The Partridge in Horsham

Popped in for lunch, quite a wide choice on menu, had really tasty toad in the hole with good service at a reasonable price. Proper village pub

I visited for the first time just to watch the football on TV. Bought a to hug while I watched the first half and a modest half of shandy and packet of crisps for the second half. My point is that I dodn't buy much, but felt welcomed by the bar lady and the landlord even though the pub was mostly regulars spending much more. I'll return another time to try the food menu.

Thank u for making us feel so welcome today. We enjoyed our meal and drinks. We will visit again. Service excellent. Thank u.

Splendid quintessential English pud with fantastic service and very good food at very reasonable prices. Even on Sundays you are spoilt for choice whereas many pubs only offer roasts whereas here you can have a choice of roasts or choose something from the regular menu. Food portions are great, presentation and value reall good and the food is fresh and tasty. Highly recommended after a country walk in the area.

Been here a few times, it's the most local pub near me. However, every time I enter this pub theres always something going wrong. Came here with my other half and was spoken rudely to by the old man who works with the (usually) lovely family who run the place. After being yelled at he continued to talk about me and my partner for about 30 more minutes before I was fed up and left. Did not enjoy this experience and a few others I've had at this place.

Good local pub, wine was OK, basic food, good service. Pleasant pub garden. Good on covid protection.

We had a lovely meal for 15 here after our daughter’s wedding ceremony. Sarah and her staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful, from decorating the table to presenting the wedding cake. They helped make the day special, despite the inclement weather and COVID restrictions. The food was delicious! Thank you Sarah.

Four of us visited today after a long dog walk and were not disappointed. Outside space pleasant with both covered and open garden areas. Staff very friendly and attentive. Good selection of pub food favourites and those we had were well presented, looked good and tasted great. Good selection of real ale, can’t go wrong with Dark Star and Harvey’s! Great value for money and enjoyable experience.

Stopped off for a quick bite to eat and to get some respite from the heat. Food was excellent and lovely warm welcome. Can't wait to visit again.

Just had a stunning lunch of burgers and beer. Home made lamb burger was outstanding and having option of field mushroom instead of burger bun was brilliant. Dark star hop head and pale ale beer a great combination with food

Visited with a group at lunchtime. On the face of it a slightly down at heel traditional village pub serving standard pub food. Fish n Chips, Sausage and Mash, Chilli and burgers. Bare floor boards, even a kick rail around the bar, mismatched furniture. A real pub in fact. What makes up for the decor is the service and the quality of the food both of which are a step above the norm. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, all were of a very high quality and served efficiently and happily. The variety of local beers are well kept.

No longer owned by Dark Star but their beers are still represented alongside other well kept others such as Hophead and Harveys. Reasonable choice of lagers also. Two bars, "public" for drinking locals with Sky TV and "saloon", not plush enough to be called "lounge", somewhat barn like but with a real fire one end. Most friendly efficient lady doing most of the work. Good choice of basic pub food, certainly inexpensive. Small car park, a bit tricky in the dark but other places to park nearby if full. Definitely not a gastro pub but one of the last bastions of a traditional village pub in the area.

I work with young adults with Learning difficulties and we visit The Partridge twice a week. The staff make my guys very welcome and s do the customers there. This is a good pub that serves good food that isn't to expensive. Good beer and a fair sized car park

I came here for lunch with my cousin. It's typical pub grub, done very well. I think the last time I came here was for a wake, so it was nice to come for a more cheerful occasion. We both had the scampi & chips, and both enjoyed it. The meal was very well cooked. I normally send the chips back if they have been salted by the chef, but at least these only had a pinch of sea salt. which was just about bearable for anyone like myself that does not like the taste of salt. I would definitely eat here again.

