"On a day trip to Littlehampton we stopped here for lunch. I'd seen the overall rating was good and but when we arrived it was a little disappointing. We went into the members bar without realising but they explained we needed to be in the next room and that at first felt like walking into a closed function room with a family sorting a table. Things changed totally from there where we were greeted warmly and sat at a table by the window. We were the only people in the restaurant which worried me a bit. I had no need to worry though, service was amazing, friendly but didn't hover so although we were the only ones there it didn't really feel like the spotlight was on us and the food was absolutely excellent. The children had standard nuggets/ fish fingers and chips. It didn't come out boiling hot which I liked as the children could tuck in right away. Us two adults had steak and ale pie and chips and the Cajun salad. One melon starter too. We had requested all that to arrive at the same time as we had already ordered the children's food before ordering anything else and the melon was to be their dessert. The steak and ale pie was one of the best we've tasted and so fresh with a really generous filling and beautiful pastry. The salad, fresh again and with a lovely dressing. The melon was great and all dishes were well presented. Nothing was too much trouble and they made the children feel very welcome. Prices are reasonable and I'll definitely go back."

"Funny how you don't notice the best things when their under your nose. Pie makers from Bognor since 1933 and winners at the UK's acclaimed Melton Mowbury annual pie competition, suppliers to Harrods as a fine food. Overheard two people in the Chichester Sunday market...across the street from Turners, talking about going to TURNERS to the get the weekly treat Walked by their shop in Chichester hundreds of times and never went in. £10.00 for a family pie seemed a bit pricey to me ... So I bit the bullet and finally the pie, Chicken Bacon for almost a tenner .. Took it home for the family, not daring to mention the price or suppler for fear of condemnation. We started with a 1/12th slice cold with cold new potatoes drizzled with salad cream. After the 3rd 1/12th slice the four of us had eaten the lot in half an hour. Well the rest is now going to be history. A new pie every Sunday from Turner's for Sunday supper.... or as it Turners out today ordered 3 meat and 3 fruit family pies for next weeks family BBQ and you can bet you life I wont be missing out with at least a 1/12th slice off each before the family gannets devour some of the most delicious pies I have ever eaten and at 67 I've eaten more pies and pie ploughman lunches all over England than you can imagine. So start your own Turner Pie obession and become addicted by buying one today. Happy eating the old fashioned way......."

"Appalling customer service and a total lack of respect for the customers! I phoned G&G 13.20 to ensure they were open and still serving food. I was categorically told that if I placed my order by 13.45 we would be served. We arrived approximately 5 minutes later to be told the kitchen had closed. There was no shortage of food or staff, I made the point that I had been promised to be served but no explanation was given. I asked to speak to the manager who, again, couldn’t explain why they had broken their commitment to me. I asked what was the problem/constraint? The ‘manager’ merely said “ there is no need to be rude “ . I asked to clarify how she could accuse me of being rude? She couldn’t think of anything to say apart from “the kitchen is closed”. I said I was very dissatisfied and would reflect this in a review, they were not bothered and said that it wouldn’t impact them as they had been doing ok for the last 5 years. Absolutely appalling and disgraceful in my opinion. I actively search out small local businesses and try to support them, this establishment deserves no support whatsoever. It is interesting that the staff were prepared to spend more time arguing with me than it would have taken them to make us a sandwich! BTW the noticeboard stated closing 3 o’clock. A beautiful sunny bank holiday with many potential customers, why not stop serving early and go home! A strange business model!!! We went to Bluebird café and had great food with fantastic customer service despite the significant number of customers."

