Cote Brasserie - Horsham in Horsham

Côte seldom disappoints and this time was no exception. Both food and service were excellent. I booked with a free glass x 2 of Cremant but didn’t have my phone with me with the voucher but our waiter gave me the Cremant on hearsay only. The rest of the dinner and our evening was most enjoyable thanks to Cote Horsham.

Second visit to this branch of cote, the first time was with a guest and we sent the food back as it arrived cold, in saying that the replacement was very good and without fault. Today I thought I would revisit and chose the breakfast complete, any breakfast, juice and coffee £14 .95 Very polite member of staff seated me. My flat white arrived quickly and was very well made, the orange juice also very good. The breakfast however was a different story the food arrived quickly however the scrambled eggs had split with the milk and were awful and the plate was full of water. I returned the food and asked for another flat white. The flat white arrived made by the same person but this time was more of a latte with all milk and the weakest coffee I have tasted. The re-heated breakfast arrived (it had my original bite out of the very small has browns still on the plate) back with fresh scrambled eggs that were little better than the first. This is probably the first time I have just left all of the food in my plate and asked for the bill. Rightly so I was not asked to pay for the food. I think twice is enough, I will not be visiting Ćote in Horsham again. The two stars are for the service, definitely not the food.

Overall standard / satisfaction levels (party x 5) ! / 5!! From the beginning : Drinks 2 out of 5 - wrong (that set the scene) Food - all served om cold / cool plates. Two steaks returned, incorrectly cooked / cold. Had then to ask for the frites & cauliflower to be taken back also - otherwise were we expected to eat those whilst waiting for replacemenr (& hot) steaks? All food replaced at different times. Staff pleasant not not listening to the orders / complaints - most definitely not in control. The "Manager" in a similar vein. After all this incorrect bill presented. In summary - a disaster! Has to be said, though, when the right food, at the right temperature, was presented, it was of a good quality. Overall experience / assessment : 1/5. Will not be in any hurry to return by personal choice.

I am sorry to have to inform you of poor service at Cote for eleven people for lunch where the food was OK but not worth the wait of an hour for it to be served, despite Cote being told that our lunch was time-limited. Part of the excuse was that there were some starter sized orders and the rest were main but the waiter was informed at the beginning that all the food needed to be served at the same time. Otherwise the restaurant ambience was good.

Booked a table for two for a Saturday lunchtime. No waiting at the door, prompt friendly welcome. A good menu for all tastes without offering too many choices which can be a little overwhelming, we were very satisfied with our choices - excellent warm tomato salad and crab salad starters. Even better mains - pork belly with dauphinoise potatoes and the ratatouille, both perfectly cooked, portioned and presented - very satisfying. The dessert menu looked equally appealing but for us, in our 70s two courses is enough for a lunchtime meal, maybe next time. Good reasonably priced drinks menu, again just enough choices for all tastes. The place was only half full but good general ambience and everyone seemed to be enjoying their lunchtime experience but the harsh acoustics in the room leads to a rather uncomfortable cacophony of voices making normal conversation rather difficult - I mentioned this to the waiter and had to repeat myself three times before he worked out what I was saying ! Minor nitpicks, hence only 4 stars - waiter service was attentive when we arrived but not so later on - if we’d been asked if “everything was ok with our meal“ we would have ordered more wine. The drinks menus in particular were dog eared and sticky and the tables were also sticky, this has been mentioned in other reviews, maybe the varnish is deteriorating but it needs attention asap. All in all, very happy with our visit to Horsham Cotes and we will return.

Another amazing visit. We celebrated our friend’s birthday. We went for Sunday sharing meat board and it was incredible. We loved every single item. The dessert was even better. Such a nice atmosphere with very friendly staff.

We had a super evening with friends, celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Great food and excellent service - thanks to all the team for making it special.

The team was very lovely, food was even better. Callum, Madeline and Aidan were very attentive. We had the cote de bouef and we really recommend!!

Lovely staff and special appreciation to the chefs for the exceptional food. Would definitely recommend to friends and return in the future.Thank you very much!

Perfect atmosphere for some food and a catch up with friends. Ordered french toast and a tea which came quickly and hot and was delicious. Would recommend and definitely come again.

It was ok. I had the Breton chicken which was meant to come with a herb salad but didn’t! I queried it and they brought a small plate with a handful of coriander and 3 onion slices!! Husband had tuna nicoise which was good. Staff attentive. Nice interior.

Good food and service. Nice location and atmosphere. My wife and I were made very welcome. They had a good choice of food and drink.

