They have a good selection of real ales and always have a few good guest ones on tap as well as plenty of lagers to choose from. I had a wonderful Venison steak in redcurrant and red wine sauce last time I was in there and it was absolutely amazing. Not exactly cheap but not too over the top in price. The Sunday lunch is meant to be pretty good here so we're drfinitely going to try that one day. They also rent rooms here, prices differ depending what time of the year but the rooms looked really nice.

This beautiful old pub has been made more contemporary with an eclectic mix of furniture, and an ever-changing gastro pub menu. The selection of drinks on offer is extensive and the manager is always eager to recommend a new beverage to you, or to discuss the provenance of the food with you. Excellent service and a great atmosphere add to the experience, and all in all this pub is highly recommended for a drink, lunch or dinner. They also have some lovely rooms upstairs should you wish to escape, or just in case you have one or two too many of the recommended drinks maybe!

But, if you are lucky enough to find this charming country pub, you are in store for the perfect English pub experience. This centuries old homestead still oozes that ancient feel. The dishes are not only classic English but also have exciting takes on Korean and Indian fare. I say stick with the local drafts on tap and the classic English dishes. My favorites were the pea and ham soup (If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to put it over the top) and the local sausage and mash is on another level. The gravy is to die for!

Lunch and Dinner prices are around £11 £16 for Mains. Plenty of parking. If you coming from the West via A24, there is a lovely drive from The Old Barn nursery which brings you out nearly opposite The Fountain. Bit of winding lane though, so Vorsicht!!

A good selection of real ale, sets off the old beams and friendly land lady. Moving with pint in had to the large garden overlooking the south downs way (see photos) we soon had steaming masses of food arriving. My lamb with apricots and apples was sumptuous. The liver and bacon my sister had was adequate, but the fish pie was a real winner, salmon, prawns, white fish in a creamy mash. Mmmmm. By the piles of benches stacked against a barn it looks like it gets very busy in the summertime - and according to some locals it "isn't as good as it was before it was discovered" but all in all a great lunch and think it is a great find.

The perfect lunch time meal. The food is hot and portions generous. Unlike some places The Five Bells serve cod - not halibut nor haddock. The fish is fresh and is paired with plenty of chips. I washed mine down with a half Shandy (I wanted to relive a childhood memory) then I tried a half pints of two of the pub's local beers. Dessert was a 10 year old Laphroig scotch. A very nice lunch in West Sussex. Cheers
