The Sloop Inn in Mid Sussex

Went today for a Mother’s Day Sunday lunch and the overall experience was disappointing. There are so many tables rammed in we had to ask the lady at the next table if she could move her table so we could actually sit down. Then the chairs were so high it was hard to fit legs under the table. It was far too hot in there, it was uncomfortable. Low ceilings, heating on full blast and tables cramped in does not make a pleasant experience. As for service the young lady was very friendly but every time she got to every table (not just ours) the first words out of her mouth were “sorry” because there was something missing or people were waiting. The Sunday lunch menu is small. It’s either a roast, cod or a charcuterie board with no explanation of what the later contains on the menu. Mum can’t usually manage a Sunday roast so she ordered soup and some bread off the menu, shame the waitress didn’t tell us that the soup came with bread, as I ended up with 7/8slices for a pensioner to eat a total waste of money and food. We had a beef and a pork belly, Expensive and small portions, you can get a better Sunday roast at pretty much any local pub for a better price too. The portion of beef was good but one small slice of pork is unacceptable for nearly £25. One small Yorkshire, bearly any gravy and a tiny portion of veg. The chef should head up the road and try the Farmers, they know how to do a roast… as does the Witch just a little further away. The cheesecake was ok, expensive for what it was but the.crumble was rubbish, huge chunks of undercooked apple and not a strawberry is sight, topped with the smallest amount of crumble ever. The place really doesn’t represent value for money, the environment was cramped and stuffy. We won’t be back and I can’t recommend

Had a lovely meal all cooked perfectly, the beetroot and goats cheese starter was especially good and service was excellent.

Great to find a pub slightly off the beaten track that serves an excellent lunch on a monday. Not far from the Bluebell Railway, Sheffield Park and Wakehurst.

Went for our work Christmas lunch.Very disappointed in the main course. Turkey was turkey roll.No bread sauce, no cranberry sauce.Only veg was kale and carrots no traditional sprouts.

Traditional Sussex pub in a rural location. Really excellent food and good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic Nut Roast! It is so hard to get a Nut Roast. And to get a delicious one is extremely hard. I am usually offered pasta as a vegetarian option for Sunday lunch in a lot of pubs. So thank you for providing a gorgeous Nut Roast. Quality ingredients very well cooked.

Had lunch here with friends while walking the mid-Sussex border path. I used to drink here many, many years ago and the new pub is, probably, an improvement. It's smart, tastefully, decorated and furnished but still retains atmosphere. It's a gastropub but the service was excellent, the food very good as were the beers. Reasonably priced as well. A pleasant surprise

So sorry to say that I will never go there again! The food was sub standard!A goats cheese souffle that was so flat and over baked! Looked like a powder compact! I could go on and on!Feeling that I was ripped off!

The Sloop Inn - only 5 minute drive from where I live. First time there and I didn't know what to expect. We went on a Friday for lunch and got there just after half past noon. The place was already more than half full. We sat outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our beer battered skate wing, with chips, tartare sauce and dressed salad leaves. Top quality! We shared an apple, plum and blackberry crumble, with vanilla ice cream. Faultless! Portions were generous and well presented. All the staff, from the young lady taking our orders to the guy at the bar making the drinks to the lady bringing the food (sorry, I can't remember their names) were friendly, helpful and attentive. I will definitely go back and spread the word. Well done and keep up the good work!

We had an excellent meal, the staff were spot on, friendly and professional. The moule marinier was superb and a dessert with Brighton Blue and crumpets is uniquely fab.

Lovely pub and garden and the food was ok but the beer was off... and they are rude... they don't have the first idea about customer service and I felt uncomfortable being there. What on Earth is the point of a country pub if you don't feel welcome?

Fantastic food, great service. This is a gem of a gastro pub. The menu us interesting and the food is executed perfectly. They were very accommodating with Celiac Dietary requests.

So expensive... Came in today for a catch up with my mum We ordered a large glass of sauvigion blanc, a coke and a glass of soda water... were charged £18.75? We questioned the bill and the guy behind the bar just shrugged his shoulders and said that's the prices I don't make them up ...so a large glass of sauvigion blanc was £13 a coke was £3.50 ( was not offered a glass with ice or lemon) just in a bottle and to top it off they charged £2.00 for a glass of soda water.. .££2.00 for carbonated water.... no lemon no ice no straw.... really really not impressed Disgraceful

What a fabulous, country pub!! We loved it so much we came back a week after our first visit last weekend. After a brilliant Friday night drinking with the locals and playing the traditional, Sussex pub game, Toad in the hole. We decided to book a table and return for dinner on Saturday evening. I can honestly say we had a beautiful meal at the sloop Inn. I cant rate it highly enough. My wife is vegan and my friends partner, vegetarian. They catered for all of us. The food was fabulous. My Monk fish and leek risotto was out of this world. The staff are fantastic too and super 'dog' friendly. We will be back soon with our other friends who I'm sure they will fall in love with the Sloop Inn just like us.

Really excellent. Delicious food. Excellent staff. NOT a chain, hurrah. Many options for the sort of seating you want. Parking. Lovely rural setting, yet close to A272 Long established... with good reason.

I have always enjoyed visiting this pub and the quality of the food and the wonderful service. However, this pub has recently changed hands and the new owners have ruined the pleasantness and quality of this pub. Having arrived it took quite a while to order a drink and between receiving a menu and having my order taken was over 35 minutes. Poor in my eyes, that’s for sure. Having browsed the menu I thought there was some reasonably nice sounding dishes to offer. Thinking I would try something off the pub classics, I decided to go with the trusted Beef Burger thinking I would be playing it safe. Was I more wrong! There was nothing on the plate worth talking about. Burger was basic and had a door wedge of a poorly chosen mature cheddar. All you could taste was cheddar… To put an example of what the burger was like, it was like taking a hobo, putting him in a suit and top hat, giving them a very fancy title, higher premium and hoping no one notices they are still a hobo underneath. Will not be visiting again anytime soon. Prices went up and the standards went down. Food and service was brilliant all visits before this. Would recommend you look for another place to eat and drink!

Fantastic traditional fare at this excellent local pub. Very reasonably priced with good service and a great atmosphere.

