Had dinner at the Sportsman in Amberley last night, a very nice steak and chips, (local butcher), very reasonable price, three pints of exception beer from the Greyhound Brewery range. I still recommend the place despite others having had a poor experience there.
Testicle Ted :bowdown: a legend in his own lunchtime, He was a decent bloke, very much a bloke who loved being the Centre of attention, plenty of charisma, and an impressive appetite for the alcoholic fayre behind his bar. Also served the most astonishing steaks and seafood.
The style and menu...
I think if you use the patio area with wonderful views over the wildbrooks, you can then use the conservatory entrance into the restaurant and bar area. Probably best to give them a call to confirm though.
Ah well, back to the Riser in Nutbourne, everyone knows about it, and it's as raggedy as always, but the beer's great, and it still has a pub grub menu together with the occasional dish with jus and pea shoots.
Well, where do I start? 5 beer pumps on the bar, only one beer available, Hepworths Sussex, which to be fair is very nice.
Sadly, for the rest, it's gone full on nobby, I feel out of place as I don't have a Range Rover/Jaguar and I forgot to wear my cufflinks with my jeans and formal shirt...
We used to stop off there on a Sunday whilst out riding, always easy to tie up the horses, so quiet around there. haven't been for a few years now, might just take a wander over early doors this evening.
Since it was taken over a month ago they've been getting into their stride, beer is excellent. As for the food, I've had delicious burgers there and Sunday roasts are both generous and very tasty. I think you may have been unlucky if you had a bad meal.
