The Stonemasons Inn Restaurant in Chichester

Lovely and delicious food!! Amazing service and lovely and friendly atmosphere would definitely recommend to everyone.

the staff here are lovely and has a good atmosphere. the food is amazing unique and delicious. would recommend to everyone who walks by.

Fantastic Sunday roast and dessert was lovely ,we walked in hadn't booked only wanted a sandwich,barman told us Sunday roast is amazing; he was correct,will definitely go back.

Stopped in unplanned for an early dinner after a walk around Petworth. Great staff, could not have done more for us. Open fire, good homemade food in generous portions. Reasonably priced. I have never seen my kids eat so much!!! Absolute gem, we will be back!!!! xxx

An excellent experience. Lunch was scrumptious, atmosphere so very welcoming. Staff very attentive, polite. A log fire burning inviting everyone to a lovely venue, created by a new management, who have created a superb venue…..which was very much required. I will recommend the Stonemasons 100%. I intend to visit on a regular basis. Well done and congratulations to Ken and Tracey and all staff. Thank you.

We visited the Stonemasons to watch the live music on Friday 30th August. What an amazing night! The singer was excellent, and we can’t wait to visit when he plays again in the next couple of weeks. Everyone was up dancing and having a lovely time. The atmosphere in the pub was fantastic, the new landlord has sure turned this pub around in the very short time it has been open. There were a mixture of age groups, and it appears a very family orientated pub which was lovely to see. The staff are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The food was amazing. We had prawns to start and rib eye steak for main. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. Then the homemade cookies and cream ice cream for dessert was out. of. this. world!! It’s left me craving more! For the food alone, I will be making a regular visit back to The Stonemasons. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. The landlord goes above and beyond to engage with everyone, and we wish him and his team every success for the future.

We were in the area visiting friends and fell upon The Stonemasons Inn, Petworth. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that set the stage for the afternoon. The staff at The Stonemasons were attentive without being intrusive, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout our meal. We all opted for a roast dinner. The meat was cooked to perfection and accompanied by a lovely selection of seasonal vegetables. For dessert we all enjoyed the delicious homemade ice cream. It really was the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted. I understand from speaking to the landlord that the Stonemasons only reopened a couple of weeks ago after almost a year of being closed. It is admirable to see a family working hard to make a success of a business that forms an important and integral part of the local community. As they openly admit, the pub is still a working project but I am looking forward to visiting The Stonemasons again next time we are in the area to see the further improvements made and to sample more of Chef’s homemade ice cream! 🍨 😋

Came here with some friends and family for the live music on Friday night, safe to say I am NOT disappointed. Food, service, staff and atmosphere was amazing and place looks amazing!!! Prawns were great!!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local pub that came highly recommended by a friend. This pub has a bit of a history; it was once a beloved spot in the community but changed hands several times and eventually closed. Thankfully, it has now reopened, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by what I found. Walking into the pub, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The space was filled with the lovely aroma of delicious food, and you could sense the excitement and anticipation from the locals, who had clearly been waiting for this place to make its comeback. The new hosts are putting in a tremendous amount of effort to breath life back into the pub, and it shows. I had a chance to chat with the owner, who mentioned that while it’s been a lot of hard work, they’re dedicated to making it a success again—a true labour of love and a work in progress. The food: it was simply excellent. Each dish was tasty, cooked to perfection, bursting with flavour, and presented beautifully. The menu offers something for everyone, from classic pub grub to more refined dishes. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating a diverse and appealing menu. The evening was made even more special by live music in the garden, performed by a talented young artist. His performance brought fantastic energy to the pub, and he managed to get everyone up and dancing—a remarkable feat for a solo artist! His charisma and musical talent were undeniable, and it was a delightful addition to the overall experience. One of the standout aspects of the night was the exceptional service. The bar manager, in particular, deserves special mention. He went above and beyond by taking the time to visit each table, checking in on guests, and ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor made a significant difference and made us feel truly welcome and valued—a rare touch in today’s hospitality industry. Unfortunately, there was one small downside to the evening. A woman seated at the table next to us seemed determined to be the center of attention. She complained loudly about everything, regardless of how trivial, and was unnecessarily rude to the staff. Her behaviour was a bit distracting and took away from the otherwise wonderful ambiance. Interestingly, her son was the live music entertainer, and it was clear she wasn’t doing him any favours with her conduct. It’s a real shame because he was very talented and deserved the spotlight for his performance, not her disruptive antics. She was quite vocal about being his mother, to the point where it seemed she wanted everyone to know. Perhaps in the future, she might consider the impact of her behaviour on others and refrain from acting like a character out of "Keeping Up Appearances." Despite this minor hiccup, the overall experience was phenomenal. The food, the music, and the service—everything came together to create a memorable evening that I would gladly relive. I highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a great night out. Just be prepared to encounter a colourful character or two, but hey, that’s all part of the pub experience, isn’t it? Well done Stonemasons Inn you are doing a sterling job!

