The Merrie Harriers

A typical nice English village pub with a friendly reception. In England over from the Netherlands and staying in the area, we decide to eat dinner at the Merrie Harriers on our day of arrival. .. The first thing we noticed was, the table was very sticky, which indicated it wasn 't cleaned very well, however we still stayed to eat. The Cod Chips were ok, however the chips weren 't really crispy. The 'wholetail ' scampi were NOT wholetail.. they just a battered squares of what looked like a factory item out of a box (and definitely no tails). .. However we still decided to give the Merrie Harriers a second try the next day. We took a different table but that was also very sticky, so we decide...

I would have put zero in the review if it had allowed me to. It was definitely the worst meal we have ever eaten out. It was like a very badly overcooked school dinner. The whole thing was smothered in gravy, the broccoli was well past its use by date and had been boiled to within an inch of its life. The cabbage, soaked in gravy was also boiled till barely recognisable. The Yorkshire was overcooked and inedible. The chicken, frankly, tasted off. The roast potatoes were hard as rocks and were not roasted just barely boiled with oil on outside. For 18 pounds a head it was very unpleasant to say the least. We ate only less than 50%. When we paid the bill which we should not have done, in fact...

Just had a great Sunday roast. From someone who isn’t a great fan of Sunday roasts this one was a really nice home cooked meal. Lovely pub. Not trying to be a party pub or a gastronomic destination it’s that warm, laid back, traditional English country pub that’s becoming hard to find. What I liked about the roast was the great variety of veg given on the plate. Roast potatoes that had a bit of crispness to them and a lovely gravy.

And was amazed that they had room for us! Beautiful view lovely garden AND fantastic Sunday roast. The service was great, patient as there was 7 of us who couldn’t decide! Roasts were superb, huge portions! Burger good and the vegetarian options good. Lovely lunch. Reserva una mesa ahora

Turned up for dinner having previously dined here superbly. Landlord promptly said his chef was away and his relief couldn't be bothered to turn up. Probably a rare occurrence but nevertheless disappointing for a customer who had driven out there specially to dine.

Superb pub. Very friendly landlord, excellent food (Sea Bass cooked to perfection, Hunter's Chicken Burger excellent, and Chocolate Bread Pudding and Ice Cream to die for!! . Good atmosphere, reasonable prices, great service. Will definitely visit again.

Pie as it should be hot pork today came with proper vegetables and delicious chips and very generous gravy in a boat. Add the fact that they serve Harveys Sussex best as well and what more can you ask?

Came here for lunch to celebrate a 60th wedding anniversary. Its a lovely country pub. Food is really good. And unusual to find a pub with such good choice for vegetarians. Wish it was closer to home. Reserva una mesa ahora

Stayed at the Merry Harriers, at one of the cottage, it was a little slice of heaven. The food was excellent, had breakfast dinner. The staff were so friendly, we oved it will be going back!

Had a 5 mile circular walk from this pub. Returned to have a couple of pints of Harvey’s and a delicious steak and ale pie. On a wet day what a perfect way to end the walk!.
