The White Horse in Chichester

Visited for a family birthday meal! Service and food were both great and the restaurant is beautiful. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future. Starter: Crispy duck egg with chicken oyster Main: Guinea fowl with wild mushrooms Dessert: Cheese board

We have visited this restaurant several times, and cannot praise it highly enough. From start to finish, the quality of service and attention to detail is perfect. The dining room is charming and simply decorated. The menu is thoughtful, with daily specials, and is excellent throughout. The dishes are beautifully prepared and served by attentive staff. The wine list is short but comprehensive with a good number of excellent wines by the glass.

Today was our first visit to The White Horse, I’d been looking forward to dining here for a while and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely gorgeous, the best meal I’ve had out in a while! They had specials available for all three courses and used all local produce, even down to the still water by South Downs water. The service was impeccable, I believe Alicia served us, she was brilliant! Helpful, attentive and friendly with a lovely smile. We’ll definitely be back again and I would recommend The White Horse to anyone & everyone! Thank you.

Lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday. Lovely ambiance and decor with a very warm welcome. Delicious, well-presented food with good wine choices for all budgets (including by the glass). Attentive, relaxed and well-informed staff. A very special mention to Will who took time to chat and oversaw the service impecably. We travelled down from Hampshire and it was so worth the trip. There is no doubt that we will be back in the near future - reading other reviews would like to stay over and try the breakfast too! Also tempted to book the private dining space at some stage which looked fantastic.

What can I say?! I have never left a review before but on this occasion it has to be done. The White Horse showed hospitality at its very best, a rare find these days! From having our luggage collected on return from our walk to cosy, warm, immaculate, beautifully decorated rooms. Dinner was out of this world, 3 stunning courses for the 4 of us with beautiful wines recommended to accompany the meal. Drinks before dinner were a delight and the bar had the perfect ambiance. The attention to detail from all the staff shone through so a huge thank you to you all, especially the front of house. Working in hospitality myself, I really appreciate all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes so huge thanks to all those staff too, from the chefs and kitchen porters to the cleaners and gardeners! Not sure I can add much more other than The White Horse is definitely 5 stars and more and we’ll definitely be returning.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch. In addition to the delicious traditional Sunday roasts of beef and lamb with very tasty side dishes we enjoyed the Dover sole - a very generous size - perfectly cooked, as well as the lobster cocktail which was an unexpected treat. The décor is beautiful, the staff professional, smiling and welcoming. We all agreed the best Sunday lunch ever! Although we live in London, we have already booked to return.

I must give too many 5 stars , this deserves more, 6? We stayed 2 nights and ate dinner in the restaurant once. Really friendly, efficient service. Well appointed accommodation, good attention to detail. Quiet and dark no tiny red lights! Breakfast just right, good selection. A focus on British and local. How could it be improved? a bigger bed? US friends, don’t forget that our King size beds are your Doubles, you’d need to have a Super King in this country to get an equivalent of your King Size . I can’t now appreciate the subtleties of the wines although I enjoyed overhearing the introductions to the wines served at a neighbouring table given by a knowledgeable member of staff! I’d prefer slightly lower priced options. Already been asked for details from friends. Wonderful for a short break, very close to Petworth House, amazing art work and grounds. Great Christmas decorations in Petworth House and the White Horse!! I’ll stop for now, go yourself!

We have just enjoyed a fabulous lunch at The White Horse celebrating my mum’s 80th Birthday. From the warm welcome to the beautifully decorated private dining room to the utterly delicious food and impeccable service, we were delighted with our visit. The team genuinely couldn’t have done enough for us. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I rarely write reviews, but this place deserve all the praise. This is one of the few restaurants in the area where not only the food & presentation is top quality, but finally the service matches the expectations & price tag. Attentive, competent & passionate staff that will advise on the recommended dishes & wines to compliment the food choice. Keep up the great work guys, we'll be back.

