The Steam Packet

We stayed for a couple of days and were made to feel very welcome by friendly hosts. The accomodation is clean and comfortable. It's also a great pub with a nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a Sunday roast and some well kept local ale. There was live music later in the afternoon. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely family run pub. It was my first time here and we had a delightful roast lamb dinner. The atmosphere was lovely. The landlord and his wife were so welcoming. Will definitely return.

Very welcoming pub with great food and great beer. We had a Sunday Roast, beef was wonderful, veggies perfect and a lovely Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Perfect Sunday lunch!

Had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Steam Packet Inn, with perfect hosts Mark and Arleta.
Our room, breakfasts and the Sunday roast with live music was superb.
Would highly recommend this beautiful traditional Inn

Used to come Littlehampton years ago with my girlfriend.
Only had occasional drink in here as handy for train stn.
My friend only lives over bridge in caravan park.
Introduced me to Mark & Arleta, I get a great welcome each time I visit.
Today I had a lovely roast dinner 10/10.
Thank you to a wonderful couple.
See you next time I'm down👍

I've lived here for 3 years and I can't believe I've not visited this lovely pub before now.
What a wonderful welcome, good beer, good chat, great atmosphere. I will be returning, regularly.

The owners always make everyone feel so welcome. A homely, personal pub with a country feel. A small, home cooked menu, bought to the table by Mark, the chef and landlord. Arleta, his wife, serves drinks with a huge smile and time for a chat. You leave this pub with a full tummy and a warm heart..

I always stop by this place when I’m in the area. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, they always have great ales on tap (highly recommend the Bongo IPA!) Do yourself a favour and get one of the roast dinner while you’re here, you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely atmosphere all weekend and amazing Sunday roast with live music!
Good selection of ales and beers. Staff is very friendly. Best pub in Littlehampton 🙂

Had Sunday lunch here, roast lamb. Couple of drinks. Mark was very helpful,. He and wife very welcoming.

We love visiting the steam packet when in Littlehampton. Always friendly, and the roasts are amazing. Pooches welcome too!

Stayed 2 nights with breakfasts. Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts. Room was lovely with a very comfortable bed, a well equipped kitchen and a little table and chairs with a view over the river. Breakfast was cooked fresh and served in the pub. A home cooked full English and very tasty.

My Brothers surprise 80th birthday bash last night (24th Feb 2024). Great venue, great atmosphere, great food and service. Thanks so much. Julie. Eastbourne

May 2024 - Second stay at the Steam Packet! We love that is is out of the way with great views. Owners are kind and accommodating! Our room had a reasonably sized bathroom and a small, but well stocked kitchen which would be great for a longer stay. Bed was very comfortable. Room also has a small television and reliable internet. The rail station is only a few streets away, and the walk to the beaches are about .75 miles from either side. You can either take the boardwalk direct or meander though town [we love the charity shops and pubs] or cross the bridge for a more natural scene. There are a only a few places to eat in the off-season, so be prepared to hunt for the jems! Town is small but cozy and entertaining, much like the Steam Packet!

Amazing food (lamb roast), excellent service (even fed our dog!)! Very warm and cosy - beautiful log burner!

Probably one of the best devices I’ve ever got in the uk in many, many years! The pub is great for sure, but don’t go for that. Hi for the excellent service! They’re super accommodating!

Highly recommended! Really great atmosphere. A warm welcome from the staff and the wood burner! Beautiful home cooked food; tasty and lovingly prepared. There was a specials board as well as the main menu. We had the Celeriac Soup and Moroccan Tuna. Both dishes were delicious. Best pub in town!

Enjoyed a deliciously cooked Sunday lunch at the Steam packet. Staff very attentive and friendly. Live music venue to . Good selection of beers and drinks . A little gem of a old school public house that your mum would enjoy. Located near the Arun bridge ,with walks over the bridge and to the Dunes at west beach.

We stayed for 2 nights, room was good, compact but had a full kitchen in it. We had a lovely ring meal. ASE did bed& breakfast we had breakfast both days, a nicely cooked full English breakfast. Owners and the bar staff we met were all very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again!

What great pub! Tasty pub grub, dog friendly with good beers and tables on the terrace overlooking the river. Cheerful staff and one of the best home made cake puddings I've had in years! Definitely worth a visit!
