If you are in the Arundel area, want an authentic gastro pub with good food, great service and cultured locals, this is the place.
This is a real pub with culture and heritage. Not something that can be felt by load of marketing people or branding junkies. The food is very nicely done ny a person that evidently knows how to cook. It is not fusion craziness and trendy, just good proper and smart food.
The staff working here are people that know more about the restaurant trade and are not the untrained students that would get a chain.
The decor fits in with the beautiful Tiny Village that Burpham is. If you'd like to see real English countryside at its best in a proper village, this is the place to go. Just driving to the restaurant along the small road to the village will give you a great feel and the restaurant lives up to it.
As somebody who comes to the area or not, I like to come here and it remains what I have always liked about it.
While the food is quite upscale, as are the people, but the prices remain good for what it is. One of my favourite places in the area.
Extremely overpriced but lovely pub which is perfect for a lunchtime pit stop as you walk through the area. Burpham itself is a picture perfect English village. You expect a murder mystery to be happening somewhere around the corner!
The pub is owned by 15 families. They will add an optional £.50 to your bill which goes to a charity pot that accumulates over the course of the year. The 15 families then match the amount and throw a big dinner whereby the recipients are given the money. The four charities are listed on the blackboard as you enter. I love this idea!
The food is pricey but good. However the chips are out of this world. Absolutely delicious!
Great place for special occasions, but you will need plenty of cash/credit to paay for it. One of the priciest place around.
There is quite a long drive down a tight lanebe warned of oncoming traffic.
Nice surroundings and in a beautiful part of the area.
This is a very popular pub for walkers. It was just crawling with them when we stopped in.
We arrived right at the end of the lunchtime rush so didn't have the chance to sample the food, though it looked decent. The staff were friendly, but they were in the middle of clearing up and closing, and their receipt machine wasn't working so the bar was quite disorganised and it took a while to be served.
Was quite nice to have a couple pints in the sun outside on a quiet street. Would visit again.
We had burger, fish and chips, BLT, sausages and sticky toffee and a Knickerbocker Glory. Great service, fresh food, atmosphere and true country setting. Best to book, but walk in for outside which was sunny and lovely.
Strange reviews this pub is very busy and very popular, especially with walkers. The village is the kind of place overseas visitors imagine an English village to be, and it is a bit Disney, however it can be forgiven as the pub is fine. Best to park and walk along to river, across the railway to North Stoke, which has an ancient, cold church and air of medieval lonliness about it.
A remarkable meal, starting with a warm welcome and excellent service throughout. The menu offered some intriguing choices, and every mouthwatering dish was superbly prepared. Yes, it's a little pricey (for a pub) but heartily recommended.
Its hard to get to as no local transport too and from. Is a few miles from turn off of A27 Arundel near railway station.
Wanted some food but was told they do over 120 meals on Sunday so have to book 2 weeks in advance. I do not work that way as am more of a spontaneous person. This seems the norm these days on a Sunday. Had a nice drink and sat out side on one of the benchs. There is a car park around the back quite large but gets full up very quickly. Not much parking on the streets around the houses and church. There is also a lovey green park where there is cricket played and children's fenced off play ground. Nice walks beyond with view of Arundel Castle used to take my dog there.
They are also long field walks accessed through the church's grave yard over the wall.
What an absolute cracker of a place. Highly recommended, a hidden gem. We stopped for a pint and a Sunday roast during our southdowns walk. Outstanding. Gluten free options available too. The staff were amazing. 10/10
Such a lovely pub to visit!
The food is delicious, the pub is dog friendly and the area is perfect for sunny day walks 👌🐾
This is a very popular pub so if you want to eat here make sure to book well in advance! 👌
Must be one of the best Sunday roast I’ve had, beautiful location service and most of all the food was 1st class. If you want an excellent meal add this to your list.
Quite simply the best pub lunch I've had. It's a bit off the beaten track but the food is sensational and the service is very friendly and they look after you very well. Good local beer and the odd foreign one too. Well worth a visit and we are already looking forward to going back.
A very old (over 400 years) isolated but popular village pub that has deservedly overcome recent threat of closure. Saved by local passion and now a renowned destination. Originally The George and Dragon until recently, it has a good selection of beers, excellent food and friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Accompanied by a nearby 12th century Saxon church.
We had a drink and a bite to eat after a walk on the south downs. The pub is in a beautiful and quiet village, Almost no cars. We were there on a Sunday and didn't fancy a roast. There wasn't too many other choices so we had some side dishes. Food was good though.
Wonderful food, lovely service and beautiful setting. My friend and I popped in for lunch and wow, what a lovely lunch it was! Menu and wine/drink selection was great and the service was friendly and approachable. Wonderful pub and we will definitely be returning.
We have tried a few times to book Sunday lunch but have left it too late...I can see why it is so popular. Excellent quality meat cooked to perfection!