My wife and I and two close friends enjoyed an exceptional evening at The White Horse last Saturday. We had cheekily requested lobsters on the booking platform as this was not on the published menu, although we had enjoyed it a few weeks earlier and it had been superb. From the moment we arrived the welcome was friendly and professional, the service was top notch and the food was above and beyond expectations. We started with a selection of the bar snack 'tapas' dishes, which are all beautifully prepared and make a perfect accompaniment to the Chablis.1ere Cru. One of our friends chose Hake and the rest of us shared 2 lobsters. I have no idea how Chef Grant manages to make the lobster so full of flavour and so tender but suffice it to say that it was as good as, if not better, than Scotts. We were served throughout by Alex who could not have been more attentive and professional, however, we may have overstayed as we were enjoying the experience so much. Thank you for a top drawer evening and we will certainly be back many times.

From the warm welcome on arrival and the outstanding North Downs Negroni cocktails that we had as pre dinner drinks we know we were going to be in for a treat! While browsing Chef Du Cuisine Grant Jones' mouth-wateringly tempting menu the Vieux Telegraphe 2015 Chateauneuf-du-Pape caught my eye not least because it was fairly priced and at a considerably lower cost than many fine dining restaurants in London! We both chose the sea bass tartare with Bajan spice, followed by the scallops, English lamb, cheese course and blackberry tarte. Each dish executed perfectly but with a light touch that allowed the ingredients to sing. Provenance is everything here from the day boat sourced fish to the best cheese board I've seen in a long while! Being a wine lover as much as a food lover the wine list here is something really special. At the higher end there is an array of special bottles like the Vieux Telegraphe at the lower end there are fantastic value for money wines that over deliver on their price point. An example of this is the wonderful Savoie Chignin-Bergeron from the Berthollier Bros. A lightly oaked Roussanne that will change your mind about drinking red wine with cheese for ever! The final mind blowing food and wine pairing was a chilled English Ice Cider with Grant's signature blackberry tarte. I can't think of a more sublime combination of two such quintessentially English ingredients! The after dinner Martini needed no intro! Just perfection as was our whole dining experience at the magical White Horse Graffham!

I ridiculous price of wine.one would hardly nip for an evening out however good the food.Great place.

Called in after recent refurbishment. Very elegantly done. Excellent service from all (especially Will) - would highly recommend for a drink or a meal

We had the pleasure of staying last weekend and from the moment we arrived we were utterly spoilt. The staff were brilliant, their attention to detail and approach made you feel relaxed yet completely fulfilled! We stayed in one of the rooms and nothing was not thought of here. The decor is stunning, Dyson hair dryers, coffee machines, bottled water and the most comfortable bed! Finally the food - wow!! Breakfast,Lunch and Supper we didn’t leave as you don’t need to. The menu changes daily which is a sure sign of the best and freshest ingredients being served. The dining experience was another level from presentation to quality. I can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise!

Top Notch! Beautifully refurbished to a very high standard. Not only inside but also the garden. The pub is spotlessly clean and very nicely furnished. Food was just superb. Nice sized portions, definitely home cooked, and delicious. Staff are all charming and English.

Amazing dinner, amazing decor, and even more amazing staff. Will and Josh were fabulous waiters, catering for all our needs, offering recommendations on the menu and even bringing extra mushy peas to accompany the very tasty fish and chips. Would 100% recommend!!!

We stayed overnight and enjoyed dinner and breakfast here. The restaurant is stylishly decorated with a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Will and Josh, who looked after us during our stay were very charming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food here...

What a delight to return to The White Horse after exceptionally decorated refurbishment. Great to see the same attentive team and the best Sunday Roast with extensive wine list and local ale on tap. All highlighted by the gorgeous garden with South Downs back drop.

A perfect location and so close to Goodwood. We stayed overnight after Goodwood Races and were not disappointed. Under new ownership and refurbished to a 5 star plus standard. The decor and furnishings are stunning! The food was delicious - I enjoyed the best fish...

