Lovely pub in Horsham, not too far from the main commercial district and shops. Sat there with a couple of friends and had a drink under the lovely sun. Even though it was a bank holiday weekend, the place was not packed and the atmosphere was relaxing. I liked it. More...

Joe Lonsdale
A lovely pub with friendly staff, good beers and decent food. Occasional live music and events in the lovely beer garden. Highly recommended.
Demetrius Stacey
The reason for 4 stars is because the service was a little slow and it wasn't full and I wasn't sure whether one of the waitresses was being slightly rude or it might have been her sense of humour! Food was lovely
Melanie Hurley
Nice pub in town. Very lively on nights when they have live music which is great. Lovely seating area outside to enjoy warmer weather.
Ian Banks
Really friendly service
Nicola Collyer
Can't rate this pub highly enough. Took my fussy in-laws for a birthday dinner and they demolished everything. Service is second to none and food is amazing! ! Hope to be back very very soon!!! The landlord came and had a chat and welcomed us and I personally haven't seen that on any other local pubs. Personally I would rate 20/10!!!! More...

Nomis Mahlig
Food was excellent, service was fine. Only negative for us was a very sticky table.
Sue Jarrett
The only reason I have not given the food at The Olive Branch is because the food took nearly an hour to come, however I do believe this was a one off, the staff were highly apologetic and when the food did come it was really high quality, amazing taste, great ingredients and what i really liked was that you can watch the Chef cooking. It was plain to see he took pride in his art. More...

Daniel Carlton
Excellent place to visit, cosy winter fire. Food was actually brilliant, our party of friends were very happy. Thank you to the staff on shift.
Stuart Cullen
Just take a look at this tender, beautifully presented pork belly, cooked to perfection. This pub is consistently delivering very high quality meals. There is a beautiful open fire with what must be the largest hearth in the Horsham area. The staff are very pleasant but sometimes a little distant:- they have made mistakes with the orders the last 2 times I've visited but they were quickly rectified and it didn't affect the overall experience negatively. This review only covers the day time dining experience I can't comment on the night life... I can definetly recommend this place for dinner and would place it amongst the top 5 places to eat in Horsham at the time of writing. More...
Jason Adsett
Met friends for after work drinks, place was busy, but service was a bit slow a took a while to get noticed. nice atmosphere and averagely priced. will have to try again.
Seb Maynard
Lovely, cosy pub. Roaring fire throughout the winter and really great, great food. The burger is especially yummy.Massive selection of Badgers ales on tap, and even more bottled. Loads of seating inside, and a good outdoor area too with sun umbrellas and heater thingsQuite pricey, both for food and drinks, but worth it; probably one of the nicest pubs in the area More...

Mark Price
We turned up last Sunday on the off chance we would get a table and even thought they seemed very busy they fitted us in. There was a wait for the food but that's to be expected with somewhere that was as busy Plus they don't use a microwave to cook everything . I have to say it was the best roast dinner I've ever tasted and I can be picky. I really can't wait to go back for another one. More...
Matt Steel
A great pub, a good range of drinks and a pleasant atmosphere

Great food, wait for food can be a while when they are busy
Andy Jones
I have always enjoyed The Olive Branch during winter, they usually have a fire going and the whole place reminds you of an old style English Pub, but with out the dirty bar stools and wet dog smell. A good place to sit and chat up with friends without it being too loud. Staff have always been polite and friendly. More...
Kaia Lam
Great big Sunday lunch portions, lovely pub and takes reservations.
David Gray
Ate from the set menu. Good portions for the price and the service was excellent.
