There’s a reason so many people searching for the best Sunday roast near Petworth and Midhurst end up making the short drive out to Lickfold.
At The Three Horseshoes Inn, in Lickfold, Sunday lunch isn’t an afterthought, with our dedicated Sunday lunch menu, it’s the main event, built around local, seasonal produce and cooked to perfection.
What makes our Sunday roast worth the drive to Lickfold
Every roast starts with quality meat and classic all-the-trimmings sides, but it’s the little things that set it apart. Choose from our Roast Sirloin of Beef (GFA), cooked medium-rare with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a proper chef’s gravy, alongside Roast Breast of Chicken (GF) and Roast Loin of Pork, each finished the same generous way.
If you’d rather go meat-free, our Butternut Squash & Lentil Wellington is a genuine highlight in its own right, not an afterthought tacked onto the bottom of the menu, served with all the same trimmings as everything else. Many meat-eaters often opt for this, it’s that good!
Extra Yorkshire puddings, dauphinoise potatoes, maple roast carrots and beets are all there for the taking if you want to make more of your table.
And whether you’re gluten-free or bringing someone who is, our menu clearly marks which roasts are GF (gluten free as served) or GFA (gluten free available on request), so there’s no guesswork before you order.
And once the roast is cleared, save room – a GF Sticky Toffee Pudding with toffee sauce, honeycomb and vanilla ice cream is the way most tables round things off.
Why our dog-friendly pub and beer garden matter as much as our menu
Part of what makes a Sunday roast here different from a roast anywhere else is the setting.
The Three Horseshoes Inn is a genuine historic country pub, with original beams and an open fireplace that makes a winter Sunday lunch feel exactly as it should.
In warmer months, our garden comes into its own for a slower, sunnier Sunday. Either way, it’s the kind of place people linger in rather than rush out of.
We’re also proudly dog-friendly, with water bowls and treats on hand – so if your Sunday walk usually ends with the dog waiting outside a pub door, here your fury friends are welcome to join you.
Booking your table
Sunday roasts are our busiest sitting of the week, and tables do go quickly, especially over the colder months when a proper roast dinner is exactly what a Sunday calls for. To avoid disappointment, book a table with us in advance.
Whether you’re coming from Petworth, Midhurst, or further afield, we think it’s a drive worth making.
