    Stopped in for lunch at the Selsey Arms with my folks after spending the beautiful Spring morning…read moreat West Dean Gardens a couple of minutes away. Trade was just starting to pickup - figure it is a good stopping point on the Centurion trail. Staff were really friendly, grabbed a round of drinks and menus. Plenty happening, with something for everybody - specials board for the weekend, larger and smaller meals. Fish, meat and veggie options. Snacks/appetisers, full meals, sandwiches, burgers, kids menu. We ordered some sandwiches. Food arrived promptly. The sandwiches were generously-filled with quality ingredients. I had a bacon and brie, really nice bacon, good thick slices of cheese, on tasty local bread. A little 'slaw and a lightly-dressed side-salad too. Absolutely delicious, and great value. Washed down with a little Pale Ale - it was perfect end to the trip. By the time we left the bar was almost full with both locals and visitors. 10/10 would go again.

    Awful place. I went there last Sunday afternoon with my husband, after we went for a drive to look…read morefor a nice village pub. We didn't find that at the Selsey Arms. In fact, the landlord was the rudest man I've ever met. When we went in we were glared at instead of greeted, and when I asked if the pub offered cashbask, the snappy reply I received was not for strangers we don't. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, I bought some drinks, but the terrible service continued when the landlord threw my debit card back at me, instead of passing it, after I paid. In addition the surfaces were all sticky, the glasses weren't clean and the toilets were filthy. If I could give a minus rating, I would. Definitely one to miss, especially if you're not a local person.

    Fantastic local pub with a beautiful garden. Feels very safe during COVID, with hand sanitisers…read moreplaces throughout, comfortable distances between tables, and a one-way system.

The local beers were room temperature as was to be expected. Being an American I am very used to cold beer. The flavor of the beer was so good I almost did not notice the lack of cold...almost. I guess another feature of true local pubs is if they run out of the menu items they are out! First and second options were gone so that was disappointing. The third option was good enough. The service was outstanding in every way. If you are ever in this part of England I would suggest stopping in for a pint and stepping out back for a look over the countryside.

    This is my third time here...this time with my wife and two visiting friends…read more You book for indoors but can choose to sit outdoors...you go in having chosen your outdoor table number... The hours are short - booking is necessary especially on summer days / evenings...the view is spectacular...but if you don't like chickens running around free, then its not for you The menu is not large but you get good-sized portions...I can recommend the sausages and the lamb Parking yes you can, just, but if not, come out, go left then right...there's the village hall and another area just before there on the left Good reception, good service, good food, reasonable prices We will definitely return

    Had a lovely lunch here mid-week…read more Enter the old pub, that has a real community feel - locals at the bar and some hand-carved walking sticks for sale against the wall. A good selection of real ale, sets off the old beams and friendly land lady. Moving with pint in had to the large garden overlooking the south downs way (see photos) we soon had steaming masses of food arriving. My lamb with apricots and apples was sumptuous. The liver and bacon my sister had was adequate, but the fish pie was a real winner, salmon, prawns, white fish in a creamy mash. Mmmmm. By the piles of benches stacked against a barn it looks like it gets very busy in the summertime - and according to some locals it "isn't as good as it was before it was discovered" but all in all a great lunch and think it is a great find. Heartily recommend, hope some other Qypers can discover it too.