Fantastic stay with great food and fabulous friendly staff. Couldn’t fault the ambience and quality of the amenities. Cannot wait to visit again!

This is the first time I’ve been back to The White Horse at Graffham with William, and Alex manning the fort with deft ease. The pub recently had been renovated to a high standard with chef good quality fixtures and fittings in this interesting country...

Visiting the area we booked a Sunday lunch. It didn’t disappoint tasty + well presented. Staff friendly + polite. Highly recommend.

We were in the area and were turned away from another pub and the White Horse was recommended to us so we hastily made a booking and headed to Graffham. What a find! The whole place has just had a major refurbishment to an exceptionally...

Fantastic service, all staff helpful and friendly, really enjoyed our visit. The pub has very rural peaceful setting. The food was very tasty and filling, lovely grainy mustard that I’ve not had before.

Newly re-opened and a stunning renovation and a great menu. Called in without a reservation booked. A cheerful welcome, good service (a rare thing in many places now) and a delicious lunch. A very posh pub/restaurant in a beautiful setting. Will return soon.

We visited The White Horse under COVID-19 restrictions which meant all customers were served in a marquee in the garden. They have done an excellent job to create a comfortable space with a nice atmosphere. The lunch menu whilst limited in choice had enough options for most to find something they want. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely meal that brightened a damp spring day.

Great to see you open, great service nice selection of beers and wines . Nice out seating, lovely marquee seating . Great for family’s and dogs excepted , wheel chair friendly.. hope you have a fantastic summer. Thanks for opening up

Fish 'n' chips par excellence in the warm and attractive Covid extension. Noticed the minimal Xmas decorations comprising one bauble on the deer's head and a Santa Hat on the Supercilious Statue. Tried stellar navigation. Food was perfect. Wine also. And Not Overpriced! Feel for you in these difficult times. Happy Christmas.

We had an amazing stay at The White Horse. The owner and manager were exceptional, so welcoming and friendly and attentive. The room was perfect and the food was so delicious and looked impeccable, a really eclectic menu. Would highly recommend to stay here or eat here. We’ll definitely be back.

A beautiful pub offering a wide selection of food and drink - to cater for all. The Sunday roast was incredible - not only filling but flavoursome too! I had the beef and it was tender and juicy. What topped it off was a hot sticky toffee pudding and sitting by the open fire!

As good a lunch as I have had at the White Horse in 27 years of using it. The Covid-safety extension is attractive, light and spacious. Good beer as always (Langham's Hip Hop), good selection of gins and vegan options on the menu for my two companions. My duck (though not cheap at £19) was succulent and delicious, puddings also very good.

We visited for the Sunday roast. It took about an hour for us to get our food (despite no starters) and I asked for apple sauce and extra gravy, but by the time it arrived my husband had finished eating. The food was perfectly fine, possibly good but combined with the poor service we didn't feel it was worth the £18pp. It took so long to clear our plates we ditched pudding and went elsewhere. The manager (guy in a bright coloured shirt) didn't seem fussed and even sat down to have a drink with some friends/customers.Would we eat here again? Yes, maybe. If there were no other options in the village I would give it a second chance and hope the service was better. For those worried about social distancing, it was very safe and spaced out.

The food here is spectacular, lovely produce cooked and presented to the highest standard. The service is efficient, professional and friendly. Well done all, a great experience.

We dined at lunchtime on our wedding anniversary two adults, three older children. COVID bits all in place, felt really safe and the layout of the restaurant is brilliant. I’m coeliac and the menu catered for me brilliantly. Food was exceptional as was the service. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Prices slightly punchy but fine for a special occasion. Will return.

