The Spotted Cow in Arun - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The service and food were excellent. Knowledgeable staff and very friendly. The steak pie was truly delicious. The chicken dish was first class also We will return here. Real ales and wine. All things not expensive We loved it !!

Delicious food and drink. Very good value for money. Superb atmosphere with live singer who was brilliant. Finished with songs from Elvis and smashed it.

Visited in the evening and received a lovely warm welcome, despite how busy it was. My friend and I both had scampi and chips which was delicious and we even found room for a few scoops of ice cream and sorbet which was equally divine! The landlady was so nice and friendly and we even got a free scoop of unicorn ice cream which was scrummy! Both of us love cows which was the reason for choosing this pub and it was so nice to see the place adorned with cow memorabilia and prints everywhere you look. My idea of heaven! Thank you so much for a lovely experience. Looking forward to visiting again.

Had a lovely visit to The Spotted Cow today. We had a table for nine, and being Sunday, we all had a roast. We all thought the food was delicious, and perfect portion size. Our waitress, Issy, was a credit- very warm and friendly- but professional. Would highly recommend a visit.

We were here for dinner one night whilst staying nearby. The sunny pub garden was full of people but we chose to eat in the conservatory. The landlady was very cheery, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The landlord is the cook and a good one too. We had a nice meal and dessert. My companion had the steak and I had a breaded chicken dish. We especially liked the "coffee and cake" dessert. We were sorry that we were not in the area long enough to go again although we did go the next night to watch the morris dancers and their Austrian dancer friends.

The Spotted Cow was only a short walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying (once you've managed to get across the Roundstone Bypass!) so we thought we'd give it a try. A nice selection of beers, although a guest beer which was advertised which we wanted to try wasn't available. The Sussex Best and Landlord were both nice and reasonably priced too. The food menu was small but adequate. We had the steak and ale pie and the Sussex smokey - both very tasty, the pie was obviously home made and stuffed solid with meat, the smoked haddock was a bigger meal than it looked and I had to help my wife with some of it. Both meals were very nice, the lady who served us was pleasant and if we stay in Angmering again we'll definitely return.

Special occasion extremely well managed by efficient and friendly staff. Food excellent. All guests (13) very impressed with what proved to be a very enjoyable evening.Highly recommend

On a touring adventure we stumbled on this venue. Sunday Roast was awesome.. in our opinion best we’ve tasted in years. You can tell it’s home cooked. Plenty of everything, hot, good friendly service and a lovely sunny beer garden.. Would give more stars if app would permit

My family were using the conservatory to hold my mother’s wake and it was the ideal venue. We had a buffet meal which had excellent variety of. A big thank you to Sarah and her team.

I booked the Spotted Cow with Sarah and Justin for my mother's wake in the conservatory on Fri 12th April. Everyone who came was very complimentary on the presentation of the buffet and all of the food tasted lovely. the service by the staff was second to none. We were all made to feel very welcome and this was the perfect ending to a very difficult and sad day. Nothing was too trouble, Once again thank you for all your hard work, look forward to seeing you all soon, kindest regards - Penny & Gary

A Proper Pub! I visited in April 2024 for lunch and a few beers. The pub is a very traditional building with a comfy vibe. Traditional furniture with that time served partina that can not be faked. There's no TVs, no gaming machines and no music. A proper pub that has a relaxing atmosphere and encourages conversation. The landlady, Sam, is a bubbly character who is so welcoming that you soon feel like you've known her for ages. There's a good range of reasonably priced food should you choose to eat as well. I'll be back!

We parked our motorhome up in the carpark and stayed at The Spotted Cow overnight - we had the best time! The staff are all amazing - so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Because they don’t charge for overnight stopovers we also stayed for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious! We both said it was the best pub food we can remember having - and so reasonable too. We will definitely be coming to stay again! X

What a shame! This once delightful pub has gone downhill. Sunday lunch, but where is everybody? No ambience, "tired" surroundings, just a bit sad really. Still the destruction of the beautiful village of Angmering with housing developments at different stages all around should bring trade in the near future as will the Spring/Summer. As for the lunch, the beef was inedible and sent back, the chicken was dry and tasteless but the vegetables were fine. Service was excellent as you'd expect with so few patrons.

