The Noahs Ark Inn, Petworth

A tile hung seventeenth century style pub on the side of an attractive village green. A small bar area as you enter, with a room off to the right, reminiscent of a between the wars village hall, laid up for dining. On our visit on a Saturday lunchtime in September 2013 we sat in the above mentioned village hall, and enjoyed locally sourced food, well prepared and served with friendly aplomb: busy, but with a relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, to my mind, the beer choice was less than thrilling:an old favourite, now sadly diminished-Greene King Abbott Ale, together with GK’s IPA, with St Austell Tribute as guest. These beers were well kept, but I would have liked to have had the chance to try beer from Langham, for example, based just down the road. That having been said, the Ark is a cracking country pub in an idyllic setting, and we will probably return.

The perfect country Pub in the perfect setting, lovely food, great wine , good beer, lovely atmosphere .
