The Horse Guards is without doubt one of the best pubs in the Petworth area. It is just outside the town, along the A272 exactly the other side of Petworth Park.
The food is excellent, but unlike a lot of pubs with good food it is still basically a pub with a bar you can stand at and have a drink.

I came across this short clip of some horses and carts I saw one Sunday afternoon in June in Petworth Park.
I don't know what the event was or anything about it. Please let me know if you do!
Petworth has a wealth of interesting and unusual shops, and the High Street is one of the best places to find them. I suppose at a push you would have to describe the Past and Present shop as an antique shop, but it has more of the atmosphere of a scene from a novel by Dickens.
Tiffins is a tea shop down the High Street in Petworth. It has recently been taken over by a new person, who I think you can see looking out the front door in the picture. I haven't been in since the changeover but I have noticed that there are more customers in there when I go by so I imagine that the change has been for the better. It was quite okay before anyway. It is quite a small place so it doesn't take many people to fill it up.
(I have just walked by on a wet Saturday afternoon and it was full to the brim with happy looking customers. I will try and get in there to give it a proper review soon.)
Tiffins has a much fuller menu and more tables, but the Coco Café Sugar Lounge is another place you can get a cup of tea in Petworth.