Rubbish. Sent me through to the other bar for food, sold me a pint, (not the one I wanted, that was off), only to be told that the kitchen was closed and the chef had gone home due to ‘nobody having been in tonight’. They only serve food from 6-9pm, this was at 7:30. Turned out they did me a favour. I went down to the Stone Room on The Square for a pizza instead. Fabulous.

We visited here on Sunday 10th December for a Sunday lunch . And we can honestly say it was one of the best roasts that we have water out. Well done. We will be returning

Have been using the spotted cow for sometime now, never fails to disappoint be it food or drink. All staff are very friendly and sociable, many real ales to choose from. All in all, it is a fantastic country pub not to be missed.

My wife and i went up the Spotted Cow on Friday lunchtime original just for a quick drink but after looking at the Christmas menu we both decided to have the Christmas dinner. It was absolutely fantastic, everything was cooked to perfection and was piping hot, the the landlady and her daughter made us feel very welcome it was also excellent value for money, we will be coming back for another dinner before Christmas day, hopefully there will be a table available. Thankyou

The Xmas pie was quality, can’t say enough about this true pub and amazing food. Table of 6 with family for pre Xmas lunch. Justin Sarah and team are first class. If only I lived nearby would be eating every weekend. Thanks again for great family get together 11 out of 10

After previously having had a very good meal at the Spotted cow we hired the large function room for my dad's 80th birthday meal for a large family group. The food was very good and the staff were very helpful and attentive, and the manager, Sarah was a pleasure to deal with. Heartfelt thanks for making my dad's 80th birthday so memorable.

Wonderful roast at a lovely pub. Was very busy but excellent and friendly service. Great place to take our dog.

Lovely friendly country pub. Fabulous food. I loved my Mushroom and Dolcelatte Risotto with Rocket! (Thanks David)and my husband said it was one of the best steak and ale pies he’d eaten! Great atmosphere as well, in the lovely restaurant. We will definetely be back when we’re next that way! Heidi and Rob

Fab country pub. Food delicious…. A mix of burgers (chicken and beef) and a mixed grill. Service brilliant. Highly recommend

Good Service staff, aggressive towards people including my self where the order was. At placing order there was No indication of orders will be delayed due to large party booking. Upon receiving my order food was ok. Not worth £20 paid. Go here for drinks but food very disappointing. Will not eat here again.

Dropped in with my wife for lunch as it will be closest pub to properties we are looking at to buy in Angmering. We were met by two very polite young ladies and shown to a table for two. All good so far. My wife ordered the Sussex Smokey and I decided on the Fish Fillet 1/4lb burger with fries. At no time were we informed that there would be a wait of over an hour for the food to arrive. After 20 minutes or so it became clear there was a large party in another area that were clearly priority customers. Anyhow we were not in a rush so patiently waited for the food to arrive. When the food eventually arrived it was well presented and looked appetising. after around a minute of the food arriving the young lady who served us asked if all was OK? To be honest I said yes but at that point I had only consumed a few of the fries and my wife was happy with her Sussex Smokey. It was only a few minutes later when I started to consume the Fish burger that I realised the fish was very undercooked. The centre was cold and impossible to bite through. I left it to the side of the plate and finished off the fries, which were very good. I was hoping the waitress would ask again how things were but unfortunately she was so busy dealing with other customers - not her fault. I didn't want to kick up a fuss as the waitresses were clearly not to blame and were so very busy. I waited until my wife had finished her meal and the waitress came to clear away the plates before I spoke quietly to her explaining it was inedible and why. It was left on the plate clearly showing it was almost raw. She was very apologetic and said how sorry she was. She then asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. We replied no thank you and can we have the bill. I'm sorry to say that when the bill arrived there was no discount for my mostly inedible meal. I'm guessing my complaint didn't make it to the management and through inexperienced staff it is assumed just a sorry will do. In hindsight we should have been more forceful in asking for a discount but the young ladies were so busy we didn't want to upset them. The fault clearly lies with the management who should be training their staff on how to deal with these kind of complaints. On a positive note my wife really enjoyed the Sussex Smokey!