I’d identified this pub as a lunch stop due to its varied food menu and association with the esteemed Dark Star brewery. On arrival we found that it’s no longer owned by Dark Star, and hence no longer the brewery tap, but that proved to Not Be A Bad Thing as it’s now an unpretentious free house but still featuring several of Dark Star’s excellent ales as well as others from Harveys of Lewis (six quality real ales in all, iirc), as well as the usual lagers and ciders. Lunch choice was exceptional, with a really extensive menu of “traditional pub favourites” plus sandwiches, open sandwiches, various things on toast, a huge combination of toppings for focaccia melts, hot dog and burger options, a number of veggie choices. What impressed us was the ability to have many/most dishes as standalone snacks/starters, or as a full meal with chips, salad etc, while the main courses could also be had in small or standard portions. My wife had an avocado, bacon and cheddar focaccia melt with proper chips; I had a bratwurst hotdog with beef chilli, cheese and jalapeño topping. Quality and quantity was excellent and prices were extremely reasonable - eg you can have a plain burger for £5. The whole lunch, with two very filling meals, two soft drinks and two ales came to less than £20, which I think is unbeatable these days. Ale-wise, I had two great new taste new experiences via a pint of excellent Dark Star Partridge best bitter, followed by a Dark Star Eastbourne Star winter ale (5.5%) which was superb. Needless to say, my wife drove as we continued our journey. We ate in the no-frills front bar, which is a high ceilinged Victorian room (the pub was once the Station Hotel); there are several other more atmospheric eating areas in the long side bar and a room beyond that. While some parts of the pub are in need of a little maintenance and tlc, it’s very obvious that the new owners (Mick Barry and daughter Rachel) are very serious about the choice and quality of their ales and food. We were just passing through, and the pub was relatively quiet on a Tuesday late lunchtime, so I hope the local community get behind them and give the Partridge the success it deserves.

The Partridge is a good pub to stop at if you need a quick drink or have a quick snack. I have been there many times and every time its been good. The pub offers a; dart board, snooker table and a good shipwreck for kids to play on. It also has a sweet machine which costs 1 pound! Also the staff are really friendly and they do nice meals with good drinks and also really nice snacks such as; pork scratchings, crisps, nuts and much more. Dogs are welcome. Because there is nothing bad about it I decided to give it 5 stars. Overall it's a really good place to go especially if your just having a quick stop.

We were on our way to the Sussex Prairies Garden at Henfield and, luckily, came across this pub. By the look of the rear entrance where we came in, I thought it was going to be a shabby joint, but we were pleasantly surprised inside. The staff were friendly and we had a good meal. My wife and I both enjoyed a steak, a big portion of chips, onion rings and peppercorn sauce for a total of £18, which we thought was reasonable for the food provided. I liked the Dark Star beer too. The other customers, a family group and a couple of businessmen, added a bit of atmosphere.

Quiet pub at the time, stopped off for quiet drink during a lengthy walk. Pleasant pub, friendly staff.

Ok, so we're part of a running/walking club and visit different pubs on a Monday evening through the summer. So, it's fair to say we have had some wide-ranging experiences! The Partridge did us proud ...we were about 30 in number, and offered a good selection of real-ales (Dark Star, London Pride, Sticky Wicket, Tribute etc), in good condition and well-served (the landlord has a focus on this), and more than 10 of us ate off the standard evening menu (thanks to the landlady for opening the kitchen specially!). A very pleasant couple of hours in their large function room. And of course, the countryside around Partridge Green should get a gold star mention too!

Popped in here for a bite on way back from a cycle ride along the Downs Link cycle route. All I can say is WOW, the staff were all really lovely, the food was fresh, tasty and value for money and drinks were again reasonably priced.Like us there were quite a few cyclists enjoying the place however most of the customers were clearly local and the place was buzzing. Lots of kids, large beer garden with things for kids to do, parking, cycle racks, lovely large place and great loo's clean and nicely laid out. Must have driven by here 100's of times but never popped in but this will now become a regular drop in whenever I'm passing. Thanks everyone who made this an enjoyable visit.

Spur of the moment let’s go out for lunch day. The pub is within easy walking distance from home and dog friendly so choose to go here. So glad we did. Lots of choice for roast dinner. One had pork and the other lamb. Massive portion of a really tasty roast dinner. The best I’ve had in along time. Staff were welcoming and so friendly. I think our waiter was called Sean. He was so polite, kind and friendly a real credit to the pub. I know the owners have not been there that long, but they really are doing a good job. Thank you

The Partridge is back; the new Chef, good supplier, beer on point and fire going on a cold Sunday. Simple Sunday roast menu, vegetarian option and desserts.

Due to its location we decided to meet friends here for lunch. At first we thought we had made a big mistake due to the huge room virtually empty with no fire or music and therefore no atmosphere. We it ended well as the food was good and the place filled up a bit. Most had a roast ( there were several options) which were well sized and tasty. I had the pie of the day - steak and kidney which also was very good bar the chips which were a let down. I then had the sticky toffee pudding which was very good.

