The limeburners in Horsham

The food was fine but the atmosphere freezing! You need to light the fire. I had to keep my coat on. Lacks warmth. Other people commented too.

What a lovely weekend!! Stayed at the Limeburners this weekend for 2 nights with the family. Rob and his wife were very helpful and accommodating. Fantastic cozy pub with amazing food in a lovely setting and a brucy bonus of a fab campsite out the back, Perfect! We will definitely be back!

Stayed in the camping pod for one night which was clean and very spacious for a pod. The owners made us feel very welcome. We had dinner in the pub, service was quick and attentive, food was good. Very crispy chips! Nice atmosphere, candle-light and old-wolde charm.

Just returned from a 1 night stay on the campsite and had a great time. Very warm welcome from the landlord on arrival and showed us to our pitch for the night. Had a fantastic meal in the evening and staff friendly and good service. Food portions and quality were excellent. Pub has real character and oldie world charm. Campsite has everything you need for a couple of nights stay, showers, toilets, washing up areas etc, all kept clean and usable. Would have no issues with recommending and will return when we get the chance in future.

Absolutely vile owner. Like a petulant child if you write a bad review & hurls abuse at you instead of maybe looking at how he is going wrong. Believe every bad review on here as they are most certainly true. Tasteless food, rude service, more interested on being on their phones rather than giving an ounce of customer service & then they wonder why they have so many bad reviews. Can't wait for the inbox message I'll get after writing this! The man is a bully & I'd avoid this place at all costs!!!!

Lovely old pub, however bar staff on phones, young child running around bar area making a noise, food tasteless and no check back to see if OK! Very disappointing

It's OK for you to be rude to customers but when the shoe is on the other foot you do not like it . Change the attitude and you might have staff and be respected by staff and customers . Or change your career. You have been reported .

We stopped for a drink while out for a relaxing Sunday ride. For prettiness, we cannot fault the setting. It was lovely and sunny so we had our drink in the garden. The customer service however, leaves a lot to be desired. My partner didn't have his glasses with him, he asked the strength of the ales. The girl behind the bar, just pointed at the beer taps and said look. And turned her back on us. Great attitude I must say. We told her too. Went right over her head. Decided on a lager, sat in the garden then left. Won't be going back there ir recommending it

I already know that the landlord is going to reply by saying that I'm not welcome back, but it won't be necessary to blacklist me since we have no intention of returning. We stayed in the campsite and had a very poor stay. When we arrived we were told by the landlord we could not park on the grass - our pre booked pitch - because it would 'mess up the grass', even though it wasn't wet. So we had to park on the road. There are only three tiny shower rooms who's doors go directly to the outside, and you have to stand on a makeshift wooden crate that all the water splashes onto to dry yourself. They are cold and damp, and the radiators inside aren't on even in the early spring. The water runs on a meter, so you have to put in the correct amount of 20 pence pieces for how long you want to shower for, and the machine is not reliable at all and sometimes doesn't register when you put in coins. The pub service was awful, I'm sorry to say. We were left to decide what we wanted to eat and when the waitress came back to take our orders I was told that what I decided to have when I told her was not even on the menu anymore and the menu was outdated. Eventually I decided on what to eat but nothing on the menu appealed to me. My mum ordered a red pepper and mozzarella burger, but asked if it could be done without the mozzarella, and was told yes as it's all freshly made. When it arrived it was simply a slice of pepper in a burger bun. For £13.95. Not only that but it also came with mayonnaise in it, even though we expressly requested for it to be vegan to cater for my mum. The waitress - who is also the landlady - took it back but didn't seem to understand the phrase 'vegan'. It appears that the landlord, who also manages all of the campsite check-ins whilst running a pub all by himself is the chef. We wouldn't have left a review like this if he was a nice person but you can see just from all of the other reviews how rude a man he is, and although he was friendly when we checked in (after waiting for him to be free from whatever he was doing in the pub), we could sense after a few interactions that he has some underlying anger. Also, please learn how to spell before telling everybody that leaves a review pointing out the flaws in your campsite to go back to school.

Good food and plenty of it. Good service and value for money. Haven’t been to the Limeburners for years but will certainly be going back again soon.

Each year I start and finish a walk here with my dog and always call in for a drink. I politely park on the road. I asked if it was ok to come in with my dog. The woman behind the bar then was very impolite and I was directed to sit in a corner in a very rude way. Very unwelcoming because of the staff attitude. Shame because it’s a lovely pub otherwise.

