The Unicorn Inn in Chichester

Cracking old school country pub. Lovely friendly locals too

Great place to take my daughter beautiful view food and nice lovely people

Great food. Staff were good. Great views

Great rural pub with a stunning pub garden and great choice of ales. Staff member who was working at the time also very friendly

Arrived for dinner and stayed all night. Even did the quiz. Lovely setting, garden had great views. Food good and locals friendly. Been here a couple of times now whilst staying on the downs. Great service, recommended

Always looking for the perfect country Pub and this may be it! Lovely Garden, Friendly staff and good drinks selection in a beautiful spot! Love it and will definitely be retuning to try the Food! Very impressed 👏

Sadly a VERY disappointing lunch with our friends. We have met up here on a couple of occasions as it's a halfway point, & have been happy in the past, but something seems to have gone awry since our last visit. Even though it wasn't at all busy our reserved table was squashed in a dark corner so we asked if we could move to the lighter side of the room, which we did & took our cutlery with us as no other tables laid up. There was a big difference between the quality of the dishes ordered & I had to return my battered fish & chips as the fish was inedible. Hard rubbery batter which I could hardly cut through & the 2 pieces I tried were a funny texture & the fish was very wet. I certainly wasn't going to continue. On returning it to the bar I ordered a ploughmans as had gone right off the idea of another cooked dish. Had to return to the bar to ask for a fresh set of cutlery. Nobody tried to ask if we wanted any more drinks so we had to go to the bar & get ourselves. The desserts were good - again no asking if we'd like any coffee so paid our bill & left. There didn't seem to be anybody in front of house except for a young lady behind the bar & the lad serving - both who seemed of student age. Perhaps the chef in the kitchen was in charge but the whole experience was sadly lacking. Unfortunately the Unicorn is now off our list.

Great staff, offered to open a tab as they knew we were eating , dog bowls full in the garden, we had pigeon and skate to eat, really well cooked.

Tasty menu! Good quality produce. Pub classics delivered to a great standard. Roast Beef in the salad was awesome, plus plenty of it. Prawn cocktail was as it should be - fresh avocado, juicy prawns and not too much sauce! Desserts yummy. Highly recommend.

Really lovely pub. Food very good. Service perfect.

All round Fantastic country pub, great food, beer, and staff

A meal of two halves. Great welcome from charming, cheerful landlady and pretty good food, especially the local asparagus. But after she left, we were served watery "espressos" by an unsmiling and unfriendly waitress.

I went to the garden just today it was the lovely view that makes you Calm and relaxed and the food was delicious I recommend it to everyone

Beautiful place, but possibly the smallest Sunday roast i have ever had... Shared the vedge (admittedly nice) bettween 4 of us from a small bowl in the middle containg approx: 1 shredded Carrot 2 spoon fulls of Cabbage Half a chopped Leek And half a head of Broccoli... Oh and two Parsnip shavings on my plate... Again, really nice, but we joked the whole day about the portion size 🤣🙄

Nice country pub, in an ideal setting. brilliant food and staff, I would definitely recommend a visit or two.

Classic Sussex pub with very friendly staff. Great beer garden out the back

A lovely meal. Great staff and atmosphere. Stuffed chicken very tasty and steak lovely and tender. Pudding options varied and spectacular. Roulade was tasty with cranberry providing an unusual twist.

Dropped off the south downs way to this charming pub in a picturesque hamlet, fantastic beer, polite and welcoming service, wished we'd been able to stay longer

Always a warm welcome and friendly service.xxx

I love the Unicorn! Rarely am I able to give such a glowing review. The staff are delightful, the ambience quintessentially English and the food simply doesn’t get better. I have eaten at the Unicorn on numerous occasions and never have I been disappointed. Abroad, the English cuisine is often mocked or criticised, but the food at the Unicorn is testament to the fact that exciting, perfectly prepared food DOES exist in England! And the location! Well what can I say; the view from the beer garden - at anytime of the year - is akin to a pastoral scene of yesteryear. I live in an area where we are spoilt for choice when it comes to country pubs, but the Unicorn Inn stands out as one of the very best. For a genuine, rural, West Sussex experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend The Unicorn Inn, Heyshott - at the foot of the South Downs

Took my Mum for lunch, found The Unicorn by accident and had a fabulous meal. Excellent food and friendly service. Will definitely return.

