The Half Moon Pub in Lewes

Looking at the website of the Half Moon the menu looks good - more gastro-pub; however the reality is different. We were a party of eight and our lunch-time meal of two courses took 2.5 hours due to slow service. Also, with respect to service, on arrival the barmaid only served us seven drinks for eight people who had all ordered drinks. My glass of Rioja was £7.60 which seemed excessive. There was no sea-bass available, so I took the substitute of salmon which proved to be a small portion for which the charge was £18! Also, for all eight of us the main course was not hot enough. I had a cheesecake desert but it had little resemblance to a cheesecake and the honeycomb stick was so hard I risked breaking a tooth on it.

Eight of us visited for lunch after a walk. We were early but were given the choice of outside or inside and we ordered drinks and our food. Then we waited, and waited. Asked twice if we wanted more drinks, but food took ages. When it arrived it was a mixed bag - very small fillet of overpriced and overcooked salmon and green beans, cold potatoes and rice. The fish and chips however was enormous, pronounced delicious and good value. Puddings, when they eventually arrived after another very long wait, were better, although a raspberry torte turned out to be chocolate and had to be sent back as the recipient unable to eat chocolate. No mention of chocolate on the menu, or any other allergy or dietary advice. Eton mess was delicious even with raspberries replacing strawberries. To sum up, the food was adequate but could have been better, service was extremely slow but the staff were pleasant. To be fair, none of us complained at the time, because we were in a party and none of us wanted to further delay proceedings by sending food back.

This was the second time we visited this pub for a Sunday lunch. The menu choices were rather small, apart from the roasts there were only two mains available. Four of us were dining, two had the beef and a lamb roast, I had the nut roast and the fourth person the crab. All were really not good. My nut roast was cold when arrived, it was also dry and roast potato was stale, there was a tomato sauce all over, it was tasteless. The other roast were also not nice and portions were small. The service was ok, could have been better. Overall very disappointing experience, they should do it much better. We are not planning to return.

Myself, my wife and 3 kids visited here from the local campsite at Blackberry Woods (about a 45 min walk away) and had a really nice meal. The staff were all very helpful and the food was great. The kids were shattered and couldn’t manage the walk back but it was really tricky to order a taxi (order in advance) and there were 5 of us which made it even harder. The landlady brilliantly volunteered to drive my wife back to pick up our car and drive back which was above and beyond the call of duty. Really grateful, would definitely recommend.

Great lunch and really welcoming! We were riding the South Downs Way on electric bikes and called ahead to check if they would allow us to charge our batteries. On arrival we sat in the garden area and enjoyed a delicious lunch and lovely beer. Nothing was too much trouble and they kindly let us plug in for charge! Highly recommended.

Been to the half moon for lunch plenty of times and never been disappointed, I wanted to mention Drew in particular, he works at the hut bar in the garden area and served me the best Aperol Spritzer I've ever had. He also was was so nice to talk to and excellent customer service, well done Drew, you made my day today!

Great little country pub with a massive beer garden, complete with playground, orchard, chickens, football pitch, decrepit tractors and beer/ice cream hut. Ask Drew in the hut for the black coconut ice cream - it’s incredible and you’re sure to get a sunny smile in return!

Popular pub which we visited with friends on a Saturday evening . Worth booking in advance in the current COVID climate as it was extremely busy. Good real ales , excellent service and a varied menu.

Fabulous meal with friends, our first since coming out of lockdown and being allowed to eat inside. 3 ate delicious sea bass- all dietary requirements were happily accommodated the other 2 ordered veggie burger ( very good ) and risotto which was excellent.Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful, I would highly recommend a visit!

Lovely lunch at the half moon to celebrate reopening. Great staff, very welcoming. Husband had Brie ploughman’s. I had pie of the day (chicken, leek and mustard) with mash and mangetout. Both excellent. Very sentimental as the last place we had a meal with friends before lockdown such a long time ago now. It’s such a lovely chilled atmosphere but with proper quality pub food. I think you can tell the quality of a place by its olives, and these are large buttery and delicious.

I love this pub. First time back since lockdown. Menu changed a bit and was really happy with chickpea and beetroot burger with onion rings. Teenage kids had good old fish and chips while their dad had the ‘slimline’ option of crayfish salad main (lockdown having taken its toll on his waistline) only to ruin it with yummy chocolate desert. I loved my lemon tart. Portions great. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Laid back but efficient as always - adapted amazingly to current situation. Would fully recommend.

