If you are out and about in West Sussex then please consider stopping in…read more This is an independent pub. The beer selection was good as the owners are not tied to any brewery. The atmosphere is your country Pub. The owners are very friendly and welcome guests and regulars equally with a hand shake and warm smile. I was there on a Friday. The special was Fish & Chips. 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

Very much a village pub, it has an excellent reputation for welcoming new people. I know this as I have been with my brother, who is from Thakeham nearby. A very small menu but impressive. I like the idea of take away Fish and Chips, which is very popular. Very nice place to stay for quiet weekend. Nearby is the Alexandro Bastedo Animal Santuary..well worth a visit!

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.

Some of the dishes we got... homemade potato + leek soup (some of the most delicious I've ever had), deviled white tail, a goat cheese puff bake with salad, classic ploughman's. Most of us got the burger for mains and we did get one steak. Generous and delicious portions, that's why photos never made it to my reviews! The pub itself is very cozy and sits on top of a lovely view with option to sit outdoors in the garden. I would definitely come back. Carole is a darling! Thank you for having us.

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. We ordered our food from the two course menu for just 15GBP per person, I had the gammon and fries - outstanding! However they make that sauce, delicious! 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

Not something that can be felt by load of marketing people or branding junkies. The food is very nicely done ny a person that evidently knows how to cook. It is not fusion craziness and trendy, just good proper and smart food. The staff working here are people that know more about the restaurant trade and are not the untrained students that would get a chain. The decor fits in with the beautiful Tiny Village that Burpham is. If you'd like to see real English countryside at its best in a proper village, this is the place to go. Just driving to the restaurant along the small road to the village will give you a great feel and the restaurant lives up to it. As somebody who comes to the area or not, I like to come here and it remains what I have always liked about it. While the food is quite upscale, as are the people, but the prices remain good for what it is. One of my favourite places in the area.
