The best restaurants in Chantry Horsham South East

Lovely little tearoom with delicious scones and English tea. Gluten free options available. Now getting to be regulars.

What a great find today, (the sign at St Josephs works!) just annoyed I didn't know about it before - Definitely make sure Gerston Farm is on my walk/cycle route next time I'm in Storrington. All the best guys

This is a regular for myself & a friend on our dog walks good coffee, food & doggie sausage. Can sit inside if wet but out side is beautiful right at the base of the downs. Can’t wait for it to open this year. Not long now

We had a wonderful stay last weekend; we arrived to be greeted with a warm welcome from the reception staff, our room was beautiful and had everything we needed. Dinner was delicious, a 5-course tasting menu and you can choose from a choice of 3 items for each course. The wine list is extensive and it's all on a tablet where you can select and compare a shortlist before choosing. Breakfast was equally fabulous, a huge choice made to order, and the cooked breakfast was lovely and hot (not always the case). The birds at the castle are a little noisy at sunset/sunrise - if you are sensitive to noise or want to sleep late, bring your earplugs. We weren't bothered by it though. Another review mentioned that the rooms are not sound proofed: it's a 12th century castle, and you can hear things like you would in any hotel. It wasn't a problem at all for us. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well. Amberley village is lovely for a short walk - they have the Black Horse pub which is fantastic for a drink before dinner, and the food is great there if you're not eating in the hotel. Arundel Castle and town is nearby and also worth a visit even when the castle is closed. Several independent shops and cafes, and you can walk along the River Arun too. We will definitely return to the hotel!

This is one of the best run restaurants in West Sussex with terrific food and atmosphere. They have got the lighting just right, something many restaurants get wrong. Good service despite it being a very busy evening. Excellent front of house, attentive and genuinely interested in giving customers a good evening. Highly recommended.

This was our first visit to the Old Forge but will not be the last. We went for Valentines Day and it is the first time that we have been to a Valentine's meal were there was no increase in price for the special menu. The area we were in had only 4 tables and all those present thought their food was fantastic. There is a relatively small number of choices for each course but the quality is 5 star. The venison and mushroom bon bon starter was one of the best starters I have had anywhere. Only surpassed by the rice pudding with rhubarb and ginger compote and rose petal granola. If the other courses had not also been great I would have ordered two of the dessert. The staff were all fantastic and very helpful. I cannot recommend this enough. Patrick's menu is novel, exciting and beautifully cooked

Went here for the first time to have a late lunch, coffee was lovely and so was the service - but ! The bread for the club sandwich and the eggs Benedict was very plain white and dry, for the price I was expecting a nice granary or sourdough for the club sandwich and a light fluffy muffin for the eggs Benedict. I think for a place that has special cakes if serving other food should put the same effort into the bread itself served on.

Setting is great and has lovely decor. With friendly and attentive staff. Food was good, would go again but quite pricey.

We've been coming to this lovely old gastropub from time to time over the years and we have generally enjoyed our visits. Our last venture here was to celebrate the birthday of my mother. We were 10 persons, having booked in advance and we were shown to a long table in the corner of the main room. It was cozy but it didn't lead to our being able to talk easily during the meal to everybody. Our waitress, a Polish lady was excellent. Very friendly, helpful and prepared to engage in some light hearted banter. Some of us had starters, things like whitebait and prawn cocktail which were OK. For my main course I had the chicken pie with extra gravy. Delicious. The rest of the party seemed to enjoy their food although we wondered whether there had been a change in chef since we had last been here. Somehow, the food was slightly less impressive compared to our previous visits but we couldn't really put our finger on the difference. Mum finished with an ice cream and a candle and the waitress and owner(?) came over and sang Happy Birthday with us which was nice. All in all we enjoyed our visit in this old, historic coaching inn.

14/2/25... I was enroute home from an appointment in Shoreham & felt sure that I would have to call in for a quick ☕ &🍰 stop😊👍.. Warmly greeted by Frankie & shortly after I was sat, a nice ☕ & 🍰 arrived 😋😋.. As I've mentioned on previous reviews, Frankie & her team always do their best to provide a consistent level of service..😊👍.. See you soon...👍

¡No es la primera vez que he estado ni será la última! El personal es muy amable y atento. Como siempre, la comida estaba deliciosa, especialmente el bistec y el pudín de riñón, era uno de los mejores que he comido y estaba allí con el que mi abuela solía hacerme cuando era niño en la década de 1950. No puedo esperar a volver para una segunda ayuda.

I live in Japan now, so when I’m in England I love to visit a proper country pub, and The Sportsman Inn delivered in spades. The view over the downs was beautiful, the pub itself felt cozy and genuine, and the staff were warm and friendly. I had an absolutely terrific time with a good days walk followed up by an amazing meal and then a lovely room to stay the night. I was moved to hear that this pub is fighting for its survival and is community run. It’s nice to know that the beer I drank was supporting a good cause!

Lovely food ok restaurant but the prices!! The wine list is extortionate no wonder the waitress asked, more than once, if we wanted another bottle!! Perhaps introducing a house wine would be a good idea. 12 1/2% service charge so it’s a no from me

Wonderful place for breakfast, lunch or a nice hot drink & a cake/scone. 3 areas to sit and eat, lovely and comfortable with a good choice of jacket potatoes, sandwiches, toasties and more. Fresh cakes adorn the kitchen area and have a multitude of drinks to choose from. Find a table, then go to the counter with your table number and choices, the service is quick and food is devine. Highly recommend and a lovey asset though the village.

Tuvimos una comida absolutamente increíble. Kenneth era muy servicial con excelentes recomendaciones, servicio, y creó un ambiente tan divertido! Entramos estresados y cansados y salimos alimentados y felices. ¡Gracias!