My family live locally to The Partridge and we often pop in for drinks and food. Without exception, we always receive a genuine warm welcome. The new owners deserve real credit for putting their heart and soul into the pub. Food and drinks are very good. Menu offers a wide choice for all tastes all at reasonable cost. We last visited this evening for a family meal. Once again no complaints. Well worth a visit.

went in for a Sunday lunch with my kids and a friend - we had a superb roast and fish and chips, followed by lovely puddings, what a great feast and really good food too, back on our radar again, thanks see you soon, cheers Mat

We dropped in to The Partridge whilst on a cycling trip on the Downs Link. It had rained all morning and we were dripping wet. This pub had loads of secure cycle parking and they were really friendly, didn't bat an eyelid that we were all wet and muddy. Their menu had loads of great food on it and you can eat really well for not too much money. Thank you to the Partridge for being there for two wet hungry cyclists!

Walked here with friends for a rainy Saturday afternoon drink. Very friendly and enjoyable with local beer. Definitely recommend

Large, sprawling pub on the edge of the village it has been modernised in the "bare boards and un-matched tables and chairs" style. From the road you might not realise it has a pleasant garden area, just the place to sit on a warm day and sample the good selection of beers(especially the local 'dark star') and try the good, straightforward and generously portioned food. Alternatively there is an indoor area with tables and a traditional bar area too. The pub hosts live music and other events as well.

Have previously enjoyed our visits to The Partridge and travelled 20 miles to visit both the pub and Dark Star brewery nearby. This was our first visit of the year and on a May bank holiday weekend but not too busy when we visited. Immediately felt this was not the same place as before - hanging baskets full of dead pants, inside the pub was dirty and loos were messy with flooding on floors. The 6 hand pumps were down to 4 with only 2 Dark Star Ales the Partridge best bitter not available. The landlord was drinking lager and didn't really seem bothered. The bar staff were friendly enough but didn't know much about a range of drinks that several visitors wanted. We were told the pub had changed hands in February. Just hope the new owners are not trying to run the place down and change it to residential use. It used to be a great Dark Star pub to visit so hope it can get back in better shape or we wont be making the long journey to come here again.

Nice building, large garden with play area.

A very nice pub with excellent food. We used our bikes to get here, lunch time on a Saturday. Took a long time (60 mins) for the food to be served. But, once it was served it was delicious. Nice garden with a nice children's play area. More for the younger ones. Good selection of largers and beers... Would have got a 5 if the serving time was better...

Basic and limited pub food is on offer here and I was surprised by some of the reviews giving it high scores. My score of 3 is generous. The photos on the website are not what you get served. It is not very appetising and it is not very inviting as a venue. A basic greeting would be nice as you walk in but the staff don’t look fussed at all. I visited here in the summer too and not much has changed. Even then on a hot day we were told all the table parasols were broken so there was no shade whilst eating in the heat. Yes you get a Dark Star range but is somewhere you don’t want to stay in too long.

I come here fairly regularly, but usually just for a drink, but as I ate here this time, I thought I would post another review.

We visit here regularly, the food has always been really nice especially the burger and rump steak. There isn't much choice on the menu but enough and what is on the menu is genuinely always done well in our experience.. they also always seem to use local produce which is a big thumbs up in my opinion. Great beer choice and staff always super friendly.

We came to The Partridge for lunch on Saturday as it has a lovely playground for the children. The food was much better than we expected. My husband had a cheeseburger, which was excellent. Fresh brioche bun and hand made chips. Children had cheese and ham toasties which were really nice as well.

I have to say the one time I ate here the menu was small and food very average. Since that occasion I have visited for a drink and game of pool many times. The staff are friendly and drinks a good price.

Decided to walk to this pub on a Tuesday evening for a meal. As others have said; the menu is quite limited. However, you would think that with a limited menu more or less everything should be available.

Stopped here for lunch after a tour of the Dark Star brewery.

I have always liked this pub, unfortunately we where very disappointed with our food. It was not very busy at the time but still took over 40 min. The slow cooked belly pork, couldn't of been any slower. No crackling and as solid as a...

Nos cruzamos en el de West Grinstead's a Link, a 20 minutos/2 millas o así y este fue un gran lugar para quedarse. Bebidas frías, parque de juegos para los niños y un montón de mesas al aire libre. Para un sábado por la tarde...

Este lugar es realmente acerca de la cerveza, que es excelente. Hop es un favorito de cabeza y también probé la revelación.

The pub itself if pleasant enough and the beers were varied and well kept. The rest was well, average, it was okay but I'd be hard pressed to bestow any kind of accolade on the staff or the food. The menu is fairly limited but what we had was okay, which is about the most I can say. I'd be more than happy to while away an afternoon here as their beer is excellent but dining I'm not so sure.

