitting in the garden courtyard. Staff friendly and efficient. Food surprisingly good from a diverse menu and different. The mackerel was superb and the egg mayonaise bap dish , excellent. Nice selection of wine.Their own homemade ice creams and desserts were mouth-wateringly luscious.

Utterly brilliant food, even though we turned up at 8.45 on the off chance... gorgeous chicken risotto and lamb dish was had by both... Lovely wine and great beer!!! Definitely a winner 😀😀😀 Great hospitality, friendly and relaxed...

My partner and I stayed at the Elsted Inn for a family wedding in the area on 16th and 17th August. We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, with relatives taking the other rooms. Sampled the well-stocked range of real ales at the bar and we all had an excellent meal on the first evening. The breakfast was very good as well. The lady owner made us very welcome and we also met her dog, Otto - a bit of a character!

Looking to have lunch on a Saturday and came across the Elsted.

The three of us really enjoyed our meal. The lamb and beef were very good, as were the accompanying vegetables.

What a fantastic find! Lovely pub with cosy relaxed atmosphere, cosy decor, friendly staff and great food. We were doing a stage of the Serpent Trail, and the Elsted Inn was a great place to end our walk. Steak and chips at £10 was excellent value with a lovely piece of steak - perfectly pink and full of flavour. Thoroughly recommended.

Enjoyed Sunday lunch with a few family members yesterday, didn’t find the welcome genuine however a good selection of interesting beer for my fussy partner!

We booked a table for dinner because of the many good reviews but were very disappointed. Firstly I would say the place lacked any real ambience - it didn’t have cosy charm or atmosphere and we noticed that the restaurant was t exactly buzzing. We had to wait a long time for service and the food was very average in our opinion. What we had was tasty enough but there was far too little of it! The fondant potato was just one piece of potato - delicious but a joke in regard to filling you. I normally don’t touch sugary desserts but was forced to order ice cream to give myself any sense of fullness! We both thought that overall it is a gastro pub that tries to be fine dining. This may suit some people but not us! We wouldn’t return.

Dined at the Elsted Inn twice this week with my wife. Really welcoming and friendly and the food was simply superb - well presented and beautifully cooked.

Booked a table as heard about the 5 star reviews at the three horseshoes, for some reason we live locally but have never ventured towards “the elsted inn” before and as regulars to the horseshoes we thought it would be time for a change. NEVER AGAIN.

My husband and I with our dog Tikka stayed here last week for a couple of nights. The room was small but had everything we needed. Very welcoming place and we were extremely well looked after. We dined in the pub both nights and the food was fantastic, my husband a fish eater and me a meat eater, there was delicious food to cater for both of us. At breakfast we were looked after by Thais and Oto and were served one of the most well cooked and enjoyable breakfast we have had the pleasure of eating. Thank you again for a wonderful stay and hopefully we will be back again.

On route from Southampton to Gatwick, saw a sign for this property and followed it.

A lovely little country pub BUT the accommodation (room 1) was very small. The bed is a standard double bed that has the noisiest mattress in the world. The slightest movement and the mattress grumbles and groans at you with noises from the springs. The tea/coffee cups were stained and had chipped rims. The kettle was in need of a descale.

Went for Sunday lunch. Warm welcome for people and their dogs. Nice garden and children allowed in and outside. Friendly and comfortable. First it was explained that the cooker wasn’t working properly, but they had our phone number so could have told us there would be delays... We didn’t feel we could manage starters and mains so were encouraged to have olives and bread which again we didn’t want so didn’t. To be told that mains would take longer than usual, and they did. The men had roasts and veg was served plated. They certainly could have done with an extra roast potato or two. The meat was just ok but the Yorkshire puds were flat. We didn’t bother with puds or coffee. Not sure we will return.

Met up with family for a lovely meal at this fabulous pub. The food was wonderful and our welcome was very special.

We recently stayed at the Elsted Inn for a nearby family wedding with our 2.5 year old son. Thais and her team were so helpful and responsive in advance of our visit (arranging babysitting, adjusting the booking) and the welcome and service during our stay was fantastic. The room was lovely, there is a great garden (and a very friendly resident dog) the evening meal and breakfasts were delicious. You are treated like a member of the family. Thank you for going above and beyond in looking after us!

A lovely find on a hot summer day, wonderful staff and a really friendly atmosphere, we sat in the garden luckily they had a big gazebo to sit under! Husband's steak was lovely and the hand cooked chips, he said the walnut Ice cream was the best ever!! My meze plate was ok I prefer warm pitta bread and chunky hummus it was a bit runny!!

We had a fantastic evening meal at the Elsted Inn.Very hospitable staff.Perfect place for a relaxable meal out, we sat in the garden enjoying a drink before going onside to a lovely set table and very good service. Well done Girls.

Had dinner here one midweek night, staying nearby in Bepton. The online menu had perhaps the best looking vegetarian options in the area. The food and cooking was superb. The chef even tweaked my wife's main to substitute a pesto for a cream based sauce at my wife's request. Service was top notch. And a real pub feel, not the gastropub hipster vibe found elsewhere. Just great food, great service, cozy surroundings. Would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

Greeted with a warm welcome we were shown our room which was quaint, clean and comfy. Perfect location for going to a wedding at Southdowns manor. The menu food at elsted inn was absolutely stunning and Thais, Charlie and Otto the puppy took good care of us at breakfast time. All in all staying here was a fab experience and highly recommend to all.

First time we went here, friendly and helpful staff throughout our visit. Nice informal place, limited car parking. We ordered the roasts, both very tasty and plentiful. Well presented and came quickly. Beer was very tasty, local brew bitter. Toilets very clean and fresh. Good selection of teas which were nice. Def recommend a visit.

