We went here for my sons birthday dinner. The menu choices are fairly good and the food is good. Service can be slow at busy times.

Ordered the pulled ham and pineapple pizza. It arrived with fatty lardons on it. No one mentioned the lack of pulled ham. 'Oog I'll take the lardon pizza please' - said no one ever.

Since I was staying at house in West Sussex, looking after some dogs, I invited a couple of young students to join me for a sunday lunch, the young man being the son of friends and his girlfriend. They have a small flat in Chichester and I knew they would enjoy a good meal out.

I had originally planned the lunch to be at a country pub, with a good reputation for home-made cooking, but they closed for lunch at 2.30pm and I had a few things to do during the day, including watching some 6 Nations Rugby on TV, so had to find somewhere that served later in the day.

My research came up with nothing that I really fancied, so I asked them to choose somewhere. They came up with the Bosham, to which I somewhat reluctantly agreed, having been put off this chain restaurant pub by a past experience some years back. An opportunity to give it another chance!

The Bosham is in a quite impressive set of brick and flint-faced buildings in pleasant grounds, off the old A27 between Emsworth and Chichester.

The interior is very welcoming and slightly rustic, with tables set far apart. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress and her service remained helpful and ideal throughout, possibly assisted by the fact that the restaurant was not all that busy at about 6.30pm on a Sunday evening.

They have an all-day Sunday menu, which is unusual and in this case welcome, having missed out on lunchtime earlier!

We all had starters and a main course, accompanied by a pint of cider for me, a glass of wine for Jeremy and a soft drink for the driver Emily!

I chose 'Salt and Pepper Calamari', which was a few rings of deep-fried slightly-sauced squid accompanied by a mound of unappetising greenery, the latter being left uneaten. Emily enjoyed her pates and Jeremy his odd-looking prawn and lobster cocktail.

I then chose from the Sunday roast section, selecting lamb shank, one of my favourites, accompanied by roast potatoes and a reasonable selection of roast vegetables, with (not enough) gravy and a Yorkshire. Mint sauce was promptly provided on request. Standard fare and not bad. Emily had a perfectly cooked sirloin steak and Jeremy a chicken pie.

£70 in all. Not a gourmet experience, but I gave it 3 out of 5, which they thought a little stingy.

Not rushing back, but would recommend for families.
