The White Horse has a good reputation, so we popped in for Sunday lunch, with high hopes. A rather sub-average meal, with an above-average price tag, awaited us. The manager created a few problems that didn’t exist, which were later solved by exhausted bar staff. Decor was ‘catalogue’ country pub. Against my review, it has to be said that the place was full, so while I won’t be back, it would appear that they are bringing in the customers. They must therefore be doing something right. But I would be hard pressed to tell you what that ‘something’ is.

The White Horse at Chilgrove has been a firm favourite for many years, and our recent visit for Sunday lunch did not disappoint! Enormous portions, good menu, excellent service, even EV charging too. We always take the scenic route through Petworth and Singleton, thoroughly recommended.

We stayed overnight at The White Horse between Christmas and New year and were blown away by the attentive service from all of the team. Nothing was too much trouble, from booking taxis, a late night snack when I am sure the kitchen should have been closing to taking genuine care of our dog. This is a truly dog-friendly pub! All of our tastes were catered for at breakfast, luxurious toiletries in the bathrooms, clean spacious bedrooms, plus a bathtub with a view in our bathroom, (Rabbit) couldn't ask for more! Thank you Sarah and all the team that looked after us during our stay, 5 * service, highly recommend.

Visiting the area for a wedding at Farbridge. On arrival the staff were SO welcoming. Our room was perfect and our dog loved the large lawned area to run around in and chase his ball and meet up with the other doggy visitors. Our evening meal was simply fabulous and the visiting brass band and Carol singing only added to the festive feel the beautiful decorations had created. I have never seen such an extensive breakfast menu, and the quality of the food was superb. We will DEFINITELY be looking to stay at a Butcombe In again and taking advantage of the Muddy paws offer

Right on the South Downs Way. I stayed here on a Monday after cycling from Eastbourne. I arrived late and the staff kindly let me order food ahead so I could eat on arrival. I had the superb mushroom gnocchi and croissant choc pudding. Food and beer was fabulous and my room was so cosy with a lovely high topped bath. Excellent value and lovely service.

Amazing private room for an excellent group dining experience, decorated beautifully & kept warm. Some updates needed to the toilet attached. Great meal, Artichoke Risotto recipe needs work or take off the menu, it was quite bad, very bland & rice not cooked well, don’t order that starter, as all the others were liked. Ox Cheek Wellington & Turkey main courses were delicious. Unfortunately for us, there was not enough staff on our Saturday night for drinks or meal flow, but friendly staff and lots of smiles when they were available.

One of my favourite locations and staycations. I’ve stayed here probably 4 months in total over the past 3 years The news that the beautiful baths will be removed when it’s refurbished will definitely in my opinion be a big mistake. If it’s managements decision to make this even more corporate and similar to a premier inn, then you will loose most of your Wedding parties and similar guests. A result of a few people that prefer a shower which is also available. Elizabeth

What can I say, I have never been so disgusted as I have been by my treatment from this establishment, I had a small complaint about being charged £25.00 for three smallish scallops served as a main course, but could not speak on the evening as I was not paying. The following day I telephoned and left a message and also emailed, no response, I forwarded the email again, nothing, I have telephoned again twice with a promise the manager will get right back to me, but nothing. Three scallops for £25.00 is frugal in the extreme, just look what The Ivy offer. This was a minor issue that has grown into one the leaves a very bad taste, it appears the attitude is lets rip off the customers and if the don't like it they can get lost. A shame good decor, friendly staff, but something seriously wrong with the senior management.

Lovely place with great staff but OMG the food prices are astronomical for a pub! Over £10 for most starters and often more than £24 for a main. At least the alcohol prices weren't too bad though. But won't be going back to eat any time soon, even though the quality of the food was pretty good. P.s. can't comment on the hotel part as only went for food and a drink.

Lovely pub but very disappointed in the food. Lunch time menu abysmal. Very limited choice so chose a Ploughmans sandwich. It arrived looking very uninviting no salad garnish of even a few crisps. The bread seemed very dry and realised that it was cold toast! The drinks were very overpriced. We went elsewhere for dessert and coffee. Did mention the poor choice on menu but not the poor food as we were out for the day celebrating my birthday. So disappointed!!!