We booked the White Horse to celebrate a birthday, and it was just the perfect night out. We could not fault all the measures they had taken to make us welcome and it felt so relaxed even though they were applying v strict social distancing/safety measures. Tables were very well spaced in the light and airy conservatory, with lovely views of surrounding countryside. The service throughout was incredible - warm, chatty, professional and their knowledge and enthusiasm for the menu options shone through.And then the food arrived. It was simply delicious! We shared tempura jalepeños with a salty, tangy blue cheese sauce - they were great, but the profiteroles with cheddar fondue are just the business, perfectly cooked, light and airy profiteroles and a rich dip - what a simple idea, but done expertly well. For mains, we had chicken and the lentil samosa - both dishes were cooked to perfection, crunchy veg, silky smooth purees, glossy sauces, crispy samosa pastry. Dessert menus often leave me uninspired and I often skip them, but not here - we were spoilt for choice. Both were great, but the earl grey creme brûlée with lemon shortbread & rich clotted cream ice cream stole the show. I have been raving about this place - it was the highlight of our birthday celebration weekend in Sussex. I will be thinking of excuses to go back there soon!

Our first overnight trip since lockdown and we couldn’t have made a better choice. We normally stay at The White Horse when visiting Goodwood and were so impressed with the steps Chris & the team had taken to make the rooms and restaurant safe for guests yet keep its great personality. The service was still friendly and the food was delicious- crab salad followed by hake - amazing - I couldn’t recommend more highly for location, rooms, food & service well done guys!

This was a lovely pub with a gorgeous garden the food and drink was fabulous and the service throughout was excellent. We were away for a celebratory weekend and went on the Friday night for dinner it was so nice we went back for Sunday lunch.

We came here for lunch and it was faultless. The menu was wonderful, with a great balance between classic pub food and something more classy. The food was high quality and delicious. It was set out very well for social distancing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Great service, I will definitely be coming back! I recommend a visit.

Set in a lovely location, we had a tasty meal and it was very relaxing there. Friendly staff.Would revisit.The garden is well thought out.

An amazing place. We had a lively meal at the white horse. Service was spot on, really good distancing and cleaning made us all feel safe. Staff really welcoming and friendly and food amazing. All really enjoyed our dinner. Thank you

Had just a night here, but would happily come back again. Everything was very well done, great service, food and a very comfortable room in a really lovely setting.

A delightful lunch today, really helpful, friendly staff. A great garden looking over the downs, relaxed atmosphere and the food was so delicious.

The duration of this stay was the definition of class & tranquility. Now as frequent guests, we were shown to our stunning room (number 6) with the shower over the bath. The room was absolutely immaculate. Spotless. Nothing in terms of cleaning quality was under par. We met the cleaner/chamber made who was absolutely lovely as well as outstanding at her job! The food is INCREDIBLE. The crab starter & the stilton profiteroles were 10/10 & the burger was good; perhaps lacking in some added extras to make it less dry. The cheese board & brownie we’re delicious. The single beds are outstandingly comfortable & the decor is tasteful & quirky. The staff at this place however are what makes it outstanding. Will, the manager, the lovely young waitress & the guy in the evening are all so good at their job. What a marvellous team. Breakfast is outstanding - only slight disappointment was not being offered the hashbrowns as offered on the menu. The breakfast is incredible - especially the compote! A beautiful stay, thanks so much!

