The Limeburners in Horsham

Booked two days camping here based on the owners description of the attached pub and well presented site. Pub was closed, the site is horrible. Grass pitch too wet he said. Expected us to park on the road amongst work vans and grimey caravans. Shower and toilet facilities look gross. This place is not suitable for winter camping and looks nothing like the advertised photos or description. Didn't meet us as he said he would. Many similar reviews from other campers using Pitch Up and Trip Advisor. Since changed his description on Pitch Up.. Worth reading those reviews to see how he responds to feedback. Refusing a refund.

Not fit for winter camping & no pub open! We expected winter camping in Feb but this site is not suitable. Being offered to camp on a road doesn’t work instead of a hard standing pitch and overall the site was very dilapidated with poor facilities. The pub, which was the main selling point on the website, is not open. On the positive side we did find Sumners Pond campsite nearby which is excellent.

Campsite in Billighurst. Advertised as having a pub on site but it was closed. Not much yo do unless you travel. Facilities and cleaniness are just adequate for the price. At £40 a night it is very expensive.

Food Nothing special , pleasant staff

We ate a meal in the pub, the food was pretty good and the service was friendly and attentive. The selection is very wide and I was impressed by the food on offer. I would highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding and even the coffee was excellent.

A beautiful little pub with a lot of character and history, originally built in the 1600s. Good spot at the back for campers and glampers.

We had a really nice visit with our dog in the evening sitting. Really nice atmosphere being all candlelit, although it did strain my eyes a bit after a while. Food was of a good standard and we will definitely return

Lovely country pub with a lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent and served hot. Rob and his wife were very welcoming and very friendly.Couldn't fault anything. We stayed with our friends for two nights on the campsite which at first didn't look great but actually loved it and would recommend the site, food and location to anybody. Nice walk along the footpath into Billingshurst about 30 minutes, lovely small village with good coffee shops pubs and shops. Dog walk field adjacent for off lead walks.

Lovely pub with very friendly and helpful owners.

Nice little pub with big garden

Found this lovely pub on the way to Hove. Seating inside and out. Food was good. Quiet atmosphere and they had soft music playing.

Visited the campsite for my 2 weeks holiday. Everyone was cramed in, trees overgrown and hitting the caravan. Very poor entrance with potholes which we got told to avoid. 1 of the water taps was disgusting and dirty. Owners daughter would walk into our awning without being jnvited and took my sons bike, I had to go outside and tell her to give it back as she wouldn't when he asked. Toilets and showers not very nice. Wouldn't visit here again!

Service not great. The two behind the bar were constantly on there phones laughing at videos. I can only assume the child (6ish) was the owners child, running and making loads of noise in the bar area. As for the food, it was pretty tasteless to be frank. Nobody bothered to check to see if everything was alright during the meal which is very odd by today's standards. You'd think at a beautiful old place like this the owners would be a bit more concerned about customer service. Like most of their reviews also say, we won't be going back

Embarked on a culinary adventure to The Limeburners in Billingshurst with the in-laws. Opted for The Limeburners burger, which seemed to have embarked on a solo expedition through the Sahara – quite dry, but the cheese came to the rescue like a dairy superhero. Meanwhile, my fellow diners tackled the pie and Thai burger, perhaps in an attempt to experience cuisine from all corners of the globe. While the food was passable, I left with a sense that the local food scene might just be hiding its better gems elsewhere, like a masterful game of hide-and-seek. Cheers to potential gastronomic exploration beyond these walls

Went for a sarurday evening meal with my elderly parent's who found the lighting far too dim. Our table was very small for 4 people but the ambiance and setting was nice. Food was well cooked although 2 of the 4 drinks were wrong (bar error rather than server). Overall it was ok but with nothing particularly special on the menu, we're not planning to return.

First time we've been for a meal. The food was ok but definitely over priced, and the staff were unfriendly bordering on rude. They gave the impression that customers were an inconvenience Definitely room for improvement

Stayed on the campsite so I could walk into the pub.

Cute and quaint little pub, lovely pub staff. Food to die for price to portion size is fantastic 👌 😀

Stayed in a Pod on the camping site behind, can't rate room's as we only ate in the pub, but we had 5 meal's (2children's) and all of them we're excellent, would highly recommend based on our experience. Loved the age and feel of the place, friendly staff, couldn't ask for more really.

Cozy and friendly, good staff and a very nice pub/restaurant. Grass places to stand on, a few electric places, must be booked in advance. Would love to go there again, there is no Wi-Fi at the campsite, but free Wi-Fi inside the pub.

Amazing pub with campsite behind, friendly staff, good food, good drinks, highly recommend.