Newly refurbished which is a great improvement good old english country pub very enjoyable lunch service good food and local beers Management ansd staff could not be more helpful an excellent Chef

Solíamos ir a la Sloop en los años ochenta, y fue un poco boozer, avance rápido de 30 años ahora es otro nivel. El dueño y el personal es muy servicial y amable como son los lugareños, probamos el pato silvestre, venado y burger regados con cerveza que todo algunos estaban deliciosos.Charlamos con el propietario y nos dijo de todas las mejoras que ha hecho, que son fantásticas,Luego vino el chocolate y caramelo tarta de conjunto. . . . . Fantástica

Me gusta pensar que soy una persona justa así que veamos comienza con algo positivo. Después de una larga semana en el trabajo, mi marido y yo pensamos que a nuestro local pop para comer un bocado. Habiendo observado la reciente renovación mientras conducíamos a trabajar y buscando en el menú en línea, teníamos ganas de algo de comida sabrosa.Nos recibieron cálidamente por una señorita y me dieron una variedad de mesas para sentarse en diferentes áreas.El menú era variado y de temporada, así que hay mucho para elegir y pan recién comprado a la mesa, que era un toque agradable. Pedí un refresco y mi marido, limonada.Yo opté por el carpaccio de empezar (8 libras) y el pato para mi principal. El primero llegó rápidamente y estaba delicioso. . Hasta que encontré un pelo. Esperé hasta la camarera venía a recoger los platos y discretamente señaló el pelo ilícitos en el lado de mi plato, después de todo, estas cosas pasan a veces. La camarera nos ofreció disculpas y dijo que hablar con el gerente, que brevemente se disculpó en su camino hasta la otra mesa diciendo que sería algo "tipo".Poco después llegó el plato. Mi marido pidió la hamburguesa que parecía encantador (gran patatas fritas). Ahora no soy un crítico de comida pero viniendo de un pueblo agrícola, hemos comido un montón de juegos en mi tiempo y mientras el pato se veían bien, sabía y olía horrible. Después de ver mi cara mientras masticaba, mi marido preguntó a probar y dijo él pensó que sabía. Yo estaba tan avergonzado tras el incidente de pelo y no quería causar una escena tan envuelto el resto del pato en la servilleta de papel (no de tela, como cabe esperar) y ponerlo en mi bolso. Tengo que admitir que no puedo quejarme ya que sólo quería dejar así cuando la camarera se acercó y nos ofreció un dulce, FOC rápidamente rechazada. Debo señalar que esto no era un céntimo de guardar o hacer ejercicio, pero la oferta scrounging para tomar nuestras bebidas (una Pepsi de la pistola y una lager limonada) de la factura era francamente decepcionante, después de pagar 8 libras por un entrante con un lado de pelo no deseado. La señorita llegó a llevar nuestro pago con tarjeta (2 entradas y 2 platos principales, menos una pepsi y limonada) y preguntó si todo estaba bien. No puedo decir que me emocionó que nuestras bebidas fueron los temas y no el ser, así que accedió a descuento más de £4. Como cliente local y pagar, me sorprendió su enfoque trivial. Por desgracia no volveremos.

Visitamos este pub de Agosto y aunque decepcionó mucho que había dejado de servir comida que no visitar, y lo han hecho ya en numerosas ocasiones con amigos y en pareja. Valió la pena la espera, el servicio y la comida es genial, con mucha variedad en el menú que se cambian regularmente. Los propietarios y el personal son muy simpáticos y no podría ser más servicial. El helado casero es para morirse, y aunque en una ocasión que se había acabado de una de las opciones que yo quería (amaretto) el chef hizo "su" con galletas amaretti para mí y fue una bendición. Hemos visitado los sábados por la noche, viernes por la tarde y la hora de comer y cada vez el servicio, estándar de Harveys y el nivel de la comida amarga nunca se debilita. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Sloop Inn para disfrutar de una buena comida, personal estupendo y encantador ambiente.

Cinco de nosotros paramos aquí para una comida rápida en el camino hacia el Lindfield fuegos artificiales. Hacía calor, el servicio era bueno y la comida era excelente. Mi hijo tenía el pato silvestre y encontramos un pedazo de shot - le dije que resultó fue una pasada! Y, tienen Harveys!

Only fifteen minutes drive from Haywards Heath but you feel you are deep in the English countryside. Nice leafy garden, better than average pub food, reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Plenty of parking space and very leafy garden.

El 21 de octubre de 2016 calle tuvimos una cena familiar festiva en el Sloop.Mi marido, que solía vivir al lado de la colina, en Sloop Scaynes su madre siquiera ocasionalmente cocinar allí, quería celebrar su 70 cumpleaños con su familia en un entorno familiar. Todos viajamos desde Holanda donde vivimos esa semana, mi marido dependiente de una silla de ruedas, y estábamos deseando una buena comida antiguo pub. Las valoraciones tripadvisor eran todavía mejor que nunca.La comida estaba bien, nada fuera de lo normal. Pero el ambiente no era muy acogedor que fue la gran decepción para nosotros.Explicamos por qué estábamos allí y por qué habíamos elegido específicamente la Sloop para celebrar. No hay reacción del personal.Una camarera youngish era amable y sonriente, pero la pareja obviamente corriendo el lugar no parecía interesada en que visitan su establecimiento. No tienen tiempo para sus clientes aunque no estaba tan lleno.Ahora sabemos por qué.

He conocido el Sloop bajo administraciones diferentes durante más de 40 años. Ahora ha sufrido una renovación completa. Todavía tiene la mayoría de la distribución original y tiene un aspecto limpio y atractivo.Llamamos para el almuerzo el miércoles y me pareció mucha gente, pero no era desagradable. Las comidas que tuvimos fueron absolutamente deliciosos y bien presentados. Teníamos sopa y pigeon para empezar y rodaballo, salchichas y torta de carne para platos principales. Todos eran de excelente calidad y bien cocinado. Encontré algunos shot en mi pigeon que sólo va a demostrar que es salvaje. No "comer barato", pero muy buena relación calidad-precio.El servicio era amable pero discreto - como debería ser.Supongo que si tengo una pequeña crítica es que el Harvey's mejor era un poco amargo (solo un poco), así que un poco de atención para pagar apagado. podría cellarmanship Sin embargo, esto no fue suficiente para que dejara de dar una clasificación de 5 estrellas.

Nos reunimos con amigos aquí la última noche para la cena y las bebidas, la comida era excelente, con una buena selección de cervezas no la típica lager/marcas de pilas que fue muy refrescante. Personal muy amable, especialmente los propietarios, volveremos muy pronto, gracias a Stuart.

Desde el momento en que entramos había una cálida bienvenida de Katie y Gary.Nada era demasiado problema para ellos. Debido a que todo era fresco, no significaba que podían acomodar necesidades dietéticas especiales mi madres.El menú es pequeño pero tiene algo para todo el mundo y se cambia según la temporada.El pan casero es un delicioso.El pescado y las patatas fritas y la carne al curry son las mejores que hemos tenido. Todos estábamos comiendo con la comida de los otros.Usted debe asegurarse de que deja la habitación para budines. El refresco y frangipane de esponja con plátano y toffee están simplemente fuera de este mundo. Los helados también son caseros.Estábamos ya estamos planeando nuestra próxima visita a la salida de la puerta.Nuestra camarera Katie fue fantástico. Ella era muy educado, amable y una sonrisa.Gracias por una gran comida y Gary, Katie los chefs

I cannot recommend the food here highly enough. We always have a lovely evening when we come and the staff and service is excellent.

