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

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!!

We decided to visit The Three Crowns after a recommendation from a friend. The setting is idyllic, with beautiful views over the village green next door and a quaint village.

I also ordered a Pimm's which was made extra strong and extra large after they discovered I live in America and don't get to experience it regularly. The garden outside was stunning, a real gem of a pub. Take your time and visit here, you won't regret it. The staff were fantastic, food was brilliant and the drinks plentiful. A 5* British Pub!

The girlfriend spotted the Three Crowns in the centre of Billingshurst as we drove through. A quick U-turn and we were soon parked up As it turned out, we had forgotten that it was Father's Day and the tables inside were fully booked but the cheerful staff offered us a table in their rear garden. Well, another win purely by coincidence. On that sunny day, the huge garden was THE place to sit. There were even some chickens in their run at the back of the garden for the kids (and me) to visit and play with A couple of sharing boards seemed a reasonable choice for the 3 of us just to hold out til the wedding dinner. Well, we had forgotten that in the West Sussex countryside, portions are a tad more generous than in London and the 2 boards came laden and groaning with food. I especially loved the seafood board with fresh large prawns, smoked salmon, poached fish and seafood salad. A spritz of lemon and you could imagine being a few miles down the road at the sea. The charcuterie board was similarly replete with fine cuts of meat. All accompanied by herculean sized pieces of bread, so much so that we didn't even finish one portion of bread between us It was a great start to the day and highly recommended if you're in the area

A great, slightly quirky, traditional pub in a great Sussex village…read more You won't find Chiddingly by accident - it's off a narrow lane off the A22, between Lewes and Eastbourne. The village itself dates back to Domesday and has a fine mediaeval church (worth a visit while there). In fact, the village has 55 entries in the listed building guide, so there's more than enough history to occupy the most hardened tourist before retiring to the pub for refreshment. The pub building dates back to 1774 (and possibly earlier) and is a Grade II listed building; the frontage of blue and red bricks looks suitably traditional, and through the front door there is a main bar area to the left and a wonderful snug room (with a huge fireplace) to the right. The interior is all wooden beams and stone floors, with a bar serving a good selection of real ales and generous portions of traditional pub grub, all with friendly bar staff. (NB The food is popular, so be prepared to wait at busy periods). Towards the rear of the pub, the walls are festooned with old pictures and photographs, and a motorcycling theme predominates: it is a well-known meeting place for bikers, and there's a club board by the back door giving details of events, runs, etc. Outside is a large garden, with lots of seating. The rear of the pub is decorated with old enamel advertising signs, covering every subject imaginable. Also at the back is the large, surfaced car park - perfect for rows of shiny (or, in my case, not so shiny) motorbikes. If all that wasn't enough, the pub also host a fortnightly folk and blues club (http://www.6bellsfolk.co.uk ) as well as its biker meets. Oh, and on my last visit, my mate and I (on our bikes) opted for 2 pints of soda and lime to quench our thirst, with a couple of packets of crisps. It came to £1.80. How great it is, not to feel ripped off with outrageously priced soft drinks! (Next time, though, I'll get someone else to drive so I can sample the real ales...)

Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

She raved about this cocktail…read morebar that had won some sort of contest and was showcasing during cocktail week in London (or something like that). So after dinner, we decided to check it out and try a few drinks. She had booked a table, so it wasn't a problem getting in. The table was all marked out for us with a balloon that had her name, our party size and the time. It was a cute way of marking the tables, and it went with the quirky atmosphere of the bar. Quirky? Yes, the bar is quite quirky, pretty much a hipster bastion in Horsham. Balloons? Check. A giant chessboard on the ceiling? Double check. The bathrooms being called the "garden". Oh yes. That being said, the cocktails were interesting and tasty. My partner ordered the "Glastonbooty" that was served in a ceramic boot and had an "absinthe balloon" which turned out to just be a balloon that they sprayed with absinthe. So not so exciting. Plus he said it kind of tasted like dirt. Which may have been the point. I had the "Only Mules and Horses" which came with a photo of Dell Boy and Rodney on the side. For the next round, my partner ordered a Negroni, and it was pretty bitter, even for a Negroni. I just tried shots of their Chai Bourbon and Maple Tequila. The tequila was quite sweet, but nice, but they Chai Bourbon really won me over. So yeah, it's a fun, hipster joint in Horsham. If you're in Horsham, it means it's probably the best place to go.

The place is split over two floors. Ground floor with a few bar stools and big bar and then upstairs where there is much more space for large groups round small tables and again a large bar. The decor is cool and as the name hints there is a little bit of quirky taxidermy going on along with a giant chessboard on the ceiling. You receive table service which is good however I think my only gripe is the service was a little slow to begin with and the cocktails take a while to come. The cocktail menu is awesome with lots of different cocktails available to suit all palates and are served it lots of different ways - in a beer can with a sombrero hat or in a tankard orrrr in a pretty dainty cocktail glass. I'm not sure how often they change the menu but I recommend La Vida Loco & Only Mules & Horses.