We had steak pie… the potato was from the packed mashed it was horrible. The vegetables was very good, the price should be only worth £7.50 because all the food was from the microwave heat up. But it look very on the plate went it come out.

I had a delicious meal this evening, steak pie, lovely chunks of meat, no fat at all in a rich gravy with perfect mash and veg cooked just right. Staff were lovely (shout out to Mae who is delightful), hard working and attentive . All staff were clearly very busy which is always a good sign and my meal did not disappoint. The pub is also fab, like stepping back in time, a proper old fashioned Inn, bags of character. I sat outside on the many benches to eat my meal. Can recommend 👌

Stayed in our camper van on site and had a lovely peaceful break. The food in the pub is excellent, definitely recommend a visit 😁

Traditional pub with beer garden, all day kitchen and summer camping. Not far from the Wey South footpath.

Weekend stop for 90th elsewhere. Adequate site, all facilities available, thought food was expensive for what it was. If I'm paying £16.50 for one course Sunday lunch I like proper roast potatoes. Pub has great atmosphere, drinks for us we're top end price wise.

Excellent starting point for our walk. Delicious lunch. Very friendly - made us welcome.

Heartwarming welcome. Good breakfast type.

pitches , site and services all brilliant and A lovely walk from the site

Great country pub .. Good food .. pet friendly and lovely outdoor garden space

Was recommended to this site, bit very disappointing, owner was welcoming, but otherwise very tatty, as you entered the first thing you are faced with is 2 very old and dirty caravans, obviously there permanently, the toilet were OK and didn't use the showers as you had to pay for them on top of the £40 a night, which was grossly over priced. We booked the pub for a meal with friends who live near by, there was about 5 starters 2 of which said they didn't have so unless you wanted fish there was nothing else, main meals were nice, desserts again were 4 choices, 2 which were unavailable so it was crumble or ice cream, this was a bank holiday so really should have prepared better, Sunday they didn't open allday, All in all very untidy, and very dirty around the fresh water tap, will not return.

Family lunch for 5. Food was excellent with good choice available. Atmosphere and location both very pleasant. Would certainly recommend this venue.

Not the warmest of welcomes, we also found a bit of plastic in the ice cream and not even an apology. Not as good as it used to be in previous hands. Friendlier pubs around

A serendipitous great find. Due to huge delays on M25 on my way to Brighton, I decided to change direction and go from scenic routes. Stopped at the Limeburners for break. A beautiful 400 year old pop that is well kept with pleasant staff and fast service.

Starters average, Mains very good. Despite staying on-site, it was a great shame and very disappointed to be informed the pub was being closed at 10pm, ON-THE-DOT, at the Easter weekend, even though the official hours were publicised as the usual 11pm! Literally told we had 8 minutes to drink the drinks we ordered at 9:52!!!! We were not rowdy, drunk or even slightly impolite... and we weren't even the last customers in the bar. What's that about?!!! I suppose the £130 we'd spent on food, camping and drinks was adequate and they didn't want any more - interesting way to run a hospitality business! Nice traditional pub otherwise.

Lovely ambience. Attentive staff. Gorgeous lamb shank!

Very old building with a great pub, good selection of high quality pub food served with a smile. Helpful and friendly staff, just mind your head on the low beams. This is not a hotel but it has a camp/ caravan site attached

Awful rude staff. On arrival, we were asked if we'd booked a table rather than a polite greeting or request for what we wanted. In fact, all we wanted was a drink. We were told there were no tables to sit at they were all booked for meals, and if we wanted to sit down, we'd have to go outside. Again, before asking us what we actually wanted. There were no tables in the pub other than for lunch, which was fine it was just the abrupt rude way in which we were quizzed on arrival. If it wasn't that we were thirsty having walked from Billingshurst, we would have just walked out.

Friendly owner, amazing food, very clean campsite. 👌

Very quaint cosy pub with nice staff, but ridiculously overpriced! £32 for 2 x ham, egg & chips ...2 slices of fatty, chewy ham, frozen chips and two eggs! Menu is not the same as website. Disappointing

A really lovely place. Terrific food so fresh. The chips were piping hot the sandwich was great full of ham and tomato. Highly recommend a visit.

Great food, great staff, great time

We had a lovely time camping in our motorhome and sampling the excellent cuisine and cocktails at the pub. Top service too. Thanks Rob and Trang, hope to be back soon

Really nice pub and food. (previous review) Well that's a shame, since the last review above, visited today and the lady taking our order couldn't understand that my wife wanted gluten free or what would need changing in the meals to make them g/f. when the food arrived it was pretty awful other than the green veg. its a shame as the pub is fantastic and previously the menus were 2/3rds gluten free. today just one dish marked as g/f.