After dropping off a vehicle in a nearby industrial estate, I had to wait a while to be picked up and so, walking into the town of Partridge Green, I found the Partridge on the corner, inviting me in with a clear and clean outside. Entering in, it is SO nice to find a traditional public house and not one that has been converted into a gastro eaterie or a Tescos! I was greeted as I entered and after a quick view of the surroundings, I ordered a lemonade (terrible I know but I was 1. on duty and 2. having to drive later on as well)! The Partridge is split into three areas, the immediate bar and pool table as you walk in, another bar area further in and then a seating area for food at the rear. There was a range of impressive proper beers under the Dark Star label - I intend to return and taste these when not on duty!! The beer garden has a paved area and then a grassed area for the children and is lovely to sit and watch the sun descend and here the night chorus commence. Within the third area, there was a proper log fire and lit - wonderful to remove the chill once the sun has vanished, with a bookcase to help while the hours away as well. A range of newspapers were available on the bar areas for all and sundry to partake if required. A group of people had ordered some food and it looked delicious, browsing the menu had a standard pub fare, again, I intend to try these another time. Soon my lift arrived and I was sorry to leave, but will return soon

Some easy cycle routes from the village and a great place to stop for a pint and a bite at the end. Food was excellent value and freshly prepared not fancy just good quality and a great pint to boot.

We have visited this pub for Sunday lunch which was lovely, excellent Roast Beef , games of pool and last Thursday evening for the quiz night which is great fun. The staff are friendly and there is an excellent choice of wines and local beers.

Had a cycling club Xmas party there in 2015. Food was good, staff accommodating and a well-equipped function room for an awards evening. The highlight is of course the Dark Star beer which is impeccable. Being the brewery tap, the whole range is on offer.

we had a fab lunch today in the Partridge with our Labradoodle, the pub is very dog friendly, has fantastic good quality food (i had the steak mince cheeseburger) and great Dark Star beers too...all in all a great way to spend your Saturday lunch time

Came in this pub which has a nice interior and seating area. There were only 3 tables that had people sitting at. We didn't book but the staff were kind enough to find us a table. The food came within 15 mins and was well presented. The burger was pink inside and wasn't cooked. They took it back and it has taken nearly 45 minutes for them to replace it as they have said it takes 20 to 25 minutes to cook a burger which I know isn't true. Very disappointed for a pub which has had good reviews before. Won't be coming back. :(

The pub is stylishly decorated in an informal manner, spacious and comfortable. We visited for the excellent Dark Star beers which definitely didn't disappoint. Neither did the Fish and chips which were some of the best we've had. The staff were friendly and helpful. The menu is limited but we view that as a good thing, this is not trying to be a gastro pub and so the prices were also reasonable.Well done we will be visiting again.

The inside is a lot larger than what you would expect and nicely decorated, a pleasant garden out the back with play area which had the sun on it all day, could do with some more umbrellas as we did get quite hot. Drinks and food good, ample parking outside. Would visit again.

We were just driving past, spotted the garden and decided to stop for lunch, so glad we did. To me, it's the little things that count. Yes the menu is smaller than some, but I'd much rather have VERY tasty food from a limited menu (there is something for veggies/carnivores) than a fast packed, deep fried, 'ping' menu. Picking up on other reviews, it's not the cheapest, but it is certainly one of the best and you don't my paying a bit more for quality ingredients - that includes the beer. What sets this place apart though is the staff, exceptionally helpful and the little touches like providing sun screen for people who use the garden - now that IS inspired! The place is about to have a refurb (shut some Mondays in July) but it was spotlessly clean, rustic, friendly and my only annoyance is that they aren't a bit closer to home - I'd definitely be a regular if they were!

Six of us enjoyed dinner at The Partridge. It's a traditional pub, so you order and pay at the bar. A very good selection of beers and cider.The food arrived promptly and was very good. However, the menu is very limited - only one vegetarian option, a lack of vegetables with the meat options and not much more if you don't want a steak or a burger.As locals, this limited menu makes it difficult to go there frequently.

This pleasant pub has a delightful ambiance with an interesting menu. The service helpful but a little slow from the kitchen. Scampi and fish tasty.The only real adverse comment would be that the prices are higher than one would expect......Deserves support but expensive

Always an enjoyable meal at the partridge though the menu seemed smaller than it used to be. Still great quality though and absolutely the best ale around!

