The Fontmell

We had dinner here with some friends. I think it was some of the finest food I have ever been served. Amazing chef and friendly, charming service. Perfect evening.

Went for a Sunday roast and it didn't disappoint! We both had the roast beef and it was among the tastiest beef I have ever had. It came with a dish of creamed cabbage, flavoured with chervil, which was unusual and delicious. The price of the roast was fair and good value for money. The staff were all attentive and helpful. The surroundings were very tasteful and calm and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The door to the kitchen was open some of the time and there was certainly nothing to hide in there. We had ice cream for dessert and it too was amazing. Some unusual flavours as well. There is a fair sized garden if you want to eat outside, just across the road from the pub.

Stopped here for lunch after walking on the downs above the village of Fontmell Magna. We were not disappointed....easy to park, very pleasant helpful staff, comfortable bar area where dogs are welcome and a great little restaurant area. The menu was different too....and we could not fault any of our food choices. Open from 12.00.

We enjoyed a dinner at the Fotmell. The chicken and chorizo with wedges were really tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. We look forward to enjoying more food and drinks here in the coming years.

Went for a birthday lunch only to find it was closed until the end of January. It would be a good idea if you ammended the opening hours on Google!

Some of the best pub food I've had with great and welcoming service. The squid and the ribs were phenomenally seasoned with delicious sauce. If you're at all nearby, definitely stop here!

Had a superb Sunday Eoast and dessert with our family. Beef and pork were excellent, lots of veg and a cracking gravy. We had the sticky toffee pudding and white and dark chocolate tower cake which were homemade and phenomenal. Lovely village pub. Look forward to heading back soon.

There’s a good selection of beers on tap, including a few local brews, and the prices are reasonable. We tried the pork belly and whitebait – both tasty and generous portions. It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet drink, chat with the regulars, or just relax and unwind. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