El pub está en una calle muy tranquila y mi país el GPS me llevó por dos veces en una ruta ligeramente irregular. Llegué a casa, lo busqué en TA y mi esposa, de 4 años y yo reservamos el almuerzo de domingo.El pub es precioso. Muy bien decorado, bien ventilada y impecable. Decidimos comer fuera, ya que era un día hermoso. El jardín es precioso. A sólo 4 coches pasaba mientras estábamos comiendo y la mayoría se convirtió en el aparcamiento de un pub. Hay un motor de vapor oxidado enfrente del pub, que era un imán para los jóvenes y adultos por igual.El personal era amable, servicial y sonreía. Mucho. Un equipo feliz. Servicial sin agobiante.Bueno ale de barril y una buena carta de vinos.El menú es limitado, pero es de la mejor. Siempre soy sospechoso de pubs que supuestamente sirve hasta 20 platos en el almuerzo y mantener la calidad. Había 6 entradas y 6 platos principales, pero a la mayoría de gustos de catering con énfasis en el pescado. Tienen un pequeño menú para niños tales como salchichas y puré de patatas, pescado y patatas fritas y cena con asado.La comida era fantástica y muy bien presentada. Sabía aún mejor. Ambos tuvimos el primer plato de pollo y platos principales parfait tuve el bacalao y patatas fritas. La perfección. Mi esposa tenía la opción para vegetarianos halloumi. A ella le encantó. Mi hija de 4 salchichas y patatas fritas derribando su. Budín seguido y al mismo alto nivel.Tuve una buena charla con el dueño Gary después. Él tiene una verdadera visión para construir un pub local, que es un pub, pero aún así como proporcionar comida fantástica. En la fuerza de nuestra experiencia de lo que es la consecución de este objetivo. La factura total? Para empezar, dos adultos, una de las comidas principales, una comida para niños budín, dos pintas de cerveza, una copa de vino y refrescos... £66. Bien vale la pena.Los demás clientes eran una mezcla interesante. Las familias con niños pequeños, jóvenes y parejas mayores, varias generaciones de la misma familia, distribuidas así que nadie era una encima de la otra.Ya que mover a East Sussex hemos probado unos cuantos pubs país. Este es en nuestro top 3. Los otros siendo el gato en el Oeste y la escotilla Hoathly Inn en Ashdown Forest.Pruébalo. Usted no será decepcionado.

La renovación es encantador y el servicio era excelente. Comida maravillosa también. Más de pub restaurante y dirigida principalmente a adultos, aunque permiten diners niños en lo que creo que era el antiguo bar público. Tuvimos una comida agradable y el propietario y su personal era muy amable y eficiente.

En una fiesta que pensamos terminar la tarde con una visita a la Sloop. Esta es nuestra primera visita durante muchos años y la primera vez desde la reforma, que tiene un aspecto muy elegante y está abierto y ventilado, y sin duda un aspecto encantador durante la tarde soleada de ayer. El jardín estaba bastante concurrido, tanto con adultos y familias, pero hay un montón de espacio. Sin embargo, nos quedamos muy sorprendidos al saber que el pub no normalmente abierto un lunes y aunque era festivo nos dejaron de servir comida a las tres de la tarde!No siempre sorprende a mi marido y a mí que me parece que puede tomar todo el día, pero todavía hay pubs que termine sirviendo comida temprano. Están perdiendo una gran cantidad de negocios, y nos pregunta que el costo de mantener al personal no vale la pena. Mientras estábamos allí otras 3 parejas llegamos al bar preguntando si aún estaban sirviendo la comida. Tenemos relaciones de comercio en el pub de Dorset, y no dejan de servir comida hasta las 21:00 horas todos los días a excepción de los domingos cuando la comida termina a las 3:00 pm. Té Helado se sirve todos los días de 30am a 6pm.El Sloop sirve una muy buena pinta de cerveza Harveys, así nos revivirá en un momento cuando la comida está todavía disponible para dar su menú probarlo.

Over the past few day's my husband and I have eaten here several times as we were staying nearby. Everything we had was gorgeous the steak was cooked perfectly, cheese was room temperature and all beautifully presented, the Sunday roast was the best I've had in pub for as long as I can remember the beef was really good quality cooked slightly pink the vegetables were cooked al dente so you could taste them the Yorkshire pudding was perfect slightly crispy on top but not over done and the roast potatoes were like homemade and if you can fit it in after the large portion sizes the deserts were scrumptious too frangipane was as good as I have had in Paris. We will definitely be coming back we loved everything we had.

El Sloop reabrir este verano después de un cierre prolongado y es un bienvenido de vuelta! El propietario, Gary, mantiene una variedad de cervezas lager y sidras. Sin Stella, Carlsberg o cualquier otra marca en la vista. Eso significa que tienes una deliciosa bebida cada vez y no la sosa de la marca. Las cervezas cambian periódicamente, pero siempre hay un interesante sabor para disfrutar. Me dijeron el lager es bueno, pero si no he probado yo mismo. Hemos visitado varias veces durante el verano, y hemos sido la suerte de sentarse en el precioso jardín. El servicio es siempre bueno y rápido sin ninguna prisa. El menú cambia regularmente, pero el pescado y las patatas fritas parece un estándar y es excelente.

Fui hoy con mi madre anciana que no es muy móvil. Nos recibieron en el Garden Pub y la casera incluso llevó a su silla un 'adecuada'. Es de fácil acceso por un camino llano desde el aparcamiento (nota, si tienes niños o menos adultos móviles lo mejor es usar el aparcamiento en el mismo lado del pub más que el uno al otro lado de la carretera como la inevitable idiota viene haring). El jardín tiene muchos asientos y mucho espacio. De movilidad reducida acceder fácilmente dentro. looLa comida era deliciosa y abundante. Ambos tuvimos el cerdo desmenuzado ciabatta, que era delicioso.Vinimos aquí como otro (muy pensado.) pub no tenía claro acceso minusválidos o en su sitio web o por teléfono- dos pasos hasta el jardín no es aceptable... su pérdida!Volveré junto con cualquier grupo como parejas, familias, niños y, por supuesto nuestros perros :-) gracias.

Tenía una fantástica Carne asada cocinada justo como a mi me gusta... Se deshacen en la boca. Las verduras eran firmes y crujientes y presentado preparado caliente. Mi esposa no estaba muy hambriento y nos acomodamos para una hamburguesa se quedó impresionada con la porción y me encantó las patatas fritas.Bien hecho Chef volveremos!!!

After a major revamp and a new kitchen it is good to see The Sloop back in action. Great place on a sunny day with a large and attractive garden well served with seating. We only had a light lunch which was satisfactory without being outstanding with something of an obsession with ciabatta bread not only for all the sandwiches but also in the ploughmans which not only seemed odd ( how many ploughmen went off to work with ciabatta in their lunch I ask) but also expensive at £12. Also it seemed a bit strange to be given a choice between three cheeses which then came in two decent slices - why not give a choice of any two from three cheeses? Hopefully these are still teaching troubles and at least the beer is still good. Give it a try.

Just the place for a relaxing drink with friends AND great place to eat - the menu is very good and even better to eat! Gary and Nicki make you very welcome and the are some interesting beers to try

We had a lovely family meal, very friendly and attentive staff, nice surroundings and well priced menu. Will go back.