The pub felt bleak when we arrived with no character. We walked past the ancient cattle trough to see if filled with builders rubbles and bedding plants on top. Strange way to cast your first impression of a newly opened pub!!! The staff were all fresh , friendly but not trained properly. Ken the manager was doing a great job but sadly was let down by poor service and shocking food. Ken is delusional if he believes his chef is great . Unfortunately what was being turned out was really not up to the standards you'd expect in that area. Prawns swimming in greasy liquid with salad floating around in it. You had to peel the prawns yourself hence getting covered in stinking prawns . Steak was a nightmare and 1/4 inch think like a minute steak not rib eye . No coffee available. The toilets were a disgrace. One trap had no light No light on entree And a hand towel for everyone to share . Now that's the way to share the germs . The men's had no paper and was flooded . The young lad behind the bar was an utter idiot dancing like a clown and totally unprofessional. Ken had his family in which was a distraction for him which I think he could do without. All in all we would never go back there are far superior pubs in the area which serve far better food . Live music in garden was great but everyone was freezer cold . Ken was adamant he wanted the singer outside but that was pretty silly as people stayed in the bar to keep out the cold . Lots and lots of work needed in the venue to get people coming back again and again. Stop trying to meet and greet with strangers and run the pub , head down and focus , get one of the girls to meet and greet . Also check the plates of food going out as honestly it's not as good as you crack it up to be .

complete wankers, booked room. Receive comfirmation and then arrive to find place closed and looking derelict, filthy dirty and weed growing in all the doorways

Absolutely Appalling. We booked an overnight stay for after a long day at Goodwood Revival then called beforehand to book a dinner reservation. We received an email beforehand to confirm our overnight reservation. We arrived at the pub/hotel to find it was closed. their website is up & running and to top it all have received an email to 'rate my stay' UNBELIEVABLE!

We had family down from Gloucester and had gone for a walk around Petworth park,stopped off here for a drink and possibly staying to eat,we entered a were greeted straight away with a hello and big smile,asked if we were eating or just drinking we said possibly both so took menus outside to the garden,Barman (pos landlord) came out and asked if we had decided only as the kitchen was shutting in 10 mins not all of the 6of us had chosen so he came back a few mins later,chose our meals,decided to eat inside so they gave us a lovely big table,meal was absolutely wonderful everyone enjoyed it and had to have pudding even though the kitchen was officially closed we were still catered for. We couldn't recommend this place enough we were made to feel very welcome and not rushed at all and the service was fantastic. It was my partner and mine second time here and we were not disappointed it was just as good as last time. Well done we will be back.

I have frequently stopped at this pub many times on my travels over the last 55 years & stopped there tonight hoping to get a meal thankfully the chap behind the bar said the kitchen was closed so i had a soft drink & went to use the toilet ,i have never seen a more putrid toilet in the UK in my life god knows when it was last cleaned & every wall ledge floor was alive with & crawling with hundreds of insects.Is there a change of management ?

quick lunch stop..great burger..Nice beer garden..friendly place..plenty of tables inside and out .

