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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

I went to the Unicorn for an early lunch with a friend. We both chose the fish and chips, which was very nice, with very light batter and "proper" chips. Ideally, I would have liked a little more choice on the menu: most of the options were meat-based and as I don't eat meat it would have been nice to see a few more non-meat dishes to choose from. That said, we both enjoyed our meals and the very polite and friendly young people who served us. We returned to the Unicorn after our walk and enjoyed a slice of delicious cake and a cup of tea. All in all it was a very positive experience and I shall be happy to recommend this pub to friends.