De haber estado cerrado durante 18 meses, el Sloop de renovación reabierto de nuevo este año y es genial. Buenas cervezas, un atractivo menú y buen servicio. El jardín es precioso y tiene un montón de asientoshay mayor zona de campings a poca distancia, así el pub está muy acostumbrado a tratar con grupos grandes. Eso significa que la pena llamar con antelación para reservar.Principales iban desde £9 - jamón, huevos y patatas fritas a 20 libras para carne. Pescado y patatas es de £12 y £13 burger. Hay una variedad de ciabatta el menú cambia cada 2-3 semanas. Calidad de la comida era estupenda.Menú para niños tiene 3 opciones (salchichas y puré de patatas fritas de jamón y huevo //pescado y patatas fritas cuando visitamos) en £6.

Una agradable sorpresa escuchar que la Sloop ha sido tomada y convertida en un lugar encantador para cenar. Techos bajos, pero mi marido solo tenía que pato una vez, agradable zona de bar y un montón de lugares para cenar. El primer campo era horneados con queso Camembert, mini preciosa y pan pickle muy bueno, seguido de langosta y Mango ensalada, y este era muy especial, un montón de langostas y la cantidad de ensalada. Buena selección de vinos y cervezas y un buen ambiente. Volveremos, espero que habrá variaciones del menú sobre las estaciones.

Nice clean place nice garden well kept happy staff good service .Food was tasty but small portions taken to anew level, have a sandwich before you leave home if not have one when you get home.

El Sloop ha sido reabierto después de reconstrucción importante. Si esto es típico de la calidad de la comida y el servicio será cerrar sus puertas muy pronto. Pedí el hígado con tocino en dolieron £13.00. Debería haber devuelto el plato a la cocina, pero se quejaron y comimos, dejando algunos en el plato para que el chef para comentar su esfuerzo. No hay disculpa ninguna oferta de descuento o una bebida como recompensa. El entrante era apenas aceptable gravellax siendo escasas en volumen y guarnición. Comida para dos, con una copa de vino (pequeño) y dos pintas de Harvey's, con un dulce a menos de £60.00 era mala relación calidad-precio en comparación con muchos otros establecimientos locales. Esta fue la segunda y última visita a este lugar caro y amateurishly run

Hemos estado en el Sloop varios años seguidos, y si algo es mejor. El pub estaba recientemente remodelado y con un arrendamiento de vida y algunos frescos personal atento es un placer visitar. Hay un buen camping al lado si te apetece un poco de frescura rural.

Nos perdimos y tomó mal el giro y encontramos en Sloop Lane cuando vimos el pub. Recientemente inaugurado después de una extensa renovación nos sorprendió gratamente encontrar este establecimiento incluso si era por accidente. Teníamos asados del domingo en el jardín, servido por un personal encantador que no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Comida: Excelente. Un gran cordial bienvenida y despedida. Decoración y equipamiento: Excelente. Limpia lavs y lavadora. Nos iremos pronto, no podía haber sido mejor.

The pub had just been refurbished. It's now really nice and with great service and really good food. Harvey's beer on tap. The typical pub fish and chips was great. Experienced friendly landlord.

Visitamos el Sloop en su fin de semana inaugural y tenía un buen sandwich vegetal (falafel y harissa), estaba bien que la opción para vegetarianos no era sólo de queso - resolvió volver y tener una 'comida grande' cuando tuvimos oportunidad.Ayer fuimos de nuevo y esta vez tenía una buena comida, la comida era claramente casero y aunque el menú no es extenso, hay una buena selección y debería ser algo para todos los gustos.Los entrantes y platos principales estaban bien pero el cokked estrellas del espectáculo fue el postre, absolutamente deliciosa!! Dos de nosotros tuvimos el pastel de polenta con posset y dos tenían fresas, chocolate casero y quebradiza, todavía estoy pensando cómo el delicioso pastel fue y posset!! Aparentemente el chef hace su propio helado y ojalá hubiera probado el ruibarbo y natillas.Había un montón de familias en la cervecería que vinieron todos dentro durante una tormenta y lluvia, lo que hacía un poco de ruido, pero el personal permaneció tranquila y servicial, y nos las arreglamos para encontrar espacio para la mayoría de la gente.Hay una buena selección de cervezas y refrescos y sin duda volveremos. Los precios están bien para la zona y los vegetarianos están bien atendidos.

Tenía un excelente asado los domingos en el recientemente reformado el Sloop Inn, con la familia y tres niños de 7,5 y 4 meses. Excelente servicio y excelente comida, el asado es probablemente uno de los mejores que he tenido en un pub (losas de tamaño generoso rara cadera, impresionante patatas asadas! Yorkshires perfecto), entrantes eran sorprendentemente innovador y resultó encantador, postres igual a toda la comida. Todo un trabajo fantástico en la cocina. El servicio y el ambiente? Así, fuimos como recomendado por amigos locales sin ninguna duda, pero visto un T/una revisión que cuestionaron la atmósfera familiar claramente necesario - que me preocupaba. Mis preocupaciones eran completamente extraviado. Estos chicos tienen una pasión por la comida y hospitalidad y a través de todo resultó ser nada pero los anfitriones perfectos. Gran personal, amable y atento, y orgulloso de su producto, así debe ser. Nuestros hijos disfrutaron de sus comidas y conseguimos una le obsequiaremos caseras al final, les encantó tanto como nosotros!Esto es realmente una buena comida, un pub, así resultó, y me gustaría que fuera mi local.Bien hecho El Sloop Inn. Ir. Disfrutar.

Nos dejó en el camino a un spec visita jardín so bre. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos con el atento servicio de todo el personal. La comida era excelente, aunque sólo quería un solo curso. Tuvimos pescado pero el domingo asados que vimos como se pasaron parecía excelente.

En el Sloop llamado para una bebida y una comida posible pero fue realmente como estar en una escuela de bebés juegos. Algunos niños pequeños 20 o así tener un tiempo estupendo y muy ruidoso - sin sentido de los padres de que no era un McDonalds. No había duda de estar aquí para comer.Lo siento, pero esto no es lo que yo espero cuando voy a un pub del campo. No regresaré de nuevo... al menos no en un día soleado de verano.

Buena para ver el renovado y abierto de nuevo Sloop. Un salto en el pasado viernes para el almuerzo. El personal era amable y servicial, el servicio era de primera clase, la comida era excelente, de pescado y patatas fritas y lubina. El pub interior es obviamente totalmente nuevo. Parece buena, pero un poco fría y sin alma. No dudo en calor con el tiempo. Vale la pena una visita, hermosa ubicación.

Es estupendo ver un pub encantador como este reabierto después de casi dos años de reformas y una inversión y también fantástico ver que son bebedores local y el dueño de bienvenida es tratando de controlar los elementos revoltosos" de campings locales sobre el pub.El menú página web parece interesante, pero el menú del almuerzo, simplemente ofreció la mezcla aburrida de sándwiches, ciabatta pescado y patatas fritas, hamburguesa y patatas fritas, etc. Nada parece ser hecho desde cero (incluso la hamburguesa es comprado en) así que este es claramente no es un entusiasta de la 'pub.Yo creo que necesita para decidir si están totalmente para las masas o intenta atraer a medida ofreciendo buena comida y creativa. Si este último, necesitan hacer mejoras porque la actual ofreciendo no es lo suficientemente bueno.

