Henty Arms - Arun

Ferring is fortunate to have a village pub but The Henty lacks atmosphere , it is so quiet and the lighting is too bright, background music , table and floor lamps in my opinion would make it more inviting. There is now more competition in the village so for me needs some big changes . Drinks were fine, didn’t eat, menu usual burgers, pies , fried pub food.

Very good service and the pub is kept clean and well maintained. The menu had a wide range of dishes from light bites to main meals. Unfortunately we found that either the quality of the ingredients or the way in which they were cooked/prepared for service was very poor, the overall impression being a complete lack of flavour. For example: French beans were soggy; new potatoes tasted as if reheated; chips were soggy; the sauce in the chicken pie was tasteless, translucent, luke warm gelatinous; chicken, cheese cranberry wrapped in bacon was dried out, the cheese had little flavour and there was no sign of a cranberry! If we visit again perhaps we will try a sandwich!

About a year ago I had to post,regretfully,a poor review for this pub but after a refurbishment in the last few months and having heard some decent reports we decided to give it another go. We returned with the same friends as on our last visit for a meal and were very pleased that the food now seems to be back on form. All our plates of food were nicely cooked and presented and there were certainly generous portions. Having been patrons of the pub for over 30 years it was very much a relief! Service was good and as usual very friendly. Obviously not hote cuisine but good honest pub grub. I do hope they continue to keep up this standard. My only concern was that the pub was almost empty apart from a group of regulars who came in for a beer mid evening. It was a Wednesday and we did not eat late so would have thought that it would have been busier!

A good traditional style pub with well kept beer and decent food at sensible prices. The staff are friendly and helpful and the premises spotless.

We went to a great party here recently for a friend’s sixtieth birthday All the staff were very nice, and welcoming A nice buffet was provided which included hot food, all very tasty The Henry Arms had a nice feel to it, and we will return in the future. Thank you for a lovely evening
