Price
Pros:
"Very reasonably priced."
"Prices are very good."
"Good value for money. We walked along the river and the dogs had a swim. We will be back."
"Had a birthday celebration here for my wife and her twin sister. We ordered a buffet for 18 people which was very good value for money."
"Good menu selection all prepared freshly, worth the wait at peak times."
"Excellent value for money too. Will be making the effort to go back even though we are in Hampshire!!!!!!"
"The only downside is it can be a little pricey but it does have a 'two courses for £10' option."
Cons:
"Prices above average for food, also included an obligatory tip added to the bill, which for a pub is very disappointing."
"Portion size- very little for the high price one is expected to pay."
"Staff were very friendly, although prices a little high. I do not understand why pubs charge 'city centre' prices for a countryside location?"
"£15 for essentially an onion bhaji in a bun is a bit of a stretch."
"We were too late for food the last time we called in and so had to have a pot of tea, crisps and nuts and it was rather expensive!"
"Food not up to scratch expensive for what you were served."
Location
Pros:
"Beautiful location on the River. Very dog friendly."
"The whole area is quite picturesque."
"The setting for the pub is delightful on the river by the historic stone Bridge now only used for walking."
"Beautiful location!"
"The location of the pub is idyllic and from what I can tell would be a cracking place to come and sit in the garden in the summer!"
"Lovely pub and location. The bridge view from the decking was great."
"Love this little spot sat right besides the Arun river with magnificent views of the water and bridge."
Cons:
"Without the location I cannot see the business surviving."
"Awkward place to drive into, unfriendly greeting when we climbed the steps to get to the bar so we left."
"If you are using the river access the Owner requests that you Do Not Park in the car park as it is quite small."
"The pub we visited did not resemble the place in your picture."
"Unfortunately the new management do not like anyone that has come off the river by kayak, paddleboard etc."
"Like many others we brought our paddle boards to launch from their place after we had a few drinks there and was told we were not allowed to park there as we did not order food."
"There is ample parking however, it was noticed there are a few that abuse this to gain access to the river."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food is spectacular!"
"Really great food. Lovely river location."
"The succulent roast, cooked to perfection, was nothing short of divine."
"Food well cooked and well presented."
"The food was amazing (I had the crispy mushroom and vegan feta burger)"
"Every item was beautifully cooked and flavoured / Seasoned to another level."
"The food was superb...Sunday lunch. Beef was just rare enough."
Cons:
"I had ham, eggs and chips today and found the ham rather salty and not good quality."
"Wanted it to be great, but food was lackluster."
"Prices above average for food, also included an obligatory tip added to the bill, which for a pub is very disappointing."
"Soup OK but was green in colour when it was leek and shallot and didn't taste anything like the description."
"Went here with my walking group. Most of us were happy with meals and had good portions. I unfortunately ordered the duck which came with new potatoes. There was a generous amount of tasty tender duck however there were 3 small thin round slices of potato and that was it, very disappointing."
"Sadly the food wasn’t to our expectation, particularly given the amazing photos on the website!"
"The fish came with a teaspoon worth of pea puree which was pointless and not enough of it."
Service
Pros:
"The staff are all so helpful and chatty."
"Prompt, friendly and efficient service."
"The staff could not have been more helpful."
"Staff are friendly, enthusiastic and mostly attentive."
"The service was welcoming and friendly although I waited some time for a second drink as the waitress forgot."
"The staff were brilliant. I booked a table for lunch and my date was an hour late...they kept our table."
"Very helpful and friendly Staff."
Cons:
"Awkward place to drive into, unfriendly greeting when we climbed the steps to get to the bar so we left."
"Absolutely horrible the server we had was a young female and was working outside she made me and my family feel very unwelcome and was very rude."
"I felt the operations director did not want to serve my family drinks or food."