Over the years we have been to the White Horse on numerous occasions including staying overnight at least twice and with family. There is a lovely circular walk (amongst others) you can do to burn off some calories before tucking into some food. Last Sunday we went for a roast which by all accounts was lovely. The only thing that wasn’t top notch was the service. We had to ask for our table to be cleared after having our mains and had to ask for the waiter to come back over to take our orders for deserts some 15minutes + after having the table cleared. The bill, when asked for (no sign of any staff member checking to see if we wanted it) was not calculated properly (overcharged by £9 which isn't huge but just shouldn’t happen). There was an item on the bill that we didn’t order. When we pointed out we didn’t have that item of food the reply was ‘we don’t have enough buttons on the till to name every item’. It’s simply just a re write on the till. We will be back but just wish the service a little more attentive and caring. 2 people, 2 mains and 2 deserts with a small wine and 1 larger at £90+. Fully appreciate the costs of running a venue such as the White Horse but if prices are premium then service needs to follow suit.

I’m sure a lot of the food and staff are very nice but we stopped off as a group for coffee and was shocked at how expensive it was (£4 cappuccino). Tolerable as a once off if it had been a decent coffee but it was just warm milk with a bit of flavouring. Really unpleasant. The whole table who had coffee felt the same. We did mention it to a member of staff, but it was just a “sorry about that” reaction.

Beautiful food and wonderful service from the young bar staff. I had a slightly unexpected comment from a much older lady behind the bar, as I was taking one of my clients to the toilet after the meal.... Excuse me but you haven't paid?!?! I replied yes I'm quite aware of that but I need to take one of my clients to the toilet! I thought it would be patently obvious where I was going but I guess she saw me as one of 'those' people who try and do a runner... Even though I was with two disabled clients whom I was supporting... Still nevermind... The food is fantastic and that is the main thing!

Had lunch here midweek. Can't fault the service or food...BUT i don't understand why the lunch special menu at a set price of £21.95 for 3 courses, you can't have just 2 courses at this price! We ordered a main stating lunch time menu but when they took our dessert orders we were told we couldn't have them from the special menu as we not ordered all 3 courses! Seem a bloody daft idea! Moving forward we would order a starter and not eat it to save the extra cost!!!

This was my first visit to The White Horse. I chose it as a venue for a funeral tea as it was near to the church on the edge of Chichester and the setting seemed ideal. It was perfect ! The staff at every stage in the planning were kind and helpful , of course , but it is what happens on the day that counts. Everything was prepared to a high standard and all that I had requested was granted. In all , I had close contact with three members of staff , all of whom were cheerful and so efficient. It meant I and my family could relax with confidence that all was well , which is so important at a function such as this. Thank you to all at The White Horse .

Beautiful pub in lovely rural location. Staff were all consistently friendly and efficient. The food was really tasty, well-presented and there was a good choice. My room was comfy and quiet and had the best bathtub I've ever had a soak in. It's hard to be as enthusiastic as I'd like to be because I just didn't feel the room was worth the fairly hefty price tag. Admittedly, it was a Sat night when I stayed but the hike up in cost for a night seemed a little unfair. Charging over £300 for a room and describing it as 'boutique' sets up expectations which weren't met in terms of decor and additions to the room such as cotton wool pads, shower cap, robes, etc. I don't think a bin should be plastic in a boutique room and I think towels should be big and fluffy. The breakfast offering wasn't generous as the menu asked guests to just chose one dish. In other boutique stays there are a range of cereals, fruit, juices and pastries available to help yourself to as well as hot food to order which brings with it a more generous spirit. These things probably sound a bit petty and I wouldn't have minded if I hadn't paid so much. I've recently stayed in a shepherd's hut which had more in terms of comfort items and was more boutique-like and was a lot less money. I can even stay at a Pig hotel for less per night. So, overall, I left feeling a bit disappointed. I think you could either lower your prices slightly or visit other boutique stays and make sure your offering is in line with them. I fully accept that it's my choice to stay and I did know the cost beforehand but I was expecting more for my money. You have lots of potential and you are so nearly a perfect stay that I've bothered to write this long review as I want you to be better!