We booked in to the White Horse for Sunday lunch as we were staying at the nearby Graffham Camping & Caravanning Club site.Booking was easy and the communication responses very prompt.On the day we arrived just before our 1pm booking, we were asked to provide a contact and trace contact and offered hand sanitiser and the staff were all wearing face masks, as it was unfortunately inclement weather we were accommodated inside in their conservatory dining area. The pub is very well presented and the dining area has been suitably socially distanced with clearly marked areas on the floor supported by notices that give instructions regarding movement around the pub. Outside the garden area is again marked out and you enter and exit separately using a one way system.All of the staff are very attentive and once we were settled our drinks order was taken, it was clearly explained that all food and drink is brought to the table on a tray which is placed on a stand. You then have to take the drinks yourselves off of the tray and the same process is used for serving meals.The only criticisms are that my wife. my daughter and my sister-in-law, being vegetarian had very limited choice ie: one main course dish, there was the option to have starters and side dishes, but when you are paying the sort of prices charged here, we would expect more main course choice. We understand that the menu may have been reduced because of Covid, but in this day and age we would still expect at least two mains to be vegetarian. Being a Sunday there was no advertised vegetarian roast option either, my wife enquired and was told yes we can do a vegetarian roast but in fact it was just the vegetables with no meat, a vegetarian roast should include an alternative to the meat, ie: a nut roast, a Quorn roast or something more imaginative? My wife also asked if there was vegetarian gravy and was told yes, but compared to the unctuous meat gravy that my brother-in-law enjoyed with his roast beef dinner it was thin and watery.The second criticism concerns the lack of vegetarian options for the children's menu, we were told they could offer a child's roast, fish and chips or sausage and mash, however, once again no vegetarian sausages or a roast alternative were available, so my daughter just ended up with a bowl of chips!Being vegetarians my wife and daughter are used to having limited choices, 15 or 20 years ago it was a common problem, however, over the years things have improved, on Sunday it felt like we were back there, so they were both disappointed.I should say that those of us who were able to order from the menu did enjoy our meals and the staff were all very good.Hopefully as lockdown and the distancing measures are relaxed their menu can expand to cater more for those who do not eat meat or just like to have to opportunity to choose something different?

Like many of us I was wary about going to a pub for lunch but the chances of seeing a friend again after months of lockdown was too big a temptation. From the moment we arrived my fears were alleviated. The safety measures put in place have been carefully thought through. Tables in the garden (which by the way is one of the prettiest in West Sussex) have been laid out in such a way as to socially distance but without making it feel remotely uncomfortable. Will, as always, provided excellent service and the food was delicious. We both opted for a hamburger. Boring you might think but I have been hankering after a burger for months and neither my friend nor I were disappointed. Delicious skinny fries added to the overall enjoyment of a really lovely lunch. I cannot recommend this pub more highly.

We had great welcoming from Robin who showed us to our lovely room with nice view; lovely cosy room with a king size bed beautifully decorated. We had dinner which was lovely food and the service was friendly and relaxed then a fantastic breakfast the next morning. what more could you ask for.

What a wonderful meal we had last night to celebrate a milestone birthday! Beautiful conservatory, amazing food & truly great service. So highly recommend. Would love to return. Thank you. X

Faultless. A charming country pub at the foot of the South Downs, which made something very special look effortless.Delicious food, beautifully presented and cooked to order: I enjoyed mackerel escabeche, cod with clams, chorizo and turnip, and then a date and apricot cake with various naughtinesses like caramelised banana. Everybody enjoyed their choices, with particular mention of the mushroom soup with roasted chestnuts, and the burger. My vegan daughter was delighted to be offered a choice of dishes - this was clearly not an issue.What made this such a special evening was the warmth of the welcome and the great service - I was genuinely able to relax as host, knowing that my guests were being looked after. It’s a tricky balance to achieve between warmth and unobtrusiveness, but Robin and Will got it spot on. And Will led the best rendition of Happy Birthday ever!

Wow... Just wow.We decided that we needed a weekend away without the kids to just relax.... And this place was just practically perfect in every way. The staff were super efficient and extremely friendly, the food created a party on my tongue, the environment was pristine and our room was exceptional, from the under floor heating to the most cosy blankets known to mankind! We had an amazing weekend of stomping around the glorious local countryside, great food and a welcoming atmosphere.We would HIGHLY recommend

Very good food and a cosy pub (January) with a sunlit extension. Friendly staff who looked after us well. Not our first visit and it won't be our last! On Sundays they do all sorts of roasts with yorkshire pudding regardless of whether it is beef or not!

Fantastic! Beautiful spot and very friendly staff all round, lovely accommodation and reasonable price, thoroughly recommended!!

