Foresters Arms - Carta

First time but will certainly be returning great atmosphere, very friendly and attentive, we really enjoyed the food the attention to detail and freshness was clear!

Visited this pub a couple of years ago and it was excellent. Most recent visit was a big disappointment. Very inattentive and luck lustre welcome. Food was at best average and over priced. Such a shame as the setting is lovely.

I had a lunch here in October which was amazing and booked at that time for Sunday lunch. If you haven't visited then do so, you will not be disappointed. Both visits have been 100% food, staff, ambience, warmth, welcome all amazing Ver carta

Great atmosphere with high quality food and wine selection, very popular place with visitors and locals alike. The staff where friendly and attentive, the chef came out to chat to customers’, he created a warm and friendly atmosphere too.

First visit here and definitely won't be the last. I'm quite wary of many Sunday roast offerings but after glancing at diners plates as I entered all looked good. The best roast potatoes I've ever had out! Thanks for making crispy ones and not putting them underneath the rest of the food as is currently in vogue at many restaurants. Excellent beef served with plenty of veg. All served by really friendly people too. Thanks very much and see you soon.

The Forrester Arms in Graffham, Petworth is one of the best kept secrets in West Sussex. A pub with a genuine local friendly atmosphere added to a unique international menu with dishes not found in other pubs. The food, the atmosphere and the friendly and caring customer service offered by owner David and his staff are simply exemplary. A visit to the Forrester Arms Graffham for drinks and/or a meal indoors or in their beer garden is a must and worth the drive to West Sussex. Ver carta

Stayed here for a night on the South Downs Way with dogs in tow. From the start the atmosphere was lovely with a live singer, we had great food (burger, steak) and stayed the night. The clientele were friendly, relaxed and clearly loving having such a good local. It is countrified and a very old building so it has low doors etc, and some paint peeling in the stairs, but the room itself was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Breakfast was fantastic too. It is a real find and I’ll be recommending to friends doing the Walk.

We enjoyed a good meal here while at a local campsite. I had beef and lamb empanadas with spicy sauce and carrot and sweetcorn salad. It was absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed his steak with all the trimmings and we shared a yummy rhubarb crumble and custard. Several unusual and delicious sounding options on the menu. Service was good and the atmosphere busy and friendly. Very dog friendly with treats in the bar. We visited for drinks on several occasions sitting inside and outside in the garden. Looking forward to visiting again when in the area.

Visited as part of our holiday, stayed nearby on campsite. We ordered a Sunday roast, lovely tender beef, homemade Yorkie, tasty gravy and amazing selection of properly cooked veg. We also ordered fish and chips, lovely moist fish (probably haddock) in a thin dry crispy batter, triple cooked chunky chips, peas and homemade tartare sauce, clean plates all round, 3 cask ales on hand pull, all tried and found to be be spot on. Spoke to all the FOH staff and chef during our visit, all very friendly and amazing customer service. Shame we live so far away otherwise this could quite easily become our favourite pub. Not quite sure why this is no.2 and not no.1 in Graffham village 100/100 Ver carta