Lovely village pub, food was amazing and atmosphere just what a country pub should be.

after our visit to the Weald Museum we wanted to east something, googled the nearest Pub and ended up here ! I have to say we did not regret it . the Place has a fantastic View , nice Food , and most importantly extreme friendly staff with who we had a lovely short conversation. Highly recommended and defiantly to be back during summer to enjoy the view outside

Really great pub.fantastic views, and lovely garden. Great food, relaxing location. Would strongly recommend. Dog 🐕 friendly, and lovely real fireplace . Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

A pub that hosts the Hunt. Sadly didn't realise until we sat down and were overlooked by photographs of the hunt meets at the Unicorn Inn. This was after drinks and food had been ordered otherwise we would have never have supported them. A village pub with a good name and zero ethics and pretty naff food. Plenty of public houses that don't and won't entertain the wildlife destroying hunt.

Such a lovely place! We found this while driving around the area. Very cosy atmosphere and friendly staff! The soufflé was spot on! Reasonable price for what you get! Definitely coming back!

Really enjoyed a 3 course lunch with my choir, The Siena Singers. 1st class food (particularly the tender, succulent Venison!) & friendly, smiley staff!

What a super place, fabulous food and wonderful service in an incredible setting.

Had the pleasure of experiencing the Unicorn Inn's Sunday lunch yesterday for a Family Birthday of 13 people. From initial booking request, to the all important food and drinks service, there was nothing to fault, only cheerful fun and banter, ably supported by Laura and the efficiently friendly table personnel. The cosy and welcoming ambience of the Unicorn is complemented by it's idyllic English Village setting, nestled discreetly amongst the rolling hills and farmland of the South Downs. Would we return ? - You Betcha ! by general family consensus

Best meal for a long time in an excellent setting and fantastic staff

Always enjoy our meals here. Lovely location.

What a great afternoon we were spoilt by the weather and the food and drink. Sitting in the sun, looking at the back of the south downs.

Average local pub with a nice selection of beers ...

A great little pub, nice beer garden, village green setting, friendly staff, nice food. Even had some pear dog treats for our Romanian rescue Henry - no wonder nearly every table in the garden had a dog or two! We rocked up in a small campervan and were allowed to stay overnight (Saturday) so could use the WCs until midnight. Quiet location and not too noisy despite a 50th birthday party happening. I found the food a bit expensive for pub fodder - nice burger, nice salad but £8.50 for 4 thin slices of cheese and a small selection of biscuits with some whittled down celery? Ouch! £72 for 4 drinks, 2 mains and a shared cheese platter...

The Unicorn always has friendly staff and a creative menu with superbly cooked dishes. I can honestly say it serves some of the best pub food I have eaten. The garden has great views and inside cosy and welcoming.

Beautiful location, friendly staff and nice food. Sat in the beer garden with a gorgeous view. Would definitely recommend.

Food, service and surroundings all perfect. We had a late lunch table service was slow, as it's very popular, for good reason. It's ideal for a chilled Sunday lunch. I guess avoid if you want a quick stop though, but to me, that's not what Sunday lunch is about.

What a gem. The pub is set in a wonderful setting with glorious views from the car park. The young people behind the bar were friendly and extremely polite. Welcoming atmosphere and pleasant decor. The food was very good. Thoroughly recommended.

Arrived on a very hot day, spent few hours in garden, got very busy then went in to have a meal, no complaints, meal and service good.

Great pub with some fantastic food and the views from the gardens is amazing

Nice location. Crazy Guinness price £6.60...

A classic English bar filled with amazing ornaments from its rich history. Friendly staff too!

We stayed over in our Motorhome. Lovely peaceful night. Food and Service was excellent.

Staff polite and food excellent. Lovely atmosphere.

Warm welcome and great atmosphere. Good selection of beers, including real ales….

