This 17th Century building has so much charm with its low, oak beams in the bar that you can't help but feel nice and relaxed. The staff add to the atmosphere as you can tell they all really work hard to make sure your food is out on time and you haven't got to wait long at the bar for your drinks. We had a brilliant Sunday lunch there a few weeks ago. It wasn't the cheapest but worth every penny. I had the roast pork and the crackling was perfect! With the open fire roaring, it really was a nice place to sit and relax when its hammering down with rain outside. I had to be dragged out by my wife!!

My mum is lucky enough to have recently moved to a village with four good pubs. Last week, we…read moretried the Lamb Inn on a Tuesday evening. Having not been before, mum booked a table in the dining room but it was clear when we turned up that it's not necessary. I think you might need to book on Fridays or Saturdays, but during the week you'll be fine to just turn up. On this occasion, I was not drinking in preparation for the 10k, but next time I come I'd like to try the wine as the wine list did look good. Without trying the wine I could not go for a 5* but maybe I'll revisit the rating when I do try it. My mum had the saute chicken and my brother had the pork belly. Served with a generous portion of seasonal vegetables. Both were very satisfied and I think I'd like to try the pork next time. I went for the burger, without cheese. Living in Manchester, where there are gourmet burger places on pretty much every street, and there are some very very good burgers, I am hard to please in the burger department. Well this one was very impressive and I'm kind of glad I don't like cheese, as this would have been even richer with the addition of cheese. You'll see from the photo how generous a portion it is. The burger was homemade, and well seasoned. There were bacon bits in the burger which added a gorgeous smokiness. There were fried onions/mushrooms on the burger which were nice without being too greasy. On top of that was bacon jam - oh man the bacon jam! Lush it was and went really well with the bacony burger. The coleslaw was delish as was the onion relish. My mum pinched a few of the chips and she enjoyed them as much as I did. Overall, am very impressed and think anyone who enjoys burgers would enjoy this. There was a good atmosphere in the pub itself and the staff were friendly and attentive. It's only about 10-15 minute walk to the beach at Pagham and has lovely countryside. I imagine it must be a nice cosy stop off for walkers/ramblers in the area. One of the other people in the pub had a cute dog on her lap, so that's handy to know if you have a dog and want to take him/her with you to the pub. Overall, I recommend a visit.

Perhaps though, you wouldn't expect the quality of food by looking at the outside of the pub. Never has the phrase, "don't judge a book by its cover," been more true. What is generally nice about this place is that they do a few things really well, rather than having huge selections of mediocre tat. This starts with the beer - a choice of four very nice ales, we went for the Dark Star "Hophead" a golden pale ale, which has a lovely full flavour with a hint of honey and elder-flower. The menu here changes often, almost daily, depending on what is available and the chef decides to make. Our starters were ham and apple terrine with a lovely pickle, chicken and liver paté with sourdough bread & homemade chutney, Selsy crab and salmon cakes. All fantastic. Not only did it all taste fantastic but the presentation is worth the price alone. You can see the menu in the photos I've added. For mains I had hanger steak with purple sprouting broccoli - incredible melt in the mouth texture that worked so well with the broccoli and a tasty sauce. Everyone else had fish was being at the coast is a great choice. My youngest daughter had hake in a beer batter which was so, so light and crispy. My wife and eldest daughter had pan fried fish (trout and turbot) with mash. Seriously, I could have eaten all the mains myself - I've not seen my wife finish a meal so quick, ok I kept stealing bits of her plate because it was rather yummy. I couldn't reach my daughters plate so easily. Desserts were equally well presented and equally tasty. The highlight was the chocolate brownie that was rich and gooey it the right proportions. The rummed raisins in my sable biscuit chocolate cake were fantastic. These lovely fruits just kept popping in my mouth. My eldest had the raspberry meringue which thankfully wasn't too sweet, although the meringue was a little harder than I expect it was obviously made in the kitchen as it had a lovely chewy inside rather than being all air. Overall, a brilliant meal. If you were eating this in London you would be paying twice as much as you are here. While you would probably only get half of the meal in London too. This is top quality food with portions you can live on. Go here now before the word gets out.

