Great pub. Great location. Riverside beer garden and outdoor eating areas for the summer. Indoors is traditional, clean and contemporary. Food smelt very nice, but the price was too high for me to partake, so settled for a pint and a bag (half full) of crisps. Prices are a little high for my liking. £7.40 for a pint and half empty bag of crisps is not sustainable, so left after 2.
Great location and lovely walks along the river into town. Nice place to spend the day.

The Black Rabbit is a beautiful pub about one and a half miles out from the centre of Arundel. This pub presents itself proudly, with pretty decor, a handsome extension for the restaurant area, and plenty of riverside outdoor seating.
Considering the area, drinks and food aren't badly priced. The food certainly lives up to the mark! Myself and my partner had a lovely roast, which was brimming with flavour and well balanced. The Yorkshire Pudding was huge! Both sets of toilets were very clean, boasting neat decoration and charming fixtures. Staff were sweet, and could be seen conversing and laughing with patrons. We will be back!
There are two routes to this pub. If you're on foot, I'd recommend the riverside walk, although this may not be accessible to all. The other route is doable on foot, but lacks pavement for a significant part of the walk. Pub has ample parking if you drive in.
A nice, classic pub, ideally situated if you're walking around the Arundel wetlands - about the halfway point. There's picknick tables outside with a brilliant nature view, while the pub's inside looked pretty fancy.
An excellent spot for hikers (and their dogs) to enjoy a well-deserved drink.
One word of warning for parents: I did not see any playground stuff, and there is a (very quiet, but public) road between the pub and the outside seating.
Long time since we have been here. Even before this one was born. Still lovely food. Great service beautiful location. The fact my boy sat in Harry Potter's boat made his day. Making your child happy.TICK🙏. Public launch for paddle boards and kayaks would be awesome. My wife always loved your ploughman's. See you again soon. Just one small thing beautiful soup (tomato an pepper ) however you want a chunk of bread not a slice. Sorry to be picky.
Second visit, we'd previously popped in for a drink, and liked it so booked an evening meal.
The staff were very helpful as my wife is a celiac so offered her a gluten free menu. The food and drinks were very nice, we had a lovely time. The pub is a great venue right next to the river. Inside is also very interesting, we loved it.
The staff were great, it seems very popular and we would certainly recommend 👌
We eat delicious Sunday roast here almost every Sunday. Plus they have wide selection of drinks, friendly staff and beautiful river/castle views ❤️
Good food, friendly staff and prompt service. Excellent river venue, worth a visit.

We have been known to come to this beautiful pub from time to time and have never been disappointed. Our most recent visit was on the first Sunday of July - late afternoon. I had previously booked a table for 3 persons on line. The free car park was quite full and we feared that the place might be overrun. In fact, it was pleasantly quiet, at least inside. We were shown to our table and an energetic young red haired lady took our orders. All three of us went for the Sunday roast beef. This seemed to take her aback a little, asking if that was all we wanted. Yes. If the portions were reasonable, then we didn't need anything else. Apart from the drinks - in my case, a pint of Tanglefoot beer. The carafe of water we asked for never appeared but another waiter corrected that for us. In fact the young lady rarely made any other appearance at our table and we got the bill from one of the other staff members. All in all we left over 70 quid her, including tip.
All in all, we enjoyed our Sunday meal experience in this lovely pub in a superb part of West Sussex situated as it is by the river Arun outside the town of Arundel.
Fantastic meal here tonight. Food was exceptional, service outstanding and a lovely atmosphere. Weather was wet!
Booked an inside table in case of inclement weather...which was a good choice! Lovely pub with large car park and plenty of covered out door seating. Outside the seating is right by the side if the River Arun which would have been great if weather had been better:) Plenty of menu choices including gluten free, vegetarian.
Good amount of tasty food with friendly service and a large selection of drinks available. The boat used in Harry Potter and the Pilophosers Stone is in the main entrance to indoor dining. About a 10 min walk from the Wildfowl Wetlands.
Fabulous food, excellent customer service from all staff we met. Unable to get a table inside as we did not book and arrived on spec. Ate at table outside our choice which was sheltered and had outside heaters and as we had a dog with us was absolutely fine (we were given choice of waiting until later to eat inside). Would thoroughly recommend.
Great spot to grab a few drinks, a bite to eat and take in the beautiful sights! Can only imagine how it is in the summer...
Friendly staff, good food and cold drinks in a historic location and building. Loved it!
Will be back on my next trip out to the 🇬🇧.
Had a pleasant meal here with friends and our dogs on a Monday lunchtime in October. The weather was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the river views, although more customers sat inside (dog friendly inside too). Lunch was tasty and reasonably priced fish finger sandwiches, accompanied with fries, for 3 of us and we all enjoyed them. Service was prompt and friendly and I'm sure we'll visit again soon. Recommended.
Good portions of Sunday roast (I got the beef option for around £17.95), lovely views on the outdoor seating by the river, you could see Arundel castle afar. The apple tart was also good, strong apple flavor with lots of apple chunks.
It’s self service, so do order at the counter (remember your table number).
Had a very long leisurely lunch here with friends and the food was lovely. For a busy Saturday the staff did well but it was really slow service and food took a long time - this suited us as we were long overdue a catch up, but in most other circumstances it would’ve been far too slow. Our table wasn’t cleared in between courses which is a pet peeve of mine, and we had to ask repeatedly for some simple things (tap water, cutlery, side plates). I saw about 5 different plates of food hit the floor for some reason, luckily none of it was ours. All this being said, I would go back as I found the food to be really nice and the staff were really friendly, I’ll just bring more patience!
I like it very much!
This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, lovely fish&chips and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again. Very memorable place
One of the most beautiful scenic places I've ever had lunch. Came back to Arundel purely to visit this pub again. Food delicious and quickly delivered.
A must for visitors to the Arundel region. Situated on the river Arun with spectacular views of the river, valley and Arundel castle. Good parking and lots of seating inside and out. Appropriate menu and good coffee. We excellent service from Georgina and rest of staff. Only down side is it is a long walk if you don’t have a car . Accessible by boat via jetty immediately to the outdoor seating
