The Frankland Arms - Carta

I had a great experience at this pub today. The lunch was excellent and the kitchen staff clearly know what they are doing. The beer was also great and overall, a meal at this pub is good value. It was a refreshing change from the usual options in West Sussex. Thank you.

The staff try to be pleasant but don’t succeed; the food tries to be good but doesn’t succeed; the ambiance is dire and most of this comes from the landlord who probably should have gone into a different line of work; I really am having difficulty finding anything positive to say about this pub.

I had Sunday lunch here with family. It's a nice pub with a good atmosphere. We had the roast, which was OK but nothing special. The lamb was quite dry not much of it. However, the price of the roast was the same no matter which meat you have, which means it was good value. I'd go back but try a different dish. Ver carta

Excellent helpful staff, but sadly disappointing food. A very soggy pastry on my steak and ale pie. Obviously microwaved rather than oven cooked. Overcooked chips, tasty broccoli and cauliflower. My wife’s burger was tasteless, not very hot, chips as bad as mine. Portion sizes are large. Will not visit again soon. This pub should reduce size of menu, but just cook better

Came her for Sunday lunch there were 8 of us, Superb food, portions were just right, all plates of food was hot. Service was spot on staff were attentive friendly and just as customer service should be, all drinks were bought over to us didnt have to wait at the bar for anything. Will definatley be returning here. Thanks for making my mum and brothers birthday lunch great

Very poor service, rude barmaid, slow serving,waited an hour for our food and when we asked the woman was dismissive, argumentative instead of apologising and made us feel unwelcome. Once the food was delivered, no one checked if it was OK or if we wanted any dessert when we finished. Such a shame, because the food was lovely, but the service completely ruined the experience. We won't be returning. Ver carta

Today, I had lunch at Franklin Armstrong. It was not up to its usual standard. We had to wait a long time for our food, and my usual meal did not taste as good as it usually does. To make matters worse, we were charged £1 for a jug of water, something that has never happened to me at any other pub I have eaten at. It was disappointing, especially considering some of us in the group also ordered alcohol and soft drinks.

The young barman was very unfriendly, he didn’t even acknowledge us, just rude! We both decided to have a jacket potato with prawns, when it arrived (the young waitress was polite) it was a medium size potato on a huge plate, no small salad garnish just the potato swimming around on the plate! For £7.99 I expect much better presentation, it tasted okish! Nothing special, This used to be a gorgeous country pub, it’s now an eyesore, what have they done to the garden? Sorry but I will not be returning

We have enjoyed some wonderful meals at this restaurant in the past, but our most recent experience has left us hesitant to return. We ordered only one course during a weekday lunch at noon for three people, but had to wait a staggering 90 minutes for our food to arrive. By the time it finally came, we were famished. Unfortunately, some items were missing from our order, and there was no apology for the long wait. When we provided honest feedback upon paying, we were told that the delay was due to a new chef, which was not reassuring. We had to eat quickly as we hadn't anticipated such a lengthy wait and had no time for desserts. This experience was disappointing, especially after enjoying m... Ver carta