Lovely to be back here. Lunch today in the wind-sheltered sun trap rear garden. Fantastic beef ploughman's and gorgeous chips, accompanied by two great real ales. Lovely welcome as always by the boss, who fitted us in neatly during a very busy period. Looking forward to being in the pub again later this month.

I wanted to treat my sister to a special 40th birthday meal. We’ve been to the Halfmoon a few times over the years and im frequently hearing good things about it. The outdoor area is great. A lovely marquee, or if you want to sit in the sun, there’s an outdoor bar and a play area for the children. I can’t fault the service or the food. Both were perfect. Looking forward to returning!

Lovely pub and a change from Brighton. lovely marquee to sit under outside and with heating too. Food very good. Service very prompt. Staff really friendly. It’s a hidden gem

After a very enjoyable walk over the downs we went to the Half Moon pub for lunch which is situated in a very pleasant position at the foot of the downs. We ordered sandwiches and a bowl of chips, the sandwiches were very mediocre and the chips were soggy. The bacon sandwich was tough as though it had been sitting around a while. It was a great shame as the staff were very pleasant and the manageress did deduct the cost of the chips off our bill.

On arrival we had drinks in the Garden (incredibly overpriced) £10 for an Aperol Spritz which was not made correctly and the presentation was abhorrent dont charge premium prices for poor quality and presentation. Fast forward to the meal the Beef was raw, bloody and tough not to mention the 45 min wait between our starters and main course. During the wait for our mains we could clearing hear the manger screaming at her staff. She lacked basic courtesy and greeting skills as when we arrived she seemed put out by our request for a table despite calling ahead and being told tables were not reservable. Staff were not distinguished from guests as they walk round in track suits. Toilets were filthy just like their cutlery. With this in mind we were offered a complimentary meal for the raw beef.

Almost empty pub close to last orders for lunch and shown to a miserable table right be the staff entrance to the bar, meanwhile 3-4 tables by the fire all empty and no chance of filling. Solo diner seen as expendable and allocated back-end seating. Had a pint outside and b*ggered off.

Lockdown 2.0 takeaway - please support your local pub during lockdown- fabulous menu inc desserts and drinks- burgers were delicious as was the chicken and leek pie and the fish and chips (thrice cooked I think mmmm) were the best I’ve had xxxx

Visited whilst on holiday & were lucky enough to attend their reopening night after lockdown. Meal was really classy, a wonderful surprise given we expected a standard gastro-pub! All 3 courses that we had were delicious and staff were really attentive. Would definitely come back if Im in the area again!

After a day walking across the Downs, the four of us were looking forward to a beer and a hearty meal at The Half Moon. It was a lovely pub, very clean and tastefully decorated. The staff were very polite and attentive. The beer selection was good, though could have used a dark ale or stout, especially at this time of the year. Our only gripe was the size of the portions; in that respect, it wasn't very good value for money at all.

Called in for a meal, having not visited this pub for about forty years. We both ordered fish and chips and I can honestly say it was the best example of this dish we’ve had in a very long time. Well cooked with a huge portion of lovely fresh battered cod and accompanied by excellent chips, mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. Apparently they have a new chef and only reopened a week ago, with every care taken to adhere to the new COVID regulations. I don’t know what it was like before the shutdown, but can thoroughly recommend its new incarnation. Well done!

Great pub, nice stop for walkers. I had the 5th best sandwich I’d ever had and it was much appreciated.

Delicious meal for The Half Moon’s re opening after 6 months in lockdown - new chef, new owners, same fabulous landlady we had salt and pepper squid to start with squid ink aoli and just the right amount of ‘bite’ in the flavouring. We wanted a light bite so went for the herb crusted hake with poached pear & Parmentier potatoes - all delicious flavours together but delicate- perfectly and unusually matched - washed down with local rosé from Ashdown

We dined this evening and the food was incredible. I had beef brisket and my partner had the pork tenderloin. Service was good and the Covid safety measures make you feel safe.

Six of us came here for Sunday lunch. It was very busy and so quite noisy. The front of house staff members were all brilliant. Given the number of diners in the pub I was astonished at how fast the service was. Bream and red mullet were beautifully cooked. Chips were chunky and flavoursome. Salad was a bit mushy. Vegetable and nut roast was okay. The Yorkshire puddings were quite the worst I have ever encountered. The looked well risen, but they were chewy hollow shells. Good beer.

