The Merry Monk in Adur

Brilliant, the service was polite, efficient and friendly. The food tasty and generous. It was everything you could possibly want from a carvery highly recommended.

I was so enjoying, as ever a delicious carvery when I took ill.... my goodness the staff were absolutely amazing supporting my daughter. I can't recommend this establishment enough for the kindness, respect and concern shown... thank you all so very much ❤️

Booked a table for the Friday evening, on arrival was told that there was no menu and only carvery. Having had bariatric surgery I check menus before hand to see what I can eat as can only eat a small amount. I asked if I could have a small carvery and was told they only do one size and then asked about a child’s menu and told they only do this up to a certain age. We were seated and ordered drinks whilst being told they would tell us when we could get our carvery, once drinks were on table we had to go and get carvery, felt like we couldn’t relax and enjoy our drink for a while first. Once we had food we started to eat, my partner cut into the cauliflower cheese and it flew off the plate and onto his lap where it was so hard! The carrots had been under the heat too long as had most of the other veg. The staff didn’t have any interest except when it came to us paying but at no time did they ask if the food was ok. The actual place is lovely but staff and food leave a lot to be desired. If people have booked a table and you can’t do the menu then perhaps call them and let them know - at 7:30 on a Friday evening, we had no choice but to stay, a call earlier in the day and we would have booked elsewhere. Not everyone wants a carvery on a Friday evening!

My first roast dinner at a restaurant and honestly incredible! Loved my nut roast - best I have ever had! I need the recipe! Desserts looked incredible, I was too stuffed to try any but they looked amazing. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Considering the portion size (which you have control over!) It is so worth the money! Just wish there was brocolli!

Carvery especially the pork was dry... also NO PLAY AREA ( boarded off) i also found it too be quite expensive Aswell... staff were very persistent with ordering drinks before our butt's had even touched down on the seat... the layout of the pub/restaurant was the best part with ample space...

Atmosphere was calm and relaxed, carvery looked very appetising ( and it was really good as well) so did the food ordered from the menu. Deserts looked really delicious but very disappointed on the one tried( raspberry white chocolate brownie) as it was rock solid both the brownie itself as the chocolate on top ( which was very thick).But overall, nice place with good food.

Lovely atmosphere though the service could be a little friendlier. We had a carvery which was really nice apart from the roast potatoes. Overall, a nice place to eat and reasonably priced.

Awesome place for a Carvery on a Sunday. Diam mud cake was amazing. The main meal was filling and tasty. One question. Pigs in blankets, could they become part of the offering in the future?

Ordered a cheese and ham baguette but took it home to eat. Baguette was put into the fridge the minute i got home and when i went to eat it i noticed the ham was off!! Called the restaurant and they said it was oxidisation (which it clearly is not when i didnt leave it out for more than 45 minutes whilst i was at the restaurant). All i was told by the supervisor on the phone was 'yeah im sorry about that'...... and after hearing that for what felt like the 10th time was clearly her trying to be patronising! Not sure on their hygiene rating but i am pretty sure it wont be 5* in the future! Definitely recommend if you fancy a case of food poisoning otherwise avoid at all costs!

We had a great time at the Monk, the food was very good and the staff were friendly. I had some friends down and they were all praise for the Monk. So get on down and enjoy this fantastic carvery. Big thanks to the team see you soon.