Went for lunch with family and had 3 options off the smaller 2 for £ / 3 for £ menu. Food was good despite smaller portions (as expected from “quick” menu) however it took 2.5 hours for starters and mains to come out. Either we timed it badly despite having a booking or the service in general is just not quick enough. Staff were apologetic and management took off a dessert from the bill after the kitchen got it wrong without us asking for them to do so which was greatly appreciated however it’s not something that should happen in the first place. Would be willing to try again, perhaps for dinner instead to see if service is any different at different times

Relaxed atmosphere for a cosy dinner. Excellent service by Ibrahim, who was friendly and attentive, and even gave us a complimentary glass of bubbly when he found out that it was my birthday. We will definitely be back.

Ibrahim was a very friendly welcoming and humorous server. Nice ambience. Very good variety of food. Whitebait, tomato-pepper soup and sea bass were highlights.

A family meal. 10 of us were looked after with charm, humour and super efficiency by our waiter Ibrahim. Food excellent as usual and all in all confirmed my opinion that it is probably the best place to eat in Horsham. All it needs to make it perfect is maybe some soft furnishings to absorb the ambient noise.

My husband and daughter and I had a wonderful meal at Cote Horsham. if anyone has not tried the lamb dish, I highly recommend it. It was incredibly busy. However, the meals still arrived promptly, and we were always attended to and not ignored. A special thank you to Karin who made it very special. What a lovely waitress and a credit to your restaurant. Again, thank you for making it very special.

we have been to cote since it opened in Horsham on a regular basis. Sadly on our last visit I struggled to get my wife's wheelchair through the door while the staff chatted not a good start. When it came to order the waitress didn't ask about allergies or have the pad they normally carry, my wife clearly pointed out her allergy to her but when it arrived it came with items she specifically told them she could not have. My wife told the waitress and her answer was she put it through and wasn't her fault. Due to this casual attitude to allergies where we felt guilty for sending it back we shall not be going to cote in the future.

Cote remains a regular haunt for us. In most cases one can rely on high quality food and drinks with a french theme. I do not like the American style streaky bacon though. It can be extremely noisy when crowded which does spoil the experience. A bit more space and sound barriers would help. Sometimes hard to attract attention when ready to pay.

The booking system is really user friendly and booked a table without any issue. Arrived at the restaurant we had to wait few minutes before we were welcomed by a member of the staff who showed our table. The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere with soft lights and nice vibe. The waiter attending our table was friendly and engaged in conversation. Was professional and always present when needed. We.ordered a couple of nibbles and then we ordered a fillet stake and a cote de beuf. The fugasse was really tasty, soft and fluffy inside and crunchy and aromatic outside. From this moment on everything went downhill. We had to wait over one hour for the stakes to come out, just to be served stone cold dry meat. A £60 steak...below average, cold and dry. The fillet was slightly better, but it was cold as well. Extremely disappointing and off putting experience from the food perspective. When our waiter asked if everything was good I made him aware of our unhappiness. He promptly informed his line manager and the kitchen. The manager took ownership of the issue and dealt with it swiftly informing they would have not charged for the meat. This was a nice way of making things right, however, would have preferred to be served a fantastic stake and pay for it rather than getting a rubbish steak for free. This is the reason of the three stars. Very poor food but great customer.service to make it right. Was I happy? No. Would I go.back,.probably I will give them a second chance because I have the confidence that they take onboard the feedback and they will try to make things right when they make mistakes.

Sunday morning breakfast fail. Undercooked fried potatoes still hard and not even nearly cooked. Cold mushrooms, white wobbly fat on bacon and Tepid undercooked tomatoes. Polite not for me and the manager was very haughty and dismissive. Avoid as everything was cold and not even fully cooked. The manager was rude, absolutely up himself. He could see how bad the food was and just sneered and walked off!!!

I booked this restaurant at the last minute. I wanted to have quality time with my daughter. It was 1 pm lunchtime today and extremely busy. But that did not stop the staff. The food still came out very promptly. The waitress was very attentive and the meal was sensational. Well done Cote - a truly lovely experience. Thank you . We are back for Mother's Day. The mussels and frites were amazing

Seem to be getting a little shy with the helping sizes now. 4 of us who have been here many times all agreed that the portion sizes are now similar to those of the starters. Shame because the service and meal itself are fine.

