“We booked a table for date night tonight. First time we visited was 2024 during the D-Day Celebrations in the village just popping in for a couple of drinks. Really friendly on the phone when booking. At short notice we ended up bringing our booking forward as we were given tickets to a show at 7:30. Couldn’t have been more accommodating - even let us pre-order to make sure we had time to spare. Arrived to a friendly welcome. Got chatting about the history of the pub - so knowledgeable and really interesting. Sat down to eat 15 minutes early which meant we didn’t need to rush. Lovely atmosphere. Spotlessly clean. Food was absolutely delicious and first class service. Honestly, this pub is exceptional. Already messaged friends about popping back for a double-date night and will be in for drinks during the 2025 D-Day Revival weekend. Thanks to the staff for looking after us so well. If you’re considering eating here - stop considering - just book it! Can’t wait to go back!”

Came back to this pub. Again, absolutely fantastic. We ordered a seafood platter for two. Fresh nice texture on batters on each food element. Served in a great looking way. I cover 20- 50 pubs restaurant hotels in my job role. Per month. This pub has to be one of the best. The location is excellent set in a small quaint country village. The pub itself large open fire good outdoor spaces. Excellent professional, friendly, polite staff. Always willing to help. The manager has an excellent character. Makes himself approachable gets involved. This is how a public house should be run. Bring back pubs like this . I would highly recommend coming here. 👌

Went to the Golden Lion, Southwick for the first time in Dec 2024. I'm gluten free/coeliac and had checked they could cater for me. Nothing on the menus with gf but very helpful staff checked with the chef and presented loads of options. Party of 4 all agreed this was a very good find - the food was truly wonderful (possibly the best I've had in the whole of 2024) and the staff all friendly and very relaxed none pushy service. Hoping to go back in January as been dreaming about the food since.
