They have a good selection of real ales and always have a few good guest ones on tap as well as plenty of lagers to choose from. I had a wonderful Venison steak in redcurrant and red wine sauce last time I was in there and it was absolutely amazing. Not exactly cheap but not too over the top in price. The Sunday lunch is meant to be pretty good here so we're drfinitely going to try that one day. They also rent rooms here, prices differ depending what time of the year but the rooms looked really nice.

This beautiful old pub has been made more contemporary with an eclectic mix of furniture, and an ever-changing gastro pub menu. The selection of drinks on offer is extensive and the manager is always eager to recommend a new beverage to you, or to discuss the provenance of the food with you. Excellent service and a great atmosphere add to the experience, and all in all this pub is highly recommended for a drink, lunch or dinner. They also have some lovely rooms upstairs should you wish to escape, or just in case you have one or two too many of the recommended drinks maybe!

A good selection of real ale, sets off the old beams and friendly land lady. Moving with pint in had to the large garden overlooking the south downs way (see photos) we soon had steaming masses of food arriving. My lamb with apricots and apples was sumptuous. The liver and bacon my sister had was adequate, but the fish pie was a real winner, salmon, prawns, white fish in a creamy mash. Mmmmm. By the piles of benches stacked against a barn it looks like it gets very busy in the summertime - and according to some locals it "isn't as good as it was before it was discovered" but all in all a great lunch and think it is a great find. Heartily recommend, hope some other Qypers can discover it too.

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.

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 hadn't planned to eat a The Halfway Bridge Restaurant but we stumbled across it on a drive to…read moreUppark House (National Trust). We were not hopeful because the carpark was almost full, but without a reservation we managed to get a table in outside (this was our preference). We started with drinks, both of which were served with nice garnishes and what appeared to be freshly squeezed fruit juice. We ordered from the lunch menu; a BBQ beef burger and a Chicken Caesar open sandwich with extra handout chips. The food came out in reasonable time and looked wonderful. The burger was superb. It was made from good, tasty beef, with was served with some strong cheese and maple bacon, both of which were delicious. It was served on a sesame seed brioche which was really fresh. The handout chips were very tasty indeed, they were golden brown and very well seasoned. And hot! The chicken caesar open sandwich was delicious. I was offered white or brown bread and because I had spied on the menu that the white bread was some kind of corn bread, that's what I went for. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was not at all dry, and although there could have been more dressing, it was great. The side salad looked a little lacklustre when it first came out, but I was soon to discover that it was dressed with the most beautiful (sweet?) dressing and it was packed with garden herbs. It was beautiful and it complemented the chicken really well. We wouldn't usually go for dessert with lunch, but after being offered the menu we thought we'd take a look. That's all it took... I ordered the chocolate mousse and my husband ordered the strawberries and cream. These were two of the best desserts we've ever eaten. I'll be coming back just to try my mousse again! The dark chocolate mousse was amazing and it was served with cherries, some kind of berry reduction, some micro herbs (tasted like lemon balm?), some chocolate crumb, and a grapefruit sorbet. Seriously. Amazing. The strawberries and cream was served with what tasted like a basil reduction, some micro basic, edible flowers, a splodge of the most wonderful vanilla sauce, some sort of strawberry crisp, what tasted like strawberry and champagne semifreddo (?) and some fresh strawberries. It would have been nice to have a description of these items on the menu, but I can totally understand the want for a little secrecy and drama. We were NOT expecting such spectacular desserts, and we loved every crumb. Our service was great, the food even better, and I can't fault this restaurant. We're already planning our next trip. Hopefully we'll get to stay in the hotel next time!