Really lovely food, we were served by Ibrahim who was very polite and friendly. The food came out quick and the wine was great

Booked a family lunch for Boxing Day in November, was given a copy of the Boxing Day Menu, very festive, looking forward, phoned to confirm on Christmas Eve and to check any changes to the menu, we were 9 people, two vegetarians and one fussy teenager, so I needed to be aware of any alterations, we arrived ten minutes early for our table, nothing ready, sat at a table for 10, set with breakfast menus, were asked if we wanted breakfast or lunch, no special festive menu, no frills at all. very disappointed, overall just passable, on a day like this your staff should be a tad more attentive,

We had reserved a table for 4 people at 8pm on New Year's Eve. We were very much looking forward to the menu. The evening before we were called again to confirm the reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told that the table was not yet free. We were told to wait about 30 minutes and would be notified by text message. Over 1 hour later we were still not notified. There was no apology at the restaurant. The reserved table was not available for the evening. The service was unfriendly and completely overwhelmed. Unworthy of a New Year's Eve. No recommendation!

What an absolute disgrace. Booked on New Year’s Eve for the special New Year’s Eve menu. We reserved for 8:30, got there to be told our table would be late…. We were told 9pm. Returned at 9pm to be told it would be ‘10 minutes’, 30 minutes later it still wasn’t ready and a party of the same size (4) booked for 7:30 still hadn’t been seated. Thanks for ruining New Year’s Eve.

I went to cote for breakfast with my wife and was not impressed with a deep fried sausage on my plate nor with the pickled red onion on the fried potatoes

great night out,Lovely Restraunt and food, Ibrahim was an amazing waiter and very helpful, will visit again

Lovely date night with my girlfriend.the waitor Ibrahim was absaloutly exceptional and was very easy to talk to and welcoming.

Ibrahim was such an amazing waiter who really took an interest in us, recognised us from previous visits and took the time to talk to us. His knowledge and service was impeccable and he was genuinely happy to help us. I cannot fault his work ethic and warmth of personality.

We had a lovely meal, Ibrahim our waiter was really professional and friendly. We will be coming again!

Friday night meal with our eldest. Cote Horsham consistently provides good food choices and excellent service. Tonight was no exception with lovely fish served by the very hospitable Ibrahim. Two courses left us nearly full so we shared a dessert.

If you are fortunate enough to go to Cote in Horsham you may also be fortunate enough to be looked after by Ibrahim. If so you will have really great time. Great food, great environment and really nice staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our Wedding Anniversary...

Excellent service and food. Ibrahim was a nice waiter. He set up the table as requested. I’ll come back another time.

We were disappointed with some of our food especially as it is normally a good place to eat. The fish stew was flavourless and only one prawn! We have had this dish several times when eating at the London Bridge branch and it has always...

Had a lovely meal at Cote Horsham this evening! Great food and excellent service from our waiter Ibrahim

Last year for my Girlfriend's birthday, we went slightly off piste and tried somewhere new. It wasn't bad, but not as fab a meal as the occasion warranted. This year, we chose Côte because we know the food is going to be superb. And it...

Me and my girlfriend went for dinner for her birthday and received high end service from Ibrahim, very fast and attentive, highly recommend

The cuisine was exceptional, and the service was flawless, especially thanks to our waiter, Ibby . His attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond made our experience memorable. We're going back for sure!

We popped in with no booking this evening and they were fab, found us a great table. Ibrahim was really welcoming, great fun and really looked after us. Had an amazing meal, fantastic wine, and we really enjoyed chatting to Ibrahim, he made our evening!

Great atmosphere, cocktails and food but definitely a highlight to mention is Ibrahim. Ibrahim was amazing, very tentative, you are able to see his genuine love for what he does and the attention he gives to your requirements, completely makes the whole experience come together!...

Came to Cote for my birthday on passing. Never disappoints. Great service from the lovely Whinny. Attentive and cheerfully. Thanks Cote. We will be back. Great quality produce cooked to perfection.

Excellent service with a smile by the lovely winnie, food arrived promptly and our two little ones were welcomed.

Amazing service from Ibrahim! So friendly and attentive. Preempted all our needs and provided great conversation too. Food was also delicious.

We had the most wonderful dinner at Côte on Friday 17th. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Particularly from our waiter Ibrahim, he was attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be going back to celebrate more special occasions.

Always have great service at Cote, friendly and attentive and the last few visits have had the pleasure conversation and recommendations on wine and dishes from Ibrahim, convivial, patient and friendly. Chain restaurants are not typically my thing but have always found Cote to be...

Excellent service as usual. Ibby the waiter even remembered us and my preference for Coupe Noire which although not on the menu was gratefully provided.

Absolutely delighted with the Pork Belly Cassoulet at this venue. The slow-cooked bean stew was rich in flavors, complemented perfectly by the smoky Toulouse sausage and mushrooms. The pork belly was a standout, with its melt-in-your-mouth texture. The garlic butter and rosemary croutons added a...

The eating experience was excellent and the food delicious. I was also delighted to see several vegan options on the menu. More importantly, the service provided by Winnie was out of this world and enhanced our experience no end. I'd like her to be praised...