Absolutamente Fantástico el domingo en el Sloop. Uno de los mejores asados que he tenido. Me encantó la opción de venado y los pudines eran increíbles! Tuvimos nuestro bebé de 9 meses con nosotros y el personal no podría haber sido más servicial y atento de traernos un paraguas; así que nos podíamos sentar fuera, a mantener mi comida caliente mientras él alimentados por maridos nuestra hija.En respuesta a algunas de las críticas que yo agregaría había un montón de niños bien educados y perros en el jardín. Si tienes niños que necesiten entretenimiento más allá de los impresionantes paisajes y deliciosa comida puede que este no sea para ti, ya que no parecía existir aparatos jugar como visto en otros pubs. Estuvimos muy agradecidos por esto como los jardines eran increíblemente tranquilo. Domingo perfecto.Ah, y las cervezas de grifo delicioso! Especialmente los curiosos cerveza!

He estado en este hotel y bajar durante 20 años y después de un largo cerradas por reformas que tenía muchas ganas de visitar. Todavía sirve excelente Harveys amargo (hurra por) y la comida era muy agradable con las mejores patatas fritas nunca. 2 x miel jamón y huevos y 1 x ciabatta con garbanzos y falafel comidas fuimos muy bien. El personal era encantador y estaba lleno.. bueno para un jueves...principalmente mujeres haciendo el almuerzo (como nosotros). Nos ataron a un almuerzo de trabajo y horas explicado cuando reservamos y el servicio fue muy rápido. Era tranquilo y fresco en el interior y los jardines son preciosas. Ganas de volver pronto. Yo recomendaría la reserva para evitar la desilusión si quieres comer dentro. El menú ofrece una buena variedad de platos de pescado también

El Sloop está bajo nueva dirección y ha sido decorado a un estándar muy alto y tiene mucho ambiente. El personal era muy amable y el servicio era muy bueno.Que tiene una comida deliciosa, realmente disfrutamos de las vieiras y el bistec estaba perfectamente preparado.La tarta de chocolate y pistacho con helado de fruta de la pasión era para morirse! Mi hija tenía la cadera de cordero que estaba muy tierna y la tarta de queso también era delicioso. Hay una buena variedad de vinos y cervezas, regresaremos allí muy pronto!

Ahora hemos tenido tres comidas en este pub recientemente reformado, todas con buena comida y servicio con una sonrisa. Los nuevos propietarios han hecho un buen trabajo con el lugar en el llevando del siglo XXI, pero con respeto a la edad del edificio. El menú no es grande, pero como un establecimiento recientemente inaugurado estoy seguro que se siente su camino en la actualidad. Las carnes son excelentes, y la tarta de frambuesa (con una sorpresa en el medio) es imprescindible. En cuanto a los comentarios anteriores sobre los niños y los perros, había cinco perros bien educados dentro del pub el viernes por la noche, sin problemas.

El Sloop ha sido recientemente renovado y el interior tiene un ambiente limpio y relajado. Los propietarios y el personal era amable y servicial y el servicio era rápido. La cerveza estaba bien cuidado. La situación del pub es genial y está cerca de la estación de tren bluebell y un montón de paseos y ciclismo realmente excelente. Es muy rural, con un encantador jardín. Para mí, la comida como "muy aceptable comida de pub 'probablemente es mejor que la media, pero no la tarifaen general Carvery Roast" disfrutamos de nuestra visita y el Sloop es una base excelente para un día de paseo o de un paseo hasta el vapor de los trenes en el Bluebell, o simplemente una pinta en un entorno precioso.

Nosotros asiduos han esperado mucho tiempo para la Sloop para reabrir pero valió la pena. El pub parece precioso; sigue siendo el mismo pub pero limpio, muy bien decorado y renovado. Una nueva cocina es producir alimentos, especialmente pescado. fab El jardín parece una delicia.

Encontré este hotel mientras visitábamos la zona y constató que había sólo a reabrir sus puertas después de un largo de reformas. ¡Una joya! Interior muy cuidado, no recargado, perfecto, junto con 2 cervezas (Adnams East británica Anglian y Woodfordes) y uno local (Harveys) de barril.Nos decidimos por una simple comida de bar y optamos por bacalao y patatas fritas. Primero recibimos una placa complementaria de casa fresca hecha con pan de manteca panEl pescado no era el filete habituales, pero una gran "carne" en macizos una empanada deliciosa crujiente, servido con patatas fritas, salsa tartar de macizos, guisantes blandos y una ensalada. Tengo que decir que la guisantes blandos no eran los esperados" del norte, pero más variedad" de un puré con menta delicioso!Mi esposa terminamos con una tarta de chocolate y pistacho servido con helado de fruta de la pasión, todos caseros y, para mí, la tabla de quesos; todos los quesos locales servidos con galletas, pan hecho en casa, membrillo jalea y las uvas. Magnífico.El personal era atento y amable, pero no excesivamente intrusivo. Una noche de lo más agradable, gracias.

El Sloop ha sido abierto de nuevo por una semana. Yo fui un viernes por la noche para ver el menú y probar algunas cervezas. Como siempre, la ubicación es un lugar precioso y tranquilo junto a un canal rural antiguo en desuso (de ahí el nombre). Hay un gran jardín de cerveza y muchas plazas de aparcamiento en los dos aparcamientos. Internamente la distribución ha cambiado durante el cierre con un comedor grande y cocina nueva. Los propietarios son muy habladores y amable y había tres cervezas de barril" y "Sussex Harveys dos cervezas, también había una buena selección de cervezas continentales, vinos y licores. El menú parecía muy prometedor, pero no he tenido la oportunidad de probarlo todavía. Las cervezas eran excelentes. Bueno para volver Sloop!

Primera noche en el servicio, ya que el renovado Sloop abrió sus puertas. Que buen comienzo.Estuve con dos amigos, y estaba encantado de ver que la esperada apertura había sido la pena la espera. El lugar es mucho más brillante y mucho más abierto de lo que solía ser - evitando la sensación de claustrofobia casi solía haber allí. Después de bebidas de bienvenida en el bar que elegimos una mesa en la sección nueva - donde la cocina solía ser. Muebles de buena calidad y nos dio un nivel de vajilla de expectativas que no me decepcioné cuando la comida llegó. Nos instalamos en tres entradas diferentes, porque ninguno de nosotros podría decidir... así que compartimos los tres. Vieiras eran adorables, aunque, por el precio, que podrían haber sido un poco más grande. Queso de cabra Panna Cotta fue una buena porción de buen tamaño, pero el escabeche remolachas podrían haber sido un poco más generosamente aplicado. Espárragos, con chorizo y un huevo crujiente pato era un doble estrellas! Dos de nosotros optamos por el rib-eye Steak, que estaba perfectamente preparada para nuestro gusto (diferente), con un montón de ensaladas y patatas fritas excelentes. Nuestras otras diner tenía bacalao con ñoquis, que parecía delicioso - y ella confirmó que era. Tuvimos que probar el menú completo, así que el postre era hora de probar la prueba ácida de cualquier chef-creme brulée. Este era un color café brulée, y uno de los mejores que he tenido. La única pequeña queja fue el pan de jengibre que venía con él.. y en este caso era demasiado generoso - Si usted puede tener tal cosa. Una pieza hubiera sido suficiente, como un acompañamiento muy agradables para el flan. La tarta de frambuesa con su centro de sorpresa fue un gran éxito con todos nosotros.En general, aunque no he sido exigente en un par de cosas, para una primera noche la Sloop parece que será un fabuloso nuevo restaurante en la zona, que ha sido por desgracia no por un tiempo. Todo bien hecho en el Sloop!

