The best restaurants serving British food in Stedham Chichester South East

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.

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

Great food great service great visit