Staff were helpful & friendly, the food was tasty & the beers was excellent as always. We had booked a table & this was ready when we arrived. We had the mushroom burgers & the sausage & mash - everyone was very pleased with their meals. Veggies would like more choice.

This pub is great for a pint and the fact it has one of the best fish and chips in the area makes it even better. I can't wait for a sunny day to sit in the garden and sample many more of their fine ales

Stopped here for lunch after doing dog walk. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Dogs allowed in bar area, sat by fire and had very nice lunch. Hubby had small portion of fish and chips (which was a good size), I had half a pint of prawns. Food was better than expected. Free wifi

A lovely pub, great beer (Dark Star Brewery), food was a buffet for the 80 guests and it was excellent (good selection, all well made/cooked, and more than enough). Staff were great, friendly and efficient.

The food is wholesome and the portions are largeall the meat comes from the excellent local butchers and the beer from the local dark star brewery.

Had a family meal on a Saturday lunchtime. Not many people in the bar and only 1 table taken in the restaurant part. Staff put the fire on which was great as is a big room so bit chilly! Food was delicious...sausage & mash/cheeseburgers/fish & chips. Children had smaller portions which were still large! Yummy! Wouldn't say a massive variety on the menu though and looked like only 2 options for Sunday roasts. Large garden with lots of seating and playground. Would visit again.

Great little find, we popped in on our way though looking for a Sunday lunch, pretty simple menu, 2 roasts, Roast pork belly, Roast sirloin , plus a good selection of others, we had pork belly roast , very good portion sizes and rump steak cheese burger very nice in a brioche bun, Only disappointing think was the small selection of puddings , but have to say the brownie with ice cream was good.If we are passing we will return.

I had a Sunday lunchtime meal there which was poor quality. Yorkshire puddings were burnt and hollow, greens were overcooked and the chicken was tasteless and looked if it was cut from a compressed roll. The supplier of the meat is allegedly my local butchers which is well renowned for it's first class meat. If you are into your local beers, i have been told by friends that the Dark Star beer is excellent (the pub is owned by them). On a more positive note, I had a Christmas 'do' there with 20 colleagues and the food was excellent.....perhaps I was just unlucky.

The Partridge is a “brewery tap” masquerading as a village pub, The Victorian interior has been tastefully modernised to provide the home outlet (brewery tap) for the Dark Star brewery, which is situated a couple of hundred yards down the road. The pub comprises of two adjoining bars, a largish (ex-barn like) eating area and a medium sized garden.During our November visit, the beers provided (via 8 hand pumps) were from Dark Star's varied range - Partridge Bitter, Hophead, Revelation and their seasonal offering Winter Meltdown plus another which slips my mind. The beers were in wonderful condition, the staff were helpful and the ambiance friendly.The lunch menu is restricted (about 10 offerings), but the fish and meat come from named suppliers and our meals were beautifully cooked. This certainly isn’t the cheapest pub we’ve ever been to, but it couldn’t be faulted on quality. The Partridge is situated in Partridge Green, 100 yards from the Downs Link Way and 20 yards from the wonderful number 17, that runs between Horsham and Brighton, so access for those who enjoy a pint is really easy.We travelled (for our this our third visit) about 35 miles on four buses from south London, this should tell you how much we enjoyed our first couple of visits (and how we make use of our Freedom Pass).

try the Mushroom burger...how did they make a filling meal from one mushroom???? It sustained us ...with the help of good beer in a 12 Km walk from and back to Knepp castle safaris.

The menu is limited but the food is good and seems to be freshly prepared. It is also really good value for money, we had 2 meals and a pint of the excellent Dark Star Partridge and a half of the Dark Star cider for just over £20. My wife had the small haddock and chips and really enjoyed it as she was able to eat it all rather than have too much food and struggle to finish, a really good idea to offer small and large portions.

Unfortunately, booked fro a party of 5 for Sunday lunch, when we arrived were told they had been let down by food supplier. Offered hot dog or roast belly if pork or roast beef which turned out to be very fatty.

We popped in to take advantage of the 2-4-12 offer. What a great deal, best ham, egg and chips for ages. Alright it's a limited menu which doesn't excite but 2 meals for £12 just cannot be ignored especially as the other half loves Dark Star beer.Staff courteous, toilets dated but uber clean, locals drinking, weeny car park (full!) and as said fab ham, egg and chips....oooohhhh must mention great onion rings too.