Han sido local de aquí y un visitante regular durante 15 años. Nunca tuvimos mala comida o una mala experiencia. Es una antigua country pub. Siempre un buen lugar para empezar o terminar un buen paseo. Recomiendo una visita y si el sol es el relajarse en su jardín es siempre la pena ... Sin embargo, prepárate para la invasión de campistas Wowo cerca del camping, que normalmente vienen en grandes grupos con un montón de niños que hace posible extraer esa cantidad de energía (y ruido). Así que si quieres una tarde un poco tranquila elegir sus veces visitados!

Nos instalamos en la zona y nos fuimos a este pub dos veces con amigos que vinieron a visitarnos en la nueva ubicación y nos cobraron cada vez que tuve que corregir. Esto es en la parte de arriba de el caro precios de todos modos. El pub está en una buena ubicación en una caminata circular alrededor Scaynes Hill tan estupendo para tomar el perro. El pub está actualmente cerrado por reformas bajo nuevos propietarios que estoy esperando permitirá cosas a mejorar dramáticamente.

Este es nuestro representante y Weber nunca tuvimos una mala comida. No es un pub gastrointestinal por cualquier medio - no tiene ningún con falsos argumentos. Se trata de un pub simple del país con personal amable y acogedor y la comida es estupenda. En el invierno la estufa a leña se agrega a la cálida bienvenida.Ten cuidado o ser feliz sobre la falta de cualquier señal :)

10 of us went to this pub for lunch whle staying at wowo camp site. What a lovely location and despite being pricey we were delighted when our food turned up. Some of our party arrived slightly after us and they ordered seperately, by this time the pub was busy and they had to wait an hour!Anyway we all enjoyed our food, 3 of us had mackrel salad. Very soon after, the 3 who had this salad became flushed and short of breath and developed headaches (me, my pregnant g/f and a mother of 2). Shortly after this we were very ill and all had to find a local loo! This went on all afternoon. After I contacted the pub the duty manager was apologetic and said he would get the owner to call me to discuss matters further. The owner called me and basically fobbed me off saying norovirus takes 24 hours to kick in (not sure what this has to do with food poising though?). Anyway I looked on google and found scromboid poising which you get from spoiled fish. This is exactly what we had and fit with the time scales of the 'event'. Anyway, the owner was very abrupt and wouldn't admit they were at fault or offer a refund so we are reporting them to the food standards agency and taking things further. In short - avoid! Please look at my other reviews as I am a fair trip advisor contributor.

I took a group of 24 (adults and children) to the Sloop during a camping trip to Wowo. We pre ordered our food for ease. On arrival a couple of us had changed our minds but the pub was happy to accommodate this. The food arrived in good time and the portions were spot on for both kids and adults. The meals were really tasty and everyone was happy with their choice. The staff where friendly and attentive and asked us just after we had started eating if everything was okay with the meal. The pub has a lovely garden which is ideal for a summer punk lunch. Highly recommended.

A warm and friendly atmosphere in a busy country pub.The food that my wife and I had the Sunday Roast Beef was plentiful and tender, veg cooked to perfection and plenty of it. The staff were very attentive.Our experience was a very good one and I feel happy to recommend a visit, we will certainly be back and will try the steak night.Well done the Sloop

Visited here yesterday for drink whilst we were out walking wit friends. We live locally and have visited The Sloop over a number of years. It has always been a bit up and down but yesterday it hit an all time low in terms of customer service. I ordered half a pint of cider - sadly it tasted like vinegar - the rest of my party tried it and agreed so we took it back only to be told that it was my issue if I didn't like it. When I then spoke to a man who I think said he was the manager he did agree to give me an alternative drink and said that I shouldn't have been told to pay for a replacement. Not sure which one of the smirking teenagers behind him had told my friend that she had to pay for a replacement but they need to have some customer service training and fast! The 'manager' was not apologetic and then tried the cider and said it was fine he appeared to want the last word.We won't be back in a rush.

I went for lunch with some work colleagues and sat outside in the sunshine. Everyone who hadn't been before commented on the lovely gardens. Half of us had the baguettes - £8 was a bit pricey but two of us shared one between us which still gave us enough food each for £4. The prawn salads were heaped full of prawns and were favourably commented on. You have to fetch your own cutlery which is a bit annoying however the staff were pleasant and made for a relaxed meal. We all agreed that it was just what a traditional pub should be and how quiet the setting was just as a tractor roared by.....i have been before quite a few times and it doesn't disappoint so it was nice to come back and see that the standard has continued to improve over the recent years.

The sloop has good periods and bad periods. The food is never terrible, at worst its just very overpriced so-so pub grub. At it's best, you'll struggle to find better.This time last year it was nothing short of fabulous, with roasts to die for. Some time over the autumn or winter the management changed again and its now back to 'at worst'. Mass produced, zapped, cheap cuts, most-punters-only-come-here-once-anyway. Well, good luck with that. It won't be the first time the place will be like a graveyard either side of Sunday lunchtime, and suddenly there's no need to book.

£14 for a ploughmans, 5 slivers of cheese, 3 silverskin pickled onions, 4 mini gherkins, a bit of onion marmalade, small salad comprising a quarter of tomato, a half a slice of cucumber, a few leaves and a hot roll. Value for money=total rip off.

6 of us visited here and the setting is great, but the food is just embarrassing. Small portions, so over priced, unloved and bland.I had a tiny Thai chicken curry (with a poppadom?) with a few sad little vegetables for £13. Other delights included a cheese ploughmans with the smallest salad and nondescript cheese.It's a really sad state of affairs in 2014 that this menu exists.Time to find a chef that loves to cook, can taste and present great pub grub.It's not that difficult.Really regret coming here and I'd avoid it unless stopping for a drink.

We went to the Sloop on Friday 28th June. The food portions were tiny! £13.00 for bang bang chicken, which was 3 tiny pieces of chicken and a small portion of rice!! They also charge £7.00 for a kids chicken nuggets and chips, 4 nuggets and 10 chips. Complete rip off and the staff couldn't care less when we complained. They also charged £6.00 for service and as we had pre-ordered all they did was bring it into the garden. Would never go back. Crap service, crap food and crap staff!!!