We were given a weekend away from our daughter & son in law as part of our Christmas present, and what a present it was. The welcome on arrival was wonderful, we were greeted like we were family, nothing was too much trouble. The setting is an old fashioned bar with a roaring fire in the hearth with a clean modern twist, very cosy and full of character. The staff ( I hesitate to call them staff as they were more than that) were attentive without being intrusive, the room we were shown to was clean, warm, comfortable and cosy, the bathroom was delightful and spacious, both rooms came with underfloor heating which was a joy as it was very cold outside. Here, comfort and caring is top of their agenda. We ate in their restaurant in the evening and the food was plentiful and cooked to perfection. We can recommend the mussels followed by their steak, no room for desert (shame). We will however be going back again. We can highly recommend this venue. The only problem I can foresee is not being able to get a room because it is so popular. Thank you Robyn and Will / see you soon.Ann & Adrian / London

A little off the beaten track but well worth the effort to get here. An interesting menu and good local beers (although the Hip Hop was a little past its sell by date when we visited). Would be a good place to come to on a warm summer's evening!

Stayed for one night, with my husband in the last weekend of October.This is a lovely Pub with first class amenities, great food, beautiful quiet rooms, and fantastic service.Perfect base to explore this beautiful corner of England.Everything was spotless clean. Comfortable bed and lovely countryside views from ours room windows.We had breakfast and dinner at the Pub and the food was delicious. The staff was always kind and helpful during all the time of our wonderful stay.We visited Bosham, Chichester, Petworth , all at an easy drive from White Horse.I can not recomend this place enough. We will return!

My partner Took me here to celebrate a big birthday. A lovely place, our room was large with views to the front and rear. The meal was excellent but I think the best part is the welcome and the service. Will even sang happy birthday to me! The pub part is really cosy then the restaurant is separate. There could have been more choice on the menu but what we did have was delicious. The bed was very comfortable and it was so quiet there we slept well. Would definitely recommend it and we would hope to get back again.

Very warm welcome, friendly staff and couldn’t do enough for you. Room excellent with lovely South Down views and good choice of breakfast! Left cardigan by mistake and kindly offered by post at no charge. Bar had a very good choice of drinks! We will be returning! Very good value for money,

My partner and I were looking for a typically British Countryside break for a couple of days for our Anniversary and I stumbled upon the White Horse.

Very rare my work takes me to this area but needed some where to stay for one night.

Very good food, very good service. They have rooms all of which looked very comfy. The restaurant is relaxed but great food, friendly Well worth a visit

Nestled at the foot of the downs this pub is picture postcard perfect and a very special location. Staff very smiley and funny, if a little over prescriptive on the dog front. It’s a very English beauty spot. Sadly, food on this day let them down. Roast pork that was dried out and no crackling, just floppy fat layer. Roast potatoes could hold a door open they were that rock hard. Shame, we had such high expectations. Couldn’t fault anything else about the venue, it’s pretty.

Just returned from a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend staying at The White Horse in Graffham. I don’t usually write reviews but was bowled over by the welcome we received and our lovely stay at this fantastic pub b&b; nestled just beneath the South Downs Way. Our room, in a beautifully converted old out building/stable block was really well appointed, very clean and had lots of nice touches; flowers from the pub garden, cold fresh milk for our tea and a really comfortable bed. Supper was utterly delicious, ditto breakfast (which sustained us for a 15 mile hike) and the service from Will, George and the team was exemplary; warm, friendly, proactive and helpful but not intrusive. It felt like we had gone to stay with old friends. Heartily recommend.

Gorgeous place in the country, relaxed ambience, lovely fresh food, gluten free friendly. Absolutely superb.

Sunday lunch on a walking day with 5 friends. This place had style - the staff were savvy and attentive; the place looked good; the seats were comfortable and well spaced. Good selection of drinks. The food was excellent. The only niggle was that service was a mite slow but more than compensated for by the view. We walked on to Midhurst refreshed.

From the moment we set foot in the place yesterday it was like you were instantly made too feel like family

This is the second time we have visited White Horse Graffham and we can honestly say as with the previous stay it was absolutely stunning! We last visited back in feb this year as a couple and fell in love so come back as a family stay this time!

