A wonderfully comfortable pub with delicious food.  There was an electricity cut-out while I was there so they moved me to another pub/hotel they own The Royal Oak in East Lavant with even more spacious accommodation.  So great service and delightful room (in both places).  I would recommend them without hesitation.

Imaginative decor and all you need.

Fabulous rooms (we opted for one with a copper bath), amazing decor throughout the restaurant and rooms, 5 star food and service in the restaurant and such accommodating and friendly staff. So dog friendly - our labrador was treated as a star guest also.

A sense of pure indulgence throughout

We were 3 couples and 2 dogs looking for the perfect venue for New Years Eve & we certainly found it. A 5mile circular walk from the pub meant we had earned the delicious evening meal in very festive surroundings. The rooms were small but very well kitted out with comfortable beds & decent showers. The staff were brilliant & the large number of guests there with their dogs gave us the excuse to meet people & see in the New Year in a very convivial atmosphere! 

Excellent New Years Eve

We spent the weekend with the dog at the White Horse and loved it. The pub itself is perfect - roaring fire, rugby on the TV, good selection of cask ales.

It was also entirely dog friendly, and so we brought ours everywhere with us. Food was exceptional and reasonably priced and the breakfasts were delicious and not too massive as they sometimes can be. 

Excellent wine list, including a lot of great English options. 

Also would be great for families as the list of activities is huge!

The platonic English country pub with rooms

Booked this last minute as I was away with work and needed somewhere to stay for the evening. The room was beautiful and clean, the bed is just about the comfiest I have ever slept in and it was all so peaceful and quiet. The pub attached is a traditional and welcoming place and the breakfast is to die for!!! I was gutted I had to leave the day after but will certainly be back. The service from Kat was amazing and I simply can not fault this place. Outstanding!!

Perfect in Every Way

Stayed here whilst working away and had a brilliant experience. All the staff are so welcoming and really lovely. Really nice pub, delicious food in the restaurant for dinner and for breakfast and the rooms were wonderful. Very clean, very nicely laid out. Great biscuits and cafetière coffee in the room. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone in the area. 

Great hotel and restaurant 

What was once my favourite pub in the Chichester area is no more. The take over by Butcombe Brewery has changed what was exceptional into merely average. The menu has been reduced massively and is hardly inspiring, steak, fish & chips, chicken or a beef burger with a singe Vegan alternative and another fish course. The wine list that used to feature a large range of good wines is now reduced to an expensive average selection. 

The staff are pleasant, but the extra touch of magic that this pub had has disappeared. Worse still, I understand that the same Brewer has also taken over another excellent address in the area, The Royal Oak which has largely the same menu, how original!

I won't be back any time soon.

The magic has gone. 

When we arrived we noticed the bar area had lots of flies buzzing around ? We asked why so many flies to be told it’s the time of year and they attracted to the electrics lol ! The room was great with its own private garden . We had booked a table for evening dinner , the food was below average at best . I asked for my fish to be lightly battered . My wife ordered the chicken . My fish n chips came battered to death and the chicken was very dry . Again lots of flies buzzing around . The next day the shower in the room only gave cold at best look warm water and running the shower for over 5 mins . All the toiletries on offer were labelled .. please don’t take me ! Lol . We arrived for breakfast and had our took . At this point we were surprised  to see even  more flies on the tables cutlery and other guests . We decided not to stay for breakfast and left before the food was served . We again expressed our dismay at all the flies to be told again it’s the weather , time of year etc etc . We were not offered any sort of refund for breakfast . We drove ten minutes away to the local town where we had breakfast fly free!! I’ve contacted the hotel via email with no response 

Wedding anniversary 

Came in after a walk around late morning, revived a cold welcome. Staff member who served us was incredibly slow considering we were the only people in the pub. No communication skills, no please or thank you! 

Very poor service

We stayed for two nights, and had very mixed feelings about this hotel.
Things I liked:
Friendly staff
Nice rustic feel
Lovely views and outdoor space

Things I didn’t like:
We had to move rooms, and ended up seeing 3 of the rooms on offer. Two of these did not have a shower, only a bath. We found this really odd, and very inconvenient. It did not say when booking that you might not get a shower.

Sheepskin rugs: just horrible. If you care about animal rights you are better off elsewhere, there were also paintings of men on horses in red coats (suggesting they’re off to fox hunt) on the walls in at least one of the rooms.

Food: had breakfast only and it was nice. Chose not to have evening meals because there isn’t much vegetarian or vegan choice.

If you’re vegan, I would definitely avoid for the multiple reasons above.