Went into this pub just for a drink just as well - it was half two and a couple came in and wanted to order food the girl behind the bar openly said they have finished serving because the chef has had enough and closed!! Really! Also one of the toilets in the ladies were blocked and someone informed the staff about this and both turned round and said I'm not doing that it can stay like it!! Really!! Which it did.Also one of the waitresses was dressed like god knows what with her backside hanging out (do folk really want to be put off - quite a few were) - she was not evan attractive. Cigarette ends everywhere obviously from the night before - the toilets were filthy. I think the manager really needs to do something.

The Sloop Inn is a brilliant pub, with a lovely garden for the summer. They serve great food, backed up by a great selection of beers (and cider) and wine and other drinks. It has a sunny garden with lots of tables. Maybe book early if there at a summer weekend. A few more energetic bar staff on sunny Saturdays would help (but that's probably true of most pubs), but the waiting and kitchen teams were brilliant. Great pub, we will definitely go back again.A short walk from Kitts Camp site if you want a really great family / friends weekend

Amazingly bad experience. I asked for a lager shandy, thought it probably had too much lemonade in it, tasted it and told the barman. I expected him to either make a new one or pour out some and add lager - a rustic approach, but I could cope. He grudgingly topped it up and then told me I should have said before I drank some / tasted it because I was getting free beer !!! Astonishingly rude, What a cretin. We were there with other adults andchildren and I had already paid for the drinks. I putg down a few coins for the "extra" free beer I had somehow cheated my way into and told him not to insult his guests. He told me to leave. I stayed,. The food arrived, my friend's ham was glaxed with that days old look and clearly not a good idea to eat. Over priced, appalling service, stupid barman and bad food.If the owner reads this, he shoudl shoot himself.

Followed many signs from Sheffield Park to this pub at lunchtime today, to be told they couldn't serve us food as they had a big party arriving shortly.

Now it is a Free House it has a good rotation of beers. Public bar is has a friendly atmosphere. Nice beer garden and the sounds of the Bluebell railway

We visited recently on the 1st May Bank Holiday 2014 Sunday and walked from a local camping park. Arrived at 12noon and was surprised to see that even though it was very full,there was not enough staff to cope.It took 25-30 mins to get a drink from the bar and I was lucky that I did not buy any food as I know that not only did it take 30mins to order food, people were still waiting when we left 2hrs later. The staff were genuinely surprised that it would be busy on a Bank Holiday Weekend. At one point a local gave up waiting and went round the bar and served himself and other locals promising to settle up later. I would have hard more sympathy but the staff really did not seem to care. My advice is don't go on any day on a Bank Holiday weekend and if you do buy 3 drinks for everyone in the round and bring a packed lunch. Or you could find somewhere else to spend your money.

Loved the venue, the beer garden, the beer selection. Polite staff. Sunday menu was limited and a bit over priced. Would love to have seen some fancy sandwiches+.

Mackerel salad was two peices of mackerel on some cold potatoes, green beans and olives, that tasted like they'd come from tescos. It cost 14 pounds. It was possibly the most overpriced awful meal i've eaten.The homous starter was of similar quality, tiny, and cost 5 pounds.

Had lunch here and had the goats cheese salad. The goats cheese was under 1cm thick, burnt and tasteless. There was no 'sprinkled with walnuts' or 'toasted sesame seeds' although when I pointed this out the waitress was very quick to apologise and return with them. The bowl was full of what looked like a whole bag of supermarket salad leaves and not much else. For £11 this was a very overpriced 'light lunch'.

Got to enjoy this incredibly authentic pub because of a birthday party which was held here. The power was out for 3.5 hours and everything was done to ensure the evening still went off, and went off it did. Great ales. Great curry - especially for the party. Awesome evening.

I literally love this pub. 100% recommend it if you want a quiet pint away from all the BS hassle of life. It's literally out in the sussex countryside so even if your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or husband wants to speak to you theirs no signal!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are a family man or women it's totally child friendly and there is a great garden for your little ones to play about in! The food taste like it should be in a fine dinning restaurant up in the big capital, I don't know how the chef isn't on 'the taste' or 'master chef'! Basically go to this pub and you'll have a fine evening. Oh i forgot to mention the drink selection is brilliant, Local ales to fine wines the sloop has you covered. Such good value for money 5*

The setting is lovely, the food is great as are the selection of beers and the garden is tranquil but.....there is a definate scent in the air and the continual convoy of tanker trucks making their way to the opposite sewage plant is the reason....its a real shame as this smell stopped us from eating in the garden as sewage isnt top of my scents accompanying meals.

We just wanted a light lunch on a warm autumn day. The manager Ashleigh (?) was so very welcoming and encouraged mix and match from different menus. Great beer and good wine, excellent value and tasty food. Not aware of the camping referred to elsewhere but easy parking, nice old fashioned garden, delightful service and altogether a lovely pit stop. Highly recommend.

As others have pointed out this pub is run by the owner of the Kitts campsite. The pub is a 6 or 7 minute walk from the camp site so it is very convenient. The food was ok and quite tastey but we found that the adult portion of curry was very small for an adult portion and as such it was overpriced. The kids portion was a good size but was £7 with no drink or pudding.There was no lighting at all in the garden until we went and asked form them to put one on. This could have been quite dangerous as the garden is a bit ofa mess.The staff were very friendly and helpful. They managed a number of dissatisfied customers very politely. It feels to me as though the campsite owner is cashing in on his campers.It was ok but disappointing.

We went in the summer while camping but I have only just remembered to write the review! Lovely setting and garden but the food was abysmal. It was 7 pounds for the children's food which did not include a drink or ice cream. When it arrived it was a small bowl of pasta covered in cream with a few chives sprinkled on top of it- what an amazing mark-up. The ploughman's was 12 pounds for 3 bits of cheese, a bit of lettuce and one slice of stale baguette. When we politely pointed out that the bread was completely stale it was removed with lots of bad grace. The same bit of bread then reappeared from the kitchen having been toasted for a few seconds and was replaced with no apology. It was still stale and inedible.I understand that there is a captive market of non-returning visitors with two campsites nearby, and once people have walked all the way from Wowo's with hungry children they have nowhere else to go, but did we have to be ripped off to quite such an extent? It was supposed to be a nice treat but was really ruined by greedy pricing.

I found everything about The Sloop and Kitts Campsite to be fantastic. James who runs both is a great character and I'm surprised to see any negative reviews about either place because they're both exactly what you would want and expect from a country pub (great food) and campsite (log fires and lovely clean loos). The food in the pub and cost of the campsite are not the cheapest but my reasoning is that this is because of the quality of food and the facilities at the campsite. But why take my word for it because all reviews are mindless - just go and enjoy yourself.

