We've been here a few times now with family and friends and have never been disappointed. Such wonderful and friendly staff who have always welcomed us with a smile. The food is delicious, with fresh produce, beautifully cooked, thanks to David. The staff are so much fun joining in with my family sense of humour (you know who you are Louise and Cat). We'll certainly be back. Just remember you do need to book as it does get busy so don't just turn up. It is also looking very Christmassy at the moment and will help get you in the mood. No complaints from us xxxx

I don’t agree with the gentleman who mentioned the Curt and abrupt attitude etc I was present on that occasion and I don’t agree with him at all Cat and Louise have always been courteous and charming To be honest the gentleman in question had the attitude, and as for the chipped plates bless him it was a mistake Maybe he was bullied as a child Keep up the good works 8 Bells

We have been here a few times as it is convenient. However never been impressed! This evening made to feel we were an inconvenience! Both our plates had large chips in them! Another couple were turned away rather abruptly! Doubt we will return.

Beautiful Bolney village. Stunning. The pub was a pretty old Tudor style character pub with pool table, restaurant and lots of tables.The gammon, egg and chips were spot on and the staff were friendly. The 4 stars for service is only reflective of the fact that there was only one public facing member of staff - frankly she did really well accommodating so many people at lunchtime!Overall 5 stars. I think it's deserved.

Found this little gem en route home from a weekend away. Down a lane off the A272 towards Bolney. It was a Sunday, we didn’t want a roast and were offered light menu. Perfect hot wings and hummus dish. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Car park at the rear. Would highly recommend

We visited a year ago and sat outside had an absolutely lovely meal here. We were the only customers perhaps we picked a quiet time or maybe just as they opened I can’t remember. But I do remember there was a dog roaming round outside who was the owners dog - at first I thought the dog was fine just far away from us eating and being friendly but then as the food was served the dog came over and was under the table and even jumping up on us. I’m autistic and I’m pretty terrified of dogs - i don’t mind them if they are friendly but jumping up and getting under the table when people are eating I don’t think is ok. Sorry but I’ve had to drop a star other than that we had a great meal here.

Visiting the local wine estate, the 8 bells B&B was a perfect choice, only 15 minute walk through the countryside paths to reach the estate. Parking was across the road in the pub carpark. Room was fresh, clean, with a big shower, and roll top bath.Breakfast was across the road in the pub, with choices made the day before.

Lovely traditional country pub in the heart of the village. Service was a bit slow but, we werent in any rush. Food quality was excellent and generous portions. The lady that served us was very friendly and chatty.