4 soaking walkers and a moderately well-behaved Border terrier received a warm welcome for lunch from Sarah and the team. We thought that the daily menu (3 courses for £21.95) was particularly good value and offered delicious choices. The food, along with well-kept Butcombe ale and a lovely house Shiraz, was beautifully served at a really enjoyable pace. Nothing was too much trouble - we were so grateful and appreciated the team's friendly, professional approach very much. We look forward to returning, hopefully for the night, in order to make the most of everything that the wonderful White Horse has to offer. Thank you very much to the Team!

I recently had the displeasure of dining at The White Horse, and I must say it was an experience I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that the staff had a blatant disregard for non-locals. Despite there being empty tables, we were made to wait for what seemed like an eternity. Once seated, the rudeness of the staff was undeniable. They seemed to take joy in making us feel unwelcome, clearly treating us differently because we were foreigners. This level of unprofessionalism is shocking in this day and age. The food, when it finally arrived, was mediocre at best and certainly not worth the agonising wait. I would strongly advise anyone considering a visit to The White Horse to think twice, especially if you’re from out of town. The staff’s behaviour was not just unprofessional but downright discriminatory.

Unusally they have two Tesla chargers which we drive but one was charging and someone had just parked needlessly in other bay, not worth making a fuss.

I'm so glad we chose the White Horse for a birthday meal with my son. The food was delicious; the first taste of the scallops with celeriac was an OMG moment! The chicken Kyiv was the moisest chicken I've tasted in years and the venison just gorgeous. Service was great, helping with menu choices, a welcoming smile and a joke or two shared. Away from the restaurant area the rest of the pub oozed quality and comfort in an old fashioned pub way. I would love to come back soon for lunch with friends and then while away an afternoon in the bar with them. Maybe stay overnight too - it would be rude not too!

A set 2/3 course menu was on and the price was around 30 for 3 courses which we all went for and for the quality of food was a fair price. Some great pubs in the area here, but taking everything into consideration this comes top of the bunch! Well done White Horse.

8 family members and I spent Mothers Day here, which was my first (and last) visit. The staff were very welcoming and the pub is lovely. However the food was bordering on being inedible. The starter of trout was virtually tasteless and very little of it. The main course of roast beef was cold, the vegetables sitting in water, (microwaved I suspect) two slices of beef which were very substandard. Burnt Yorkshire puddings which were replaced with fresh ones (and very good) why not serve these first time? The roast belly of pork was a joke, just a ring of fat with a tiny amount of meat no delicious crispy crackling on offer. My mother-in-law had the fish, ‘Catch of the Day’….but appeared to be a supermarket bought piece of salmon which was overcooked. The only saving grace was a couple of deserts which were ‘acceptable’. A deduction of £70 was taken off the bill, which in my view was insufficient considering more than 50% of the food was not eaten. To summarise, there are many more establishments offering superior food at similar costs and would surely compensate their customers when they get it wrong.

I've visited a number of times for drinks and food and couldn't recommend The White horse enough. The ladies and gentlemen serving are very polite and always make you feel welcome. The building/interior itself is Very well laid out, clean and tidy. Windows near the back or the beer harden are the perfect place for a drink, winter or summer. Both the food and choice for food is incredible. I highly recommend their burger it's the best I've ever tasted in my life! I haven't stayed there so can't comment on the rooms but if everything else is to go by I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to stopping by later on in the year.

The cutest country pub! Beautifully decorated inside, the food was absolutely stunning and the team were so friendly. They had an amazing selection of wines and the team were very helpful with food and drink recommendations. Would recommend!

Very friendly staff. Nicely sized room. In over 7 years of living in the UK/travelling to the UK for business it is the only shower I encountered with decent water pressure. It is a shame breakfast starts late (8:00) but a breakfast platter is offered that can be collected the evening before.

