The Fishbourne - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Hazel Thomas: Booked a Christmas party evening here 20th December as we knew the food is always good. Just the two of us but what a lovely evening. It was a full house I think, but the food was hot, swiftly served by staff that were smiling, attentive and very efficient. I had salmon (no sign of dryness) husband had the Turkey & pork, all fresh vegetables were hot and delicious. Three courses followed by a disco that had the dance floor full. Great atmosphere helped along by staff that were a credit to the establishment.

5 /5 mark williams: Awesome food. First class service. Did Sunday lunch and it was excellent. We had Roast beef with all the trimmings. Sea Bass on a bed of prawn risotto. Scampi and chips.

5 /5 Anthony Bryant: Ive recently used the Fishbourne Inn for my mums wake. The whole experience was very positive. The staff were very helpful throughout the whole process and were able to cater for exactly what I wanted. I arranged with them for approximately 25 hot meals. As alot of the people attending had to get ferries back to the mainland I was keen to ensure there was no delays with the food. On the day the staff were superb. All the meals were served very quickly and the quality of the food was very good.

1 /5 Steven Greaves: I’d like to address the manager’s frankly insulting responses regarding the parking charges — having now received one myself. We’re told there are “seven signs in the car park, so it’s unlikely they’ll be missed.” And yet, they are being missed. Repeatedly. It was dark. It’s a pub car park. Customers arrive to eat or drink — not to conduct a perimeter sweep for small-print parking warnings. If multiple patrons are falling foul of this system, the problem isn’t the customers. We’re also told that staff are trained to ask every customer to enter their registration number. Really? When I walked in there were perhaps four customers in total, an empty bar, and two staff members with nothing pressing to do. Not one of them mentioned entering my registration. Not once. At some point, common sense has to prevail. Instead of hiding behind policy and blaming paying customers, perhaps the management should examine how poorly this system is being implemented. Hospitality businesses are supposed to make guests feel welcome — not ambush them with £100 demands after the fact. It’s hard not to conclude that this arrangement is a rather convenient revenue stream. After all, if it genuinely worked as claimed, so many customers wouldn’t be getting caught out. For the record, I won’t be paying. I can prove I was there at the time and date in question. If they’re so confident in their position, they’re welcome to test it in court.
