    Been here twice recently…read more.. First, to meet friends who live locally. The bar food is indeed very good; its a friendly place; nice big garden area - we sat outside; reasonably sized car park (though we did watch a slow motion - literally - car crash as a mini that someone had forgotten to put on the handbrake for rolled backwards into some concrete feature thing)...a bit concerned as I was parked next to it Anyway, very enjoyable and definitely to be recommended We returned a week or so later to meet other friends, it being more or less half way between us....and on our way to the Tunnel Aha...watch out for the beams, missed last time as we sat out...they are exceptionally low!!! the welcome and the food were again both very good Will return, especially as it is on our route, but maybe preferably in the summer...I think outside is a safer bet

    There are not many pubs I would go out of my way to visit but The Royal Oak at Wineham is most…read morecertainly one of them. We had the great good fortune to be camping at Blacklands farm, which is only 20 minutes walk away, so this became our "local" on the extended bank holiday royal wedding weekend. It's a real gem of a place with a picture postcard look; timber framed with white walls and tiny windows this is the classic old school English country pub come to life. Inside it has kept its traditional character with low ceilings and rustic furnishings. There is a front room which houses the bar (no visible hand pumps threw me at first before I realised it all comes straight from the cask) and another small room with three tables out back which is great for a romantic dinner of an evening. There is also another room in an original "annexe" to the main building which is opened for diners during busy periods; this might be a good choice if you are with children. Alternatively on fine days, such as those we have had this past weekend, there is no better place to be than the lovely garden out front. We were camping with our old pals the Yeoman's, who had their delightful two year old Aoife in tow. She had a ball exploring the garden and getting up close and friendly with the various breeds of dogs, and their owners, who were visiting on a Saturday lunchtime. I do believe a very good time was had by all. The beer, as I said, is poured straight from the cask and is well kept and in tip top condition. Nothing much out of the ordinary in the choice of Dark Star Hophead and Harveys Best and Knots of May which were being served on our visits but hey, they were drinking very well indeed in the spring time sun and we kept coming back for more. We ate here on the Friday evening and had a great meal. I had the Catalonian inspired fish stew with chorizo and fennel which came with crusty bread and a garlic rouille; a big bowlful and very tasty indeed. B had the confit duck on a bed of champ with a garnish of rocket. Despite being under seasoned, she scoffed the lot in quick time and declared herself more than satisfied with her supper. After a morning spent walking we returned here on the Saturday to try out the Ploughman Boards. After a few miles with a two year old on the back I was pretty hungry so we decided to go for a Board each and that was a pretty good call to make because 45 minutes later there was not a crumb to be had. All of the Boards were extremely fine and came with a bit hunk of crusty bread, more butter than could possibly be good for you, some rustic coleslaw, home-made chutney, picked onion, salad and a choice of rare roast beef, cheese, ham, scotch egg or smoked salmon. If you looked hard as you entered the pub there was a note pinned up indicating where they were sourcing most of this local produce which was a nice touch. The punters are a mix of campers from down the road at Blacklands, and the very discrete mobile home site next door, who sit alongside a motley crew of locals. Service comes with a smile and the owner Michael is a lovely fella who offered up great advice and some wonderful hospitality. This is a special pub in a fantastic location and I am already dreaming of a return visit.

    Five colleagues and I, at the end of an amazing week at a work conference, we're in desperate need…read moreof some food. 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!

    A few years ago, I had an 8 hour layover at Gatwick, so we decided to pop out and go to the nearest…read moreplace for fish and chips. They were out of fish but the chips were excellent. We also go the Camembert, olives, and some ciders. This was definitely worth the effort to leave the airport, get an Uber, and then return to the airport. Cute place with good food.

    You don't get pubs in areas like this very often. Its surrounded by the beautiful Knepp Estate with…read morerolling fields populated by wild roaming deer and Exmoor ponies. The pub itself is perfect when there's a bit of a chill as they have an amazing open fire and in the summer and then a huge bees garden for the warmer months. Best of both Worlds! We always pop in for lunch and a nice pint of Harveys. Last time I was there I tried the Sussex pate on rustic bread and it was absolutely perfect. They also do a fantastic Sunday roast but do get there early as it is extremely popular.

    I've eaten here twice when visiting family in the UK, once last summer and again this year. The…read moreservice and food the first year were very good, definitely 4 star worthy, and had me looking forward to a return visit. Disappointingly it didn't quite meet expectations, hence the 3 overall. Nothing was truly terrible during my second visit, but there were a few areas that I feel could be improved. Although not incredibly expensive, prices are sufficient for me to expect better than average food and service (that said my brother thinks I've been living in the USA too long and my service expectations are too high for the UK...) I ordered a special for the day we visited, topside roast beef with seasonal vegetable accompaniments. The beef was cut rather thick, which is either generous and rustic or, as my grandmother with extensive food service would have said, completely wrong (beef thin, lamb thick, pork in between...) I also would have preferred the meat a little rarer, but despite the apparently longer cooking time it was tender and flavorful. The vegetables were generally good; could perhaps have been cooked a little less for a firmer bite but that's certainly open to a range of preferences. The Yorkshire pudding was overly-crispy for my tastes, and with the gravy already poured (a separate boat would have been nice) was hard to rescue. The one item that was really disappointing though was the courgettes (others in my party with those on there plate agreed). They appeared to have been cooked in an olive with strong vegetal/pungent/sharp/bitter tones to it. It would seem the oil was not hot when it met the courgettes and they have a tendency under such circumstances to soak up oil leaving them tasting rather funky. One wonders if they were taste tested in the kitchen... My wife ordered a risotto of some kind which she felt was lacking salt (unusual for my wife so probably true). Desserts were well received -- didn't have one myself but they looked good and were said to be good and tasty. Service seemed well intentioned but I found it odd that we had all three of the waitresses visit us for different things at various times -- this did not appear to enhance the level of service but rather to leave them all confused as to what stage of the meal we were at. We received multiple queries on things such as whether or not we had ordered drinks, starters, dessert, etc.
