Ate here on the way to a concert at Chichester cathedral. The food was very good but they had run out of chicken, which was my choice.
The service was fine, and the atmosphere was nice and quiet

Stayed at the Premier Inn next door. Had 3 mornings of breakfast & 1 evening meal.
Lovely staff particularly the lady on breakfast service Monday & Tuesday morning. All staff helpful & efficient.
Building outside needs a refresh.

We had a great visit here, atmosphere was great, our server was lovely, and service was prompt! The steak taster platter was really beautiful. Will be back again!
Kid-friendliness: The 3 courses for £6.99 went down very well with my 10 year old, good portion sizes and a very nice selection of main meals

Service was great Lily was superb shame the breakfast was undercooked and can quiet clearly see under staffed also manager walks around doing nothing surely in times of pressure and need she could have helped out.

Nice pudding. But overcooked and burnt steak. Poor quality sides. Hidden charges for sauces. Manager a little rude. Poor seating arrangement and lack of seats. Expensive for the quality of the experience, and that's with a discount.

Took advantage of the 10.99 kids eat free breakfast today at the beefeater,
Having had pleasant experiences in other beefeaters, we thought the cross bush would be no different.
Unfortunately, the place is very dirty, chairs look knackered and fabric is wearing, tables where massively sticky and only 1 menu per table..
Ontop of this no salt and pepper on any tables that I could see.
There is no buffet for hot food, as I would have expected with any other beefeaters I had been in.
I ordered with the waitress which was easy enough, and the Continental was fine,
Very small space for it however so ran out of food consistently.
Waited 40 minutes for pretty rubbish food to be honest.
Hasbrowns and black pudding where soggy,
Mushrooms were warm at best and the eggs were rubbery.
Bacon and sausage were nice at least
Wouldn't recommend the breakfast

At least a dozen food items on the menu were unavailable. They had run out of peas and regular chips. At least 4 or 5 main course options were unavailable and at least 3 puddings were out of stock along with other food items needing to be substituted due to lack of availability. But what we were able to order was adequate and the plant burger was great.
There was one draft ale on tap which was well kept. Doom Bar.
Our table looked good but wasn't completely clean. Perhaps that was just unlucky. Furniture wasn't tired at all and all looked fine in the restaurant area.
Food presentation was OK but underwhelming, but nothing at fault, just basic. One of our party ordered a vegetarian main course but the meat equivalent was delivered accidentally and the person in our party only realised part way thorough eating it. Luckily they weren't vegetarian and didn't mind, but it could have been a big deal for another customer. We felt we should gently mention it to avoid future problems. Despite us playing down the error, the waitress apologised and removed that meal from the bill at the end which was a nice gesture and not necessary for us.
The best thing about out meal was the friendly and welcoming staff on arrival and throughout the meal. They handled the things that were lacking on the menu well. Without the staff, this would be a two star joint I think.
With so much food unavailable things didn't seem to be being managed well. (We wondered if the menu was changing drastically very soon -but if that was the case surely chips and peas are on the new menu?).
The toilets were almost hilariously bad. Mop buckets were under 3 of the 4 urinals. It felt like the place was going to be shut down or sold imminently. We laughed about how bad it was.
If the food had been cheap it would have been OK, but it wasn't and was priced in a way that set expectations higher than reality. It was like a quiet run-down Wetherspoons but with good table service and a quick turn-a-round but with a smaller menu and a quarter of the food choices out of stock.
From reading other reviews the Sunday roasts seem to help the overall scores for the place so perhaps Sunday is the day to go.
As our only family meal out for our entire holiday it was underwhelming and a bit of a disappointment.
Building maintenance and food stock level management both need attention.
Things that don't need improving... The staff's approach, style, professionalism and friendliness despite the challenges faced by a lack of food stock

Food and service was good. But the building is looking very grubby now and in need of a reburb or painting being done at the least. That's the parts you can see soo who knows what it looks like behind the scenes. 4 blocked urinals in the gents loo with buckets underneath to catch the overflow. It has gone downhill over the years and really needs sorting before you lose customers.