If you answered yes to these four questions, head immediately to The Royal Oak. We had a slight concern when my GPS said we had arrived and it was a completely different pub. Luckily, the right pub was just a bit further up the road. We booked Sunday Lunch, because who doesn't like Sunday Lunch in a pub? If you bring your Ferrari, you can park right in the front as well! The inside is really warm and charming. There are really friendly staff there to welcome you in and let you sit in some comfy chairs and couches and have a drink while you're waiting for your fourth dining companion to arrive. So kudos to that. Our table was in the back in what looked like was an add-on. But one whole wall is full of windows overlooking a beautiful garden, so you don't really feel like you're shoved way in the back corner. The service was a bit slow, but if you're not in a rush, why does it matter? We ordered the baked Vacherin Mont d'or cheese (which in the winter, I will be doing at home instead of baked brie or Camembert) and a couple of Scotch Eggs and Rabbit on toast as pre-nibbles. The eggs and rabbit were nice, but not amazing, but the cheese dip was great. And the bread basket they served was awesome as well. Several types of bread with butter. The olive flatbreads were awesome, and since two diners didn't like olives, two of us got to eat a lot of them. They'll bring as much bread as you ask, but it's super easy to go overboard. For my starter I opted for something different than everyone else and got the game terrine. What a mistake that was. Not that the terrine wasn't delicious. It was, but the rabbit lasagne was like heaven in your mouth. I was super jealous of everyone else. For my main I ordered the hare and trotter pie. The crust wasn't the most amazing, but the filling was probably the best pie filling I've ever had. The hare and trotter were soft and luscious and the gravy was phenomenal. It was really rich so toward the end I had to cut the richness with the delicious mash they served with it. The other half had the woodcock and I tried a few bites of that as well. Awesome. Simply awesome. His only complaint was that it was huge and very rich so it was hard to finish it all, and he didn't want dessert at the end of the meal. For dessert, two of us ordered the chocolate fondant and one the butterscotch pudding. I loved the fondant, but again it was really good sized and incredibly rich. It was a lot after the rich pie. And the filling was almost too oozy. At least it wasn't over done. We also ordered some Madeleines and our coffees and teas came with Petits Fours. The Madeleines were kind of boring for me, they needed more flavor, but the Petits Fours (a raisin cake, coconut marshmallow and a chocolate truffle) were great. The coffee not so much. I hate ordering filter coffee and just getting a long pull espresso. They are not the same. But the bad parts were really minor. The good parts far outshown and some of the dishes we had were some of the best dishes of the weekend. The woodcock was fantastic and I'm still having dreams about my pie. I need to figure out how to make something that good at home. With a better pie crust. It's unfortunate that it's not really conveniently close, because I could see myself ending up here quite a bit. Since I was driving, I couldn't drink either, but given my state the night before, it was probably a good thing. If you're in the area and fancy an amazingly laid back atmosphere with awesome food, book this place!

A beautiful pub/restaurant in a small well healed village with seriously narrow streets. We arrived for our booking at 12 and were sat in the restaurant, short wait for the daily changing menu to be printed. On arrival the very helpful waitress took us through it detailing the various sections. I chose a delicious lambs tongue in aspic as my starter which I really enjoyed. We ordered mains, my partner ordered the beef fillet and I had the rose veal. She loved her dish and was very complimentary about it. My veal was nice, quite herby, and borderline over seasoned. Our biggest issue was the waitress didnt actually explain the total lack of accompanying vegetables, or we would have ordered some. Desserts were both lovely, chocolate tart and profiteroles but both were more like petit fours size than a dessert. We had the interesting distraction of the quite loud instructions to the brigade in the kitchen the bonus being that we heard when our dishes were coming. The decor was nice the building is of an age so some restrictions in how it can be modernised. Toilets were clean and well appointed. A great experience, a few minor tweaks necessary to make it a real destination venue