I reviewed the Half Moon a few months back after my first visit with my elderly mum and am delighted to do so again to report that the delicious food wasn't one off! The welcome was superb and we felt very " looked after " to the extent that the lovely owner ( sorry I can't remember his name but he was Italian ) stayed with my mum whilst I drove the car to an easier access point for her .As usual I chose the fish and chips as I rarely eat it at home and the batter and fish where superb. The pome granite and tangerine sorbet was lovely and a generous portion . Thankyou, we will be back

Gorgeous pub located at the foot of the downs, a must stop if your walking through the area and also a favourite spot for food or drink for the the locals, fantastic warm welcome every time we come here, some fantastic artwork on display as well!, the food is lovely with traditional pub food as well as some lovely fish dishes, could not recommend this place highly enough!! Oh and make sure you buy some of Savino’s exclusive olive oil available here too, it’s delicious .,

Came to the half moon after not being for many months and it was even better than I remembered. The standard of good and service is very good. I ordered the sea bream, which was perfection and my friend had the vegan option, which she very much enjoyed. Keep up the good work as I hope to be back again soon.

Another delicious meal at The Half Moon. My burger was yummy and my wife's fish looked good from where I was sitting (I wasnt allowed to taste it).

Excellent Sunday lunch today. Very accommodating for a couple of muddy dogs! Service was very good even though it was very busy.

Chose this pub to have my birthday lunch at with my three sons and daughters in law. We have been visiting The Half Moon for drinks since moving to Plumpton very recently and always wanted to have a meal there . The food was amazing and just as fantastic as we thought it would be , and family thought so too and nothing was too much trouble for the team ..which made this a very special birthday lunch... Great food with excellent service - thank you Daryl and Brian

Great food, great staff. Went there for Xmas Dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us and our toddler! We will be back for more.

Lovely setting, lovely pub, friendly service, seems like I'm in the minority, but very disappointed with quality of the food today. I only asked for the local pie, which was so bland and tasteless, and the vegetables very undercooked. I would not bother returning. I hope others find it more to their expectations.

Really enjoyed this pub, served amazing food and the service was really warm and genuine - made me and my partner feel comfortable.

Good parking and a lovely country setting. Child and dog friendly. Service was attentive. The interior has a terrific old English feel and two fires kept us nice and warm. I had a rib eye and it was tasty. Overall, our party rated the meals as average. Would I visit again? You bet!

Had a lovely meal at the half moon pub, had a table right by the fire and the food was out of this world from starter to dessert and very fair priced too and service was great too. Will definitely go back again.

Went to lunch at the Half Moon in Plumpton with three friends yesterday had a lovely meal Braised Lamb which was well cooked and really tasty, the staff were pleased to see you and all of us had a great meal will definitely be back

The bar staff couldn’t be unfriendlier today. Not the first time and not always unfriendly. But today was a star performance.

I took my 91 year old mum to the Half Moon for lunch following good reviews on trip advisor. We were not disappointed and it exceeded our expectations. It was busy(lots of families dining ) and we were lucky to get a table.

Visited yesterday evening after a parent meeting at Plumpton College. I had fish of the day (sea bream) and my wife the vegetable crumble. Both dishes were very nicely presented and tasted really good. Great food, friendly service and good value.

We live in Northampton with our son & daughter in law in Brighton. The weekend of 28/29th September we came for one of our regular visits. The Half Moon Inn is a regular for our son & daughter in law and on one of our previous visits we had called in for a drink. They decided this time to book for Sunday lunch for our visit. Our daughter in law phoned and her telephone number was taken. We turned up looking forward to our Sunday lunch only to find a large board saying closed due to no power. Why bother taking customers phone numbers if you are not going to let people know there is a problem? How many other people were like us disappointed that Sunday. Luckily we were able to find somewhere else to eat, not easy at 2.15 on a Sunday. We did check with our daughter in law to see if she has had an apology since but no. I’m afraid you have lost 2 regular customers and visiting family as customers.

Child friendly, lovely play park. Delicious food and beers. Friendly staff. Would recommend any fish dishes and the burger. Garden on different levels with a snack shack in the highest garden.

Plenty for the kids to do with a large play area and an chest full of toys. Snacks and bar available in the garden. We stayed at a nearby campsite, great for food and drinks and the manager even gave us a lift home! Highly recommended.

Great pub/restaraunt in Plumpton, Esst Sussex. Plenty of srating both indoors and outdoors. Very good menu choice and very good value. Stsff snd servuce vrry good. Dog friendly also. Plenty of car psrking available.

First time at this pub. Had a table booked for 8.30pm, we were told when booking that we must not be late as last orders are 8.50!! When we arrived on time we were put on a table in a side room away from most of the diners, no atmosphere but right by the toilets when there were other tables available.

