The bar staff during our visit were pleasant. No problem there. The issue was with the food. Four of us waited at least 35 minutes before being served the Baked Camembert (2 couples sharing two portions). It was to be served with cranberry sauce and toast. Well, what a disappointment that was! Almost £15 per portion and it was served with processed brown bread, barely toasted. Very limp and completely unappetising. What not served with toasted sourdough or a decent slice of bread at least? But worse was to come. Attempting to eat the cheese, one had to be careful not to bite on RAW WHOLE GARLIC just pressed into the cheese! Two of us crunched into garlic and of course, this just about destroyed our palettes for the rest of this visit. This was just awful - we all agreed this was not a place to return too. No one asked if we were happy with the food of course. Had we not had to pay up front, I am sure none of us would have been happy to pay for this!
Called 5 mins before arriving & booked a table for two late Sunday afternoon as passing through Petworth, a really lovely old pub which is a bit of a tardis given the outside dimensions. Lovely smiley helpful young waitress & equally nice manager/landlady & faultless food. Really pleased with tripped over the Star & can't fault the place.
Superb. Nice choice of beers, good food, and terrific service. We called for a late lunch just before the kitchen shut expecting to be turned away but a very friendly landlady was only too pleased to seat and serve us. The burgers were thick and delicious, the fish and chips huge and the gammon thick and tasty. Definitely worth the visit.
We have stopped there for drinks twice and once for Sunday roast. On all three occasions the staff where friendly. The Sunday roast was superb and the service manufic. We prebooked our roast and table to ensure we had a seat and food. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area and bar. Lovely pub, worth a visit.
Not our first trip, but experience is getting progressively worse. Really lacking consistency. We went for lunch for my Dad's birthday at the weekend as he lives locally. Last time we ordered Cheesy garlic bread as aside it came as huge chunks of bread, really quite nice. This time it was 2 slices of ordinary bread, basically cheese on toast. It was servied on napkins, meaning we spent a lot of time pulling bits of paper out of the melted cheese. Really not reflective of the price. Another bit that really rubbed us up the wrong way was that we ordererd 2 portions of onion rings for the table. Each portion had 3 rings. We were sat by the kitchen and repeatedly saw portions of onion rings with 6 per plate leaving the kitchen. Why were we paying twice as much for onion rings? If you are low on supplies, or stock, take it off the menu rather than trying to cobble it together with what you have?!