"the first impressions of the black horse binsted were all positiw, the pub had a beautiful environment as it was in the landscape with a beautiful view of the golf course while eating in the garden room or outside, especially with the sunset we...hadow the lookout is stunning. the pub had a nice, cozy feeling, with good color schemes and decor. the pub also had very clean facilities that are very pleasant and they trust and feel safe with their 5-star food hygiene certificate. the staff were very friendly and friendly as soon as we entered the door, they were ready to help and answer all the questions we had. the customer service on the black horse was attentive as they ensured that everything was in order, watched us all the time there and even went beyond our expectations, as they put a candle in the desert as it had my friends birthday the next day! the personal had strong product knowledge, as they had always responded to ask that we had asked whether it was about the menu, ingredients, drinks or something else. the eating experience was very pleasant, the pub had a nice atmosphere, eating came to suitable times, so they have time to let their food go between the curses. the food was also presented to a very attentive and appetizing wise. the quality of food was also amazing, each dish had a lot of taste and they could easily say that the ingredients used were very good quality and that they were produced on site. they also had a wide menu of diners and drinks with many meals and drinks. the pub is dog-friendly and it is suitable for all age groups as they also have a children's menu!. the black horse surpassed my expectations, everything was done on a beautiful way, and they went well over what I expected to say nothing bad about the pub at all! I would recommend the pub my friends and family in spite of that they always have a lot to offer and great options!"

"This was my second time visiting, the first was absolutely amazing which is why I was so very looking forward to this next meal, I came on Friday right as it opened and you’d think that everything was fresh and prepared but no my main dish comes and (Grilled chicken with a side salad and sweet fries) this salad was very disappointing because before evening digging in I could tell by the state of the rocket leaves and lettuce, that the salad had been sitting for about a day already, it was most likely the salad from day before, AND don’t get me started on the tomatoes, absolutely disrespectful the texture had already gone funky (if you know then you know) Moving on to the most upsetting thing that I can’t get past is the chicken… this is an unforgettable flavour, the spices and sauce is indeed unbeatable (in my experience) but todays chicken was weird? I say this confusingly because I’ve never had this happen to me, the chicken was hard and when I dug in with the fork, it was almost crunchy in a way, I had questioned myself—is this even cooked??? It was but the texture was hard and not pleasant when consuming, the best way I could describe this is to raw but it wasn’t, I believe that it was old chicken that has been frozen for some time. Id like to mention that the first time wasn’t like this, and the salad was fresh because you could tell by the crunchiness of the rocket leaves, the chicken also has an even texture but today was very disappointing and it left me puzzled, my trust is gone… I will not be coming there again"

"Went with my partner who’d been here a good few years before and had fond memories of it. It’s changed! I was told on the phone it was advisable to book, I have no idea why as it was practically empty. We were pretty much ignored when we got there by an older woman behind the bar but hoped it would get better. The elderly woman on another table went off to find her own pepper so I should’ve known then. We ordered drinks and one pint of flat coke later we asked to send it back, I was told it was indeed real Coke by the sullen looking waitress wearing cycling shorts. She then admitted it wasn’t real Coke and did he want a bottle of that. We were waiting so long for our food that dirty glasses were accumulating on the table and at one point we put them up on the window sill. Then noticed a dirty big stain on the table cloth and a candle holder with old wax in but no candle left there on the table. We asked how much longer the food was going to be as we both had work in the morning and it turned upafter 60 minutes and I wish we’d have left 20 minutes earlier when we’d thought of doing so. When it came it was a shock to see the £27 sirloin steak. Over priced and average at best. We had to ask the waitress ‘can you please take all these dirty glasses while we eat?’ The meal was already ruined and our evening out spoiled not by the food but by the shoddy way we were treated from start to finish. Even the lemon had to be sent back! No juice, fell away from the skin into mush so god knows how long that’d been there. Apparently she needed to tell the chef but brought back more of the same. We had to quibble the bill afterwards as the pint of flat cola syrup sent back was still on there. The manageress or whatever her job title is should be embarrassed at how customers are treated but unfortunately it was obvious she didn’t care and no apology given and she treated us exactly the same. If o was on my own I wouldn’t have paid so they’re lucky we did. It was one thing after another. We came home feeling like we’d been taken advantage of and I wish I’d said more at the time. I don’t usually leave bad reviews, I chalk it up to experience and move on so you can imagine how bad it was. If you like fawlty towers you may enjoy this farce but we’ll put this down to one place we’ll never go back to and will NEVER recommend. Joke of a place. What a shame."