Average pub but with above average prices. The beer is expensive and the food on the pricey side. The meals served were so so - hot fish but lukewarm chips for example. Won't visit again

What a fantastic find. We found this pub hilts staying in Worthing/ Littlehampton for the weekend. The service was brilliant and the food hit the spot perfectly. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. I would particularly recommend the ‘Smokey’ on the menu

Great pub went for Sunday lunch with our Labrador . Food was great and even sausages for the dog. Wish this was my local I’d go in every week . Thanks for a lovely visit

So what to do on a March afternoon when the weather is a little unsettled? A little walk around the village and lunch in one of the local public houses- this was a wonderful discovery! A busy little restaurant on a Wednesday lunchtime. We settled...

I cannot believe my wife's bill was £67 for what i can only describe as 'School Dinners'! Also I was not surprised that for a Saturday night the pub restaurant was quite empty unlike when I last visited some 5/6 years ago. Needless to say...

Back again having amazing early Mother’s Day lunch. Choice of Menu great and really pleased to see the same chef and fabulous staff. I live in Surrey however, always eat at the spotted cow when visiting my Mum. In my opinion best food and REAL...

Great food. Great service. Smaller meals available. Lovely village. Fabulous to meet friends there..

Unenjoyable ! Worst roast for ages reheated vegetables, anemic roast potatoes, nut roast was unedible did say to waitress that I didn't enjoy it , no interest in why ! Walked off will avoid in the future !

This is a lovely little pub proper old school vibes…try the Harveys bitter it’s amazing. Definitely the best place to go out in Angmering

Buffet for after christening. Arrived to a lovely arrangement of sandwiches quiché, spring rolls sausages, home made sausage roll, with very delicious small pastries mini éclairs, brownies, lemon tart. Unknown to the group there was a vegan and the manager Justin had his wonderful chef...

Lovely roast lunch, a very good cheeseboard with a Sussex Charmer Cheddar which was exceptional. Great service and a very nice Central Valley Merlot. Couldn't be better - see you again soon!

I bought their take away fish and chips after seeing it being advertised on a board near the pub and decided to give them a go. Wow! Service was very quick, very reasonably priced and best of all, they were superb. The better was so...

We booked Sunday lunchtime to celebrate a birthday and everyone has a roast and it was delicious. Very generous portions and staff were lovely. There is also a little play area for smaller children. My son has asked to return every day since for another...

Saturday lunch with friends which we'd describe as mediocre. One member of the waiting staff was great the other did not know what meals they were delivering. We waited 50 mins from ordering for food to arrive. Glasses dirty, meals average and coffee had a...

What a great traditional little country pub staff were excellent cider was lovely and no bad tastes left in mouth. Only down fall which is why it didn’t get 5 stars is because I food is served between 6-9 Wednesday to Saturday I arrived at...

We walked to this lovely country pub on Sunday from nearby Eccelsden Farm campsite. The staff where welcoming, friendly and professional. We tried the Big Daddy Roast which had half a chicken, beef and gammon plus two yorkshire and all the trimmings. We also had...

Went early on a Saturday evening and ate out in the garden. I had fish, chips and peas. The fish was a good size, succulent and the batter crispy with a very good portion of fries. No complaints from me! My husband had the rump...

What a joy. A pub, a garden and pub food at its best, a well thought out menu, keeping the classics and adding a variety of other meals. Beautifully cooked, and generous portions. What a gem of place. So if you’re fed up with bistro...

We enjoyed an afternoon of trying various ciders in the rose smelling beer garden in the sun. Later we came back for dinner which was lovely too. Covid made visiting hard as we are not locals but we are looking forward to another visit soon.

After reading excellent reviews we were looking forward to our Saturday night meal at the Spotted Cow. Lovely helpful serving staff showed us to a very nice bright room. It did seem rather busy with minimal staff rushing back and forth. Had our order for...

Sarah and Justin were amazing, I popped into the Spotted Cow on the off chance to find out if they could cater for my 50th birthday bash. Thankfully they had space especially at such short notice. The buffet was fantastic, everyone commented on how good...

