Went for Sunday lunch with friends before we move back to NZ. Excellent service and food. Would definitely be back if we were staying.

Had a great evening in this lovely community pub - delicious food which was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Liver and mash is highly recommended if you like offal! Great selection of wines on offer. Room was fresh and comfy with glorious views. Well worth a visit when you’re in the area walking, bird watching or just fancy a pub meal. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Jo for making our stay so relaxing.

Stayed overnight to sample the sportsman inn beer fest. Room exceptionally clean and tidy compact and wonderful views. The inn has a really friendly atmosphere with locals giving visitors a friendly welcome, has the feel of a proper village inn, plenty of space to sit and eat in or outside with views i think you would struggle to better. I chose to eat a liver and bacon dish that was very pleasant no fuss great food. What more to want, friendly people, good food, great ales, and breathtaking views.

We turned up at 6.15 on Monday on the off chance of food. Unfortunately the chef wasn't on duty but the manager, Jo, cooked up especially for us, fish & chips to perfection. Nothing too much trouble. Great to see such brilliant work ethic. We're here on holiday, but had we been residents would use it as our local. Well done

A great overnight stay for walkers off the South Downs Way. A community pub with an incredible view of Amberley’s own savannah! Friendly, thoughtful service, comfortable rooms with good showers &, though just a continental breakfast, an invitation to take some with you for your walk.

Fantastic friendly pub, we couldn’t stay as the rooms weren’t ready when we booked our walk on the South Downs but we visited for the first England euro 24 match. Great place really friendly locals . The beer garden with views of the marches with muntjac deer grazing in the evening is one of the best you will find in England Good selection of local beers and friendly customers and staff

What a gem! Stopped here for a night whilst walking the South Downs Way, and received a very warm friendly welcome. The room was simply furnished, comfortable, very clean, with thoughtful extras provided. The menu for the evening meal was small but perfect for the end of a long day, and the food was the best we'd had in the week so far. The atmosphere was warm and we loved the unexpected open mic live music. Altogether a great find and would thoroughly recommend for a stop-over. Well done guys!

I visited the Sportsman again this year and all I can say is what I’ve said before - amazingly tasty food, well prepared and served, friendly staff who make you feel welcome and valued. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and with good views. The weather wasn’t good enough to let us sit outside and watch the sun going down, but when the opportunity arises it is amazing. Well worth the trip as this little Gem of a pub will not disappoint

This pub is outstanding because of its views across Pulborough Brooks and deservedly so. On a summer’s evening this is the perfect place to chat with friends and watch the sun go down. The food is in the main of good quality. I can particularly recommend their home cooked pie of the day and some lovely puddings. Their burgers are not the best but perfectly acceptable. Prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and helpful and the beer is well kept. Parking is limited but there is plenty of room in the country lane. This pub is a definite one for the list in the summer.

We went with friends on a busy Saturday night. It was extremely noisy and regretably our table was right beside the kitchen door. As a consequence it was very difficult to chat unless you are an experienced lip reader! The service was very slow, probably as it was so busy, but we waited almost an hour before being fed. That said, once it arrived the food was fine, not exceptional but fine. The best dish seemed to be the fish and chips. Reasonably priced I would give it another try but probably only on a less busy evening!

We took this in as part of a walk from Arundel to Amberley and it was well worth the extra distance to walk out of the village. An unassuming pub from the the front, that hides stunning views over the Arun valley. Excellent local beer and the food wow! We had to wait about 30 minutes for freshly cooked steak pies, but it was well worth the wait. A true shortcrust pie stuffed with tender steak in a lovely rich sauce with baby onions. This was served with perfect mash and great selection of vegetables. Friendly service. Just what you want from a pub.

It has literally been years since I have been so impressed with food in a pub. I stayed here last week with 2 cycling friends doing The South Downs Way, and the quality of the steak meal we (all) had was incredible. Homemade sticky toffee pudding to die for and fantastic local cheeses. The ingredients are all very high quality, locally sourced and beautifully home cooked. The peppercorn sauce was out of the this world! Even the fry up had top quality smoked bacon, sausages & artisan bread/toast. This is a pub that makes a BIG effort. I loved this place so much I drove 22 miles to take my family there yesterday for Sunday Roast, and we all enjoyed a truly 10/10 meal again. Sophie and her team are very charming, incredibly hospitable & lovely humour too. It is WELL worth the additional short drive outside of Amberley village to enjoy this gem - we will be back again!!

The staff were really welcoming and accommodating, the rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable with a nice powerful shower, the dinner was excellent - food really is first class - and the breakfast was absolutely stand out. Add into this a garage to lock up your bikes and some excellently kept local ales and it's a winning formula - can't wait to return!

Gosh I wish we had pubs like this back home (Isle of Man). Quintessentially gorgeous English country tavern with views to die for. It was a family reunion dinner, and we were able to sit in the conservatory and admire the landscape. Table settings, service, food, prices - everything was excellent. The only thing stopping me for giving 5 stars was our request for a bottle of house wine. The young lady waiting on our table replied, "We don't actually have a house wine. But if it's the cheapest you're looking for …" Er, not quite the thing to say to paying guests!

I cannot begin to tell you how poor our turkey christmas meal was today. The meal was luke warm. Turkey had no flavour; roast potatoes had been previously cooked and not reheated properly; vegetables were nothing to shout home about and service was very laid back to say the least. What was meant to be a most enjoyable family meal quite honestly was a huge disappointment. I would not return to this site again even if someone paid me.

Driven passed this pub at least 30 times on way to Gatwick over the years but never stopped. Visited on Thursday 26th September at 1:30pm. Reasonable sized car park with lots of spaces. Pub has oak beams which gives it a real traditional vibe. Didn’t book a table but was able to be seated straight away. Good choice on the menu. We had ciabatta baguettes (one halumi one sausage/onion) washed down with a Prosecco and a beer. Service good and baguettes only £9 each. View out the back of the pub over the South Downs is stunning! Worth knowing that last food orders are 2pm for lunch. Would definitely return.

Free entry to explore the marvellous gardens at Leonardslee when booking the Ultimate experience. A thorough wine tasting, brilliantly conducted by 'Simba', a true credit to his profession as a sommelier. Fabulous wines and that Sabre moment when the cork is 'popped', my friend did this with such distinction. An excellent, delicious Afternoon Tea followed, nothing waste much of a problem, photo opportunity, carrot cake a welcome extra but 'Simba' created the icing on the cake. Fantastic experience.

Every time I order the quality is always consistent. Particularly recommend the cookie doughs. Why go to a sloppy chain when you can support a fantastic independent!

Incredible menu of unusual combinations - hard to choose. Our food was delicious. Portions were enormous. Excellent service.