Situated in the hamlet of Elsted Marsh rather than the village of Elsted this pub used to be called "The Railway" being sited by the station on the Pulborough to Petersfield line sadly closed around 1955. With just one bus per day at school times now public transport is not really an option any more.

Nice revamp for top pub keep ladies lovley food pleasant staff Freedom larger top choice will cost again Love the lord xxx

Yes, liked this very much: a superbly simple bar at the front, shorn of all unnecessary ornament and adornment, gives way to a lovely yet homely dining area - again, simply set out with a great atmosphere for bubbling gatherings of friends and families.

We go here quite often since finding it, we live locally in Midhurst. Staff and owners friendly and food is great. Good beer garden too. Well worth a trip. Has beer festival and music session nights also. Decor is cool too. Great local pub.

Very friendly and comfortable Pub just before the refurbishment. Had made a reservation by email and they'd reserved us a nice table. Very dog friendly and friendly staff. Good food, freshly made to order and made properly in a kitchen as oppose to bought in I think. You can taste the freshness and quality. Nice walks in the area too. Recommended.

We had the pleasure to stay and dine at the Elsted Inn .

We stayed a night here and were lucky to get the upstairs room with balcony - a g&t; looking out onto hills in the evening sun was a lovely start to the evening. The room was very comfortable, with everything we needed.

Whilst staying at the The Elsted Inn on our South Downs Way walk, we had dinner. I’m had monkfish, my partner had pork belly and lemon sponge and ginger treacle for pudding. All I can say is that we were both floored by the quality and care that these dishes brought. The staff were clearly knowledgeable but not at all pretentious. They just love what they do, and that translates.

An old school friend and I have been steadily working our way along the South Downs Way, a few stages at a time, each Easter holiday. With the final few stages to go, we arrived at the Elsted Inn to a warm and friendly welcome. Our initial impressions were confirmed by our one night stay. Everyone we met was friendly and accommodating, we both had a great night's sleep and the breakfast in the morning was really delicious.

Amazing meal, all cooked from scratch to order. Able to cope with our gluten free (celiac) requests with ease.

My family held a surprise 40th birthday party for me. A great place to do it with friendly staff, amazing food, the garden is great for children to play in. We all had a fantastic time. Thank you.

A warm and friendly pub with a good atmosphere. All three courses were excellent, the rib eye steak is one of the best I’ve had (if not the best!)

I don’t get here an awful lot but have friends who do. Always a good welcome and people to talk too. Does a good Sunday lunch.

Very friendly pub with great food and beers. Rooms are very good value. Do not miss if in the area. Great breakfast.

Stayed for one night before walking the harting section of the South Downs way. The room was lovely with a balcony and comfortable bed. The staff were all so friendly and consistently accommodating. Even going so far as to prepare last minute packed lunches, and an off-menu vegan meal. When we mentioned one of us was a vegan when booking we had no idea they would make the effort to prepare such a delicious dinner and breakfast - huge shout out to Gareth and his phenomenal ‘Facon’. Definitely stay here it’s great.

Four of us stumbled across this characterful, welcoming pub by accident on a Sunday lunchtime. We intended to just have a drink but were so impressed with the look of the pub and the friendly staff that we decided to stay for lunch. The mushroom ravioli, pork and beef roast dishes we had were delicious. All the ingredients are locally sourced, even the exotic choice of teas were a nice end treat.

Lovely pub, friendly and efficient service. Imaginative menu cooked to perfection. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Stumbled upon this pub by accident whilst out walking a few weeks ago and stopped for a quick drink. Was impressed by the warm welcome and how busy the pub was for a Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed our drinks whilst sat out enjoying the sunshine in the back garden. We then came back another time for an evening meal and the staff were again extremely friendly and the food was delicious. The mixture of fabulous local food, good beer selection and cosy decor makes this pub perfect for us. Glad it’s a local one :)

Really no reason for this wonderful pub to lose a star - not in my review anyway. We stopped by after a walk on the S Downs way and were bowled over by the quality of the welcome (we were late), the food (it was eye wateringly wonderful) and the beer (it was beer!).

Popped in here for a quiet drink and some lunch. We were blown away by this place! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the place itself had a real homely welcoming feel. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family. Thank you!

Really not what I was expecting from a mixed pub and restaurant - thought at best the food would be average, typical pub grub. I was very happily surprised at the obvious quality of the food! Had a roast and wow! The meat was perfectly cooked and evidentally an expensive quality, tasted absolutely gorgeous with the vegetables and the gravy was not too thick and not too thin. All seasoned perfectly, and not too salty which I find is common for pubs nowadays. Now the prices made a whole lot of sense, and really I would have easily paid a whole lot more if this quality of food was at a different establishment. I went with a relatively large group: myself, my parents and my grandparents, and we all shared the same views. We were served quickly and the lady who served us was attentive and incredibly friendly - despite it being quite busy, she never failed to keep an eye on us and kept our drinks topped up whilst keeping a lovely smiley appearance and a cheery demeanour. Pudding was heavenly! I admit I have a sweet tooth, but my goodness it was delicious! Perfect size as well. Other bits to add: the toilets are well presented and clean, the general look of the place is clean and homely, with a clear divide between the restaurant and bar, nice and warm which was great for my grandparents (we weren't even sitting by the fireplace), garden is a good size, well kept and must be lovely in the summer! We came to this pub on an off chance, after an establishment nearby was somewhat of a disappointment, but really I don't think we'll be going anywhere but here after such a brilliant experience! Thank you to the lovely landlady and compliments to the chef! We shall be back soon to sample more of your delicious food!

I moved into the area a few years ago and The Elsted Inn became my local for drinks and eating.
