A great location but sadly a very average experience. We went on a Wednesday night during half term and the menu was limited with none of the daily specials actually available but still on the board. I elected to go for the fish and chips and it was almost inedible, super dry and as if the fish had been reheated in an oven, the chips were terrible, dry and super crispy. My daughters had the chicken dippers and the chips had LOADS of salt on them. We were keen to stay for desserts but decided to skip it. I understand they have/had a new chef in so perhaps he was coming upto speed. Sadly I wouldn't return.

Nice atmosphere and seems to be well frequented by the locals which is always a good sign. Visited on a Monday so there was a Pizza van in the car park. We ordered at the van then went in the pub to get drinks and a table. Pizza brought to our table, excellent and probably the best I’ve ever had. Great idea when the main chef has a night off.

We were made really welcome at this delightful pub and restaurant. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. The food was amazing! Delicious Sunday roasts with unusual extras that complemented the generous portions. Good value for money too. High chair provided for our granddaughter and staff were happy to heat up her special food. Would love to go back again.

Visited for lunch after short cycle from Concierge Camping. The bicycle rack was not suitable for securing our bikes, however we were able to secure to fencing. We received a warm welcome on entry and were advised we could sit in bar or restaurant. We chose to sit in the restaurant. We chose the Beef Sandwich. Very tasty and reasonably priced for a freshly prepared meal. Would recommend. **. Owners please look into an improved bike rack **

Lovely spot but a pub that has clearly fallen. We were a party of 5 adults and 4 children who got a lunch booking very last minute on a Bank Holiday Monday (probably should have raised alarm bells). As the only diners our starters still took an hour plus to arrive and then a further hour for getting the main courses. We chased multiple times but the staff were non apologetic. The food was certainly not worth a two hour wait. Don’t normally post reviews but wouldn’t want others to have such a frustrating and frankly awful lunch. We will not return and cannot recommend.

Very disappointing overall experience. Dreadful service - extremely slow at all stages. So bad in fact we cancelled our desert order after being told it would take a further 15 mins after we'd already waited 15 mins! And guess what the desert was ? 2 scoops of ice cream! How hard can that be! Main courses very average - the fish baked cod fillet smoked haddock chowder dish was served barely warm & had very little fish in it, just cold cabbage. Lacking in flavour with watery sauce. Would not recommend. Doubt we will bother returning.

What a find! Great food and really nice staff. We had were looking for something to eat on a Saturday afternoon on our journey from the Weald and Downland Museum to Bosham. As it was after 3pm most places were shut. Desperation set in. But we need not have worried. The menu had some interesting choices as well as pub favourites. We plumped for pork belly, cheese burger and a Cajun chicken burger in gluten free bread. While we waited we tucked into the bread and olives on the bar. A good selection of beers and ciders to wash it down and a bottle of ice cold wine for the table. Food was delicious - served on hot plates - and even the French fries were crisp and tasty. Then to top it all we received packets of Love Hearts with the bill. A proper pub doing interesting food. Thank you.

A Sunday roast with the family. Good in some parts but very poor in others. Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese were all good, those who had chicken were happy too. The wait was quite long for both main and dessert, the beef was sinewy and chewy, and the ice cream shouldn't have been served as it was....not ice cream!! For the high prices charged here, we should have had a better experience overall. These comments were made to the servers and just one ice cream cost (£4) was removed from the bill. We won't be returning.

We were staying at a local campsite “concierge camping “ and exploring the local area and after a long dog walk we popped in for some food and a drink. The food was lovely and service was great. Had a nice chat with some locals . One of whom pointed us in the direction of Kingley Vale . We are so glad he did as we walked there the next day and it was awesome. We would have booked in for Sunday dinner after that but they were full . We will return to the camping site and therefore the Richmond Arms for the Sunday roast at another time.

This is not a fast food restaurant so waited a while ( not too long), but what you get is properly cooked food, not heated up pre prepared. We were told he is a new chef.

I organised a surprise 80th Birthday celebration for my mother and thirty of her closest friends. After visiting several potential venues locally, I was left quite disappointed by how despondent, disinterested and inflexible these venues were. What I experienced at the Richmond Arms from Sam and Dom was the complete opposite. They were friendly, engaging, helpful and flexible from the outset. The afternoon could not have gone better. The team had arranged for us to have the whole restaurant area which made for a nice private and cosy environment for everyone to enjoy. Chief came in early to cook food that was extremely well received by all. Beef Wellington, Coq au Vin, vegetable lasagna were all fantastic and exactly what was needed on a slightly wintry November day, nothing was too much trouble. In these tough trading time it was refreshing to experience genuine hospitality. Thanks Sam, Dom and the team enough for making my mum stay truly special and would fully recommend a visit to the Richmond Arms in the idyllic West Aisling. I can also testify to the Monday night pizza and a pint which is excellent. Proper thin crust wood fired pizza from the van and cold pint, ideal come winter or summer.

