Harden's survey result
Summary
With its “delightful setting looking out across the South Downs” – a view from the window said to have inspired William Blake’s anthem Jerusalem in 1803 – this eighteenth-century coaching inn is quite a draw, especially in summer when you can dine in the garden. The cooking is generally “creditable” (although both highs and lows were reported this year). The business has been owned since 2007 by Giles Thompson, formerly executive head chef at The Ritz.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The Earl of March Restaurant Diner Reviews
"This could be lovely gastropub, but it was very far from that the day we went. It started fine with excellent French Onion Soup and backed camembert, though those came after a long wait. The wait for the main Sunday roast was longer and those came lukewarm or cold after a very long wait. One was so cold that it was sent back; the others were at best adequate. An even longer wait while we were studiously ignored by the few staff in the restaurant followed, so we complained, and then asked to see the owner rather than the front of house staff who seem unable to do anything. The owner sent a message that he was too busy to see us. Overall it was a dire experience"
