“ Our Favourite Place to Celebrate Grandma and I absolutely love coming here to celebrate our birthdays—it’s become our special tradition. The food is always amazing, beautifully cooked, and full of flavour. Every dish we’ve had has been consistently wonderful. What truly makes this place stand out, though, is the service. Your waiter goes above and beyond every time and makes us feel genuinely special and welcome. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels so warm, friendly, and delicious all at once. This pub is hands down our favourite place to eat, and we can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommended! ”
“ The Parsonage has a great setting in a charming historic building. We enjoyed a very good value pie & pint deal on a Tuesday evening. A friendly welcome, tasty well presented food, smooth and professional service throughout. Tarring is well worth a visit. It retains a peaceful, well preserved village centre, despite having been surrounded by suburban Worthing over the years. ”
“ What a lovey meal we have just had, food was amazing and cooked lovely, service was brilliant, not rushed like you would get at other places, definitely recommend this place, and will be going there again ”
“ It's been a while since we have visited The Parsonage, but they have a vegan menu now! The food was the usual high standard and the staff so lovely. Can't recommend highly enough! ”
“ We had a table booked for 7:30 Wednesday 14th August for 4 people. We were seated in the courtyard and it was beautiful outside under the Jumbrella - the temperature was perfect : 3 of us had the chicken skewers to start and the chicken was so well cooked it easily came off of the skewer and the garlic butter was to die for. The other had the sharing platter for 2 (the fish one) it was a perfect size for a starter and for one person even though the rest of us “helped him out” . Portion sizes perfect. For mains we had 3 steaks and the surf and turf. Really generous portion sizes, quick service, food was DIVINE it was a shame to finish. We all had the same desert the chocolate mousse choux bun and even though nobody really had room for them they went down very easily!!! We will DEFINITELY return. The manager and all of the team were so attentive, friendly and professional it was a delight to be served by them. We loved the fact that it is a dog friendly restaurant and wish that there were more restaurants like this! Keep up the good work! ”
“ Booked in for the second year running to experience the fantastic food again, opting for the 3 course set Christmas menu. A quaint, traditional venue set up to feel cosy, clean and comfortable. Service was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The food was second to none, great quality ingredients cooked well and presented to a high standard. Definitely keep room for a pudding! ”
“ Fantastic quality food for a fair price, great service by the two chaps waiting tables. All of the ingredients used throughout were of a high quality and the steak ordered came cooked as requested - medium rare which doesn't happen often! From our fish sharing starter to mains pictured, finishing with a homemade desert.. we were walking home with happy bellies. We'll be back ”
“ Five of us went there for a celebratory meal. Very impressed with the service, and the food, and the setting. Our only minor issue (and it was minor) which we all agreed on was that we felt the food was over salted on most of the dishes, we didn't add any extra obviously. Definitely not to the point where it was unedible but it was a shame as the ingredients themselves were great. Just a small constructive criticism from our group including a few people that eat out in nice restaurants a lot. With that in mind I have to say that everyone's food was cooked to perfection, including the steaks. We all agreed that we would definitely go back and look forward to going there again in the future. ”