The interior is very attractive and the one waitress welcoming and friendly. The menu is varied and interesting with a Christmas special as well as the main choices. We ordered from the main menu, two courses. We had booked a table for 12:30 pm and the first course was served within about half an hour. However it then took over an hour for our main dishes to arrive. Two of us were served but then the waitress departed to deal with other customers paying their bill before returning with the rest of our dishes The food was presented well but was served on completely cold plates which meant the turkey/rabbit/fish we ordered were only warm, whilst the sauces served directly onto the plates were cold . Only the excellent roast potatoes were hot. My dish, the turkey, was accompanied by green vegetables. The broccoli and green beans may have been introduced to the boiling water but their acquaintanceship was brief! ! They were warm but raw. so, a disappointing lunch. The restaurant was not busy so that cannot have been the excuse for the poor kitchen service.

Three of us had a table, two of us ordered the bavette steak (finished on a bbq), 1 had hogget .. I ordered a bottle of Sicillian red wine Nero d'avola off the menu without putting on my glasses (it was served cold - weird, we didn't complain but would have appreciated it being pointed out as it was January after all?!) ... my husband and I felt the bavette steak wasn't particularly tender or a good cut (we have an amazing butcher we use at home). The lamb was better. Desserts ... my mother-in-law and husband said the best she had EVER had, a sort of Christmas pudding flavour with meringue ... I had the salted caramel ice cream which was lovely. Nothing really wrong but somehow the menu is a little 'off the wall' for our taste perhaps, we prefer Earl of March or Crate & Apple but a welcome change.

The choice of menu was perfect and catered for everyone’s tastes.Honestly every mouthful of our choices across a table of 7 of seven of us was sublime! I had well hung hare and hedgehog mushroom croquettes to start and a beautiful brisket for main. Every dish delicious. A lovely selection of ice creams and desserts too. Excellent wine!The chap at the bar who had only been there for a week was knowledgeable, welcoming and Passionate about the pub and his role! Wanted to snatch him up as an excellent advocate for any business. He talked us through all of our choices and wine with ease and confidence.

Do t believe the photo on Trip Advisor. We booked this to take my Mother out for Christmas lunch. We were packed in like sardines. Because of this the noise in the room from everyone there was nearly unbearable, and then the staff turned loud music on. Admittedly they eventually turned it down.The food was a real disappointment. The starters were good, but the mains were very poor. All the roast potatoes and roast veg were sloppy and soft. The creamed leak was very watery. I had belly of Pork which was, I think, supposed to be wrapped in crackling, but this was just a band of soggy fat, not at all crispy.On top of this, the table next to us was full of and arguing family who couldn’t control their children.Overall, and awful experience and one to avoid. Great setting, but there are much better country pubs to eat in in the area.

We ate with friends using the “Country Table” option. This involves advance booking and payment and arrival well before the start of meals being served at 7.30 sharp. There is no choice regarding the menu (all tables get the same meal) and in our case it was ribolta (thick vegetable soup [delicious]) for starter, hogget (lamb/mutton) for main course and apple cake for sweet. The food is brought in large tureens or plates and guests serve themselves. Food is wholesome and well cooked. Coffee was below standard and not recommended.

I have just eaten one of the best and tastiest meals I have ever eaten . Will and his team have just blown my mind in a good way, and I do not say this lightly. I ordered the Suckling Pug shoulder with the butternut squash, chargrilled broccoli and the pickled cherries. It was sublime. The flavours in the pork were magnificent and the butternut squash- I want the recipe. I have never tasted squash like it. A really amazing meal. One I won’t forget. Thank you all. It’s a meal I will really cherish.