Driven past this pub many times, never stopped before, but today we did. What a lovely welcome by a young man behind the bar, service excellent. Food very nice. Was going to sit outside but shade was minimal. Dog friendly always a plus.. Would call in again.

we travelled to get here based upon reviews and the 12-8 kitchen times shown on the website only to be told on arrival that the kitchen had shut at 3

Unfortunately I am not able to give this Inn a glowing review like the previous ones on their website . Two stars only because we got a good night sleep once the music from the pub stopped by 11pm and perhaps because we were tired from the day's activities at Goodwood. The facilities are less than adequate and lack in cleanliness. I’ll let the pictures do the talking! What was evident is the lack of attention to details i.e. one mug in the room; had to use our phones for lighting over the back door whilst standing under a drip from the pipe above. Can’t comment on breakfast as we didn’t have any. On our last day we were left a few slices of bread in a basket on a piece of jay cloth. Granted it could have been a new one but because they are used for cleaning it was off putting. There were four of us but only two bowls left and two open boxes of cereal but no milk or spoons. We will not be returning nor recommend the Stonemasons Inn

Went here for Sunday lunch after exploring Petworth. Excellent welcoming service, delicious nut roasts and possibly the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had! Only feedback for team would be to add something vegetarian to children’s menu, but this is quite common and staff were accommodating. Don’t let previous negative reviews put you off, a very enjoyable Sunday lunch in a warm, relaxed and characterful location! Will visit again!

We stayed here on 17th December after a wedding nearby. It was very cold in our room with no way to adjust or turn on the radiator. We therefore slept in our clothes. We had booked breakfast for 9am the following morning. When we went down to the restaurant, there was nobody there, all the lights were off and no sign of breakfast. With no staff around we decided to leave. As we were loading the car at 9:30 a staff member appeared and said there was no breakfast as the chef was sick. Sickness can't be helped, but they could have rung us before 9 to let us know, and they could have offered us a cup of tea and a cold buffet with cereal / fruit / yoghurt even if there was no chef? We were very disappointed with our stay and despite our request have yet to receive a partial refund.

Had Christmas dinner with 9 friends last night, was freezing cold in the restaurant area had to sit in coats ridiculous, told by manager/owner when couldn’t go in the side where the fire was because the football was on and would be too loud, should of at least given us the choice. The food no more than average hard veg on the mains cold food cold plates just cold everything definitely something going on In the toilets same people in and out rather a lot some sort of drug taking maybe, Still charged full price and tried to add service charge at least the waitress tried but with no help from her management. Definitely won’t be going back or recommending

Lovely friendly pub - very dog-friendly. Food good but not outstanding. Nice atmosphere inside, mainly locals I think, but welcoming to our small group.

For all the hungry people who don't make it to The Angel, Black Horse, Welldiggers, White Horse, White Hart etc.etc. in time for lunch. Not bad reviews as well!

Third visit here, great food and very friendly staff,the standard of food and service was very great.we ordered steak and ale pie , which were outstanding and mixed green salad that had a delicious house dressing.Gorgeous light and bright room.

Horrible pub. Food was awful. People taking drugs in toilet namely staff. Please avoid everyone........

Bit of a funny review as we visited a while back and only just had the chance to write this so memory is a bit clouded!!! However wanted to write this because reading the negative reviews on here I think it deserves a bit more...

1.5 hours to serve two burgers and chips and not even busy. No explanation or apology. When the food finally came 1 and a half hours later!!!!! Was average at best.

The staff were accommodating and our rooms were ready early for us. The pub and rooms need a thorough deep clean. Cushions and carpets were stained.

We found the Stonemasons Inn as it is the only pub for miles around open on a Monday. We only came for drinks but we stayed a bit longer than anticipated as the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Beers in good condition.

Excellent food, hot and really tasty. Service was exceptional. Good atmosphere. Desert was outstanding.

Visited after a dog walk and enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch. Very friendly staff. Quiet garden.Meal portions generous.

