About The Boars Head
The Boars Head occupies an old farmhouse on Worthing Rd in Horsham, converted into a beer house after 1830 and now run as a pub with a restaurant and outside terrace seating. The kitchen lists 84 dishes, including Marinated Mixed Olives, a Scotch Egg, and Cajun Spiced Fresh Squid, alongside Sunday roasts served with a choice of lamb or pork. A veggie wellington stands in as an alternative to the roast, served with the same trimmings, and sirloin steak comes with fries and onion rings. Real ales are poured alongside standard lagers such as Kronenberg. Table service runs throughout the meal, and the pub takes walk-ins without a pre-booked table. It opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Pork belly is the dish reviewers name most, called great, alongside a Sunday roast where lamb and pork were described as gorgeous and a veggie wellington came with everything the roast had. Diners also mention a steak and ale pie, a sirloin steak cooked pink exactly as the reviewer likes it, and a crumble and chocolate brownie for dessert. The food is repeatedly called delicious, full of flavour and well presented, and several describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, with one server praised as attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The complaints are small but specific. One reviewer found the sirloin slightly chewy and hard to cut in its bowl with paper lining, a friend thought the adult cod portion small next to the kids' size, and another wished for more normal pub pints than Kronenberg, with no Moretti or Cruzcampo. A different visitor was pleased by two real ales. One couple who arrived without a booking were welcomed in rather than turned away.

“Visited this lovely pub just over a week ago, very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cookery, unpretentious, excellent portion size and real value for money. A particular shout out to Millie our Waitress, who was attentive, knowledgeable without ever being overbearing. I’ve eaten at a lot more swanky places who get some of the basics wrong, this place reminds me that you don’t have to pay £200 ahead for a really nice meal out”

“Editing original as went back to eat and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Food tasty and well presented. Great service, nice quiet atmosphere. Just what we wanted. Original review: Popped in for a quiet afternoon drink with family. Great friendly service, a wide choice of drinks including two real ales. Is an old farmhouse converted to a beer house post 1830 and is now a comfortable pub with restaurant and outside terrace seating with a great view. We didn’t eat on this occasion but did have a look at the menu which looks very good. Enough choices without there being too many choices and something to please everyone. We will definitely return to eat.”

“It’s unusual to find food and service of this quality in country pubs which , in our experience have been ignominious. Not here , A warm welcome from Maddie , an excellent well priced two course lunch menu that was presented beautifully and delivered on flavour and texture. I even ate my greens 🫢We had the pork belly and the steak and ale pie. A delectable desert crumble and delicious chocolate brownie . We particularly asked for the chefs names ( and yes real chefs here ) So thank you to Youseff and Alphonso,, we really appreciate your quality and finesse .”