Fantastic evening meal in a lovely old pub and a night in the motorhome in there camp site 😀

Excellent campsite and pub. Can only wish them the best for their future in these hard times.

Lunch was nice but a very small area indoors to have your dogs in & only 2 tables

We used the campsite. It is spacious and peaceful. Facilities are clean and well organised. Only there for a short time so didn't have chance to try the pub food.

Stayed on the campsite. Owner guided us to our pitch on arrival (grass with electric hookup) between some trees. Plenty of space between pitches. Quiet. Facilties were clean. We also had a meal in the pub. Lovely old pub, nice atmosphere (candles added to this), food was nice too and not overpriced. Would recommend.

It's cute, cosy and cheap. Has all the basic facilities and nice little pub full of character. Massive field for dogs or kids. Lovely flat pitches very spaced apart. Everything you need in a campsite minus a park for the kids which would have topped it to 5 star for me personally.

Lovely food and lovely surroundings.

Lovely country pub with good food.

Great food and good service. Lovely atmosphere. Lots of outdoor seating and smaller, cosy indoor area.

We had a great time. Camped 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The pitches and shower block were clean and maintained. The pub itself was brilliant aswell. The staff were fantastic and the food & drinks spot on aswell. We will most likely stay here again when we come back next year.

Good food, nice ale (although only one ale was on, so I was lucky it was one I liked) campsite was cool and amenities were good.

We had a weekends camping at Limeburners. Check in was painless and the site is small but not cramped. It was one of the quietest sites we'd ever been on without any need for an over-zealous evening policy. Only a couple of challenges - there was no hot water in the washrooms or washing up area without any apology or explanation for the whole weekend. Luckily the showers are electric. Service in the pub was painfully slow and they seemed to be completely overwhelmed by a relatively small amount of custom, but the food was OK. Some lovely walks in the area around the Wey & Arun canal.

Friendly service and tasty burger!

We have spent a few days staying in a Glamping Pod at the Limeburners. It’s in a stunning location, beautiful countryside all around, large site, lovely dog walks nearby along River Arun. Arundel, Parham House, Brighton and Worthing within easy reach. The Pod is really spacious, new and airy, sitting outside most evenings with a book and glass of wine. Rob the host is very friendly and tells us about nice walks etc to go to in the area. We are going to eat at the Pub on this our last evening. Would certainly return here. Thank you

Cute, small pub with friendly service, delicious food and a good selection of drinks. Very comfortable, we felt really comfortable. Nice campsite on a meadow behind, quiet and rural. There are showers, toilets and a scullery. Very nice and helpful boss. It's a shame we live so far away. Otherwise we would come back more often.

Great camp site and great food.

Perfect weekend in the Campervan, excellent hosts, pub does great food and ales, will be visiting again soon

Beautiful pub, gorgeous garden, friendly staff and tasty food. Would thoroughly recommend!

Lovely welcome from the ladies behind the bar. Our 2nd visit to this pub as it is halfway to meet up with our son and daughter in law. We had a superb meal in the garden on a lovely sunny Sunday what more could one ask for. Oh, one more point the toilets were spotlessly clean.

A realy nice meal and the staf were friendly and helpfull

mellow Campsite well maintained good pub too👍

Great menu. Great outdoor seating area, dog friendly. 5⭐️will be back!

Fantastic menu of traditional pub food and Korean inspired takes on it. Absolutely delicious! Camping was also spot on!

The pub looks nice, until you step inside ! Very tired looking and.....being a sunny Sunday lunchtime....very empty. Friendly staff and good food ( although a bit expensive compared to nearby pubs) but lacks any warmth or atmosphere. I dont think we'll rush back.

Excellent Sunday roast. Arrived very quickly, so we were suspicious. But it was delicious.

Really nice,clean and well laid out site,very quiet,toilets clean.id use it again.pub next door for a pint.serves food,but we didn't try.

Very disappointing, not been there for a while, handed a menu to be told only sandwiches available, ordered our sandwiches to be told they had run out of our choice meaning only 4 different choices were actually available, very expensive for the portion size, bar staff spoke very little english and could not understand what we were saying. Such a shame as this used to be such a lovely pub!!.

Very lovely site and pub most go back soon

This is a really lovely country pub with personal customer service. Well kept good choice of beer, lovely ales (other drinks available). Really good choice of food too, very tastey and good prices. Really nice polite and friendly staff helping to make the visit relaxed and pleasant. Nice location, just of the A272, hidden away almost and really worth stopping off at. Nice sized carpark for bikers and cars alike. On a fairly quiet road but cosy green gardens with ncie pub tables. Really lovely pub, looked after, clean and just nice!!

