The best Sunday lunch I have had for a long time. You need to book a table as it gets really busy. It would appear that there are 2 sittings which tells you everything you need to know about how popular it is. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. I will certainly be returning . Car park is quite small.

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.

One of the best ever Sunday lunches. Staff were brilliant when we arrived about an hour early. We waited by a lovely fore and as soon as our table was ready they got us in. Excellent wines. My roast beef was superb. Lovely and red with great vegetables and yorkshire pudding. Staff could not have been better. Our table was quiet and the plavce has a great atmosphere. We will return.

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.

Been about 15 years since visiting this pub. We noticed it had a 4.5 rating so went for lunch. We had the venison hot pot. Wow! 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. Maybe he’ll get them from 4.5 to 5* Beer was very good, Sussex best Very attentive and pleasant staff.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First time visit and with another couple, having booked in advance which is clearly essential. Out of the way place, and parking areas limited, albeit can park down the road somewhere. Seated very quickly on arrival by a lady clearly in charge, and extremely helpful and knowledgable. Menu was not the run of the mill and was so nice to see something different and inventive. We were not able to have anything from the wood fire menu as weren’t in the correct area and you can’t mix menus either which was disappointing for some of our party. Appreciate menus are cooked in separate areas and we wouldn’t receive our food together. Kind of been helpful to know when booking. Food was served nice and timely throughout the evening, well presented and was delicious. Starters included the asparagus, chorizo scotch egg, tempura mushrooms - all perfect, and main meals included braised brisket in sticky bbq sauce that fell apart and Indian chick pea flatbread which was from the vegan menu and equally great. Restaurant was quite noisy thanks to a larger group almost on top of us and particularly loud which was annoying somewhat. Overall food was very good, service too. Cost was around £40 per head including drinks (no bottles of wine) - so above average cost, but for and above average meal.

The steak bavette was cooked to perfection and dressed with herbs and lemon zest. The chunky chips were crunchy, piping hot and fluffy inside. Everything was cooked beautifully and served very hot. Even the old fashioned cutlery was charmingly appropriate. My companion had the pork served with pickled kumquats, also very good apparently. We couldn’t resist the ice cream, trying rhubarb sorbet, grand marnier and salted caramel. They were all divine, absolutely exploding with flavour and rustic charm. The bill was £80 for two people, two and a half courses each, including a bottle of really nice rosé. I thought it was good value at that price and exceptionally good food. The pizzas being served outside looked fab as well.

Having always been tempted to try this al fresco style dining the baby sitting of our twin grandsons provided the ideal opportunity.

First time to the RA and we were not disappointed. Warm welcome, nice atmosphere, not too noisy, and menu selection was very difficult as there were many great dishes to choose from. Recommend the brisket and pork for main, and for starters, recommend the cheeseburger spring roll!

Four of us had a 5 mile walk between 4 villages in West Sussex and our start point was West Ashling, where we came across The Richmond Arms gastro pub and what a find.

My first visit to this lovely gastro pub for lunch with a friend. I was sooo impressed with this pub, it’s surroundings & the food, which was exquisite. I had the chorizo scotch egg to start, followed by monk fish & finally the dark chocolate mousse. I will definitely be returning again soon with my partner, as I’m sure he’ll love the food too!

Went for a celebratory meal with friends one of them vegetarian. All enjoyed the meals, wine and ambience. Unfortunately one of the main vegetarian meals was off that night. Excellent evening nonetheless.

Splendid lunch at the excellent Richmond Arms . If you have not tried this Pub then you should give it a go . More restaurant than Pub it has a fine menu that is a refreshing change from standard pub fare. Great wine list and excellent attentive service. All this and in one of West Sussex prettiest spots

We visited here mid-February for lunch, having eaten there once before. There was only 1 other table in use and we were seated quickly. As time passed, it got busier until there were around 5 or 6 tables in use and the waitress was running around tryin to work the bar and take food orders.

Being lucky enough to live locally, we have been visiting for many years, and this is our number one place to take friends. I can say with confidence that you won't get crossed off a Christmas card list for recommending the Richmond Arms!

This looks like a pub but it’s a fancy expensive restaurant with a bar. We popped in for lunch with friends expecting typical pub food but we were faced with an fine dining exotic menu of things we didn’t really want to eat in the one hour we had for lunch. Having committed to it however, we stayed. The food was ok but not at all what we wanted. We did see another couple come in, order a drink, sit down, look at the menu, then finish their drinks and leave. Fine dining is ok for evenings but at lunch time it needs to be lighter. Fish & chips, sandwiches, burgers, pies, sausages etc.

This Valentine's Day supper was delicious. Pulpo and Sobresada skewers and Haloumi followed by steak cooked to perfection, medium rare, on a wood-fired grill served with chips cooked in dripping and some cabbage all washed down with a Ribeiro from Galicia.

This is a lovely cosy country pub which serves quality food. It is my go to restaurant if I want to be assured of a good meal and is my favourite local eatery.

We have eaten here a few times over the years, and generally it's been ok, but finally we had a breakthrough and this meal was quite something ! Broccoli as a starter may not be everyone's favourite, but it was very tasty, as was the beetroot 'kebab'. All diners had the braised brisket with dripping chips, which was simply melt in the mouth. And the puds were good too ! On a weekday lunchtime, we were the only diners, which meant we could hear each other, even if it meant there was a lack of atmoshere. But - no reason to stay away, great food ! And the service was very friendly, prompt and helpful !

Used to be better, they have always been very very good at accommodating allergies or special diets. We have always had good food and service over many visits, our last visit was very different! The waitress wasn’t very smart, she didn’t remember the special items we ordered. When the GF toast arrived it was burnt, we asked for a replacement and it was burnt the second time.

I cannot recommend this highly enough, the food is outstanding and you can choose to eat a la carte or Pizza, both are amazing. Proper food, beautifully cooked. Great wine list and the rooms are warm and comfortable.

Sunday lunch with the mother in law. Booked late the night before and they managed to get us in, thankfully. Everything was fantastic. Decor, service, oh and the food was delicious. We all had the lamb (with the funny name) leaving us reeling in delight for the rest of the afternoon. Perfect roasties, creamy leeks, roasted parsnips and carrots were all yummy. Harvey's beer on draught... I had a combination of the two (IPA and Old Ale) the staff informed me it's called a 'Mother in Law' because its old and bitter! Told the mother in law too.
