I love this family run pub. Always a great atmosphere, real pub food, always delicious. Great choice of food and great place for families to meet up. Added bonus they do barbecues and have a skittle alley. This is a real pub.

I can’t praise this pub more. They get it just right. The service is excellent. Friendly and efficient. We were a party of 12, some of us asking for modifications to our meals. Everything was spot on. The food came at the same time, was piping hot and delicious. There was choice for our varied tastes. But, the service was what helped make it. They did us and themselves proud. Thank you.

We had a great meal with friends here on a Tuesday evening recently. The food was amazing and fairly priced. Great selection, very hot and lots of it. We were given a warm welcome and looked after well, although it was a busy night, the service and atmosphere were great. Thank you very much.

The Pub itself is lovely as are the staff. All the friends I was with were very happy with their food. However I wouldn't recommend if you are vegan. There are no starters and only one main course. The burger I received was over done on one side to the point that I could barely chew it! Overall if you eat meat it's lovely but if you want kinder options I would go elsewhere!

Where to start! Well this is a pub with a Landlord who has captured what can't be bought or bottled but is an atmosphere to be envied. You are instantly made to feel welcome, there is a good selection of drinks including two two real ales no less (both very well kept) and the food is excellent with a wide choice from light lunches to full meals. The staff are pleasant, helpful and welcoming but ut is the overall feeling of a welcoming home from home. I can't praise this pub high enough and will without any doubt be returning.

On our way home we stopped at the Spur for a snack and drink only to find the kitchen had closed at 2pm and we were just a little late for a bite to eat. No worries they rustled but a wonderful plate of an open sandwich,salad and crisps all fresh and delicious with a warm welcome and a friendly smile. A very kind gesture for 2 weary travelers. Will definitely stop again but before 2pm next time

Unfortunately my wife had to drop out due to illness, the staff were very understanding and sympathetic so it was just my son and me. We had booked which turned out well as the place wasn’t heaving but had quite a few tables in use for a cold Tuesday in February. The food service was a bit slow but that didn’t matter but if we had been with youngsters it might have been difficult. The menu isn’t extensive but better that than trying to do too many things not very well. I settled on steak and kidney pudding and my son on steak and Guinness pie. Both were excellent freshly cooked and hot, served with mash for me and chips for him, plus freshly cook mixed veg, carrot, cabbage, red cabbage and French beans plus plenty of gravy. All highly recommended we will return.

We were a party of 8 adults, a baby and 2 dogs and pre-booked for Christmas lunch. The table was nicely laid out and decorated with Christmas crackers. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was brought to the table in a timely manner and exactly matched the varied personal choices we had already submitted. The portions were generous and of very good quality. This was my first visit to this pub restaurant, but it will certainly be on my list for future visits.

We’ve lived in the south for 20 years and always driven past this pub wondering what it was like. Wonder no more, we visited for lunch and were met by very friendly landlord who fitted us in despite not booking and being busy with Christmas groups eating. Very good honest ‘pub grub’ menu and we opted for sirloin steak x 2 which came with chips, onion rings, vine cherry tomatoes and a big mushroom. We had peppercorn sauce too. It was absolutely delicious, cooked exactly as we asked and was so tender. This pub will now be one of our regular lunch places, so glad we finally visited.

Beware the potholes for parking. Otherwise a good lunch for 4 of us. Fish and chips excellent with a bonus point for the offer of mushy peas instead of the usual frozen type. A long wait, but they did say that they were short staffed that day. Would go again.

Went here for lunch today at short notice due to a disastrous experience at the Star and Garter Pub in East Dean (read my other review of that pub - one to avoid). We were made very welcome and the atmosphere and service was excellent. The roast beef was plentiful, hot and delicious - roast potatoes and Yorkshire lovely and crispy. Thank you the Spur for such a great experience - we will return !!!

How nice to find a lovely pub with friendly staff, good service and excellent “home cooked fresh food” at a reasonable price . A quality Lamb and mint pie served with a selection of fresh vegetables, new potatoes on a warm plate - what a joy. The other dishes served were of a similar excellent standard . Non pretentious food very well cooked . I concur with previous Reviewers - this pub and the team within make this place a “ little gem”. We shall certainly become quite regular visitors and wish all concerned a long and successful business - they deserve it.

We all enjoyed our dishes Pate and Squid for starter Ham, egg and chips and Scampi for the old and homemade pies for my wife and I. The pies are as good as described and stuffed full of your chosen filling. A special call out for the deserts. Rhubarb and ginger crumble was amazing and the rice pudding was thick, creamy and even came with skin. Will be back to try the Sunday Roast next.

For my meal I had the 3 cheeses and red onion quiche with thin fries and salad. It was delicious, cannot fault the meal at all. The mix of the cheeses and the red onion chutney really hit the taste buds, and the thin fries were generous in number and perfectly cook. The onion rings on the side were tasty too. All homemade and very filling! Reasonably priced too. Would recommend.

All food is homemade with love and care and tastes all the better for it. Service is marvellous and you feel part of the family whilst dining there. Everything is very COVID secure too and we loved it so much that we had to visit again the very next night. Highly recommend the pies but make sure to try the specials too!

