About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
The Unicorn Inn is a free house pub and restaurant, brimming with rural charm and located in the beautiful unspoilt village of Heyshott near Midhurst, West Sussex.

Since its original licence was granted in 1839, many publicans have left their individual touch on the Unicorn.

A long and fruitful history has helped the Unicorn transpire into the perfect venue where you can enjoy a pint in the bar with the locals, tuck into a good hearty meal from the excellent restaurant menu or sip a leisurely drink with the family in a beer garden that offers some of the finest views of the surrounding landscape.

Today, the Unicorn is run by landlady Jenni Halpin.

    My wife and I were celebrating a special occasion and we found the food delicious (pheasant and souffle were our main courses). It was a Saturday evening and pretty quiet, which we liked. The service was friendly and attentive. Altogether we thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go back.

    Very good food and service, but the open fire had made the bar area badly smokey. Either the chimney needs a sweep, or the owners need to take advice from locals on how to lay a fire in a double layer. Get a good base alight, then put big logs on top to get smoke drawn up the chimney. RJP

    3 of us enjoyed a nice Sunday lunch tho' the service was a little slow after we'd eaten the main course. The lady did apologise for this. The food was nice but accompanying vegetables were such a small amount for three people. Nice pub tho' in a nice setting, has a lovely garden.

    We were really looking forward to bubble and squeak but there was none.we were told after we had ordered. The beer my husband ordered was also not on. These things would not put me off trying again. Better luck next time.