The welcome, the garden, the service and the food were all excellent and good value for money Either eat in or out would be just fine

We booked a table for 12 here and walked from nearby BlackBerry Wood campsite (leave an hour to do this walk! Lovely but tricky route!). They accommodated the large number of us really well and were careful and understanding of a member of our party’s food allergy.

This is a lovely area to walk in and this is a lovely dog friendly pub for lunch. Really nice outside space, divided between a courtyard next to the pub (chairs with backs a nice change to picnic benches!) and a separate grass area with children's play equipment. The food was presented nicely and tasted great, we went for lamb & onion bhaji burger (£12.50). Possibly not the place for a cheap snack as the panini's seemed a little expensive at £9 but I suspect were very good, based on what we had, and came with chips. Very friendly welcome from lots of staff.

We decided to eat Saturday lunch here on a whim while walking in the area. The building is an unassuming one - but the rear garden is a delight. Lovely of parking too!

For the life of me I cannot remember the 3x ladies names that sorted us out when we were at a drunken loss, but these may have been the most helpful, kind and trustworthy staff I've ever experienced. We were there the afternoon Saturday 10th Aug, had an incredible pub dinner. Beautiful views and a lovely pub atmosphere. 5 stars

We turned up (10 of us, including 4 kids plus 2 dogs) with no booking about 1240 on a summer Saturday after a very windy, but marvellous walk on the Downs. The pub was full but we would have sat outside (wind or not) as we were tired and hungry. However, the owner/manager/MD offered to open their private dining room for us. It was a spacious, nicely decorated room in a separate building across the outside dining area. I half expected that, as they were very busy and in a separate room that we might have to wait a while for service, but nothing could have been be further from the truth. They brought water (and treats for the dogs) immediately and took our drinks orders and let us choose from the menus. There is a kids’ menu with good portion sizes and dessert included. The main menu had options for all from ciabattas to steaks and 2 choices of fish of the day.

We stopped for lunch on spec having driven past numerous times. We’ll be stopping again. Good menu for vegetarians and omnivores, wide range of beers and great service.

I went to this pub for lunch last Sunday for a friend's 40th birthday celebration. There was a group of 9 adults and 5 children (aged between 5 - 10). As we walked through the pub garden from the handy car park we were greeted with the smiles and friendly, informal and welcoming faces of the staff who directed us through to our table/s. The kids were all seated together which they loved. The person who served us was brilliant. He was very good with the children who really enjoyed ordering themselves. He was attentive and informative about the food choices. We had vegetarians and vegans in the group and all were well catered for. I had the pork roast which was delicious. The crackling was baked in with the meat and was very tasty. The accompanying potatoes, green veg and gravy were really good too. I'd highly recommend. Great setting, great service, great food. The puddings looked lovely too. Some in our group had the strawberry mouse which I'd never have chosen but I stole some and it was very tasty. I also thought it was very reasonably priced. The kids loved the playground too.

Whilst they say they are opened until 23:00, we arrived there with few drinks and wanted to eat but because it was 3 minutes after 9pm, they could not be asked to serve food. This is the “can’t be asked” pub clearly.

Langs ons wandeltraject kwamen we deze pub tegen. We zijn er iets gaan drinken en een hapje gaan eten. Aangenaam terras achteraan zodat men niet langs de drukke straat moet zitten.

Had the best time ever the kids had fun playing in the field the food was fab The staff were great VERY enjoyable time had by all

my mum and myself visited at a sunny lunch time, we sat inside but by the patio doors which was open providing a lovely breeze and chilled atmosphere, all the waiting staff where very attentive, happy and cheerful! The landlady was the friendliest person I’ve ever met approachable, very helpful to everyone that walked in. The garden patio was kept well, tidy with lots flowers and plants. Now the food was unbelievable plenty of choice without being overwhelming. We had starters, mains and pudding, just couldn’t say no it’s all sounded so tasty and it definitely was!! (Unfortunately I ate my dessert before taking a picture as it was soooo good) Would recommend to anyone in the area or to make the trip. We felt very relaxed after we definitely plan on returning with friends soon!

Lovely country pub, with a big garden at the bottom of Plumpton Bostall/South Downs way. Tried the new chicken dish this evening, can definitely recommend.

Great food and amazing selection of beers. Eat in or out. And they now do pizzas at the weekends from their snack bar all prepared by a real Italian!

Beautiful setting for an evening meal in the sunshine. Lovely friendly staff, great play area for kids,lots of parking and the best fish and chips I have had in a long time!