Ran out of beer and still charged service and beer 10% increase in beer since start of lockdown will not return in near future

Rang at 18:55 Thursday 8th October ,to book a table for diner, abrupt lady said I’ll ask the kitchen ,abrupt lady said kitchen closed ,I said closed at 18:55 your website says order till 9pm , abrupt lady replied we’re not busy so kitchen closed early ..... Well I thought with your attitude I not surprised your not busy, we went to another local pub that evening called the Badger and told a local couple of our experience regarding the Stonemasons they just laughed and said with there reputation “ you dodged a bullet “ ...... every cloud !!

Amazing service and food I had a meal with my 5 year old daughter, father and his girlfriend, the staff were very welcoming and friendly nothing was too much trouble, on a couple of occasions I looked around for an extra spoon or something I needed the staff picked up on this and were straight there providing what we needed without having to ask, the food was amazing even my fussy 5 year old said how good the food was, definitely recommend this restaurant/pub. It was clean and very well presented, we had a very enjoyable evening my daughter loved being able to request her favourite songs and enjoyed herself immensely thank you stonemasons for an outstanding visit many thanks shelley and family.

Accomodating staff. Nice courtyard garden. I was disappointed with my meal but staff were very obliging and changed my meal. Will come back.

We dropped in here after a trip to Petworth House needing a bite to eat. The pub was full but the manager was able to find us a table after 15 mins. Lunch was well worth the wait! I had a roast which was piled high and delicious. Others in the group had the sausage and mash, fish and chips and Cajun burgers.. everyone was more than happy with their choices. The manager and waiting staff were helpful and friendly -attentive without imposing.We will definitely return in the future.

Really nice pub with friendly helpful staff with lovely home made food. My husband had the Steak burger and I had the same but replaced the meat with Halloumi, both were excellent

Stayed the night while visiting family. Room could do with some tlc but very clean and comfortable. The staff and customers very friendly made us very welcome. Breakfast very good. Will stay again.

A lunch for some 40 members of a club was efficiently catered for with good organisation and a festive meal giving value for money. The restaurant has two interconnecting larger rooms which proved ideal for a substantial corporate meal. The atmosphere was sociable and the service was courteous. Thumbs up to the chef and the staff !

We met friends for a pub lunch and were very impressed with the quality of the food and service at this lovely little place.

Met my daughter for lunch with a friend of mine had a lovely meal here. Lovely atmosphere with a log fire and beams. We hade a great meal and very good service and a reasonable price. Would highly recommend this pub. We will return

One of the friendliest pubs we have been to for years.Great local and national ales on offer and all kept beautifully fresh.They keep the menu simple but the food is delicious( we had the O’Hagons sausages with mash).Lucy behind the bar very professional and courteous, thank you.

Saturday afternoon about 2pm pulled in for a pub lunch. Menu was nothing like what is shown on their web site! Had the creamy baked macaroni. Not creamy, was't macaroni pasta, it wasn't baked or very hot. My guess was a packet of pasta bake with hot water. Cost me £10.50 Very poor value....and the smallest bottle of coca cola I'd ever seen cost me £2.50I go past this Inn once a month, and thought I'd give it at try. Wish I hadn't bottherd.Will not vist again.

We stopped here for a quick lunch and had a BLT sandwich and squid rings. My wife's BLT was excellent, my squid rings were a disappointment, they were very greasy and the actual ring had shrivelled up to almost nothing. I was given 5 rings and at £6.95, this is £1.39 per ring! The service was good and pleasant, the atmosphere was a typical old pub and was enjoyable. I think I just made the wrong choice.

We stopped mid journey for lunch and we very pleased with the service, food and drink. The staff were very pleasant and made us feel welcome. Two different types of burger, one fish and chips and no complaints. I would certainly recommend a visit.

Have driven past this place on so many occasions but never stopped as always on the way to somewhere else. However this time made the effort to pull in and was well rewarded. A friendly welcome and a good (but not fancy) menu. Portion size was excellent, filling without stuffing you. Overall a very good meal and a place I'll return to.

Our 2nd visit in the last couple of weeks, think there are new Landlords. Definitely didn't disappoint, friendly welcome and excellent food, infact we cleared our plates and definitely needed the good long walk we had after in Fittleworth Woods.