4 adults & 3 children had a very tasty brilliant meal. Staff were very friendly & made you feel at ease straight away. We will definitely go back for drinks & other meals with family, friends or on our own. WELL DONE & THANK YOU...

Fantastic food and service on a busy Good Friday evening. We were a group of 21 celebrating together on the eve of our daughter's wedding. I dealt with Sarah in the run up and pre-ordered the food, which was excellent, it was all served together,...

Googled pubs near where we were staying in Littlehampton. And thought this one looked nice. Really pleased we came for lunch. Made to feel welcome, great service and lovely food.

Amazing food Amazing service. Just a fabulous chef wonderful food thank you for a lovely early Mother’s Day lunch.

My husband and I had a meal on Sunday the food was excellent and the gammon roast was absolutely delicious. Brilliant service and conservatory looks really good with its recent makeover.

Really good British pub with loads of character and a great selection of beers and wines. Justin & Sarah have transformed the conservatory restaurant and Wayne the Chef is producing really good classic pub food.

Having not eaten there for a while, due to covid we visited with friends. The restaurant has had a great refit. New very comfortable chairs, tables, carpet and decorations, it looks really good. Service was excellent, friendly and professional and the food, good honest pub...

Building and outside areas where all very tired. The food was overpriced as quality not up to the standards of other locals. We where told it was dog friendly but was told to sit in the corner away from everyone else so not exactly dog...

We have had several meals at the Spotted Cow over the last few years (probably since it was jointly owned with the Fox at Patching). Our last visit was for Sunday lunch in the Autumn last year with some friends – the lunch was very...

We visited the restaurant this evening on the recommendation of my girlfriend's family who have experienced good meals there in the past. Sadly, this was not one of them. Our main meals had chips that were predominantly cold, and the member of our group that...

I was so impressed with the Sunday lunch served at this charming pub. Would highly recommend to all my friends and we will return.

Lovely pub, great staff and the food was tremendous. The pork chop was exceptional. Hats off to the chef and management and staff.

Good portions and very tasty. 2 or 3 course menu is very good value. Included coffee & mince pies. Service very friendly.

I came for a Christmas lunch yesterday with thirteen friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. There were several choices for each course of the set menu. All were delicious, from Roast Turkey and all the trimmings to the Vegetable Wellington and Bailey’s Bread and...

If you read 'could be so much more' written 4 days ago I agree with every word. Sadly I don't think we shall be back which is a great pity.

Staff very friendly but unfortunately the food was just standard. Cooked okay but don't expect the taste buds to be tantalised. The menu was incredibly basic pub grub, nothing inspiring or exciting on it at all and the restaurant had no atmosphere whatsoever. Not sure...

Firstly the pub is in a very pretty location. The table we booked was not the one I had reserved as elderly lady needed comfy chairs !!! The menu was very limited only 1 / 2 options for non meat eating humans . The meal...

We booked in because it's dog friendly. When I saw what it looked like I almost walked away. We decided to press on, and I'm glad we did. The menu was limited but when the food came we all enjoyed it. The place does need...

The service was good and the food was excellent but they were limited with food because it had been busy. They only had roast dinner Sunday.

Great pub, lively Friday night atmosphere. We had dinner in the conservatory, a delicious steak and tasty scampi. Sarah & Justin are terrific hosts. We will stop by again.

Unassuming to look at, you get the impression you are walking into a drinking pub that does food. There’s a range of bitters and top of the list and my favourite Timmy Taylor. Looked good, smelt fine and as the first sip hit the taste...

After looking for somewhere new to go to eat we decided to visit here , we couldn't have been more delighted , a good choice of meals which were plentiful and cooked to perfection . There is a nice large garden with a small play...

First time eating here in years, we all had roast dinner, generous portions, beautifully cooked, friendly staff, nice garden relaxed atmosphere. Best meal out in a long time, will definitely return.

Our first time visit and last! On arrival we were sat on a table where staff members were eating their lunch in front of us on the next table, not something you'd expect to see, it felt more like a staffroom than a place where...