Good choice for a lunchtime with some not so common options, which we had. Huss and chips - the huss was very tasty as was the pigeon breast in a savoury peppercorn gravy with a nice selection of vegetables. Interesting real ale and attentive service. Varied walks from the pub - we combined two short ones to give ourselves a nearly two hour walk to work up an appetite

Nice country pub friendly staff

Nice local pub. Excellent food and nice atmosphere

We held a 50th anniversary primary school reunion for Conifers (Midhurst) last night. I chose the Unicorn as it had good reviews and was central to where most people lived. We weren't disappointed. The food was excellent, Laura was super helpful, as were the staff, it was just the right atmosphere for what we wanted. 10/10, have a gold star Laura !

Excellent food, friendly staff, great pub...

Called in after a long dog walk, had a fantastic lunch, lovely atmosphere, great views of the South Downs and very friendly and professional staff. We will definitely go back and highly recommend.

From the moment you walk in the place has a friendly vibe and staff. A great choice of beers and drinks behind the bar. The menu had a range of traditional dishes with slight twists for the better. The four of us had fantastic meals and you could tell it was freshly prepared and a proper kitchen / chef. The portion sizes were just right and the dessert menu had to be sampled. Looking forward to my next visit.

Stumbled across this place by accident. We're so glad we did. Nothing fancy on the inside, but garden and views are breath taking. Amazing tracks to go walking straight from the car park. Now for those who like there food. It's fantastic. The best curried parsnip soup I've ever eaten and the pheasant curry was sublime. Will definitely be going back. Well worth a visit.

Fine old country pub deep in the Sussex countryside, and an easy drive from Midhurst. Ample parking is adjacent. Not all that big inside and no sign of any trendy interior work; all furnishings classically a shade of pub brown. Didn't really test the menu as I was there on a group Xmas meal. I think I must have seen all the festive options pass by, in addition to mine, and everything looked great and seemed to be enjoyed by all in attendance. In fact, having seen platefuls of the stuff wafting around, I wish I'd gone for the usual traditional turkey dinner etc but I'd had exactly that at a similar event the day before. The Unicorn's version looked umpteen times better. So on this occasion, I selected the pork fillet wrapped in bacon with gnocchi and a mustard sauce. Not overly seasonal, but cranberry sauce did seem to enhance it rather well. Anyway, there was plenty of it, the meat was tender and tasty, and the gnocchi was a welcome change from potatoes, so good work. Preceded by a rough and ready pork terrine and followed by an ok white chocolate blondie. The young ladies working the tables were cheerful and very efficient, so a very well organised lunchtime for us all. Definitely worth a visit under normal circumstances, I'd say.

Another excellent meal in a beautiful village pub with very well kept beers . Lovely garden and young staff very enthusiastic and attentive

Hidden jem in the heart of the South Downs national park and is perfectly situated for a spot of lunch or a post South Downs Way dog walk pint and bag of pork scratings. Staff are very friendly and the beer garden has possibly one of the best outlooks in the county.

An amazing pub brilliant food and great service

A lovely, dog friendly country pub with great roast (although we could have had more veggies) for fair price Great service, would recommend

We are from North Yorkshire and loved the food and service, thank you x

Amazing pub.Excellent food at a reasonable price.Staff kind and attentive.Beautiful garden.Dogs made very welcome.Beer very good in a beautiful location.Thankyou .

I am Spanish and I loved this place, its great English beers, the lively atmosphere and the creative and homemade dishes (they are not the typical English ones)

A lovely old country pub. Good choice of beers and good pub food. Plenty of room to in the car park.

Very friendly staff, great Guinness 👍

Fantastic meal. Highly recommend the steak and the mac cheese was stunning. One of the best meals we've had all year. Very friendly bar staff, attentive but not overwhelming, lovely to see dogs are welcome. Fabulous views from the garden. Actually couldn't ask for more. Well done guys.

What a fantastic wedding reception we had at the Unicorn Inn! Laura was amazing setting up the garden beautifully with two marquees, the food was gorgeous and we all had such a lovely sunny day among these stunning views! We definitely recommend holding any social event at the Unicorn Inn. The sunday roasts are also delicious! Thank you so much to Laura and all for making our day extra special!

Bagettes or ploughman's available out of hours . However no draught cider available.