Pub looks great from the outside but when you step inside you are greeted by a grumpy bartender who is reluctant to talk about anything except your drinks order. COVID-19 safety is very good and the pub is well equipped. However for our meal we were sat in the skittle alley out the back of the main pub. I understand this was probably due to the virus but there was absolutely no atmosphere at all which is part of the whole experience of going to a pub. For about half an hour my party and I were sat alone until a couple joined us, this wasn’t enough to match the atmosphere of the main pub which seemed to have many people inside but wasn’t full. The food was okay but nothing to write home about, I had white bait to start it was very nice but I noticed I didn’t have beetroot in my salad when the other orders did this is a not a big deal but shows inconsistencies in the food and paired with the poor atmosphere was disappointing. For my main I had one of the specials: ribs they were presented well on the plate but looked well done. Despite their blackened look, the meat was tender and flavourful although every other bite was mushy fat and overall they could’ve done with more barbecue sauce because the sauce was only drizzled on. Apart from this everything else on my plate was good but it was only chips, salad and coleslaw so nothing could really go wrong. I can only speak in detail for my food but the other members of my party said the food was average. In conclusion I feel we were let down by our local pub which we were trying to support in these difficult times. We will be returning to the spur but only for a drink and a game of pool unless we hear that the food has been improved and people aren’t being exiled to the dreaded skittle alley.-Mr B.

A large crew of us dropped in here for lunch before a race meeting at Fontwell in late August '19.Very pleasant garden at the front of the pub and a decent array of beers inside coupled with a strong looking food menu.The beer was great and the food dishes, when they came out, were all rather excellent. A good couple of hours spent before heading to the race-track.

My friend and I visited this pub early December. Great food and the waiter was very attentive with a great sense of humour. We looked after by him for the majority of the evening. Good food, beautifully presented, hot and tasty. Would recommend

We travelled from near Chichester to enjoy the delights of The Spur at Slindon. We received a very warm welcome, the owner and staff are all wonderful hosts. Although our visit was on a Monday evening, there was ample choice of dishes on the menu. All menu items were cooked fresh, tasted absolutely divine with ample portions. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, looking and tasting delicious. Desserts receive the same accolades, both were plentiful and delicious. The dining area is vast, but with several alcoves, it can also be quiet or romantic too. A real fire between the restaurant area and the bar only adds the to the welcoming atmosphere. We are seriously considering for Valentine's Night, and will certainly be regularly making the journey from Chichester again to enjoy the delights of The Spur.

Visited with family for an evening meal just after Xmas and were treated to a wonderful meal with extremely friendly staff, superb ambience, great service and reasonable prices. This is most certainly on our ‘must visit again’ list.

We stopped off at The Spur after a long drive from the West Country. We shared two sandwiches and both were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed my pint of Doombar. We will visit again soon.

Three of us ate on a quiet night. First of all the good bit. The beer is good.The rest however was very disappointing. The waitress was so cold that we wondered if one of us had met her before and upset her in some way. The food was a great disappointment. My son had the half pounder burger which tasted awful. Very salty and like some cheap mass produced rubbish. No texture, no taste. I have never seen him leave a burger before. Whitebait to start. Tiny portion but OK. My main was scampi. OKish, but again a tiny portion. The chips were good.We didn't bother with desert....we didn;t feel welcome and it we had enough poor food. We were home by 8.30pm.We are locals and will not be using the Spur again.

Went for a Christmas Lunch with a couple of friends. A very warm welcome with very friendly and helpful staff. Especially the lovely Claire.The place was decorated for Christmas with a log fire burning. Food was great, Baked Camembert, followed by Roast Turkey and all the trimmings, Christmas Pudding and Custard, Mince Pies and Coffee. A steal at £30.00. The place still had the feel of a pub, and you can eat in the Bar or in it's large restaurant. Will definitely be back!!!

My friend and I visited last Friday evening and received a warm welcome. We were offered a choice of 2 tables and chose to sit next to the fire. The gentleman that served us most of the evening offered an excellent customer service, the food was generous and was very good. The one disappointing thing was the lady that served us - she did not have a sense of humour and hardly raised a smile all evening, which put a bit of a dampener on the whole evening. I would recommend she works in the kitchen behind the scenes and the waiter who served us is given a raise.

I went as part of a large group for a Christmas pre booked meal. It was fantastic. I had the beef followed by Christmas pudding and custard. It was all delicious and as many roast potatoes and veg as you wanted. Lots of custard on the lovely Christmas pudding too. Finally the coffee came with the most delicious homemade mince pies I have every had!! The service was excellent too.Highly recommend!

Family lunch at The Spur is an occasion not to be missed. A fantastic, warm greeting and a veritable cabaret from Andrew and his colleague serving the food, humour and professionalism guaranteed. Restaurant beautifully decorated for Christmas, and Directors on tap. Food absolutely excellent, great choice and very sympathetically cooked and presented. Lots of choices of potatoes and a brilliant dessert menu. Second time there and we reckon that there is no better place in the area. We will, of course, be returning!! Well done to all and thank you from the family you made our day.

A Sunday roast that gets served with 3 rock hard potatoes that were reheated from the morning, 2 slices of reheated 2mm beef delivered already cooked a few days before or at least that's what it looked like, vegetables at least 5 minutes after the beef and potatoes, totally soggy and over cooked, the only reason it's not 1 star is it was not poisonous and the only option apart from going somewhere else which I will do in the future, there's so many good places to eat in the area, no idea why anyone would go here twice apart from being bad cooks themselves and not having any imagination, or maybe if you like sitting in the pool table room on old cafe tables then this might just be your cup of tea...

Went today for a couple of coffees, after waiting 5 minutes some young guy who had been folding napkins eventually wandered over looking most disinterested. I asked for 2 coffees and he said ' can't do hot drinks '. No apology or reason why. Needless to say with 2 other places nearby, West Park and The Waverley, where you feel welcome will not be coming back here.