What a terrible place to go camping! Smelly facilities some in which you have to pay for! Very rude and abrupt staff, smells like the sewers! I wanted a break when I got back as it just wasn’t relaxing! Such a shame as it’s a beautiful area

Not impressed at all. Service non-existent and what’s the point of having a footnote on the menu for vegan food when they don’t offer any vegan choices. Only 2 vegetarian choices as well, very poor. Didn’t stay.

Fantastic little campsite. Beautifully mown green grass with stunning trees and countryside. Short walk from the river Arun where you can feel your all on your own surrounded by nature. There are lots of footpaths to do some circular walks from the campsite. Also the pub serves really nice food

Nice menu, lovely staff, quaint pub , good food. Good lunchtime meal

Stopped for lunch. Nice beer but baguette was overpriced for what was served up. Service average, wasn't made to feel particularly welcome.

Popped in after a morning at Ford Market, sat in the garden. Absolutely horrified what I saw, the kitchen had their door open and we could see inside, the person serving the food was using their hands, going from meat to salad, we could see everything, picking up meat putting it on plates, then veg onto plants etc, totally disgusting, will never eat there, a d the plates were taken past the wash up area, we sat and watched in horror.

Unfortunately no beer available yet food was good service was very good

Really lovely old pub serving fantastic food at very reasonable prices

Had a really great meal here and parked our Kombi there overnight. Facilities were clean, staff great, location fairly peaceful.

Was OK, menu not great. Was a lively little pub all the years we used to come here but after exchange of owners after our last visit the menu was really basic, they have git rid of the play area for kids and also when we went at the weekend they had to come out and ask us what we had paid for and what was on the tab which I thought was irresponsible and basic if im honest as I should know wagtavwas going on. Also our roast came out after literally 3-4mins after ordering and I'm bit being funny and I nbwo a roast is ready prepared but bitters dry and like a cheap micro meal which i did not appreciate even if the bits were cooked before ordering which I understand is a must with a roast but it came far too quick for my liking.

Absolutely awful - gang of kids ran riot on site - playing cricket and football amongst the caravans and tents with nobody monitoring them (i.e. site manager?) or even their parents. Would not come here again ruined it for us and our friends went home a day early!!!

Four of us popped into today last minute for lunch. We were given a warm welcome and promptly attended to. Drinks ordered and received quickly, followed by our food ordered. Again the food arrived in very good time and what a treat with homemade steak and ale pie for all of us. Freshly cooked, hot and extremely tasty along with a good array of fresh vegetables. The sweet was also a real treat with apple and blackberry crumble with custard. That was us full and satisfied. Despite us arriving quite late and not far off the closing time, we still had a warm welcome and unrushed service. Thoroughly recommend a visit for quality food at fair prices.

Visited on Mothers Day, food excellent as was service, must single out a senior lady who was very friendly to each and every table….always enjoy eating here

They are a great place to eat and drink.

Great atmosphere only beaten by service and food

Really nice recomend give it a try

Stayed in the campsite lovy clean facilities the staff were very friendly and helpful highly recomend there are lots of lovely walks

This used to be a great pub. It is now merely a restaurant. If you want the pub experience choose somewhere else. I find it a great shame when this happens. In former lives this was a great local pub which also did great food. The lady who served us, I took to be one of the owners, was very full of herself despite there were only 3 groups of customers on a Friday night. 3 stars for pretty good meal, maybe I should make it 2 because they only had one beer on tap

Great food and friendly service

Superb food, really friendly staff, what more could you ask for! Nice garden for the summer and inside is very quaint, especially with the logburner going.

Food was very nice but, in my opinion a bit overpriced. Took a while to be brought our first drinks but service was good

Just had a lovely lunch at the Limeburners. Food excellent, beer superb, and our waitress was lovely....rushed off her feet but superb with everyone, and especially our dog. This is a proper pub, we need to frequent them to keep them going. Be back again soon.

A traditional English pub in a beautiful location. Great beer and fantastic food. Spent a lovely evening there with friends who live nearby. The staff made us feel very welcome. Definitely we'll visit again in the future.

We went in for a quick drink. Lovely atmosphere, but rather on the pricey side.

Lovely atmosphere, really good food, not expensive, very pleasant staff, dog friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed food and drinks, together with the atmosphere.

... disappointing experience...on arrival were given menus by pleasant and courteous young staff ...were told no chips or fried food...fair enough ...it happens... ordered panini ...no panini...ordered ciabatta...no ciabatta...told brown or white bread only options...fair enough...asked if my bread could be toasted...response from kitchen was no... one of our group ordered a beef sandwich ...it looked pretty good...five ordered tuna sandwiches...never in my entire life have I seen so little tuna in a sandwich ...mean, dry and pretty miserable...still charged full price as if we'd had chips...off day in kitchen perhaps ...will not be rushing back ...