Visited here one Tuesday evening. Had a drink in the garden which was fairly quiet (good choice of ale) and then came indoors to eat. The steak was fabulous- after chatting to the very nice manager, he told us it comes from a farm just up the road. Extremely tasty & cooked to perfection, lovely hand cut chips came with it, and a really tasty butter on top. The price is pretty expensive (I think it was around £17 each for the steak) but for an occasional treat I don't mind paying it. The pub was pretty much empty (we which quite enjoy when we go out!) but we found the manager and the young barmaid/waitress to be very pleasant and helpful. Can't comment on the loos or the rest of the menu as we didn't experience either of these - it's a shame to read some negative reviews of The Sloop lately as it's certainly not how we found it to be.

What a terrible experience and even worse landlord, who was nothing short of arrogant and very rude to customers. Walked to pub as a recommendation only to find there was no food service unless you booked, even though we were there at 12 and no-one was in the pub!!! Went with 4 young kids and found not child - friendly..... Don't bother going

Camping at Kitts over the weekend, and popped into the Sloop for lunch on the Saturday. 3 dads and 4 very tired children. The children all had Scampi and Chips (off the kids menu), the dads went for the Duck, Chicken and Gnocchi. I was not expecting a grea deal after reading the reviews on here, but the food and service was fine. We arrived at noon and were served our meals very quickly, it did start to get very busy with camping folk around 1.00PM. Great fun watching the visitors from London in their pristine Hunters, Barbour jackets and petulant children failing miserably to muscle in on the tables! According to our waiter, a new chef arrived 3 months ago, and has geared the place up around supporting the local campsite traffic. Overall, pleasantly surprised.

This is my 4th visit and I took along friends as we were all staying nearby. There were 6 adults and 8 children, 4 of whom also ate off the adult menu.Since our last visit, the owner has clearly made changes which sadly do not reflect the needs or wants of it's target audience, but even if it did, the food did not live up to the expectations of the descriptive, expensive and yet very limited menu. As it was so limited we expected it to at least be very good. But no.To give an idea of price - mushroom gnocchi £12, cheese plougmans £12. At a PUB whose main audience on the weekends is from local campsites..Really?The garden was awash with children, yet the menu only has 3 choices at £6 each of chicken nuggets & chips, scampi & chips or creamy pasta. Not great for vegetarian children and if masquerading as a gastro-pub on the adult menu why such unimaginative food at top end prices?My main was beef (grey chewy strips) with chorizo and potatoes swimming in an oily substance. My 2 friends chose cheese ploughmans with just cheddar (not the selection of blue cheeses it came with). When the ploughmans arrived it had blue cheese - it was pointed out to the waitress that this was not correct and she simply lifted the blue cheese off the plate with her hand there and then as if problem solved! They also ordered 4 portions of chips at £3.60 each - these arrived all in one bowl, around the size of a medium pasta bowl (for £15 quid). When we asked to divide the portions into 4 this showed the sizes to be around 8 chips per bowl. At £3.60 each...Again we pointed this out and were told that the reason from the chef was that they were busy. Our friend heard the chef tell the waitress to effective tell us to shut up, this is how it is.What with a hair in another meal and very overcooked chicken in another, it was a truly awful experience. Their card machine for payment also asks for service charge in advance, while you are ordering at the bar yourself. Ludicrous! Our total bill was over £200. The lovely manager tried his very best to appease us, but the owner was nowhere to be seen and clearly does not give his staff either the skills or power to truly serve (including compensation/refund) it's customers in his absence. I will not be returning and will certainly be advising the many friends who regularly used to visit this pub that the changes frankly seem purely profiteering. I can see from other recent reviews that I am not alone. I hope the owner takes note and makes the necessary changes or I fear will be another statistic of restaurants going down the pan.

We finally found this pub and were very glad we had. We sat at a nice table with plenty of room. The woman serving us was very friendly and we had a nice chat with her. The service was good and the food great. I had gnocchi with wild mushrooms and chicken - delicious - followed by one of the best crème brulée I have ever had. The Sussex cider I had was also a treat. The people I was with were also very happy with everything. Highly recommended. We will visit again.

We were camping down the road and wanted one night at a pub so chose The Sloop Inn as it was recommended and the nearest. However, like others, we were informed they had ran out of food. Not great considering we walked all the way in the rain. Had to get a cab to The Green Man which was much better!!

we arrived at this pub at 13.40 on a sunday after walking from the Bluebell Railway @ Sheffield Park. We ordered some beers & a menu which were supplied.after looking at the 'restricted' menu we asked if they did any 'lighter' food ie ploughmans/sandwiches etc and were then informed that 'there is NO food 'as they had run out !!!!then we asked why we were given a menue-& the excuse was 'we only have 1 chef.food is advertised as 12.00-2.30 but to 'run out' is a very poor excuse,& there were a lot of people being disappointed..ok if they are the lazy ,get in car'go to pub-no food drive somewhere else type but for walkers it was very poor.......

One has to admire the enterprise and skill of a landlord who can run a successful pub in a location that is a couple of miles from any sizeable village. If it wasn't for him this place would very probably have closed like many rural pubs, and the mere fact that it is still there is something for which we, as walkers, are duly grateful. But the means to this worthy end are a mixed bag. Here's how it seems to be done:-Be a free house so that you can offer a range of draught beers - but not too big a range..Offer a sensibly short food menu with generous helpings of pub favourites at slightly higher than average prices, and make sure that you don't spend too much on the ingredients.Run a campsite a few minutes walk away through the woods to provide captive customers.Put a tent in the garden to attract families, but keep undisciplined children out of the bar.Use as few bar staff as possible - preferably young and presentable, but untrained, so cheap - then be around yourself to sort out their mistakes when they get tired and harassed..Make sure that your few local regulars get good service. Be friendly to casual customers, but remember that as most of them won't come back you don't need to bother too much.

Lovely walk from WoWo campsite through the woods. Got a great table outside (we had dogs and children with us) and sheltered out the rain in their big tent. The kids enjoyed the garden, the food was average (apart from the wait which was excessive but they were busy-ish or so they said).What let this down was the loos, specifically the ladies. One was blocked and the other may as well have been. Also, the stench or the sewage tank outside the pub was horrible. I think some maintenance is necessary!

I went there to meet a girlfriend and to eat. I waited at the bar (I am female, presentable but 50ish) and watched the barmaid unload a dishwasher and totally ignore me even though I was the only person waiting to be served. She then filled another tray with glasses and again totally ignored me. Eventually a young man came to serve me, when I asked about ordering food - it was 7.30 - I was told they weren't serving any that evening (a Saturday) as they'd been so busy during the day.I left - never to return!

Seems that yesterday, they decided to abandon the menu for a barbecue. The menu was ill thought, the food was poor value but worst of all none of the staff running the barbecue had any idea how to cope with putting a sausage or a burger in a bun and charging a fiver for it. Vegetarians were extremely disappointed. A member of staff offered mackerel as a veggie option!!They ended up having processed cheese in a bun.

We drove a long way to meet friends here for lunch; it's OK. Nice garden, very few diners so no queues; food was 'ok'. Had a walk and went back for 'tea'. The individual teapots hold exactly one cup of water so why bother with the teapot?Very popular with summer campers; lots of sites around, and walkers too.