Live local ,but not visited the pub for over two years, due to poor experience.Now under new management,we were pleasantly surprised how good it now is! We had a lovely lunch,sat in the garden.Friendly staff,good food and reasonably priced.We will return!

I am a "Regular", and real ale drinker, at The Spotted Cow. Unusual in these post Lockdown times that a pub in West Sussex has 6 real ales on pumps. Three standards (DoomBar, Harveys and TT Landlord) and three rotating ales. Last night they were...

We stopped for drinks and service was exceptional and so good we walked back early evening.If it wasn't for the fact that we were booked in down the road we would have stayed to eat. Thank you

A friendly welcome to the garden in a quiet beautiful country setting. The food was absolutely excellent. Very well presented, very good portions! I recommend The Spotted Cow Burger.. Almost too big to eat, but so tasty it was too delicious to leave any on the plate. Also recommend The Cheese Ploughmans, possibly the best I have ever seen, fantastic selection of cheeses with wonderful tasty bread. The staff are so lovely and attentive. Will definitely return to try their Sunday Roast.

Awful, just awful! What should be a wonderful country pub on the edge of a village, is actually a poorly decorated cheaply furnished pub with a menu that will inspire you to find somewhere, anywhere else to eat. Basic food cooked badly, also bad service to top it off. Won’t return even though it’s my local.

Meal booked for my dads 70th and sons 16th.Whole restaurant was empty but still separated 8 of us to 2 tables (only 2 families) Sussex Smokey was so rich and drowned in whole grain mustard we left most of it.Chicken burger was fatty and inedible, cheesy chips ordered where forgotten. Young waitress was miserable and very unfriendly. On the upside the couple (managers/owners) where friendly and helpful, but a really disappointing evening.

Spent an afternoon in the garden followed by dinner in the restaurant, thoroughly enjoyed it, the landlord & landlady very friendly the food was good & fair price.

Had an evening meal which was really good. Beautifully presented and excellent customer service from start to finish. Very fair prices and good portions. Will definitely be using this pub regularly.

Hubbie and I went here for dinner. The food was ok - definitely nothing amazing, but it wasn't terrible. Staff were quite friendly. The location was nice - interior of the pub a little bit random - could be a lot nicer I feel with some TLC. The garden was quite nice, although our meal was unfortunately spoiled a couple of times by diners that came outside to smoke directly behind where we were eating. The prices were average. All in all, our visit was fine but I probably wouldn't rush back anytime soon.

Great lunch, huge portions and service was excellent. We had a prawn sandwich, fish finger sandwich and a huge helping of cheesy chips. Served by Andy who was very friendly and efficient, will definitely come back.

Visited with a friend for a Sunday roast. Really nice food, great service and atmosphere. Will be visiting again soon!

Visited on a Saturday eve during Covid restrictions. All dealt with in a friendly and efficient manner. Found a table easily and were able to choose from a good drinks selection. I had the fish and chips - on the whole pretty good though the mushy peas were oddly liquid. My wife had the veggie burger but was given sweet potato fries rather than potato chips as advertised. They were soggy and unappetising. Nothing had been said but on questioning this we were told the kitchen had run out of chips. Had this been mentioned at time of or after ordering she would have chosen something different. In the pub’s defence that meal was knocked off the bill and the staff were very apologetic.

Really enjoyed our first pub supper this year as lockdown rules eased and we could eat inside. Pub has arranged the tables well for social distancing and one way system for toilet visits.Nice springtime menu with generous portions and friendly staff, just wish we lived nearer to come more often!Will return here when we can and also visit the 'sister' pub - Fox at Patching.

Great to visit this great local pub again after lockdown! The new children’s play area is certainly an asset when visiting with family. A good selection of local beer with well priced food. Looking forward to our next visit

An excellent Roast Beef Sunday lunch with Sticky toffee Pudding and Ice Cream for dessert. Washed down with a few pints of Harveys So nice being back in a pub after Lockdown. Support your local!!

We had a two course evening meal here which was enjoyable. The service was good and the environment was well set up to be covid-safe with good table distances and a one-way system.

