The best restaurants serving British food in Chanctonbury Horsham South East

My husband & I had an impromptu lunch on Friday afternoon. We decided on something local with great food, The White Lion is my first choice, in my area. I visit many times with my husband or girlfriends & haven’t once had a bad meal. Friday’s lunch was just as good as always. We chose from the new spring menu, which had lots of mouth watering dishes. I chose the beer battered haddock, skinny fries & mushy peas, my husband enjoyed the beef burger, which was, just as delicious. My fish, was white & flaky & the batter was light & crisp, not at all greasy. I also had a glass of Nyetimber, as the sun was out & the garden area is so pretty. We followed our main with the strawberry & lime cheesecake… this was “to die for”, so good, just a pity we shared it, I could have eaten it all to myself. Well done The White Lion, a lovely relaxing afternoon in the sunshine, eating scrumptious food! A taste of heaven. I shall keep coming back. Service fab as well, friendly & professional. A big thank you to all.

Great service, great food. Would recommend, friendly staff, relaxing and comfortable restaurant area. Well done team

It was a cold day and we visited for a cup of coffee and to see the recently opened pub. The lovely open fire was unlit and there was no atmosphere. For an old pub the decor was not suited to this lovely village pub. Another couple came in and asked for mulled wine, however the pub had none! So December, no fire lit, no mulled wine and staff that were not very engaging. We looked at the food menu and we felt over priced. I’m not surprised it’s closed. Hopefully it will re-open soon with someone with a better strategy.