Served 9 of us a great impromptu roast beef Sunday lunch. Wait wasn't too long, price is very reasonable. We were all happy.As always the local DarkStar ale lives up to expectations.Staff helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic welcome for adults with LD. The hosts are patient, kind and will assist with any problems.

I regularly take my staff each Friday to The Partridge for a quick lunch and a few drinks. This is a great local pub with really friendly staff and a great chef who serves great pub fayre. The landlord, his wife and young family are always in or around the bar checking on the clientele. Esther the bar maid is always singing and has a friendly comment for young and old. This is not a gastropub, just a friendly traditional pub. It's owned by the local DarkStar brewery so the beer is produced a few hundred yards away and is fantastic.Enjoy The Partridge!

OK, so The Partridge doesn't have aspirations to be a gastropub. But why should it? The food here is a cut above. We had roast chicken, halloumi and mushroom burger, cheese sandwich and chips and burger and chips for main, then ice cream and summer fruit tart with vanilla cream for desserts. The food came out fairly quickly and was consistently good, with as much as possible being locally sourced. Standout dishes were the burger (delicious, moist and great flavour) and the summer fruit tart, which was blackcurrant (tart indeed!) with a lovely side of vanilla cream to take the edge off. The dining area in the restaurant is a bit cavernous and the acoustics don't help the atmosphere - it feels a bit village hall-y. But on a sunnier day, with more diners, I've no doubt the place feels more fun and upbeat. On balance though, go for the food, not for the vibe at lunchtime.

We took our two kids for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. The lunch was great. Standard pub grub but generous portions cooked really well. The garden area was great for the kids. Puddings were huge and absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful.

This is the brewery tap for Dark Star so always has 3/4 of their ales on draught and more in bottles. It also sells decent ciders and lagers on draught. Its a really nice pub, with a decent garden, and serves proper pub food, done really well.Vikki & Rob the managers are both really nice and friendly, as are all the staff. Its a perfect place to stop if you're walking or cycling along the Downslink path, as its just off it.We highly recommend it.

Haven't been to the Partridge for a while and thought we would give it a go for Sunday lunch. I had soup followed by Pork loin. The roast was very nice with lovely crackling and home made apple sauce. Enjoyable lunch and would go back again in the future.

No we wouldnt. Filled with very young people buying rounds with credit cards Sorry not for me Prefer more relaxed atmosphere with mixed age group. Staff more keen getting back to talking to the 'young people' than serving Shame because Dark Star have good reputation or beer. This wont stop me drinking their beer

Just had a delicious sunday lunch at the Partridge, following a game of tennis with friends. The pub has a friendly and relaxed vibe, great beer and a really tasty roast dinner. The burger and the fish and chips also looked excellent choices.

We'd been planning to come to the Partridge ever since it has been taken over by Dark Star, regretfully it was a disappointment. The Sunday lunch was fairly good, excellent whitebait starter, nice meat, though not off a joint, good potatoes but undercooked veg. The beer was excellent, the staff are charming. What lets the whole place down and puts me off going there again is the sad state of the decor. It need a good dose of tlc and a lot of cleaning: cobwebs above the curtains, dirty lower area of the bar, grubby windows. Brighten it all up and maybe more people will come - it was very quiet.

One of our favourite locals. It's a pub of two halves really. Part old man's pub/part Hoxton Square trendy. This is not the weird mishmash it sounds; it works in a something for everyone kind of way. Love the dining area, if I could sneak that fireplace home in my bag - I would! It's a Dark Star pub (the brewery is just round the corner and is definitely worth a visit) and has a fantastic selection of real ales. Not my thing at all but much appreciated by my husband. He recommends the Six Hop or Revelation. The food is generally good but it can be hit and miss. The standard menu is well done - we tend to go for lunch and have a sandwich with cheesy chips. There used to be a fab warm pork bap but sadly that's disappeared off the menu. Sunday lunch was a let down; overpriced for the size and unremarkable. However the chocolate pudding is amazing. When we've had it in the past the chef has brought it out himself - I think he must be proud of it - and rightly so! There's a midweek set menu which is great value and tasty but next time we would definitely stick to the standard menu. If all you fancy is a snack there's homemade sausage rolls and scotch eggs behind the bar which go down well with a pint. Also worth a mention is the beer garden which is surprisingly big and family friendly.

As last summer's visit was very successful to this real pub which is a few hundred yards from the small local Dark Star brewery. The three local real ales are all excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and as we arrived back in two lots of 12 in each with a 30 minutes gap all were served promptly. Walking along the adjacent Downs Link on a cold but dry day put is in the mood for something good at lunch and we were not disappointed.