Having read some of the reviews, we weren’t sure quite what we were in for 😂 But we were very impressed. Lovely food, service prompt and pleasant, and nice country setting

Rude landlord discusting behavior towards another family . Made too feel like they where nothing . He should not be in this profession . Customer service zero . Would not recommend this place to anyone .

Great little campsite, set in the Sussex countryside. Booking was really easy and Rob (Landlord) allocated us a couple of great pitches as we had large family tents. When we arrived on the Friday evening, Rob came straight out to greet us and showed us...

This pub has a lovely, cosy feeling to it and it has options for both indoor and outdoor seating which is great for sunny days. We visited to have a family lunch for Father’s Day and whilst the food was lovely and service good, unfortunately...

We joined another couple for lunch this week. Lovely pretty old pub, with plenty of room inside and outside. We chose 4 different meals all were excellent . My husband had the ham , egg and chips, he said the chips were the best he...

Lovely lunch. Enjoyed the menu's newly-introduced Lamb Shank very much. Busy place, obviously loved. Olde Worlde with lit candles, polished brass and a gorgeous log fire in the large inglenook fireplace. Staff attentive and welcoming. Will go again!

What a stunning pub in a stunning location - shame about the owner. Rude, unwelcoming and you are made to feel like he’s doing you a favour by letting you stay on his campsite. More concerned about the grass - you run a campsite, vans...

We got there on the tues around 12.30 and Rob showed us where to pull up which was great as we didn't want to be on grass as we had kids with us, pulled on the side of the road, spent weds at fishers farm...

Lime burners? More like the Limefreezer. Food was ok, packaged but very acceptable. We kept our coats and scarves on the whole time. Shame as this used to be a warm cosy pub.

Well went here today with my mother in-law and daughter. The food used to be amazing. Wish I could say that again. The roast chicken was not a roast. It was a chicken breast soggy new potatoes and rock hard roast potatoes. The staff were...

Booked a night at the campsite in advance. Called ahead on the day to advise on arrival time. A sign at the gate said to check in with the pub, but did not say anything about wheree to park vehicles in the meantime. Unfortunately we...

We booked to stay in the campsite which is ok. It was a wet and miserable November weekend so our plan was to spend Friday and Saturday in the pub. In we went armed with dominos and Uno. Service was excellent and the food has...

Very disappointed, having made a reservation and driven some distance, to turn up at The Limeburners last week and find it closed. No communication was received to inform us that the booking was no longer needed. We couldn't find anyone to ask about this so...

We had a lovely weekend away at the limeburners touring and camping site the staff in the pub were very friendly we will definitely be visiting them again

I was quite disappointed when i recently visited The Limeburners. After specifically searching for a family run pub, i thought the experience would be better than it was. I arrived earlier than my friends, so entered the pub to use the loos (we were sitting...

Well I was bit concerned about our visit here given some of the negative reviews but I needn't have worried. This is a charming old English pub. Despite being a busy Saturday lunchtime we were served promptly and courtesly, the food arrived quickly and was...

Great campsite at the back of the pub. Very clean toilet and showers. Amazing Olde Worlde pub. Very friendly staff. Landlord very friendly and manages the campsite well. Definitely recommend!

We called in to this pub having previously booked. We sat in the very pleasant bar/ food area and given menu’s having been served drinks. My wife and mother ordered the ‘Tokyo salmon, I ordered the rib. The food was delivered and looked okay. When...

Hi. I visited this pub twice in January, enjoyed the meals, and gave a very good review on Trip Adviser. I booked to go back on the 7th February, I requested a table by email, and got a confirmation back. Arrived to find the pub...

We called in on way home, with no booking ahead. They had a spare table for us and we were served swiftly. The burgers we had were delicious and there was some more interesting choices to have had, if we had had the time. Will...

Shame to see bad reviews. We had dinner here four weeks ago and again tonight. The food was excellent both times. Yes, there are the usual pub classics but the new items such as Tokyo Salmon was delicious. Friendly polite staff. Will definitely return again.

What with one thing and another, this was my first visit to The Limeburners since the new team have taken over. Popped in for a light lunch after a walk with my elderly mother. She wanted a St Clements to drink. Well that seemed to...

