The best restaurants in Bury Chichester South East

Excellent local village shop and outside cafe type seating area, for tea and snacks etc. Good car park.

We have been a couple of times to the Squire and Horse, and on both occasions the food has been fantastic. Good size portions and beautifully arranged on the plates.

The Forrester Arms in Graffham, Petworth is one of the best kept secrets in West Sussex. A pub with a genuine local friendly atmosphere added to a unique international menu with dishes not found in other pubs. The food, the atmosphere and the friendly and caring customer service offered by owner David and his staff are simply exemplary. A visit to the Forrester Arms Graffham for drinks and/or a meal indoors or in their beer garden is a must and worth the drive to West Sussex.

Chef Ravi rose magnificently to the curry challenge! I managed to down about half my venison and prawn curries, served with rice and condiments, but luckily my companion finished his grilled skewer and demolished the rest. Terrific to have authentic Indian food available in Graffham (on special request). Bravo to the the White Horse for extending its excellent range.

Unable to rate the rooms as we didn't stay here but what I did see of the pub - I LOVED!! It's warm and welcoming with a large fire to the left as you go in. We didn't eat here either but the menu looked lovely and I've included a photo of that. It's a dog friendly pub too which was nice. Spacious with what appeared to be a lovely outdoor seating area (it was raining today so we didn't brave it). Definitely looking forward to going back!! Plenty of on-site parking too which was a nice touch.

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.