After visiting Petworth House, we were looking for a spot of lunch. We came across the Stonemaker’s straight away. Pimm’s in a sundappled garden, lovely service and a wonderful lunch at a very good price. Highly recommended.

Excellent! Friendly staff, friendly locals! Food prompt and excellent! Would definitely recommend if passing thro or living locally! Superb!

Spent the night here, nice comfortable room ,lovely staff. Really good value. Didn't eat in the restaurant but the breakfast was good.

Came here for Sunday lunch with the family. There were 7 adults and 3 children, we had booked and were put in a part of the restaurant which was out the way, it was nice because we didn’t feel like we were disturbing people and we had privacy.

Early lunch on a Saturday. Choice not bad though would have liked sandwiches and naughty chips. Staff ab fab, garden could with cheering up a bit. Inside is lovely. Food more than satisfactory. Bonus here is also parking.

Arranged to meet friend at 10.30 as it was a half way point for us, for brunch, served 8 -11.30 as per their very nice looking website , got there all closed up opening time on door 12 ! To be honest it didn’t look any where near as good , all a bit unloved looking , still very good fresh scones in Petworth House

Ten members of family plus two dogs met at the pub last minute so no reservation made for lunch , however the staff could not have been more helpful . After a short wait they set up a table and we all enjoyed an excellent lunch . The dogs had fun with some others that were in the pub ! We will return and will book first . Please thank your Kiwi staff who were so helpful

We have been to the Stonemasons several times before and have always enjoyed the food, drink and atmosphere there. People tending the bar and restaurant are also very friendly and welcoming which is important too. Dog friendly also. This time we just settled for a couple of beers and the Ham, Egg and Chips which is not really a challenge for the kitchen but was good anyway.

Super lovely staff especially Alana and Sarah .

We were in a group of 12 and the service was poor as we had to keep asking for things like serving spoons for the veg and spoons for pudding (some of which were soup) which should have been already on the table. I should have had parsnips and carrots but it was swede and hard carrots. My roast potatoes were hard too and not very roasted so I asked for them to be changed but got more of the same . No water was offered so I asked for some and they only brought me a glass.

This is the 3rd time we have eaten here after a long walk with the dogs in Petworth Park, and the food and service has been consistently good and seasonably priced.

We were staying at The Stonemasons Inn and on arrival on the Saturday morning we booked a table in the restaurant for dinner that evening. We booked for 8.00 pm - what we weren't told is that the kitchen closes at 8.30 pm!

We called here in the summer and ate outside - lovely generous portions of food and very pleasant staff. This time we were inside with a roaring fire. The food was just as delicious and staff were as pleasant. My wife had the 3 fishcakes except they are now 2 because most diners were serious challenged by 3 oversize home made cakes. I had gammon, egg and chips. I would have preferred a slab of gammon rather than thin slices but it didn't spoil the enjoyment at all. we shall call in again.

We had a good meal in what is basically a village pub with benefits! The menu has standard pub food at reasonable prices plus some interesting specials. The barmaid is welcoming and cheerful and on the cold day when we last went in we were pleased to see the fire had been lit. The pub is very handy for visits to Petworth House (NT) and Park (good for walks). The village is full of antique shops and you can visit the very nice church with some interesting architectural features, but don't expect to park in the village! It is not a long walk from the NT car park or park at the pub.

Booked in for a birthday meal for my son’s 14th birthday, it was a fantastic evening and my husband enjoyed it too.

We last visited here 3 years ago and a lot can change during that time. We were out on bikes and it was nice bright but cold'ish day.

We really enjoyed our Sunday Lunch at the Stonemasons. Good hearty portions of delicious traditional roast and plenty of veg. Such a welcomed change from the 'designer meals' often offered! Lovely friendly staff, good value. An all round enjoyable meal! We'll come again. Thank you Stonemasons!

Yet again a wonderful roast fresh and well cooked , great value for money ,simply delicious! Thankyou!

