The Six Bells in Horsham

Fantastic family-run pub, great selection of drinks and a lovely pub garden (when the sun is shining). Definitely a must visit when in Billingshurst.

Popped into the Six Bells to catch up with friends and family over the easter weekend and Wow!!! We had heard that it was under new management and the change is amazing. Clean, warm and inviting from the moment you walk down through the garden and to the bar. Can’t wait to go back soon!! Thanks for a lovely Saturday afternoon!!

Have never been to this pub before but noticed it was a re-opening and what a great time we had both the service and staff were amazing. A pizza van had been booked which went down storm. The gardens are beautiful and I can only imagine how nice it will be in the summer, I will definitely be returning.

We visited The Six Bells over the Easter weekend for the first time in years! Zoe and the team have created a fantastic atmosphere. It’s super family-friendly with plenty of seating and nice cold drinks - what more do you need! Apart from more of the homemade crème egg Rocky road that was on sale at the bar…!!! Looking forward to trying out the quiz night :)

Wow, what an amazing pub. Visited twice over the opening weekend and was very impressed with what has been done with such a small amount of time! The bar was well stocked and had multiple different types of beers, spirits and wine to chose from. There was a pizza van for food on Friday which was a great idea as they are still awaiting a chef, to still be able to get food there made us stay even longer. The pub has had a refresh and looks great, fresh walls and some new lights have transformed the place. It has the old pub feel but is cosy and comfortable. The garden is a lovely size and has been spruced up, ready for the sunnier days. I cannot recommend the pub enough. I will be going back to try the food for sure and definitely be back for a drink or several in the near future!

We spent all day here, beers were great, wine was great, food was great. So much better since new ownership has taken over. Will definitely be coming back again

What a transformation! This pub was almost at a point of no return, but seeing this pub on my visit last weekend wow what a change. The pub is now an inviting and welcoming place for friends and family to meet with a great well kept outdoor space and plenty of seating. Inside the pub feels welcoming and warm with a new lick of paint and plenty of stock on the bar! A great variety of choice on tap and plenty of spirits available, everyone is catered for. With it being opening weekend there was no food from the pub itself but the pizza van in the car park clearly went down a treat. What a fantastic idea whilst the new owner settles in and hires the right person to take on the kitchen. I can’t wait to see the future of this place and a massive well done to Zoe and her team for bringing this pub back to life!

Fab and spacious pub that has been really nicely done up by new management since March. The pub has a classic feel but is not old-fashioned. The staff were very friendly too.

Went for Easter Sunday with some friends for a few drinks, had been past this pub many times but never been in & so glad we did. Delightfully charming & super cosy! Under new management & can already see how well this place is likely to do!

A lovely Easter weekend spent visiting The Six Bells. Great beer and atmosphere along with a fab garden. Pub has been spruced up and staff were all very friendly. Wishing them every success. We will be back.

March 2024 - Under New Management. After frequenting the six bells at the back end of last year and being disappointed, we heard that the pub was under new management starting this Easter Weekend, so decided to give it a try. The Six Bells is a beautiful, venerable and characterful pub with a cracking garden out front; the perfect place to go for the sunny Easter Saturday. As we arrived, changes were evident; the garden had had a scrub up, with plenty of lovely spring planters lining the walk down from the high street to the front door, before being greeted by the busy atmosphere of couples, young families and a few old guard enjoying their pints and Aperols. Inside, the lovely new owner has given it a nice lick of paint and a good scrub up that really complements the character features and stone flooring of the venue. Plenty of drink options were on offer - a good guinness and IPA’s were the order of the day and plentiful - something that had been missing from our last visit. You name it, they had it and that included plenty of Ice and fruit/botanical to go with the multitude of Gins, spirits and premium mixers. A firm favourite with the wife, but we’re yet to try the wine list, which again was well stocked (no more of the super sweet Zinfandel!!). All in all we had a great afternoon on the beers and are really pleased to see such a wonderful venue get the TLC is really needed. Worth a visit and we’ll certainly be enjoying the garden more as the clocks go forward. The pork scratchings were also pretty damn good too! We will be back. E & BP

Nice pub, good food nice garden

This place has really gone down hill. The new management have really ran it into the ground. Barely any drinks available due to no stock and the kitchen closed because they can’t maintain a chef! Staff look miserable and there’s no atmosphere anymore. Lots of young kids in here now, rowdy and volatile. Lots of drug use in here too now, where are licensing to check this? This use to be a family pub and I wouldn’t dare bring my children in here now. not the experience we are use to from this pub. This pub has been been getting worse for the last year, although since December it’s been noticeably a lot worse. Probably the owners have just taken on a new pub in another village and can’t be bothered to even get spirits in. This pub use to be a real gem in this village. We’ve had many happy summers here, lovely food and a fantastic atmosphere, this has been completely destroyed by whatever management has been brought in and the lack of effort put into the pub. I wish they would bring back Kirsty and Kirsten who could actually run this pub successfully. It’s an absolute shambles.

