Four of us arrived in the restaurant (without booking) midweek and were eventually shown to a table. The lady was friendly and helpful but no one seemed in charge and there was a lot of coming and going with presumably staff around the back of the bar area. The starters were fine (I had pigeon breast which was well cooked) but the mains were very slow in arriving and generally average in quality. There was no real atmosphere in the establishment and we got the impression the staff were leaderless and just going through the motions with no incentive to go the extra mile etc.

Sunday lunch with our car club. Bar service struggled to serve 30 and ran out of Bombay Sapphire. I then had bream which came with new potatoes and loads of vegetables if a bit similar including kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and swede. Fish was excellent and followed with sticky toffee pud and ice cream, also good.Service good and all served in good time.

I must apologise to the proprietors of The Elsted Inn for my less than favourable review last time, I hadn't realised everything was prepared from scratch, so I went back for a second go.My friend and I started by sharing a mezzo platter, delicious. nice mix of flavours and textures. Then we both had the ravioli, an unfortunate unavoidable downside to food prepared from scratch is that there can only be one veggie option offered, and one option of most meats. This is more than compensated for by the sheer quality of the offerings. Lemon sponge cake for me, and coffee ice cream for my friend followed, both of which were prefect. We didn't book in advance which meant we had the only available table next to the Trotton fete committee jamboree, with lots of loud voices and people squeezing past. This isn't a criticism of the pub in the least, business is business, but next time we will book and ask for the table by the door if there is a big party booked in. I would think mid week would be quieter rather than a Saturday. Attentive staff without being too intrusive. Fabulous food. very reasonable price at seventy pounds with drink for three courses, for a meal cooked while you wait and not microwaved. One of my places of choice on the rare occasions I eat out. Don't miss it.Dear Bellerophon c,I can't thank you enough for trying us out again, and writing a second review to note your altered opinion. We are lucky to have lovely customers who leave great reviews - but, of course, we have the occasional poor review. I am really humbled that you apologised, and can only assume that we didn't explain the menu (or other things) properly to you on your previous visit. Thanks for coming back! I am delighted that you had a lovely time, and enjoyed your meal. That evening was more chaotic than normal, partly due to the fete 'after-party', so I am grateful that you were able to be understanding, and had a lovely meal despite the 'mayhem'. As you rightly state, we are normally a little quieter and have less moving around the restaurant. Hope to see you again.Best wishes,Thais