Let's start with the positives. It's a really welcoming, appealing room and the waitresses are friendly, lively and efficient. We really wanted to enjoy our lunch here and in parts we did. Starters scored highest. My partner was amused by his cheeseburger spring roll and enjoyed it. I liked my baby artichokes with broad bean and goats cheese hummus - I'm not normally a fan of broad bean hummus, but the addition of goats cheese works really well. We were, however, rather less happy with the mains. My partner was a bit critical of his Secretto corn fed acorn fed Pata Negra pork, largely because of the slick of oil left on the plate when it was finished. I too had my reservations about the so-called 'meltingly tender' grilled organic lamb - not so tender and its tahini based sauce was not unpleasant to the taste, but pretty unappealing on the eye. Something of a delay before the arrival of my partner's peach trifle was almost certainly explained by the frozen slice of sponge at its base - we suspected there'd been an issue in the kitchen with thawing it out. Were we being metropolitan snobs? Possibly. But the fact is the the standard didn't consistently match the prices. We'd certainly go back and give it another try if we were in the area. But the overall impression of the cooking was that it was just a bit too inventive in its attempts to be cutting edge and, for us at least, a little bit more simplicity might produce better results.

We spent Friday evening as dinner guests and also stayed overnight. The menu was mouthwatering and didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Wine menu was excellent and the staff relaxed but attentive despite running a packed restaurant. Ambience was exciting and full of happy customers who didn’t mind waiting for the food as the quality was so good and the staff obviously working very hard.

On a rainy Friday while on holiday, a leisurely lunch seemed a good idea. The Richmond Arms is charming and welcomes dogs. We were seated immediately and took ages to select from the menu as everything sounded great. The scallop starter with pineapple was amazing, as was my Chorizo scotch egg. Mains of Sucking Pig and a cut of Pata Negra were outstanding. Desserts were equally different and divine. Good wine list, attentive friendly service and good value for money considering the excellent standard. Loved it! It surprises and delights.

Based in a lovely and quiet village. Horses clopped by as we sat down to have a pre dinner drink. The windows were open to allow the air to waft through on a warm summer's evening. Very friendly welcome. Service of food from ordering takes a while but everything seems to be freshly prepared and it was worth waiting for. Good food but on the expensive side. Would go again when in the area as it offers something different by way of the food choice and ambience

This was the second Saturday evening visit in as many months. Our first time was a special occasion and we enjoyed delicious woodfired pizzas and the accompanying menu starters. We then had somewhat of a wait to be noticed, for dessert orders to be taken and desserts served, and again an overly long wait for the bill, so much so that I elected to pay at the bar.

Excellent choice of food and wine. We dined on a Thursday night, I had fish of the day, local turbot cooked to perfection over charcoal, thoroughly recommend this gastro pub, easily the best in the local area

Booked for 3 adults, 2 kids. We we’re told upon arrival that their wood fires oven was off, so only gougons on offer for the kids. Apparently we were called and told this (we weren’t), and we’re then told we were told this when booking (again we weren’t).

Nach der Empfehlung unserer Vermieterin und Besuch der Website hatte ich ein bißchen mehr erwartet. Wir hatten per E-Mail reserviert, auch eine Bestätigung erhalten, doch waren wir nicht vermerkt und bekamen nur einen Tisch, weil wir früh dort waren. Die Vorspeisen haben uns sehr gut geschmeckt, auch die Weinkarte war hervorragend, doch mein Hauptgang und die Beilagen fand ich nicht besonders inspiriert und gelungen in ihrer Zusammenstellung. Der Service war zwar nett, aber etwas hektisch. Es war für die Anzahl der Tische einfach eine Servicekraft zu wenig da.

I took some Australian relatives here on Friday evening along with other members of my family. We had a great evening. The food was excellent, the service was first class. The place was clean and well staffed. The staff were very attentive at all times...My guests were very impressed.

I must have cycled past this place hundreds of times but haven’t been in since it was a pub leading the real ale revival in the 70’s. Finally managed to make a booking after it was recommended by a friend who lives nearby. Our meal was superb. The menu is short (just what I like) so it concentrates on good, often local, produce, good cooking and slightly frivolous presentation. The staff are lovely too.

A lovely greeting as we walked in, and though we only wanted a quick drink and a snack it was a very warm greeting. Lovely pub

Found this place on our short break away. Food was amazing and the lasagne is a definite choice for lunch. You won’t need any dinner. Good menu choice for the whole family. Friendly staff and a nice open bar area. Darts and pool room. Clean and tidy all round.

Lovely place with great staff but OMG the food prices are astronomical for a pub! Over £10 for most starters and often more than £24 for a main. At least the alcohol prices weren't too bad though. But won't be going back to eat any time soon, even though the quality of the food was pretty good. P.s. can't comment on the hotel part as only went for food and a drink.
