Good Evening in Mid Sussex

What a GREAT find introduced to us by friends. The food was outstanding, reasonably priced, friendly attentive staff and would definately rate it above all other Thai restaurants in an area of Haywards Heath and beyond. We will be back very very soon.

Lovely little Thai restaurant in the village of Cuckfield. We visited with friend had a lovely meal in a lovely environment, service was excellent as was the food. Good value for money as well.

We went this evening and had the most delicious meal . We were served by jasmine who is the most delightful girl , it was truly a delightful evening because of Jasmine and her impeccable service and the fantastic food . Thank you so much ‘.good evening’ Thai . We shall be back soon . Kim and Andrew

Absolute hidden gem! Amazing food, very fresh and healthy, good atmosphere, clean and friendly staff. Unbelievably affordable. Thank you so much! We’ll be back.

Superb little restaurant with fantastic cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious freshly cooked to order food. Highly recommend.

Splendid hot and sour soup and green papaya salad, with plenty of zing, followed by a perfect Thai green and massaman curries. Excellent cocktails and lovely service. What more could you want?

Not great at all. Pad Thai was okish but paenaeng curry was awful , so sweet like eating rice pudding. I had a lot of Thai food in the past from various places but this must be the worst. Had to add chilli flakes to make it taste of something. I wouldn’t order from here .

Party of 3, starters we had Chicken Satay, Ribs and prawns expensive for what it was. Steamed fish and Beef Massaman curry - mains better than the starters but nothing not amazing. Maybe it was just an off day as we have eaten here before

This restaurant is just down the road from our home in Balcombe. It’s situated in the White Harte Pub. We booked a table for 6.30 as they were busy with a large party later on. We ordered a lovely bottle of Ditchling white wine. For starters we both chose tempura prawns. Unfortunately the prawns were covered in thick batter. The prawns were tasty though, if a tad overcooked. Main courses were nice - duck with sweet and sour sauce for me and chicken with red curry sauce for my husband. We shared some greens with chilli and had one egg fried and one jasmine rice. For pudding we both had the delicious coconut ice cream. We would definitely return as it’s a very cosy atmosphere and staff are friendly. Top marks for serving local wines. Next time I’ll order prawn stir fry as I saw someone with that and it looked great.

Lovely local Thai restaurant in the middle of Cuckfield. Friendly service and great fresh food. A nice find when staying at Ockendean Manor. Recommended!

Just back from an early evening meal at the restaurant. They were full booked but managed to squeeze us in and so pleased they did!! Such a great experience - food was amazing, staff was, as always, so accommodating and welcoming and we just loved the ambianc, with the added bonus of a great log fire, super night! Can't wait to return!

Great food and exceptional service. Our waitress was brilliant and very efficient. We had a lovely evening. Well done.

We popped in for a taste of Thailand and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I would recommend the chilli basil beef with coconut rice sssooo good. Thank you for a lovely meal guys

My husband and I went to the restaurant one Thursday evening for dinner. There was a warm welcome and a great set up now they have reopened for dine in meals. The food was delicious- we had a mixed starter and a couple of main courses. The duck was very tasty! Overall an excellent dinner experience and we will be back!

For a special celebration during lockdown we had a set meal takeaway for 2 people. It was a flavoursome, spicy but not over spicy, just the right amount and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would have it again.

Amazing freshly cooked Thai food! Prices are reasonable and take away service prompt. I particularly liked that they are serving from the rear door (so you are in open air) during the pandemic - and phasing pick up - so you don’t spend time close to other people. Absolutely 5 star in all ways!!

Paul and his team offer the most wonderful thai cuisine in a cosy restaurant. The choices on offer are great and the food is always outstanding. Thank you!

We visited on a cold January evening and were greeted by a cosy atmosphere and a real log fire. We ate from the set menu which was beautifully cooked and tasty. It was reasonably priced and service was just the right pace. We saw people calling in for their takeaway food which appeared very efficient. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy freshly cooked Thai food.

Tasty food and good service. Situated in lovely old pub and very cosy. Very reasonably priced and good selection of food

My husband and I visited to celebrate his birthday. It was our first visit, so we were unsure what to expect. We chose one of the set menus, to give us some variety. The food came out fairly quickly and really was delicious. The only reason I haven't given the Good Evening a full rating is because the portions could have been a little larger and I was surprised that we were not asked if we would like to see a desert menu. It almost felt as though they were waiting for us to leave, despite it not being particularly late. The lady serving also didn't smile a lot, which gave a slightly uneasy feeling. I would return again though, if I happened to be in the area, ad the food was very nice

We ordered 7 meals to take away on Saturday night. I have gluten problems and therefore asked for mine to be prepared gluten free. The chef was very helpful and offered to put my food separately with my name on the container.When the food arrived I was delighted to find everything we had ordered all in labelled containers. The food was delicious and most enjoyable. We will definitely order from you again! Thanks so much!