This is a lovely pub to sit outside and enjoy a summer evening. The service was very good and we got a lovely warm welcome. I had the vegetarian option which was very filling and very tasty. They have a great area for families and a snack shack option which is great for the kids. I am planning a walk over from Lewes for lunch next time.

Some friends and I just had a bday meal here yesterday, I have never written a review before but felt compelled too as it was such a fabulous experience. The service was friendly and chatty yet professional, the food was incredible and as a vegetarian my needs were met well and with a smile, it is a beautiful setting and venue, cannot fault it.

I saw this pub on line and made a provisional booking with a very nice young lady yesterday for ten people in August. Thank goodness we visited it to check it out today. The lady who seemed to be in charge was quite rude, unhelpful and had a take it or leave it attitude when mentioning that on Bank Holidays it's a limited menu and two sittings 12-2pm and you have to be out by 2 (her words) or 2-6pm. We were shown a private dining building which was a locked up shed and to be honest the place is quite shabby which is also the case for the children's area. I have no idea what the food is like and have no intention of finding out. I would not recommend this place if I was starving, mainly due to her attitude.

Just the other side of Lewis you will find the Half Moon Pub & Restaurant, proper home cooked food with vegetables not out of a packet,Beef excellent flavour with home made baked potatoes followed by delicious ice cream and sorbet! Family,Children & Dog friendly! The service from the staff was outstanding nothing to much trouble! Ample parking! A must to return Thank you all so much for a lovely afternoon

We had a lovely lunch here. There were 11 of us in total. Adults and kids. We pre-booked which is advisable. We chose to sit outside but they reserved a table inside as the weather looked a bit dodgy. The staff were brilliant. Quick with drinks orders. The kids menu was very good, bangers and mash was a hit! I personally thought the main menu was more than adequate. Too much choice and it gets tricky to choose but previous reviewers expected more. The food was amazing!!!! I had the lamb burger which gets 10/10 from me. There is a big play area for the kids with a snack shack serving ice cream/alcohol/coffee etc.

Visited with a friend as we wanted to eat at a country pub with garden. Very friendly Italian waiter greeted us on arrival and orders for drinks and food were taken promptly. Not much choice for the vegetarian so I opted for the veggie burger as didn’t fancy Poached Goose egg - the only 2 main veggie options. Burger was filling but lacked flavour. Peanut butter cheesecake was better!

Visited with friends on a Saturday evening and we all enjoyed our visit. Good selection of ales, nice food and friendly staff. Very popular pub especially in the summer with a big garden and outside seating.

Really nice food and very friendly staff. Along with being dog friendly, makes for an enjoyable night out .

We came here for a Sunday Lunch the roast beef was so chewy that we had to leave it. The entree was lovely.

We stopped here for lunch while we were camping nearby. Food was excellent. There was a toy box which had 2 (yes 2) Buzz Lightyears for our son to play with. Great garden, great views, great service.

The last reviewer before this must have been unlucky. We found the staff very welcoming and attentive. The food is very varied and delicious. Plenty of parking and lots of outside sitting space. Great for a warm spring day.

Beautiful pub at the foot of the South Downs. Ideal for walkers, you would think? Not so, we popped in with friends for a swifter after a long trek. Our boots weren’t muddy (a sign requests muddy boots to be removed). The (I assume) manageress was brusque and unfriendly and the staff unsmiling. We felt unwelcome and won’t bother returning.

What great place food and service first class staff are excellent and food great value for money

I recently had lunch with friends at the Half Moon and was surprised at the welcome we received. Efficient , friendly service by a knowledgeable staff.

Have just had a fabulous lunch with friends at this country pub. The log fires were lite which I find very welcoming.. the staff were very friendly and accommodating.. food was exceptional! Will definitely re visit

I visited the Half Moon Pub in Plumpton recently and had an exceptional evening.

On a quiet Monday evening four of us each had a really lovely meal with some interesting and unusual choices on the menu. The nibbles were excellent too with beautiful green olives brought in from the Italian owner’s home in Italy.

A massive thank you to the whole team at the Half Moon Pub for the best valentines dinner we’ve had as a couple in 11 years. The food and drink were perfect and the service friendly and welcoming. Very fair value for money too.

Went for Sunday lunch this week and loved the vibe of this quintessentially English pub. Love a good roast and ordered the beef which melted in the mouth, however my judgement of a good pub roast is the roast potatoes and these were very disappointing as was the dessert - cheesecake the base was not crunchy as you would expect in fact quite the opposite. My other half had the seabass and very much enjoyed it, but another of our party had the tempura vegetables and the batter was undercooked. I'm not sure if they were overly busy, but would not necessarily hurry back.

