The food here is excellent, but the hospitality leaves much to be desired. I met up with friends I hadn’t seen in ages for a nice lunch. We asked if they’d be closing to prepare for dinner, and they assured us that while the kitchen would close, we were welcome to stay for drinks. When I asked again to confirm, the lady replied warmly, “absolutely, you can stay.” However, the bartender’s attitude suggested otherwise; he seemed visibly annoyed that we were still there. Later, as we tried to order more drinks, I noticed him exchanging disapproving glances with an older gentleman who had welcomed us earlier. It was clear they didn’t want us there. If they preferred us to leave, they should have been upfront rather than making us feel unwelcome. It’s a shame because the food was great, but the poor treatment was enough to ruin the experience. I won’t be returning.

Stayed here overnight to spend some time in the countryside after a busy few weeks. First impressions were good- public area and bedroom were stylishly decorated, spacious bathroom and nice hospitality tray with fresh milk in the fridge which is always welcome. A bit surprised to see a gun safe in the room, which perhaps suggests the clientele they're aiming for. On a warmer day the terrace would've been a lovely place to have a drink. This is very much a dining establishment rather than an actual pub, so food is the focus. Friendly attentive service. We enjoyed our starters, garlic prawns and beetroot salad, particularly as my preference for blue cheese rather than feta was accommodated. Mains were fine- pork belly (although the black pudding bonbon was a bit dry) and fish and chips, which I only chose as the menu was quite limited. Crumble was nice, but I struggled to finish the pear frangipane tart which was rather dry and stodgy rather than luscious and almondy and needed the custard and icecream. After dinner we would normally enjoy sitting in the bar with a couple more drinks or coffee,but by 9pm on Saturday evening it was pretty empty so lacked atmosphere and we retired early. We understand the difficult environment facing hospitality, but perhaps the relatively high prices have deterred the local trade. We had a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed with quality linen, although the central heating pipes are quite noisy. Attention to detail was a bit lacking in the bathroom -I'm sure they know the wall behind the towel rail needs repainting, but the grouting and sealant in the shower cubicle would benefit from a toothbrush dipped in mould remover, the lovely rain showerhead needs descaling and the vent needs a good vacuum. We also bled the bedroom radiator as it wasn't heating up! Breakfast was very good quality, the mushrooms in particular were delicious with good coffee. The hosts are clearly aiming for quality, and we enjoyed our stay, but it's probably more for a special occasion, as we felt it lacked the buzzy local country pub vibe that we enjoy.

We had a warm and friendly welcome. The service was excellent as was the food. Every detail well thought out including the interesting bread/ biscuit? with the coffee. The ambience was smart / relaxed and the staff willing to chat and make us feel welcome. We really enjoyed our meal. If you are looking for interesting freshly cooked food this is for you, if you want large portions of cheap pub grub and fast service maybe not. This is a place for a special meal with proper napkins not paper serviettes. The decor looked fresh and modern. Lots of space and different table arrangements.

This restaurant within the White Horse Inn is tucked away in Sutton, England. It comes highly recommended with an extensive menu with Asian influences. The staff were delightful, attentive, warm and friendly. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food was generous and tasty. We commenced with the beetrot salad which the chef kindly split between us. The earthy sweetness of the beetroot paired with citrus flavours was an intelligent pairing. It was the dish of the day! Moving onto mains we shared the Asian platter for two, consisting of squid, chicken and pork with accompanying sauces. The tempura squid is some of the best we have tasted. The asian salad also popped! Unfortunately the satay chicken skewers and pork belly slices were a little dry, I suspect having been pre prepared for service. The chicken and prawn curry was tasty (without any real spice) and a nice way to complete the meal. We finished the evening with cheese platters which were enpointe. All in all a lovely evening with great wines to match. Would highly recommend it.

This is where we go when we want something a little special - the food is a mixture of pub food raised to a higher level and a few slightly more adventurous dishes. The head chef, Ben Miller, as well as offering pub classics (eg fish and chips, burgers, etc) has a regularly changing menu of more varied and adventurous dishes (often of an Asian influence ). The quality of the food is always excellent (often sourced locally) - fresh, flavourful and always well cooked and beautifully presented. There is an excellent selection of wines, and well kept beers and lagers. Billy and Emma run ‘front of house’ - they and their team provide relaxed, informal, attentive service in a friendly, helpful, professional and efficient manner. The attention to detail displayed in the food and service is excellent. There is always a lovely ambience of people happy and enjoying themselves.