This used to be the best pub in the village. Was supposed to be eating with friends but was told they no longer served food despite it being advertised on their website and Facebook page. We decided to stay for a drink... no white wine, no vodka, no spiced rum. The mam with the beard and long hair (who apparently is now manager!) Was rude and has absolutely no customer service skills. The tall chap with glasses and the young chap who hosts the quiz were very pleasant and apologetic. I felt sorry for them running around like headless chickens whilst the manager leant against the bar on his phone chatting to friends. These two members of staff are a credit to the pub but unfortunately they're the only good thing left about it. Whoever owns this pub now has wrecked it. If Hall and Woodhouse read these reviews I hope they act upon it and get the pub back on its feet again. For now, we will be drinking elsewhere. Very sad 😔

A pub that doesn’t pay its staff and doesn’t care for them at all. No wonder this pub is being run into the ground. Lifeless and zero atmosphere. The Manager also needs a lesson in what customer service is. As for the Licensees - they gave up ages ago so no wonder the pub is back on the market. Needs a proper professional couple who will get rid of the kids and drugs and utilise the pub garden.

Came with friends for drinks over the Christmas break. They had no wine glasses so we had to have a wine in a half a pint glass. The gentlemen behind the bar with the pony tail was incredibly rude to our whole group. I tried talking to him about the pool table and he was too busy on his phone watching a video to answer my questions. The tables were sticky and surface of the table wasn’t even screwed down to the table frame and legs so one of the friends slipped and spilled there drink and fell over. My partner asked if they had any wine glasses for us and he was then replied with “ do you have any more questions” by the bartender when he was asking a simple question. Utterly disappointed overall and felt like we weren’t welcome at all. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

I took a friend for fish'n chips as it was her birthday. The person I approached on the bar to order had a very stroppy attitude. We picked a table to sit but were told to sit somewhere else although the Restaurant had many empty tables and there were no reservations. When the fish'n chips arrived I immediately saw that the chips were very dark and charred/ burnt at both ends. I was told they are not burnt. My friend and I had to dip each chip into the tartare sauce to cover the charred taste. A lady came round to ask whether everything was alright. I mentioned that the chips were burnt. She passed this on to the kitchen staff which made this stroppy person appear again trying to tell as that the chips were not burnt but were home made and not frozen like other places use. When I paid, I again mentioned to the lady that the chips were charred and she agreed with me. I must mention that we had fish'n chips in the Six Bells last year and everything was fine. I cannot comment on other food they serve but the fish'n chips we had was not a enjoyable birthday meal.

Poor to say the least... bar staff rude and couldn't be bothered to even pretend to be interested in clients! Food crap.... got sent back, staff had major attitude about this.... fish and chips.... 9 chips!!!!! 9!!! Sorry but come on! 9!!!! Was shocking, spoke...

Saturday night & no New Zealand savvy b I drink in here regularly (3 or4 times a week) & it's not the first time my beverage of choice has been unavailable & often there's a lack of pump & bottled beer that my partner &...

Big pub, fairly quiet, served all the usual drinks. OK.

Had lunch here, not planned thought it looked a nice location, clearly they were not expecting to have as many customers as there appeared to be only 2 staffing the entire place, we ordered our food which took an age to arrive and I had...

The food was reasonable and hot. Off putting was the smelly dog wandering around. We ended up moving but he was still around. Reluctant to return. As I said food was ok but I don’t like dogs!!

Nice village pub, plenty of outside seating, inside is nice and spacious, could do with more "proper ales"

Usually a lovely experience. My father is disabled and we like to sit in the garden for accessibility and ease. We got asked to leave at 8:30pm on a Saturday. And after asking to use the toilet and being told why should they stay open just for us… lights turned off on us. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Best pub in village staff are all amazing 👏 Fun and polite down to earth. Lovely food 😋 Great karaoke 🎤 Great quiz lovely beer garden and pub. My favourite place to be when I want to go out for a couple of drinks ❤

Had the mixed grill which was absolutely delicious I can still taste it. Very friendly bar staff especially Joan who made us feel very welcome. Wines fresh and kept at correct temperature and very reasonably priced compared to others. Great bunch of locals who were...

