We go the Jolly Sportsman as often as we can, for small tete-a-tete, for lunches and family gatherings. The first thing you notice is the warm welcome, and attentiveness. Then the setting: if you don't want to sit right inside, then there's the conservatory with its garden views, and weather permitting, there are tables in the beautiful gardens, with views to the South Downs in the distance. We often take our coffees out and sit under the trees. The service is impeccable and the food always good, with different selections and specials (at the moment there's a special lobster menu). And withal, it's not expensive! Al in all our favourite restaurant.

Beautiful setting Impeccable service Great value wine Mains lacked Wow! Would return and recommend

The Jolly Sportsman never disappoints. Outstanding food in a delightful location. the wine list is admirable and I would recommend the Moreau 2015 Grand Cru Chablis with the lobster. One tiny gripe - which almost knocked a star - why isn't the mayonnaise home made?

We had a lovely relaxed lunch in a beautiful setting. Great food, very good service and excellent value.

Went here for my brother's birthday on Sunday, food was excellent, staff were lovely and went above and beyond. Thoroughly recommend.
