Good service



This is evidently my week to receive excellent service, all of which deserves to be praised. I hardly think that the traffic on this site will help places I recommend, but The Star at Petworth in West Sussex deserves recognition. We walked there across lovely countryside and - owners of restrictive pubs in mid-Devon who only serve carveries and stop serving at two on Sundays please take note - were pleased to see that a full menu was available till four on Sundays. The one slight problem was that we were a party of eight and there wasn't any room outside for us. No problemo: we'll just move one of the big tables outside and then you can have the best seats in the house, sitting more or less in the town square. The food was all very tasty (I had a ploughmans with chips!), the portions large and the service exceptionally friendly all the way through the meal. This was a more or less polar opposite to my experiences in mid-Devon for we felt really welcomed by this pub and they genuinely wanted us to enjoy being there, which we did a great deal, so I hope to be back one day to explore Petworth House and more of the really idyllic countryside roundabout.