Found this place with Mum and have gone once or twice a year since. Friendly staff authentic food and drink and beautiful surrounding environment. The only droll is that the staff will not serve food in the play-area (you can take your food and drinks up there) but their is a café with limited options.

Tremendous pub for a pint whilst passing or a really varied food menu. Fun and friendly staff. 10 out of 10 for everything. Wish I live closer to this place!

Found this place by chance on our way from the races at Plumpton and were not disappointed in the service and the beer! We enjoyed it so much we decided to return to try the restaurant the next evening for dinner. A group of 4, we each had different meals which were freshly cooked and tasty. Much recommended.

The overall experience was pleasant. The staff are very polite and ottentive. We went for two starters to share and they were lovely locally sourced “ pheasant croquets” and “home made pittas with hummus” both were outstanding.

What an amazing pub ! The hospitality was out of this world and the food was to die for ! Plus they are dog friendly .

The Half Moon Pub is a favourite of mine, on my last visit it was my birthday and they made me feel so special. The food is to die for and is served to a very high standard. The staff are so polite and helpful and tended to all my needs. The landlady was adorable. The only place to celebrate my birthday. This public House is definitely worth 5 stars

Taking lunch on a cold February Saturday is not always easy if the age range of the party is 25-95 but the Half Moon catered so well for us. Atttentive, helpful staff and a good range of food from a menu that had both good pub staples and more exotic fare. Recommended.

Walking from Lewes to Burgess Hill along the South Downs to Jack and Jill is one of life’s simple pleasures.

Come here often with friends as love the cosy feel in winter and gorge garden in summer. I am vegan and know that they are usually super accommodating!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat with my son. Friendliest staff, great food, warm environment. Would recommend to anyone in the Plumpton area. Thanks to Mel and her team. Cheers!

A very quaint and idyllic pub, friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. Recommended by the campsite we are staying at. The staff were attentive and very helpful. Offering matches when asked if they sold them.

Booked a table at 11:30 for 13:00, for 5 people and a good job we did as it was very busy and it is easy to see why. Good village gastro-pub, friendly service, dog friendly and good menu with wide range of drinks. We had two burgers, two sea bass and one blade of beef with some halloumi fries to share. Food was great, particularly my pork and apple burger with well cooked chunky chips. Very filling so we didn't try the puddings but had some nice coffees. Looking forward to coming here again.

After visiting the Half Moon last year for evening dinner, we thought it would be nice to meet there again for lunch as it it’s about half for people to meet. It was als nice to have my son with us and his new engaged fiancée, he is home on leave from the British Army and they travels over from the Isle of Wight.

Mel is such a warm hostess in this fantastic local gastro pub. Went for a family meal last night and we all had great food. The air dried ham and salami for starter is exquisite. I had my once or twice a year rump steak and it was totally satisfying- soft and succulent ! My daughter finds it hard to stray from her favourite ‘half moon pie’ served with broccoli and fries - “delicious”, she declared!

Could not have had a better lunch or service. I had sea bass which was a good as any top restaurant could serve. Superb!

When I visit a pub, I find it hard to decide what I want on the menu. I find it hard not to order every meal on the menu!! Great drinks & excellent staff, will defiantly be back again!

We were in the area visiting friends for the weekend and had Sunday lunch here before our drive home.

We visited The Half Moon during a circular walk we were undertaking. Both the welcome and the service we received was superb. We both had fish and chips with minted mushy peas. And we felt that they were the best we have had for a very long time. Well done chef and the team at the Half Moon.

Situated roughly halfway between Pyecombe and Kingston, this is a good lunch stop, though it's a bit of a descent/ascent off the path. Very welcoming and friendly staff, reasonable selection of food, beer and wines. Sat in the bar, slightly dark but comfortable. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Tasty chicken and leek pie. Recommended

The staff at the Half moon are the best. We popped in on a chilly October Saturday with my friends mother. The staff took excellent care of us and the service was second to none. We had food and beers and I am happy to say that our food was so good and excellent service. I would highly recommend this venue.

Although busy and nearly sold out of roasts the staff were incredibly helpful with dietary requirements and general questions. They were friendly, approachable and always willing to help. The food was incredible, there was various vegan and vegetarian options which staff were happy to explain. The chips were huge well cooked and delicious. Will definitely be coming again.