Very nice and clean good food and nice friendly staff.👍

I always told my children that no food is ever disgusting. However, after visiting the Unicorn today for lunch I have to use that very same word. Disgusting. I had a hot chicken wrap with herby mayonnaise. The wrap itself was chewy and leathery and as for the chicken? It were little bits of leftovers scraped off the bone and not the slices I had expected. Priced at £8 it was really not nice at all and although I am local I shall never go there again.

My Husband and I had a delicious roast at the Unicorn on Easter Sunday. It’s not always easy to get the perfect roast, but we were not disappointed, gravy was amazing, yummy Yorkshire’s and plenty of the usual sides. Lots of choice on the desert menu, good value, and spectacular views from the pub garden. We’ll be back…

proper pub with great range of boozes. Fantastic pub garden too with awesome views. A fine place to stop and chill...

food used to be good. very disappointed last time we were there . £15.00 for a venison burger chips and salad. Overpriced considering i had only 8 chips on my plate. The pork came with no vegetables at a cost of 15.00 too. we were...

Great food served by lovely people. Would recommend the Sea Bass Teriyaki and the Huss and prawn mornay. My wife and I ate here 3 times during our weeks stay in Midhurst. I only wish we has stayed another week.

Very welcoming, covid safe and great food. Definitely will visit again

Excellent classic village pub! Cracking roast potatoes too!😋

took my daughter 9n her 9th birthday with my parents. we where all treated very well and the food and service was spot on 4 our taste.

First visit for a lovely Sunday lunch. We will return.

An absolutely beautiful spot to stop for a rest on a long walk. Good beer and coffee too 😁

Great views of the south downs from the garden. Quiet location away from main roads.

Friendly staff and a fabulous location with beautiful views towards the South Downs

Lovely pub and garden. We visited as there is memorabilia at the Tangmere aviation museum. Apparently this pub was home from home for a number of pilots.

Absolutely stunning spot, I have lived in the area for many years and not discovered this gem. A friend and I had a delicious meal whilst watching the sun set from their beer garden, the most spectacular views and the staff were all very helpful and sweet. Couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised.

Two weary walkers arrived for lunch without having booked a table. They were fully booked but offered to put a gazebo up in the garden just for us so we could remain sheltered from the British, drizzly sky. We had an excellent lunch and the service was so amazing. We will definitely be back soon!

Nice little old pub in a secluded village with fine views. Popular for Sunday lunch.

Very sweet country pub with decent food

Understaffed on a busy day. Food was adequate but expensive.

Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful setting , friendly people, and delicious food, couldn't, ask for more.

Excellent food & friendly atmosphere.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Able to sit on the garden, surrounded by roses, as such a good day. With my elderly parents, both thought menu was good. Dad and I had the twice baked souffle which was very tasty. Definitely would recommend and hope...

Great local pub with fantastic scenery and staff. Will go again.

Great pub, with excellent views of the Southdowns.

Me and my partner had some lunch. We made our order. My partner ordered goats cheese salad and I ordered cottage pie . After waiting 30 mins a waitress came out and told us there is no goats cheese on the menu. So she changed...

Arrived here at 2pm today after seeing the advertising board on South Downs Way! It informed us that it was open until 6pm BUT when we arrived we were told food had finished!! Ok I understand that maybe they had turned the ovens etc off(very...

Very good food and service. Tried to book using trip advisor which said no table available. Contacted direct no problem plenty of table. Contact by phone or e mail.

What a wonderful meal. We all enjoyed the food and the magnificent view of the South downs.

Lovely country pub with excellent food

Great pub in a lovely quiet setting... tranquil gardens, good decor, friendly staff and good beer. I enjoyed the local books too, and our 2 dogs (Border Terriers for the record!) were made very welcome. Thank you.

Delicious lunch and great service!

Lovely quite location outside seating overlooking fields and beyond, wild pheasants roaming in fields. Food good ploughmans average price £7-9 same for sandwiches but good portions.

We recently had a short break in Heyshott and the Unicorn Inn was recommended as a good place to go for an evening meal. We completely agree. The Unicorn is a typical country pub with very friendly and chatty staff (especially Laura) and locals and...

Came across this little gem whilst on a long hike. What a great find the beer was kept well. Food was really great. We had BLT baguette and coronation turkey and rice salad. Staff were excellent and Covid protection spot on. Definitely pay them a...
