The Loft is not to be missed if you are in Arundel. We had burgers (called 'The Best Burger') and…read morewe both thought that they were one of the best burgers we'd ever had. The fries looked average but turned out to be super tasty. We went at an odd time of day (maybe around 15:00?) and there was some confusion about whether or not they were serving food - so maybe check this before you travel, or just get there at sensible eating times. The drinks were good (good selection) - I had a strawberry milkshake, the food was good, the service was good, and they gave us Jelly Belly beans with our bill. Smashed it. We will be back.

The space is airy, and definitely trying to be a Brooklyn all-day brunch spot. Fortunately we were served quickly (after choosing our own table) and settled on grilled cheese with a cup of soup (spicy tomato today), and an open sandwich topped with creamy sautéed mushrooms. These came swiftly and beat both our expectations - indeed the mushroom dish would not have been out of place at somewhere like Caravan in London. Food and a drink came in under £20 together (although a portion of fries is rather wanting in size for the £2.95 price tag).

I had the chicken with thyme with butternut squash and carmelized onions. The chicken (leg) was perfectly seasoned with lovely roasted butternut squash and carmelized onions. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal, and the size of the portion of fish with the fish and chips was massive. Great service and ambience. Highly recommend!

We stayed in the Wey room (room #1) which was small, but very lovely. The bed was super comfortable and covered in loads of pillows. We were provided with plenty of towels, a bathrobe and slippers. The hot drink selection was great with a variety of teas and some instant hot chocolate that was actually really nice! Free Wifi was available which is always a plus. The bathroom is pretty tiny, but nothing too unmanageable. Everything was new, clean and modern. Our hairdryer only worked for 1 minute bursts and then seemed to overheat. My partner said she could hear a bit of music from the pub below, but I couldn't hear it at all. In any case, they closed by midnight on a Saturday night which isn't at all unreasonable. We tried two cocktails. The bartender lady made one that was completely different than what we asked for, but was still quite nice. We both loved a passionfruit cocktail! The next morning we went downstairs for breakfast. There was a small amount of cold cereal and fruit on a spread, and a full and varied menu for hot food. I have celiac disease and had enquired about the dinner at the Swan before I knew that my girlfriend had booked it as our accommodation, and they were one of the only restaurants of the 10 I emailed in Arundel who responded to my request for gluten free menu items. While we did not end up having dinner here, the helpfulness continued into breakfast. Our server was very lovely and communicated with the kitchen to provide me with a gluten free fry up. They substituted sausage for more bacon, which is always appreciated! And they even had gluten free toast. I had a lovely meal! Overall, I loved the Swan Hotel. It's perhaps a bit pricey considering how small our room was, but I also understand that for a nice, boutique hotel in the middle of a touristy town, that it was probably market value. I would definitely return and recommend it to friends!

Must admit that the Lime and Soda price was more expensive tan other Carveries we've been to ie £1.70 for a medium glass. Carvery was well presented and was plated up for us. We were offered the opportunity to have additional veg bought to the table. The choice of meats were limited to Gammon, Turkey or Ribs....(not quite what was advertised). Choice of veg was good, except for the roast pots....it seems no carvery can get these right..!! Regrettably, as with all carveries I have experienced the food is never really hot.....and soon cools before one can complete the meal. Desserts came at a price of £5.95 each with the exception of Ice Cream. One scoop £2.50, tow scoop £4.50 and three scoop £5.95.....quite dear fro Ice Cream. The staff were charming and the place was very clean, BUT a big problem is PARKING. Abysmal....quite a walk to the nearest car park at Surrey Street.

As I was trying to get her name, she said she will not give it to me and called the bouncer to kick me out as well. I've mentioned before that this bar's bartenders are nothing but miserable with their jobs because not one of them seemed happy one bit. Sadly there are no other bars in the Worthing area worth going to. Avoid the bartender with the long blonde hair in the left side of the bar at all cost. ****update, her name is Jena Jones This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I have previously eaten there, with my parents, and received excellent service and delicious food. On Sunday evening, we entered the restaurant to be yelled at "where are you going?!" We sat down, and waited a long time to be served. Our food came out over a span of over fifteen minutes, which meant that we could not all eat together. A number of my party had to send their food back because it was either cooked incorrectly, or cold (or in most cases - both!). The service was surly and unhelpful. We were NEVER asked how our meal was, and was only greeted by a VERY rude waiter who obtrusively, and noisily, grabbed the plates from our tables. As members of staff stood around and chatted, we waited over THIRTY minutes to order dessert and coffee to be told, "we have turned off the coffee machine, so there is no coffee!" The "server" was VERY rude to my elderly parents, and only on our insistence did they deem to turn the coffee maker back on again. My parents were VERY upset! As we ate our desserts and eventually enjoyed our coffees, the staff stood around and glared at us. Altogether, the food was terrible, the service awful, the servers were rude, and we are incredibly disappointed at the service, food, and how this usually excellent restaurant was VERY let down by the staff. Disgusting!!!

A very credible pub with a great restaurant in the competitive Pagham village…read more I have been going to the Lion since oooh... the early 1990's. A lot of different people have handled the place in that time and obviously, certain peaks and troughs go with that. Personally, I feel that it is currently being run extremely well. The bar side of things is fab and the food is tremendous. The prices are a little higher than can be found elsewhere in the vicinity, but I feel that the quality justifies the difference. The Lion is particularly nice on really cold winters evenings with a roaring fire, or on a blazing hot Sussex day while having a cool drink in the large front patio. Low wood beam ceilings and beautiful fireplace give clues as to the age of the Lion and it definitely gives a great vibe to the place. All round, a great asset to Pagham and as ever... it really depends on who is at the helm!
