During my recent visit to The Crabtree Inn, located at 140 Crabtree Ln, Lancing BN15 9NQ, United Kingdom, I was thoroughly impressed by both the atmosphere and the outstanding offerings on The Crabtree Inn Menu. As someone who frequently reviews UK gastropubs, I can confidently say this establishment ranks among the best in West Sussex for casual dining with character.
The Crabtree Inn Menu is a standout for its thoughtful variety and local flair. From hearty pub classics like the beer-battered cod and chips to more refined plates such as pan-seared seabass with lemon herb butter, the kitchen consistently balances flavor and presentation. I sampled the steak and ale pie, which featured buttery pastry, slow-cooked beef, and a rich gravy-easily a top-tier version of this British staple. Portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, and prices are more than reasonable for the quality.
Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also clearly labeled, showing a commendable consideration for dietary preferences. My companion enjoyed the roasted vegetable and halloumi salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and well-seasoned. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was a highlight-moist sponge, toffee sauce, and a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream made for the perfect finish.
The pub itself exudes traditional charm, with wooden beams, cozy seating, and a friendly, attentive staff. Service was prompt even during the busy lunch rush, and the team was knowledgeable about the ingredients and cooking methods.
Overall, The Crabtree Inn Menu delivers a dining experience that blends comfort with culinary flair. Whether you're a local or just passing through Lancing, it’s well worth a visit.
