Terrace and Garden
Our Terrace and Garden is open for outdoor eating and drinking, come rain or shine! Please be aware some seating will be without shelter so come prepared for sunshine or showers! As always we will do our best to keep you warm with our chimineas and fire pit.
We will be opening our bbq and garden bar most weekends. Our spacious walled garden has spectacular views over the South Downs with plenty of space for dining and drinking.
Please see our opening times and food service times here.
The Restaurant
Our restaurant is now open. Adhering to guidelines, we are allowed to accept tables of up to 6 people or two households.
The elegant 60 seater restaurant has a relaxed ambience with beautiful fireplaces and a view into the kitchen, enabling customers to see Head Chef Tom Hayler hard at work, creating truly memorable dishes.
Tom and his team are passionate about working with seasonal, local produce and offering the best culinary experience, from simple homemade terrines and chutneys, to our delicious grilled lobster with confit garlic alioli and truffle fries.

Parties of 8 and over will be charged a discretionary service charge of 10% on their bill.

Drink
The Amberley Black Horse’s Bar is a great meeting place for the the village and surrounding local community of Storrington, West Chiltington and Pulborough. We have a large bar area with plenty of cosy corners so our guests can relax with a delicious house cocktail, glass of wine or one of our locally sourced real ales.
Our extensive Wine List is sourced from Ellis Wines of Richmond, purveyors of hand selected wines from around the world. During our 'extended break' we also decided to create an additional list of Emma and Johnnie’s favourite wines - please take a look here.
'A pint of local!'
We have our own cask conditioned 'Amberley’s Ale'. A classic blonde bitter, brewed for us by the award-winning Langham Brewery, based just up the road in Petworth. A very popular ale, we love it so much we use it in our fish batter!
We have some seating available for you to enjoy drinks both in the bar and also in the garden. These cannot be reserved and will be available on a first come, first served basis.
