The Crab Tree - Adur

Visited here with family that had come to visit, we always take them here as we always have a good time, food is always very good plenty of choice reasonable prices for both food drinks

We went to the Crabtree for our friend's birthday, what a disappointed meal : we waited 3/4 hour for our food to arrive when it did it looked just like a starter portion and at over £17 a head we all thought it was very poor the meat was very tuff and gristle, I told the waiter who said that lamb is always a bit fatty !!!!! we will not be using the crabtree again.

I am a regular visitor to this warm and friendly pub and have to say every visit gets better and better.The food is amazing especially the roast dinners and the staff are very friendly and accommodating to my every requirement as I'm a fussy little ****.All of the staff which i shall name personally Debbie,Amy,Louise Claire,nial,and last but not least tara the landlady you all make me feel very welcome.May you continue to serve me in the excellent manner that I'm accustomed to you are all a credit to this exceptionally well run establishment.

We are looking to move to Shoreham and have been to this pub when visiting the area. The food has always been wonderful, I had the seafood meze which is delicious. We also enjoy Aspalls cider most pubs only serve Stongbow/Magners on draught which is too chemical in taste for us). There were two blazing fireplaces ideal for a cold February day . The staff were helpful and courteous. I would like to see a separate area for children as I enjoy a chat with friends rather than listening to the 3 young boys who were running around yelling, this is the parents fault rather than the pubs. When we become permanent residents in Shoreham we will definitely make this our local.

A bit of a muddle really, ordered our drinks and asked to run a tab and were asked to leave our debit card behind the bar, is this legal? Don't know why I agreed.Sat down and had to get up to ask for a menu and was grudgingly given one and had to ask for another, no one mentioned the specials boards that were scattered around and we had ordered before we noticed them. My husband had the steak and kidney pie and I had the roast beef, lovely fresh veg but stuffing with roast beef ugh! And the roasties were deep fried, pie was ok nothing special. Plates cleared and then the place mats no chance to order a desert! Will not return.