Lovely pub in a beautiful village. The pub is welcoming to all as well as having fantastic choice of alcohol. It is a great place to visit if you are walking along the railway line nearby.

Good beer, which is to be expected. The food is standard pub grub, though the ham I had was excellent, really tasty. Good service from the lovely South African barmaid. A wood burner blazing away, which would be even better if it had some comfy chairs around it, though I imagine they would be the best seats in the house. A good local pub, with great beer.

This is the brewery tap for the Dark Star Brewery, which is close by.I could go into raptures about the beer and the food - basic pub fare - is perfectly acceptable.

The Partridge was, once upon a time, called the Railway Hotel and was located a short distance from the long closed railway line and nearby station. It is now the 'brewery Tap' for the excellent Dark Star Brewery, located a few hundred yards down the road.The pub looks very bright from the outside but on entering this establishment it is difficult to be impressed. Seating is basic and the front bar is shared with a billiard table. The television on the wall hung at a strange angle and looking at the floor the pub could have done with a deep clean. There were however some interesting vintage photographs of the village. Just after noon there was nobody else in the pub but gradually the locals appeared and by 13.30 there were eight others in the bar. There is a room at the back, which is effectively a dining room and there were several people, mostly retired couples, having lunch.Make no mistake the beer was in excellent condition with a good range. Being near the brewery it should of course be in good condition. At £3.20 per pint for the Hophead the prices were very marginally below average for a country pub. The prices on the menu were in our view expensive, for example £11.50 for fish and chips and nearly £10 for a burger. However (and this saved the day and the points rating) they had a lunchtime special going, which advertised "two meals for £12".We opted for ham, eggs and chips and while the volume was not great is was satisfactory and the food well cooked. There were about four choices on the £12 deal menu. While the 'deal' was attractive you should not have to pay twice the price if you happen to visit on your own.Overall on the basis of the meal deal and the excellent ale the Partridge is deserving of a four out of five assessment. Five out of five is achievable if the place was cleaned/spruced-up a bit and if the main menu food prices were a couple of pounds cheaper. Yes, I would visit again if in the area, unless they cancel the meal deal.

We had a family party one saturday in July. All was fantastic, food was excellent and well presented , cooked by a kitchen team that has a passion for good food the way it should be, a rare thing these days. The FOH staff were friendly and efficient and made the lunch enjoyable. All round a fantastic and lovely day for our family celebration. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Visited after a long walk. A friendly welcome , great choice of beer..of course being a Dark Star pub. Food menu a cut above normal pub grub, had a ploughmans as had sort of set our heart on that! Was just what it should be and can't wait to return and try some of the more interesting options, particularly the veggie choices.

This was the closest place to eat to the bed and breakfast (The Windmill Inn, Littleworth). I loved nothing more than eating the bangers and mash with a local brew after a day spent walking the Downs Link. Portions and quality were just perfect. Great atmosphere both in and out. Always people around. Very nice service. It sported a range of food from pub food to tasty healthy food. I admired their local brews a lot.

A good village pub with friendly professional staff and decent pub food and drink. We've visited several times for lunch and, now that Vicky and her husband are running it, it's a pleasure to visit. It's almost entirely been refurbished inside and out.

Went for meal on sunday. The food was lovely but not what I call pub grub. We ordered a roast pork dinner. Had to search for the vegetables under the meat. This was adult size but my very thin 10 year old ate it all. I had the cajun chicken with cous cous and potato salad which I thought was an odd mixture. The cous cous was not much more than a tablespoon. Would have been so much better with a large mixed salad and a decent amount of cous cous. Must say the chicken was delicious. The other meal ordered was a cheese burger which looked gorgeous. Proper homemade burger with homemade onion rings which were lovely but a bit greasy. All in all good food but a bit pricey for what you got. These meals were £10 each. Think the burger was a bit cheaper. Desserts were good but again a bit overpriced at £5 each. I wouldn't eat there again when wanting a good pub meal.

Visited for lunch. I had beef chilli which was very good and a generous portion. The menu concentrates on traditional pub food and is reasonably priced. The beer is excellent, as would be expected with the Dark Star brewery round the corner. The staff were very cheerful. Will certainly visit again!

Went to the Dark Star brewery for a tour and them on here afterwards for another pint and lunch.The food was excellent and fair to say it exceeded expectations. We had the burgers which were very tasty indeed. The other plates that were coming from the kitchen also looked very good.As you would expect being owned by the brewery there were a good selection of the Dark Star beers on tap.Would be a good place to stop if you are on the Downs Link route as its only a few hundred yards off the route.Friendly and helpfully staff enhanced our visit further and we would return here again for sure.

