The best restaurants in Walberton Arun South East

Beautiful views in this gorgeous old pub, the food is really fresh and there are always different specials beside the regular menu. I had the fresh crab salad and it was! Very fresh! Fabulous avocado salsa and perfect new potatoes, my husband had the beef and mushroom home made pie, he said it was the best he’d ever had, the staff are lovely and friendly, well behaved dogs welcomed. Definitely our new regular.

Private 50th party for 14 on Saturday which had been arranged since October. Liaising with the team to prepare the event was brilliant. Catherine supported every step and once the menu was decided the wine pairings were excellent. We had pre-dinner drinks in the cellar with some delicious nibbles. Main courses were fantastic and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the mash! Service was impeccable and huge thanks to Luke, Ellen and the whole team for making the whole evening go so smoothly. The ambience was great and topped with a fabulous over night stay in an incredible room, we couldn’t have asked for more. Huge thanks to the team, we will be back. Plus, many of our guests had never visited The Pig before and they were very impressed.

We had a surprise 80th birthday meal for my mum Jill, and Louise was absolutely amazing in helping us decide various options in the run up. The food was so delicious and great value, service friendly and relaxed, and brilliant atmosphere. Mum had the best time..we all did! Thank you to all the fab team at the Spur. 👍😃

Stayed for one night in the area and found this little gem on Google for breakfast. Really friendly staff and lovely food. We bought some bread and cakes in the shop to take home. Definitely visit again if in the area.

We have dinner here at least once a mth since moving to the area 4 years ago. Very friendly staff , polite, attentive without being too much. Great food ! And a great price. You can even bring your dog in one side of the pub/restaurant which is handy if you have just been on a long walk and need to refuel. The garden is pretty especially in the summer. They also have a venue room I believe with skittles, and they hold classic car meets. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended the fish finger sandwich yummy. Very well done to all of you.

Popped in yesterday with my dad only had 2 drinks but seems a nice locals sorta pub. Friendly staff and average prices 👍would visit again

Very Disappointed. My partner and I had pre ordered a 3-course dinner from a set menu at this beautiful hotel for Valentine’s Day and were very excited about it. Upon arrival we were the first to be sat, and was told a glass of Prosecco and tap water will be arriving shortly. 25 Mins later our starter arrived, before our drinks. The starter tasted very bland and to be honest tasted like supermarket food. The BBQ sauce for the antipasti im pretty sure is just Heinz BBQ sauce. 10 mins into our starter our glass of Prosecco and tap water finally arrived. At this point there were only half a dozen of tables, not very busy. Our mains arrived promptly after, and were greeted with dry and bland chicken and fondant potato was just awful. Having finished our mains, the plates sat at the side of the table for about 30mins, no one came over to check on us or offer us any drinks. We then waited a further 20 mins for our desserts by which point we had ran out of patience and asked a waitress for the bill. Then a young chap dumps a jug or water on our table, despite already having one and then that same waitress brings us 1 of our 2 desserts, I assume to try and change our minds but having waited nearly an hour for just the desserts, enough was enough. We met a lovely couple who sat next to us who started to have them same problems we did. By this point the restaurant was full and the staff were working very hard but were lacking the basics of customer service. It seemed very unorganised and frantic. We got 50% of the bill but still doesn’t make up for a horrid time. I will stress this is solely based on the restaurant and not the hotel itself. Having worked in the industry myself I understand reviews like this aren’t pleasant, especially when you’ve worked hard but hopefully it will be used constructively.

My husband and I had a two night stay here, courtesy of our eldest son and daughter-in-law for our joint 60th birthdays. We didn't want to leave. The Pig in the South Downs is just perfect. We were spoilt with an upgraded room, a lovely glass of local sparkling wine and complimentary Piggy Fours. The room was just beautiful, the high quality feather pillows and duvet, the crisp white sheets, bath sheets that were actually a proper size and the lovely selection of teas just made everything so special. The restaurant and bar areas were thoughtfully furnished and decorated, the open fire was divine as was the food. But the absolute icing on the cake were the staff. I cannot fault them. They had clearly been trained well, were knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. The service was impeccable and on a very busy weekend, they just made our stay more special. Even the delightful chap who raked the gravel every day, was happy to stop for a chat! To top it all the sunshine was ordered for the whole weekend! I am positive we will be back.

Met with family visiting Arundel on a Sunday lunch time. Had not been to this pub before although have been to Arundel on many occasions to eat , we had never ventured up as far as the Cathedral area. Crikey , the pub is really good. This place is a traditional Sussex pub newly refurbished , with a fresh vibe, whilst maintaining its historic roots . The dining room is light and airy , combining a blend of traditional furniture and funky artwork. The staff are very welcoming . I had the Sea bass in a tomato stew with , samphire , spinach and baby potatoes. The fish was cooked perfectly and was on a bed of scrummy fish enhancing vegetables . The tomato stew was , deeply flavoursome and very moreish. One of our group had fish and chips. Yes this is a pub staple dish and so often disappointing. Not disappointing at this pub . The fish was moist and perfectly cooked , encased in a flavoursome thin batter , that did not overpower the fish. The homemade chips …..oh the chips! They were spectacular. The others had traditional Sunday lunch. Generous portions of local perfectly cooked medium rare beef with a lovely range of flavoursome vegetables, perfectly crisp roasties and great gravy. Our server Kelly was truly awesome. Will definitely be visiting again.

What’s happened? Ordered a takeaway and this is nothing like the old food. Noodles, rice seem the same but the meat… everything is considerably worse. Gutted to see this place move into bland microwave zone. Let’s see if this is the end for me here…