It was our 40th Wedding anniversary so we decided to have a small family get together and chose the White Horse Inn to stay at for a few days and to meet up with other family members for a nice meal. From arrival, the staff were courteous and helpful, the rooms were decorated to a high standard but cozy and comfortable. The service was quick and the level of cleanliness was very high. The setting of the pub was in a tranquil West Sussex village of Sutton that was quiet and very attractive with lots of local walks. We found that the pub was well situated for us to make easy visits to local attractions such as the Bignor roman villa, Arundel Castle and Portsmouth (for the Spinnaker). As for the food, served at the pub, it was superb fare. There was a good choice of options on the menu such as fish dishes (skate, octopus) various meats (Thai style pork belly, excellent sirloin steak) various vegan options and more. Between us we had several of the dishes and they were all very well presented and extremely tasty. We felt that the food wasn't of a gastro-pub style but equivalent to a high-end restaurant quality and taste. Also the prices were very reasonable for the quality delivered. Overall we were very impressed by the setting and facilities - it was a good choice to stay and relax for a few days. We would highly recommend the place to eat and stay.

We visted on Valentines evening and wow, wow, wow. We have eaten here several times previously and it has always been good but now that Ben Miller, the new chef is on board, the food is just on another level. In fact I'd say it's one of the best meals I've eaten in a very long time. To also mention the extremley professional GM, Billy and his wife Emma who have got everything just right, the mood, lighting, atmosphere, just perfect, you instantly feel relaxed when entering. Emma also went to a lot of trouble creating lovely origami Valentines bows and folded all the napkins beautifully. We will definitely be visiting again soon. Can't wait.

Although we are regular diners at the wonderful White Horse Inn, I haven't posted a review for a while, but thought it was about time I gave it another hugely deserved shout out. It's simply lovely, and we count ourselves very lucky to have it within easy striking distance of our home. If you haven't been lately, you really must try the shellfish bisque of king prawns, mussels and scallop, or the truffled potato espuma over soft-poached egg with pommes paille. Just heaven on a plate! But if you just want something more straightforward, like fish and chips, they can certainly deliver, and I challenge you to find better cooked battered fish. To be fair, whatever you order, it will be sublime, as Ben Miller, the head chef, is brilliant. So superb food is a foregone conclusion if you visit but you'll also receive a warm welcome and outstanding service from Billy, Emma, and the rest of the team. Trust me, they are super-professional and don't put a foot wrong. And...being an Inn, they of course have rooms, which are also rather special, so perfect if you're planning a weekend in West Sussex.

Billy and his team could not have been more welcoming and the service is really brilliant, not only at mealtimes (Billy even leant us a map for our walk!). The food is excellent and the rooms have evidently been designed by someone who knows what they want when they stay in a hotel. Every little thing seems to have been thought of. Make a booking.

Had an excellent experience all round, the menu was varied and the food was superb with service to match. Having been in Hospitality my whole working life running a Large multi unit Resort Operation in the Caribbean as well as also owning and running my own Hotel and Restaurant I know just how difficult it is to get the small details right which are in abundance here. From splitting a complex starter into three beautiful plates, to allowing a new member of staff to open our wine under the watchful eye of what I assume was the Manager, it just deserves to be a success, and proves that you get what you pay for as it is not cheap but uses ingredients of obvious freshness and real quality. I had the veal with sweetbreads and my two guests the Halibut as a main course, a fish that demands care and subtle saucing. Both were excellent and the scallop starter that they willingly split for us to enjoy was superb. Well done, we shall be back .

