"I bought us a voucher at Xmas for us to use for lunch here and I was pleased my husband had quoted the number when booked as it was lost in the meantime. there was no problem when we arrived, using the voucher even though we couldn't produce it. There were four or five other tables and service was good, matching the food. The choices on the menu for the voucher offer was limited, but nice enough, and my pheasant main course was splendid, cooked as I had requested, and incredibly succulent and tender, a very good job indeed. My husband enjoyed his burger very much, though they had run out of mayo, he was happy with it anyway. We ordered from a choice of desserts and enjoyed our syrup tarts, a mite overcooked but generous portions and nice enough. We had coffee in the lounge, a pleasant and elegantly furnished room overlooking the garden, and service was good there as well. Extra to our voucher cost, (about £66) we ordered wine, two generous and excellent glasses of red wine, and the hot drinks for about £31. The ambience and the charm of the ancient building as well as the food and service made it something we would repeat. We used to live nearby and had many lunches here which were always pretty good, so I was pleased it had not disappointed this time.... restaurants these days are struggling to survive, post pandemic, post Brexit etc., and I would like to see this, as well as it's sister hotels, the spread eagle at Midhurst and the Bailiffscourt at Climping, both with spas, survive and thrive."