We passed the stonemasons after a lovely morning at Petworth house, what a pleasant surprise. Great service from friendly bar staff and lovely food. I had the sausages and they were perfect.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch on the way back from the coast had a very nice lunch at a fair price good food

Nice place to eat and drink very relaxing place nice atmosphere. Wood fire in the winter lovely restaurant for a romantic meal.

We stayed on Saturday for a night in a room called Mrs Smith's Room,this was a really comfortable room,. The evening meal and breakfast was very good as were the staff who looked after us.

Deciding at the last minute to take my daughter to lunch we needed somewhere close by.

We had Sunday lunch with 3 generations.

Stopped here completely random and what a great surprise , great homely oak beamed pub, very warm welcome from all the staff, the food was excellent, and very reasonably priced, cannot praise it enough, the staff went the extra mile for us and would recommend this pub to everyone!

Our first choice for lunch had stopped serving food when we arrived but we found the Stonemasons was still going so we went there instead and I'm glad we did. Good bar menu, but we went for the house special bacon cheese burger which was pricey (£12) but excellent - a really well stacked bun with a good portion of chips and side salad too. And it is the first pub I've been to in a very long time where I was offered a taster of the draught beer before they pulled my pint. Now my first choice for a pub lunch after stomping the South Downs.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at the pub, great choice on the menu and chilled wine. Highly enjoyable experience- thank you.

We took my Mother here for her birthday along with our two children - a traditional style pub but with contemporary décor and friendly staff.

Friendly and helpful staff. Really good bar menu, and excellent value for money.

We came across this place just by luck, drove past it late at night searching for somewhere to stay last minute, they told us check in normally closes at 9 but we could have a room, the staff went out of their way to help us out even though we turned up after hours, they even gave us free food and drinks, breakfast was great the rooms are lovely and clean. Couldn't have asked to have stumbled upon a better place!

Very pleasant pub and landlord. Excellent choice of food and served in good time. Pub is dog friendly which is always a bonus.

Low-slung old pub on the edge of Petworth. Has clearly had a bit of an unfocussed refurb but it still feels more like a locals haunt than a destination eatery.

Lovley pub/inn , we were just passing and decided to stop off for lunch, it was a pleasant surprise lovely ambience , friendly staff and the food was amazing ! I would highly recommend The Stonemasons Inn .

We stopped here for a drink on our way back from the coast last night, as we entered the pub were told it was closing - it was 830pm! No wonder so many pubs are going out of business if you don't open, we won't go there again! Funny how the manager has only replied on here to the people who have given good reviews not the unhappy customers, says it all !

We stayed at the Stonemasons Inn for my sisters wedding and had a family meal at the Inn the night before the wedding. We were a large party but the friendly staff coped well.

We entered this establishment earlier today after noticing a ''breakfast being served''sign outside.

Friendly staff, generous portions a good value for money, has a beautiful outside area and darts as is so child friendly!! Highly recommended if you visit Petworth.

We’d past this place a number of times on our journeys and decided to give it a try, thank goodness we did, what a wonderful surprise.

This used to be my local which has sometimes been hit and miss but today was the worst i have ever seen!

It started with the very warm welcome the barmaid gave us as we came in from our walk. Followed by excellent beef and wild mushroom stew, and fish cakes with poached egg. Good mixture of clientell, and very warm atmosphere

Booked a table at the Stonemasons on Mothering Sunday after a previous great experience. It was packed but the staff were still very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Served by the same pretty young lady who again gave us perfect service, couldn't fault her! Rushed off her feet but still made sure we were happy and always served us with a smile. The Sunday roasts were huge and delicious, the desserts were equally delicious - especially the sticky toffee pudding! Would really recommend the Stonemasons Inn. Will be back again.

Dropped in late afternoon Mothering Sunday to see if we could book a table for 5 for an hour or so's time. The kitchen was due to close in about 30 minutes, but we were offered a table there and then. The Sunday roasts were enormous and absolutely delicious. Would definitely eat here again. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Another 5 night stay at Petworth’s excellent Stonemasons. There is nowhere I would rather spend the night and relax in the morning with a full English breakfast, than at this Inn. Great service, fantastic food, comfortable beds, pleasant and knowledgeable management. What more could one ask for?