Disappointed at our visit today after 4 years. Piri chicken burger only comprised of chicken and lettuce with no tomato or onion included and the chicken was tougher than it should have been.

For the 1st time in 4years we both revisited the six bells in billingshurst, and even though the pub has lost none of its charm we were both disappointed with the food. The piri piri chicken burger had hardly any sauce and the only extra was a lot of lettuce. My so called beef brisket one had two small rounds of beef which was quite hard and chewy, and it certainly didn't resemble a tender brisket. So all in all we were not impressed, and it spoilt our lunch. But the service was quick, and the beer was welcomed.

Our friends live locally and were constantly telling us how good the curry was. We visited today and it was awful. Two couples, the men ordered the curry which arrived cold. They sent it back but there was no apology, it was reheated and sent...

Lovely pub and always nice and polite staff would highly recommend

Just passing through and looking for somewhere to eat.Good outside area - ordered ribeye steak but it was very stringey and didn't seem like ribeye. Good beer but wouldn't rate the food.

A nice enough location and nice friendly environment. Areasonable choice of foods and dishes to choose from. The staff are attentive and polite. A little pricey for the standard of food but probably in line with current price rises and costs everywhere. The food was adequate, although I have had better elsewhere. Having said that, I would recommend for a look in and quick bite or small group to visit for a lunch or dinner.

Absolutely terrible! We came with family for a birthday lunch. No roast dinners available on Sunday, no fish for fish & chips, only 1 steak available. We ordered potato skins - they served whipped cream (as in dessert whipped cream) rather than soured cream! Pizza...

Rating says it all will not be going back

Really great food after a long journey with friendly and helpful staff

Nice and friendly. Nice beer garden

Great pub, tasty food large portions. Friendly staff

One of the worst places I have been. I have been 3 times now and everytime the food took over 1 and a half hrs and everytime the order was wrong. The staff are rude and have an attitude. Once I did recieve my food it had to be sent bk again as it was still raw. I left feeling more hungry than when I got there. If I'm paying £16.50 for a burger I expect it to be right the first time and at least cooked properly

What a lovely pub this is I couldn't belive how big it was inside and there is a huge outside space so will be going back when the weather gets a bit warmer. we only had something from the lite bites menu but it was very nice well presented hot and very tasty thanks very much see you again soon

It’s a nice pub. Just 1 min from my house. The beer and other drinks have a good choice. Food is homely . It’s what you would expect from a hall and wood house. A nice pub garden too. Indoor seating has lots of places to sit. It’s dog friendly too. Would recommend this pub.

Booked last minute table of7,plenty of choice as had gluten free person&meat free person.staff very friendly&helpful.

A quaint little pub & it's dog friendly which is a bonus. Staff are friendly & welcoming. Food is of quality too. Werth a visit,

Went there last Saturday for an evening meal. I booked on Friday night and was pleased to be able to get a table. We were welcomed and shown to our table. The restaurant was much bigger than I thought it would be. We ordered drinks, a pint of laher and a maximum and coke. For starters we had prawns and bruschetta. The food came quickly and was really nice. For mains it was chicken and a brisket beef burger. Both were really good. Another drink and the bill was only £57. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that some items on the menu weren't available and I found there was just a bit too much garlic on the bruschetta. We will definitely try again and I'm sure it will be a 5.

I rung up on Sunday 9th April and made a phone booking of 10 people for Monday 10th April, we were visiting a local attraction, some of our party have travelled from Chester & Wiltshire. On arrival staff were friendly took our drinks order to...

We'd not had the best experience last week, I called and discussed with the manager, service was 5*, food same very impressed and our perception changed for the better. Thank you for this evening, much appreciated, will worth a visit

We had to wait quite some time for the food but when it arrived it was excellent. However chef was reluctant to make changes to a dish on the menu so we had to order for one person in our party a series of sides....

Six Bells Billingshurst is just so good, service is quick and the drinks are fab, they have regular full fat coke on draft which is excellent😍the staff go above and beyond, prices are very reasonable

Fabulous fresh local food, friendly & efficient staff, would definitely recommend this pub/restaurant

Good food, prompt and friendly service.