What a wonderful meal we had last night to to celebrate our anniversary. The White Horse has always been a very special place to us and it continues to be so. Always warm and welcoming and we love the cosy pub feel - a mix of all my favourite things. The quietly careful attention to detail and friendly professional service together with wonderful food cooked to perfection make this gastropub a hidden gem! They have a wonderful selection of wines and serve the most amazing and delicious food. I had the scallops to start followed by the lamb (fabulous, best this year) and my husband had the squid followed by the Thai curry. Cannot wait to return. Thank you! Booking is a must for dinner.

first time here and what a great place. From the first welcome to the very end, we felt at home. The food was far beyond 'pub grub' and I agreed with some reviews that the portions are on the small side for the price but I'd rather have that and enjoy every mouthful & I mean every mouthful, of three courses than have mediocre over filled plates. I cannot wait to return.

My partner and I stayed for two nights in August while attending a wedding. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The room was beautiful, incredibly well appointed and very comfortable. Everything had been very thoughtfully put together. We drank at the bar, had dinner and breakfast. The food was very good and the glasses of the local Tinwood fizzy were wonderful - and served in chilled glasses. The staff were incredibly helpful and very friendly, offering advice about local walks and lots of info about the vineyards the wine had come from. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the White Horse, and plan to return so we can explore more of the area.

What a pleasant surprise to find the White Horse well and truly back to form. Hadn't visited for a few years with the most recent visit giving the distinct impression of a place going downhill fast. New owners (okay, not that new, they've been there 5 years apparently) have done a great job. The White Horse is once again a hidden gem. I enjoyed a lovely lunch in very pleasant surroundings on my way to the races at Goodwood. The food (Fillet of Haddock in 'Langham Best' Batter with hand-cut Skin-on-Chips) was excellent, particularly when washed down with a couple of pints of Langham Best itself. Really looking forward to visiting the White Horse again when I next go to Goodwood in September. Well done to all at the White Horse!

A fabulous place. Met up with family for a coffee before a wonderful walk which took us through some beautiful scenery, past pretty cottages, and a trout fishery. Then back to the Inn after 2.5 hours walking for a well earned summer lunch. The service,...

Relaxed, welcoming,attentive staff. The liver and bacon the best I've had - ever. The Session beer is recommended if you like your beer bitter.

Sunday lunch at the White Horse was a real treat. The pub is best described as a ‘gastro pub’ with a chef that delights your tastebuds. The Sunday lunch menu had three roasts to choose from and five other main courses. The staff attentive and...

A simply apocalyptic weather evening! A warm welcome and lovely food. Gin cured chalk stream trout rather overpowered by the chili ketchup rather spoiled what would have been a truly lovely starter but herb crusted baked hake utterly delicious. Very much to be recommended.

We were booked into this room as a gift from a family member. I looked at the website and saw parking was available and they had a late licence. I called before our visit to check parking would be available as it is right in the city centre. I also asked for our room to be away from the noise from the late licence. I was assured by a male member of staff that parking would be available and as our room was at the rear of the hotel we would be ok for the noise. On arrival there was no parking. I had to leave my partner in the car and go into the pub/hotel for advice. It was a tiny reception desk at the end of the bar. I was told to park in the multi storey car park nearby and they would cover the cost in the morning. Not the stress free start we were promised on the website. Apparently they have no way of stopping anyone from using their spaces. The room was dated and cold. There was a portable heater to use which we did. The disposable ear plugs were a worry but I just hoped they were for really light sleepers. On return to the hotel at about 11pm, after a meal the music was loud and it was packed. Its basically a full on nightclub. The noise in the room was horrendous. the music was coming through the walls and the floor. It was gone 3am before the music died down enough to sleep. We were too tired to even attempt breakfast and when I complained about the noise, the lady just said she was told it was busy last night. I was told I had to complain to management via emails to get a refund. When I first complained it was declined because the website states there will be noise. I had to send a further message to underline my situation and complaint. Eventually they agreed and refunded the full amount. Now if you want a room above a nightclub because you are going to the nightclub then this hotel will be perfect as you wont want to sleep before 3am. Any other guests please be aware it is loud and very busy. I must state I am not reviewing the club or pub as I didn't use either. The photos show a tired room and it needs a overhaul. It is great for being right in the city centre. If it wasn't for the parking and the noise it would have been a different review. The 2 stars are for the location and the staff who were very polite.