Absolutely wonderful. 5 stars!! Couldn’t recommend it more 5 star service with a smile. Food is out of this world

Me and my friends went earlier today as we were biking and we had a perfect welcoming with beautiful decorations and perfectly clean room then after this amazing greeting we sat at the table and ordered some muscles and they were the best I ever had! Absolutely would recommend to everyone

Visited here for the second time yesterday with a friend, just before lunch finished we managed to grab some fish and chips in the garden before they closed the kitchen. Have been here on one previous visit for a drink with family. The look and atmosphere of the pub is lovely, super friendly team, lovely quiet location. Would recommend highly & look forward to returning again soon.

My husband and I arrived on a hot Thursday, May 23rd 2019 - having walked about

We have a lovely stay, the rooms are done to top spec, the food was fantastic had a good wine list, breakfast was outstanding, the views from our room are breathtaking, will and the girls who ran the pub are so nice friendly helpful, if we are ever in Sussex again will definitely be there

Food was really good . Hot plates Good portions Attentive staff Restaurant looking onto garden which had lovely lighting

Just had the most amazing dinner for 32 people on Saturday night in the conservatory to celebrate our birthdays.

My husband and I have just been luckily enough to stay here for two nights. I was looking for a quiet getaway and was not disappointed! The room was beautiful with the most comfortable bed. Views were truly stunning and the food just amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect. A special mention must go to Carys (apologies if that is not the correct spelling) who served us in the evening. She was attentive, informative but also really funny. Would highly recommend this place. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Stayed for 2 nights. Evening meals - both nights. Very comfortable room - lashings of hot water - underfloor hearing. Evening meals were fab - the asparagus and goats cheese starter was banging. Nice bar. Nice open wood fire. We were well looked after by all the staff. Location was great for our one day walk to the Bignor Roman Villa and back via the South Downs Way (the lovely bath was most welcome).

I have visited twice recently and had a wonderful meal! Our first meal was a Sunday roast, followed by a Friday night meal. The roast itself was wonderful and even though we turned up not long before the kitchen was due to close the staff were more than happy to have us! The food was wonderful and we had service with a smile which is then why we booked a few weeks later for a family dinner on a Friday night. We all had a wonderful meal where lovely drinks and food of wonderful portion sizes were served and the staff again were so wonderful and smiley. We all left saying what a wonderful evening it was with fantastic food and how great and smiley the staff were. (thank to Will and a very lovely and smiley waitress!). We will definitely recommend to friends and family and be back again soon ourselves! (also lovely beer and a wide range of gins).

We stayed here overnight on 26th March, having never visited the area before.

Will is an outstanding host, very personable and thoughtfully attentive. Great gin selection with interesting local and more renowned brands. Enjoyed the variety of options on the wine list, also at reasonable prices. Food menu is largely English pub done well, with a few touches of more contemporary cuisine. Great quality and prices, the only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars is because the dishes didn’t quite have the complexity of flavour that some of the photos we saw online suggested. Lovely ambience and decor, loved the cosiness of the fire. We also stayed overnight and the rooms are very pleasant, with a comfy bed and nice touches such as the well presented tea/coffee tray.

Set in the West Sussex South Downs the White Horse encompasses Comfort, Quality, Luxury and Value.

We came on Christmas Eve for a drink and the atmosphere was great! The staff where so bubbly and friendly! We then returned today ‘sunday’ to try their roast dinner... And it was bloody lovely!

Enjoyed Sunday lunch here again recently with family members. A cold, sunny day with great views while we ate lunch in the conservatory. Very busy restaurant, somewhat noisy due to a large family group. The service and the food was of a high standard, as usual. We enjoyed a mixture of dishes including roast chicken, roast beef, fish & chips as well as a specially prepared dish of vegetables for one of our vegetarian daughters. Highly recommended.

Super Sunday, best spicy Bloody Mary, Roast Pork with crackling delicious with freshly prepared vegetables. Attentive friendly and welcoming staff made the day.