1st and probably the last time here. Food (3 x chicken roasts and wild mushroom pappardelle) was actually pretty good but the pub is let down by a manager(the landlady maybe) who gave us a very unfriendly welcome and seems unable to cope with a...

Looked so promising… first visit under new owners!! lovely waiting staff took our order, drinks were delivered to garden and Then. Very rude serving lady with short hair being rude to customers in front of us, waited over an hour for food and then when...

Met with friends as a halfway point. Friendly welcome, food was great. 22.00 bill was presented to us saying they were closing at 22.15. Very rude happy to take our money, we should of been advised when we first arrived of the closing time. Evening...

Pre-booked a table for two and immediately warmly welcomed on our arrival. The staff were just about as engaging as you could wish for and we were guided to a fabulous table right next to the woodburner which the Landlord loaded up with more logs...

First visit since chip left… no sign of Basil but food was fab if a tad pricey…Cajun chicken was great…very impressed

Thank you to Rob and staff at Limeburners pub and campsite. My family got together and had not seen some of them for 2 years. It was quiet well kept and relaxing. I intend to return myself and treat myself to a pod 😊 recommended...

I’ve read all the latest reviews concerning the new owner with some interest. We, like many have visited the Limeburners regularly over the years so remember how it was. We called in today for the first time in nearly 18 months for lunch with my...

This used to be a favourite place to visit but not anymore. The food is good but the wait was rather long and the pub was not that busy. It is difficult to replace a terrific landlord but it now has the opposite. Offhand, abrupt...

Stayed two nights at campsite behind pub great family site however a few things could do with improving The toilets and drainage were very smelly Only one sink to wash dishes Noisy group of campers until 1.30 am

For years, we regularly met for lunch at this favourite pub after a walk. Also we met for lunch there every month. The food was good and there was a cheerful friendly landlord who had been there for decades. But now, a new landlord is...

The Limeburners has been a well loved pub in this area and the previous landlord kept the pub for over 40 years I believe. The present landlord has found a very good cook and the Tempura prawns are delicious with a crisp, light batter. All...

we stayed this weekend- wonderful open space, so green; great pods-comfortable and well-equipped, unlikely several I've stayed in, excellent pub to hand with very helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth 5 stars!!!!!

It's flat, sheltered and has the necessary basics. nothing fancy but it's clean and the water pressure is amazing and the water is warm. It's a great base for exploring the area and the people are very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend.

Called in to the Limeburners last night about 8pm. The garden was busy as it was a lovely evening. The garden is very pretty and we sat under a large gazebo. Our drinks were ordered and we were given menus. One of our drinks was...

Although food was good, it is vastly overpriced. I.e a cup of instant coffee was £3.00. Prior to going I checked the food menu on the website and the one we were given at the table was completely different and more expensive

Lovely peaceful area, toilet and shower block could do with updating, lovely when the suns out, shame about the rain. The team that run it are very attentive and helpful, we will return.

My mum and I usually visit here for lunches when I visit hers and we always enjoy the food and the staff are normally lovely. We especially like it here because they normally allow dogs. We arrived today and went in to see if there...

Very pleasent country pub. We stayed at the camp site behind the pub. Food was excellent and staff were very pleasent. Very clean and tidy

The female waiting staff who served and greeted us were excellent and most accommodating and the setting is beautiful. Unfortunately the male management sullied the experience. On arrival we reserved a table before our dog walk. Despite the car park being empty having set off...

Nice weekend very peaceful site nice walk down to the lake lots of wildlife. Would recommend the Campsite manager very helpful

Amazing food I would absolutely recommend to anyone thinking of going! I would also like to thank the staff there, who were kind and friendly. 10/10 without a doubt!!

We just got a new camper so came with some friends to try out our van. We were welcomed by friendly staff, good pitches and the site is quiet with clean toilets and showers. All 4 of us had good meals in the pub. There’s...

We came across this wonderful pub/restaurant by chance and were not disappointed. It’s run by a very friendly and attentive couple and it was super busy on a Thursday evening which suggests many others have found this ‘hidden gem’ and keep coming back. The menu...

This is one of those gems that you long to find. Beautiful old English pub with excellent food and service. All staff very friendly and eager to please. Rob the owner was very helpful and polite. The pitches were large with country side surroundings. So...

