The best restaurants in Stedham Chichester South East

Only called in for ice cream but this is a lovely little shop with very friendly staff. Local produce available and a good range.

My partner and I popped into the bluebell whilst walking the South Downs on Sunday 13th April. Very friendly staff, great food and beer at sensible prices. What a breath of fresh air! Will certainly go back.

the advert is incorrect. No hot food /soup/lunch. only cake coffee/tea. lovely setting bright and airy in the greenhouse

We last visited this excellent restaurant in 2019, and returned for lunch. The staff were most attentive, the restaurant beautifully appointed. The lunch/all day menu is freshly prepared throughout,of excellent quality and delicious. The wine list is small but select. There is a choice of seating at table in the restaurant, in the lounge or outdoors under parasols overlooking the croquet lawn. The staff were more than happy to accommodate our one year old grandson.

Such a shame! This is a “destination pub” set in the most glorious position to enjoy fabulous English countryside views. The menu was somewhat lacking. The diet cokes were flat. The dog bowls in the garden had no water. I asked at the bar if I could have a glass of water to top one up. Was given a giant bowl to take out (which was great, other than trying to get through the door with 2 drinks, a dog and a bowl of water…….just thought one of the staff could have recognised the situation and helped as the pub was not busy at all!!). Ordered the sausage baguette and was told it came with chips - there were literally 5 chips on the plate. (Lucky I knew my husband would want an extra portion as he had just run 26km cross country and would want something substantial). The sausages were greasy and grizzly; the chips were not hot, the salad was wilted. I had already paid for the meal and flat cokes and Hubby went in to buy two beers - we were charged for everything again! (Genuine mistake and they refunded straight away). The ladies toilet did not flush properly. I have to say - I am normally the person who gives cracking reviews - but this was not a pleasant experience in any way. (Other than the lovely views). Guys - you need to up your game - simple pub food is not that difficult, and staff should be geared up to provide a fun, happy, interactive good service. (By fun - I mean staff who are enjoying their job, by happy - I mean service with a smile, by interactive - I mean a good personality). As I say - most customers would need to drive to this pub, or aim for it during a country walk - It should be a place to return to time and time again.

We went here for a family meal. I enjoyed the get-together but found the service quite slow and we had to wait a long time for our food to arrive. The pub was also very quiet at the time, so it meant there was a lack of atmosphere, which was disappointing for a Saturday night.

We stayed at the Hamilton arms this weekend. First and foremost the accommodation was outstanding. 5 star in my opinion. The attention to detail in the suite was first class, beautiful interior and furnishings, a fridge and coffee machine, hairdryer and make up mirror. The Hamilton arms itself is an idyllic pub and the Thai restaurant is first class, we had the vegetarian set menu and it was amazing! The family that have owned the arms for 35 years clearly take great pride in their business and all the staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you.

To start with we had to wait 1 hr and 30 minutes for our meal then my meal was not very warm and the meal size was very small more like a starter

We visited here by chance whilst staying nearby on Saturday and we were so impressed. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and helpful and the food was EXCELLENT! Beautiful spot for a sunny afternoon drink as well. Thanks so much!

Great food great service great visit