We come here often for a little get away, and every single time is faultless. The service, food and the rooms are just amazing. We bought our dog along and even they are welcomed with dog treats and blankets for sitting by the fire. Sam and Sarah really have thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable for all, hence why we keep coming back, this place is a home from home for us. Thanks again guys keep doing what your doing

We spent 2 nights as an extended family break - 8 adults, 1 18month old and a dog! We chose this pub/hotel as we were all arriving from different parts of the country to meet up to celebrate a birthday. The rooms were great being on the ground floor and all near each other around the garden area. All of the staff were great and more than helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was good but one little niggle was that we arrived on Sunday and although we had pre-booked a table to eat in the evening, unfortunately they had been busy during the day and had therefore run out of a few things. Also, at breakfast on both mornings they had run out of orange juice but were able to offer alternatives but maybe a trip to the supermarket might have been an idea just to get some emergency juice whilst waiting for the delivery. The pub/hotel is in a great location close to Chichester etc., but being out in the country meant that it was lovely and quiet. All the staff we met were more that accommodating but Alana deserves a special mention for dealing with us as such a large group especially as the 18th month old had recently 'found her feet' and her voice and was a making the most of running around. Alana was very good and we hope that we didn't disrupt the other diners too much! We would thoroughly recommend this pub for a short break and we have, as a family, all said that we would be happy to have another birthday mini-break there anytime.

Just back from a really lovely couple of days at the White Horse in Chilgrove. We booked the muddy paws package which was great value. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, the food was great and our room was fab. We loved the big copper bath, the bar and the cosy dining room as well as how welcome you made us feel, including our dog, who had a great time. Lovely long walks all round, we really appreciated the maps and advice. Beautiful countryside and a great place to stay all round. Thanks so much.

The last time I looked to go to The White Horse was probably two years ago but was put off by some of it’s reviews. Thankfully I decided to give it another try on Valentines night and have to say everything was absolutely perfect. The staff were so welcoming and keen to meet or exceed expectations and the food and drink was to die for. Priced accordingly I would strongly recommend a visit.

We absolutely love this place! Just booked to stay a third time. It’s a lovely pub in a quiet country location but we particularly love it as its rooms are perfect for when we wish to spend a few days walking in the countryside with our doggie. Plenty of parking, rural location, good food, nice sized rooms all with your own front door onto an area of green. Always a great, relaxed stay.

We really like The Earl Of March. The atmosphere is good. In summer it's great eating in the garden. The service and staff are lovely. But, they do really need to realise that there are a lot more vegetarians around now than there used to be. Including vegetarian children. The children's menu has not even one vegetarian option. Even something simple like pasta and sauce would do. On the adult menu, your only choice is a cauliflower dish at the moment, which is very tasty. But, unless you fancy putting together a load of sides to make up a meal, which you shouldn't really have to do in order to have a meal, the cauliflower dish is your only option on the menu. So, all round, an excellent place to visit/eat, with lovely staff, but they need to give some thought to adding some vegetarian dishes to their menus for vegetarian adults and certainly for vegetarian children, who have no vegetarian options at all on the kids menu.

Came in not expecting the fire to be lit as there wouldn’t be many people in. How wrong was I. This is a pub that lights the fire and keeps it going. It’s a welcome and not dependent on how many people are in! Brilliant. Can’t thank them enough. Shame other local pubs don’t follow suit.

My Wife and I had a lovely meal here which was a 20 minute walk from a well known touring park nearby. They are a very dog friendly establishment, and accommodating our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ( Dexter) was not a problem. Everything was cooked to perfection, and all the young ladies waiting on the tables were friendly and always smiling. We enjoyed our food so much we booked at short notice for the Sunday lunch which many people rate very highly. I am now one of those people,and I would say if you are in the area then book a Sunday lunch here, you will not be disappointed, and I think we can say that it is probably one of, if not the best dining out Sunday lunches we have experienced. We booked again for New Years Eve, and as with the previous two visits, the food and service were excellent. Well done to all the staff at the Richmond Arms, you are doing an excellent job in an industry which is tough at the minute.