Just got back from a couple of nights stay at the Limeburners campsite. Lovely campsite and speaking to the owner he has great plans going forward as facilities are a bit dated but perfectly functional. We ate both nights in the pub, the food is...

Limeburners camping. Beautifully kept site showers /toilets immaculate even during wet days owner Rob could not be more helpful. Can’t wait to go again

Ate in here tonight after reading reviews on here. It was a lovely little find! Really friendly and helpful staff & beautiful quaint little pub with good food. They have a lovely outside area to sit and eat as well as the inside which is...

I looked up online the main menu and see you do not cater for vegans and vegetarians which seems strange when there are so many vegetarians and vegan these days.

We have been twice in the last two weeks for lunch . The staff are charming , the safety measures are very good and the food and drinks are great

Had a nice pub lunch here with family but felt it was pub grub at restaurant prices - a little expensive for what it was. Quite a few members of staff around and initially attentive but once we had our drink and food we couldn't...

Having praised the owner of this pub previously, I booked a table for four on Friday 31st for 6.30pm on Saturday 1st August to sit inside the premises. On arrival around 5.15 to have a couple of drinks before dinner, we were greeted by one...

Our previous experience here about a year ago was not a good one but we had been told by neighbours that this is now under new management so we thought on this basis we’d give it a second chance. Upon first impressions I do have...

Previous owners were much better. Staff weren't very friendly, wrong dish was served, food took about an hour to be brought out. Shame as the setting and pub itself is lovely.

This popular pub with a caravan park beside it, serves average food and holds special events from time to time. Can get crowded at weekends. Fair amount of space for car parking, though many end up on the road.

We popped in here for an early lunch today having not eaten here before, we certainly weren’t disappointed. My friend had the vegetarian lasagne and I had the Cajun chicken burger which was absolutely delicious, I couldn’t eat all of the chips or French dressed...

Reading the glowing reviews, the experience of the reality was a let-down. Had to wait for ages; my ham, egg and chips, although decent ingredients, was not what I would have plated up; I'd prefer the ham separate from the onion relish (even though that...

Iv been twice in 8 days, never been there before but I must say wow! The food, never tasted anything like it, I had the trio of sausages, my husband had the Mexican burger, the second time I had the same again and my sister...

Diabolical! New Ownership no doubt. Saturday evening booking. On arrival the area was empty other than a few people and bar members enjoying a mingle. We were shown to the table by the front door where the wind flew through on every use. The table was shored up to the feature of the pub, an attractive hive shaped fireplace that was boarded up and with two baby chairs in the hearth. From our position you could see the doorway through the bar to the toilets and kitchen door. We watched the kitchen staff walk to the gentleman’s toilets on several occasions whilst cooking between 8-10. The lady of the house, not dressed appropriately to wait, made her second attempt (clearly made) to take our order. She asked me for my starter and when replied calamari, she immediately and without an apology stated “that’s off, can’t get the product, we’re changing our menus soon”. Therefore, we made the best of a short menu however, the camembert was overcooked, more cabbage than duck on the confit special, my sons chicken burger was flat torn and tasteless leaving it unappealing and over cooked. The rest of our party just got on with it, hardly worth the complaint to wait for a replacement if offered. During our meal, they started to restock the bar shelves bringing in bottles from outside. The experience reminded me of the service in the late 70’s. Most establishments today are attentive service, nice atmosphere, discreet and clean loos and more importantly, freshly presented cuisine. We will not be returning and would recommend you attend some courses in food and front of house service.

We were recommended this pub by the local Travelodge. Unfortunately the pub is not serving supper on Sunday nights during the winter. The food is of excellent quality. Not a huge menu but every dish ordered was spot on. Friendly service, lovely ambiance. Not a...

Lunch today in this pub with family after a visit to Fishers farm ,my husband and I made to feel very welcome with two young grandsons and their parents , the food was tasty and plentiful , my ploughman’s was tasty and more than sufficient...

We went as part of a group of 12 for a xmas meal, not using the Xmas menu. The reserved table was waiting despite the busy venue, and we were told to sit down so that they could take orders at the table. We were...

We ate here in the school holidays meeting some family for a Sunday lunch. The food was awful and the memory one which will stay with us for all the wrong reasons. Gammon and eggs not hard to do. The egg was like rubber and...

Qué encontrar. Una encantadora sensación tradicional pub, con la comida genial, el propietario amable y buena cerveza y sidra.