Called in for Sunday lunch. I'd describe it as stripped back - sort of old England meets New England. Bare boards on floor and walls, reclaimed church pews for seating. It is definitely aiming itself at the local market, plus walkers, I'd say. And it really did seem like we'd walked onto the set of Crufts. Every second person had a dog with them. It seemed that the canines were the real "regulars" and were all very well behaved.We'd go again for an informal lunch if we were in the area.

Were we not living a stones throw from The Partridge we certainly would travel to enjoy it. We've been in the village for 5 years almost and in that time have seen the pub emerge from "an old mans" bar to a wonderful friendly village pub. Owned by Dark Star Brewery in the village and ran by Rob and Vicki it has really turned around. We've held post christening gatherings, first birthday party, family birthdays and "just because we can" nights here and always have been more than delighted. The staff are funny, friendly and professional. The food is good too and all locally sourced. Always a pleasure to pop in and thoroughly recommended!

Went here for a lunch midweek the food is extremely good quality!! Would highly recommend coming here for a quick bite to eat!!

Six dark star ales on tap, good pub food - no pretensions; friendly staff and a great pub setting. It enough to warrant a move to Partridge Green - all this and living at the centre of West Sussex!The ales were perfectly kept - as usual and it was hard to resist sampling all six.The Sunday lunch was well cooked and tasty and the coffee good. A menu of pub favourites to sample plus homemade sausage rolls to accompany a pint when a meal is not required. Look forward to next visit - wish dark star beers were more widely available in sussex.

Warm welcome with hearty home cooked good value food. Interior is a bit basic, but the big plus is the fact they serve Dark Star beers.

Popped in for a light Sunday lunch while walking along the nearby Downs Link While we only had a couple of salads and the kids had roasts the service was very friendly, food was tasty, restaurant area comfortable, and there was a good selection of locally brewed beers. There was a small pub garden with swings and slides for the kids.One awkward thing though was to have a tab open they wanted to keep the credit card behind the bar which isn't really standard practice these days, and there was that awkward moment when I was asked for a credit card to pay the bill and I had to explain that the staff already had it.Apart from that, would certainly return if we were passing.

Were it not for the fact that I live opposite the Partridge it would be a pub that I would travel miles to visit. The beer is always excellent, the pub being the Dark Star Brewery Tap, which carries the full range of Dark Star beers. For those who do not like the taste of proper beer there is a choice of two ciders and one or two lagers - although mass-market rubbish lagers are conspicuously and gratifyingly absent.The food is all locally sourced (with the providers’ details being shown on the menu) and is prepared on site (so you might need to wait for a while before being served). The standard of the food is excellent although it is not the cheapest place around. But if you want mass-market fast food, there are plenty of other places to try.The menu choice is limited and changes – but there is always a game and a vegetarian option, along with the usual suspects. Children’s portions are available and the kitchen is always happy to try to modify a choice should you not like a particular component.The pub is both child and dog-friendly and this does mean that, at certain times (Sunday lunchtime, for example) it gets very busy and it’s worth making a reservation.One thing to note - the post code of the Partridge - RH13 8JS - covers about half a mile of Church Road and on many maps this means that the location is shown as being about half a mile north of its actual situation. If you find that your SatNav tells you that you've arrived when you reach The Green Man (on the right) then keep driving. The Partridge is on the left at the junction of Church Road and the High Street.Highly recommended.

Very hit and miss but last time i went here i had an awful chicken salad just drowned in mayonnaise, prob the worst thing i have ever had in a resturant/ pub. Friends plowmans was equally poor, think it could be a good place with a few tweeks. Cider was nice

This is the"brewery tap" of the nearby and brilliant Dark Star brewery. I got there by cycling on the Downs Link and only wanted a light bite.Even though it was a Sunday lunchtime and the place was busy with punters chomping on roasts, they were happy to give me a big, super fresh cheese bap with salad for about £4, washed down with a top drawer pint of Hophead.

Had Sunday lunch here with 3 others. I had roast beef with all the trimings. Nice crunchy potatoes, lean meat, well cooked vegetables. My wife had venison, which she enjoyed a lot and my daughter and her boyfriend really seemed to enjoy their burger meals.I don't like having to endure the scrum at the bar to order the food - just a personal view.£55 for the four of us was not bad.