Very nice pub with a large car park in lovely location. Friendly welcome and nice fresh contemporary interior. Good wine and food and attentive service. Will visit again.

We chose the white horse as it was the perfect distance between Petersfield and Amberley on our SDW section. It turns out it was an excellent choice. Great food (evening meal and breakfast), great room and warm welcome from a pub well integrated into the local community.A true gem that deserves recognition. Would definitely recommend.

Had a very pleasant lunch here on Sunday. Often visited their previous pub in Petworth, so managed to find their latest operation after fellow Tripadvisors answered my query. The welcome was very good, great staff, nice location and tasteful restaurant set up. The food was as good as their last restaurant and we enjoyed a very good plate of charcuterie and a goats cheese mousse, followed by roast beef and roast pork. The meat was very flavoursome and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. All in all, worth the one hours drive to the restaurant.

Booked a meal for after our perfect day out at Woolbeding Gardens. We arrived early and were allowed in to enjoy a drink on the patio, watching the Sun set. Sublime! The team pulled out all the stops again and produced 3 lovely meals for us. All the staff were attentive and friendly. A real find off the beaten track and worth visiting. Thank you.

I was coming out of the village and saw this lovely place , very welcoming parking and great facade .It does invite you to come inside and checked the drinks list and try a couple.I got talking to a couple of staff.The place looks really good insid and the garden was looking amazing under the sun at lunchtime.The waiter I talked to and the barman and the drinks were very good.I m going to return very soon and try the lunch and dinner menus.I read them and they sound quite appealing.

A great place to eat. Fabulous food, very attentive service, amazing roast beef and yummy puddings. We will be returning again soon.....

Had to post to say THANK YOU. Chris, Will and all the staff that we encountered on our stay (that due to family illness was 'cut short' by one night) were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The room was exquisite as was the fabulous bath. The food was divine and the wine chilled to perfection. We were 'robbed' of our full stay by circumstance but be sure when life calms down a tad we will be returning to 'conclude' our White Horse adventure <3

This is a delightful country inn with a terrific menu, especially if you like seafood. Good value for money and a lovely ambiance. Staff are friendly and attentive without being in any way intrusive and the food is simply delicious. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing Dinner, the Hotel room was perfect as was the bath. Then in the morning the brilliant manager guy (I've forgotten his name) even gave us a lift to the bus stop as my wife's blisters were so bad.

Stopped off here for Sunday lunch , sunny hot day so sat outside in the garden , really nice setting really nice clean upmarket pub , friendly staff , very helpful and really professional. All four of us ordered roast beef and it was excellent and we all had a sweet it was all

Had a great weekend the white horse was brilliant great rooms great food and great staff thank you!!😁

Have visited this gorgeous, quaint pub over the last 2 months. Ample parking. Stunning South Downs panoramic views. Always greeted on arrival. Local ales. Great wine list. Food menu seasonal, and, in my opionion, well priced for the very high standard of food served. Have taken very close friends here and all agreed that, at present, this pub beats all local surrounding pubs hands down.....this includes the half moon in kirdford and the horse guards in tillington, which we have visited over the last 6 months.

Only stayed one night but everything about this upmarket inn simply oozes quality. The food was wonderful, the staff were excellent, great accommodation and a good choice of well kept ales......so everything I want for a weekend escape. Highly recommended.

We had a big family lunch. We turned up late but the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was great - plates were almost licked clean. Good food, great service. Highly recommended.

We stayed here for three nights and were greatly impressed overall. We were met on arrival by a very friendly and helpful member of staff and shown to our room. The room was in a converted barn/stable/outbuilding and was very spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. There was a large double bed which was very comfortable , There was a tv in the room a small wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The bathroom had a toilet, wash hand basin and a shower over the roll top bath. Clean towels were provided daily and there were plenty of toiletries provided..

What a hidden gem. The bar service is perfect knowledgeable with recognition well done. They even remembered my white preference.