We had a lovely breakfast at cote! Winy was our waitress and she did an excellent job at making sure we were catered to. The breakfast was delicious, as were our lattes. Thank you!

Had a fabulous dinner at cote. The food was deliciousThe staff were fantastic, very welcoming and made the occasion extra special! Thank you very much Aiden, Ellie & team for you great hospitality. Will definitely be visiting again.

The food was OK, Tasty but nothing special. My main complaint was the service, all staff seemed dispondant, complacent, Sat down, no one acknowledged us for 15 minutes. Server did come over eventually but lacked any level of friendliness and in took our order. No...

Fish pie is poor value, suggest you choose something else if you are hungry. £16 for a small portion with no veg included was disappointing. Found 2 prawns among the mashed potato and sauce but that was about it. The saving grace of the meal...

Just had a lovely evening at this Cote Brasserie. Food was excellent - Aiden the manager was very helpful and attentive and made sure our evening was a really lovely one.

Usual high quality at Cote. Friendly greeting, knowledgeable staff and the food was delicious! Thank you for looking after us. Visited on Sunday 8th.

Cote in Horsham never disappoint me. Always great delicious food, super cool service & cosy atmosphere. Went on a Sunday afternoon. All our food was great quality and perfectly cooked (in particular the confit duck a’lorange). Very attentive and friendly service.

Six of us went for a meal after a matinee show nearby. Having been to Chichester and Lewes Cote restaurants - was hoping to get the same positive experience at Horsham. Sadly not. The food was overpriced and distinctly average - the fish pie that...

Had a 7pm table. Still waiting for our main at 8.45 pm. Feeling hungry. Can't provide any photos as yet

Winnie our waitress was excellent and made up for the poor quality ingredients that this cote seem to use. Everything was over seasoned, the hash brown was the weirdest one ever served, the sausage was also very strange and the bacon barely resembled bacon.It really...

Absolutely superb meal from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and attentive, the food was out of this world and the whole experience was wonderful. We will 100% be back; thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who made our evening one that we...

Very good experience! Nice and friendly people. Food was delicious especially calamari, must to try! I will be back soon for sure 😊

We tried Cote last night. The tables were very small, I remember wondering how 4 dinner plates would fit along with side dishes and glassware. The answer was very small dinner plates, and small portions as a result. I had the belly pork which was...

Disappointing food, overcrowded and as a result incredibly noisy. The tables were very small and the dinner plates only slightly bigger than side plates. Small portions of food and the steak was overpowered by a smokey taste. Overall not a great experience. On the plus...

Had lunchtime meal today that was ok though portions a bit small for the price and food a bit on the lukewarm side. No waiter asked how our meal was. We also felt the food may be over salted and tonight my wife and both...

This has to be the worst Cote I’ve been to. Warm welcome on arrival. Male servers uninterested, no personality. Onion soup was half a bowl of ok soup with swirled in cheese and soggy croutons. Main dishes were Luke warm to cold. Carrots arrived after...

I have come home from our long awaited family lunch feeling very disappointed. We had been advised on arrival that there was a half hour delay on food but the reality was a lot, lot longer. First our soups came out cold and we had...

The food was served promptly by friendly staff. Atmosphere in the restaurant very pleasant. A good evening.

Another lovely meal in Cote Horsham, it was the start of the new autumn menu so lots of new dishes to sample plus some old favourites! The sea bream was very good. The service was excellent and the staff here are all so friendly, we...

We visited in the evening on 11/10/22 with our friends who live in Horsham. We always come here for a meal when we visit from Somerset. We had a lovely 3-course meal and wine. I’m writing this review as my friend has some food allergies...

I was left waiting at the table for ages to be served. I said ‘excuse me’ to a waiter and he muttered something and moved on. I eventually gave up and left

Nice Menu with decent variety so we were looking forward to lunch. However, the Chef needs to ensure that all food comes out at a decent temperature. I have a feeling that the preparation of our lunches (three of us) was disco-ordinated, the result of...

Food was excellent and the service and staff were very good. Bit pricey but where isn't these days. We didn't bookbut got a table no problem mid week although quite busy. Downside is card only, why ? We will go back.

Food is ok, staff friendly, acoustics not great it’s quite loud. However they wouldn’t accept my cash so will not be visiting again.

always reluctant to write a review like this, but feel this needs to be shared. Visited on Tuesday 23rd in the evening, overall we were happy with the meals, don't think it was quite the £115 for two people kind of quality, but still, it...

My wife and I have had some very nice meals in the past at Cote. Tonight was very different. Really disappointed. I had the chicken Breton as a main sadly the leg portion was undercooked and put me off the rest of the meal. I...