Lovley roast lunch...4 out of 6 were looking forward to the roast pork and typically this was not available along with cauliflower cheese...boo hoo!The pork was replaced with slow cooked lamb which was very good. I chose the beef which I struggeled to cut so i was given a steak knife...!!!!The other 2 beef lunches were fine.I think I drew the short straw as my portion of beef was not only tough it had a lot of grizzel...thought when the plate was returned the chef/ waitress would have noticed and applogised...!!Overall good food just disappointed with the beef,won't order that again!

Called in for an early evening meal, chose the Sussex Smokey, great choice fillet of Haddock, potatoes, spinach covered in a cheese sauce, with granery bread. Excellent. But the Pint of Proper Job was even better as was those that followed. Highly recommended.

Had our dinner here last night, lovely food, polite service. My husband had mixed grill £16.95 very filling, meat cooked to perfection. I had two starters for my main, mushrooms in cheese sauce with fresh bread and home made fish cake with tomato salsa! We stayed overnight in our Motorhome in car park, so we’re able to have a few drinks !

Tucked at the end of a road, in essence a cul-de-sac, this charming little find offers excellent fare, including the delicious Harvey's real ale. The ploughman's lunches we had were both hearty, large and filling!Staff friendly and helpful. In all, a wonderful place for lunch and presumably dinner.

The place is charming, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! We all had something different and none of us were even remotely disappointed. Good value for money and was basically really good, home made pub food! 5*

My friend and I went for a walk up onto Highdown and decided to stop off at the Spotted Cow for a bit of refreshment.I had the fish finger sandwich and my friend has the Sussex mushrooms.Both were very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beer was good and well kept.The pub is adhering to the COVID rules.The pub is doing well and seemed to be popular.I’d recommend you make a visit

Had a lovely lunch here today. The service was great, very friendly, attentive and professional with a really family ‘feel’ about the place. Social distancing and easy to follow signs are all in place to make sure everyone stays safe too. Lots of seating outside if you’d rather and I love that dogs are welcome too. Very reasonable pricing, particularly with the Government scheme, although it’s still really good value without it. And the food was completely delicious!! Will definitely be back soon.

Had the most amazing lunch today. Fantastic service and the most delicious food. Eat out to help out was an extra bonus but would have been great value for money without 😊

The family decided to have a Sunday lunch at The Spotted Cow in Amering. We was delighted at the service we got and the social distancing. The food was excellent and loved the atmosphere at this very friendly pub.

First family pub meal after lockdown which we were really looking forward to but were slightly apprehensive with all the covid stuff going on. Signs tell you to go into the car park entrance and exit through the front door. There is a lot of outside seating and we felt completely relaxed. They got the balance between safety and enjoying the pub experience just right. Six ales were on. Hophead, Proper Job and Goldmark APA, a hop lovers paradise. All the beers were in excellent condition. Almost every table outside was full but the food still arrived promptly and everything we had was lovely. The chef can do extra vegetarian meals if you ask. It was an absolutely lovely visit. If this is the new norm, then great!

Since The Spotted Cow opened again after lock down I have returned to dine. There is now new chefs and a fantastic new menu. The menu lists yummy good pub grub. My food was absolutely delicious, hot and plated nicely. Definitely return again, and soon! My friends all said they really enjoyed their meal too. Compliments to the chefs please.

We had a socially distanced family meal the food and service was really good. The portions sizes were just right we had a lovely time there. We will return there again when we are down in the area.

The spotted cow,we arrived here due to the free overnight parking.we where delighted ,we where made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived and where led to a comformtable dining area .food and drink great service brilliant.would recommend.

We were recommended to approach the Spotted Cow as to being the venue for Golden Wedding celebration meal. We feel they really did us proud catering for our party of 25. The food was excellent and the conservatory was private with a lovely atmosphere. The staff were happy to oblige in anyway. Our opinion JUST GREAT THANK YOU ALL AT THE SPOTTED COW FOR OUR WONDERFUL DAY.

We came on my birthday with my boyfriend after going to the lamb in which was packed, so we went here instead and were so surprised with the lovely service by the man, we weren’t even too hungry but we ordered food and by god it was perfect, honestly one of the nicest places I have been too in a long time. 10/10.