We have now visited twice in a month. The meat is so tasty, I’ve had chicken and pork belly now. The crackling is lovely and the portions are great. The kids menu is extremely good. Can’t fault this place and you would struggle to beat...

Top pub dining. Excellent value for money a d great service.

Lovely pub and staff. Food was very nice at reasonable prices. Will definitely go again.

Fantastic Sunday lunch here today. We were slightly apprehensive after seeing some of the reviews but pleased to say we had a lovely time. The food was great and the portions huge! Will definitely return.

Fantastic food, fast service. Great staff. Lovely pub all round. 5*

Excellent meal with great service as always! Thanks guys!

Lovely place. Superb beers. Wonderful old building. A little lacking in atmosphere when we were there. Perfect at weekend

Invited here for Christmas day dinner with family. Unfortunately, I have to say the experience was not good at all. Rock solid potatoes, slow service, beer tasted like the lines have never been cleaned. Will not be visiting again.

Great new fresh cooked menu. nice old english pub. fantastic large garden. private rear garden for use with large restaurant/ function room.

Having lived in this village for 30 years, we have been a regular at the Six Bells for quite some time and have always enjoyed the food here, especially during the summer months where we’ve been able to eat in the pub garden. However, my...

I had the most delicious roast dinner that I’ve had in a long time at the Six bells- the gravy was so rich, made fresh with black pepper that enhanced the chicken taste to it. The vegetables were cooked perfect and the potatoes were fluffy...

We went for a Sunday lunch, great service lovely Roast dinner , extra gravy, nice and hot, gorgeous homemade Yorkshire pudding and the puddings were homemade too. I was very happy with my lunch. I would recommend 😀👍

Nice friendly pub,cosy and real fire,very pretty good beers.

Very pleasant welcome and some limited vegan options

Visited 15.10.22 group of five + dog, no complaints on the food, only critique would be the apparent cover manager was slow to show us the desert menu, the regular staff were 5*as always, highly recommend

We went in to have an evening meal. Risotto was plain rice and chicken there was far too much fat on the steak also which accounted for half of it. The bar staff rolled their eyes at both of us when we complained nicely. They...

had lunch there and was very impressed with the menu and quality of the food.. would definately reccomend.

The six bells has always been my local pub. Growing up from the age of 18 it has stuck as the 'place to be' for my friends. However, i will review this with outsiders in mind. Pros: - lovely local atmosphere with pub quizes every week - friendly staff - plenty of outdoor and indoor seating Cons: - drink choice is limited as it is a badger establishment. Personally don't like the selection - food is overpriced. Bought two chicken wings for £8 - sticky tables - toilets where you definitely wouldn't want to slip and fall down

A lovely place to eat, would recommend to anyone

I had to write this review as these days people are so quick to moan and judge. This was such a lovely experience. Both my partner and me on Saturday had a sausage sandwich with onion chutney with a salad garnish and fries. It was...

Absolutely fantastic.. service was spot on and due to the current restrictions.. everything was so we'll handled. Good food and drinks. Will definitely return. Well done 👍 2 trip...and still an absolutely beautiful pub ..good food and great service 👍

Went today and lovely food and the customer service was amazing would definitely come back down to here to eat

We stopped for a spot of lunch, wasnt disappointed at all thats for sure, amazing food!!

Nice traditional pub with good food Would recommend

Bar food looked good. But didn't try

Excellent food and service, beautiful setting

The chicken and bacon salad I had to send back as the chicken and bacon were overdone and dry. They brought me another which was just the same. The rest of it was ok and the chunky chips were great. But no one came back...

Steve offers his friendly welcoming services to all his favourite customers

Always a nice place to have a small interlude.

taste food and friendly atmosphere

Excellent food and value,good service,and nice pint!!

Nice atmosphere had a good chat greetings the sunshine

I can highly recommend the Six Bell for its warm, friendly atmosphere and service that went above and beyond when I was in need of a mixed grill👍👍

Called in for a quick pint while walking the dog nice place large beer garden would recommend

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, great customer service. Sat outside in comfortable chairs, served at the table, good sandwich.

Lovely atmosphere in the pub and beautiful lights inside. Very friendly staff

A lovely place to go, either for food or just for drinks. Friendly staff & great atmosphere.

Great afternoon birthday lunch, we had the Mixed Grill, Gammon and Chicken Burger. We’ll cooked, attentive service and great surroundings. We’ll be back!
