Pubs in Arundel

“Really lovely pub, nice aesthetic.
Good outdoor seating and beer garden.
Really friendly and helpful staff.
Food was lovely.
Set us up perfectly for our walk to Arundel!”

“We were served by Connie ,a very lovely and customer attentive server/waitress.
She is constantly scanning the room and therefore aware of any situation or a customers needs premptively.
Connie is a credit to the hospitality industry and I am surprised that she hasn't been headhunted .
We will return next Goodwood revival or FOS and hope that she will still be here .
Well done to Connie and thank you to the team that train her ,.
Finally,well done to the chef and his team , perfect food during our 3 night stay.

“Visited this place to watch the match
Plenty of tv screens with different options to watch”

“Incredible find! Phenomenal food and atmosphere : )
Loved the interior as well as the very cool staff !

Edit 2025: The above was when they had a chef and operating kitchen.
Totally understand the financial pressures and no longer proving in house dining - but subsequent couple of visits do not reflect the ‘original’ experience.”

“Incredibly friendly pub - warm welcome, log fire and great food after a days walking - highly recommend”

“Excellent spot to stop with a motorhome, EHU available, toilets (when the pub is open) and water to refil with also. Owner super lovely and very welcoming. We didn't try any of the food at the time”

“I have stayed at St Mary's Gate Inn twice now, and I cannot fault it, overall.

The premises is situated directly next to Arundel Cathedral and Castle, meaning that it is steeped in History.

The rooms are five star material, in my opinion.
At the time of writing, they have been recently renovated and it absolutely shows.
The beds/bathroom facilities are immaculate, comfortable and spotless clean.
For the price you pay, you really are receiving complete, ultimate luxury.
The tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms are the icing on the cake for me.
You receive plenty of both upon arrival, and the premises even offers you treats alongside them, which take the form of shortbread and chocolate cookie, at the time of writing.

Thank you for a pleasant stay this past Saturday night; I shall absolutely return again before long.”

“Excellent pub, food and service top notch. Highly recommended stop on a country walk!”

“Nice place, with very friendly and quick staff. The food was good and the desserts too good to share :) Only thing for us was the portion sizes for the price. You can tell you're in a very touristy area. But, we recommend it if you're there!”

“Lovely Harvey's brewery tied pub, with friendly staff, the standard pub buzz and great cask beer ? with some good keg options aswell.”