Always love eating here or getting takeaway as it tastes exactly like Thailand and takes me back to when I travelled around there.

Wonderful and atmospheric venue. Wonderful food and great value. Good hit with the entire family. Highly recommended.

We really enjoy eating here as it is always a consistently good standard. Excellent, freshly prepared food with best ingredients. Service very good and friendly which compliments the comfortable ambience.

Por un número de años y nos encantó largo este acogedor y agradable pub corrió por Jim y Jackie. Sin embargo, ayer fuimos al restaurante para la cena, cuando el restaurante se convierte en tailandés - camareras muy amables con Jim todavía sirve las bebidas. La comida era excelente y las porciones son realmente buenos. El pato era especialmente delicioso y aromático muy bien de precio para una familia comer. Venga y aquellos cerca Cuckfield permite apoyar este maravilloso lugar!

Ordenados para llevar tres. Nos pareció una buena idea llegar temprano y tomar una bebida en el establecimiento 'Anfitriones', el White Harte Inn. Como siempre, la acogida de Jim Ayling, el propietario era cálido.

Luckily our children enjoy Thai food as much as we do, so we thought we'd try the Good Evening restaurant at The White Harte.

Muy decepcionante. Mal/comida. Gluey y carece de sabor. Que puedo hacer mucho mejor que este y no estoy tailandesa. He viajado.

La comida para llevar que recibí de buenas noches en, consta de ajo Cuckfield pepper pollo, curry, arroz pegajoso Paenaeng huevo y fideos de arroz, Pad thai fue realmente decepcionante. Ni siquiera un chili en el curry! El arroz pegajoso era como sin gluten y el pad Thai, bastante pesado. Creo Bridget Jones podría hacer mejor.

Fantástico llevar comida - grandes porciones y la comida era muy buena. Probé los tailandeses (en HH, burgess Hill y este en Cuckfield es sin duda mi favorito.

We were staying at Ockenden Manor but following a bad experience we decided to eat elsewhere and stumbled upon this place. Lovely food with good vegetarian options and charming staff. Highly recommended.

Didn't feel like eating at Ockenden Manor hotel so found this little gem. Great service, good food. Definitely recommend.

Popped in for a meal - fresh and tasty. Mains were great - nice curry and pad Thai. Really enjoyed our food - lots of it and tasty!

Como siempre un gran servicio y una comida de calidad. Nunca decepciona. cálida bienvenida, buen ritmo servicio y recién cocinado. Relación calidad-precio es más dinero también.

But the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Frankly the combination of restaurant and pub is awful. Sitting at our table there was a queue to use the toilets next to us. It's loud was loud and overcrowded due to the bar literally next to us. But I suppose allowances must be made for it being bonfire night, however this would not have happened had it just been a restaurant.

As a group of 3 couples we went for dinner there on Saturday evening.The lads ordered the hot mixed platter to start and share which was the only mistake as it was 'OK' but nothing more. I have had better mixed platter starters, average. The girls ordered Hot&Sour soups with coconut milk and one of the girls had the Thai fish cakes, both of these starters were a much better option, the girls were very happy with their starters, that's what counts I guess.....Main courses were excellent, a mix of Thai curries and stir fry dishes, all extremely enjoyable and didn't leave you with that heavy feeling. The flavours were strong and pleasant, the rices, noodles and sauces very good indeed. Everybody felt the food wasn't heavy at all and despite the average platter, no complaints at all.Service was pleasant and attentive. Intend to return.

We recently visited relatives nearby, and went out for a meal at the Good Evening. The welcome was warm, the menu was vast and the food was tasty. This is a real gem, and when we're back in the area, we'll be looking to come back.

Fantastic little place!Really fresh ,spicy ,aromatic and beautifully cooked food.really intimate vibe and so relaxed I adore this place. Definitely not to be missed.duck spicy salad is a gem of a dish.

I've been to the good evening several times before and always had a fantastic experience-this was no exception.We went on a Friday night and booked a table which was lucky as the place was heaving with locals. We had mixed starter hot plate to share with the fresh rice paper prawn rolls and everything was great. Particular stars were the fresh prawn rolls very light and fragrant, corncakes and the chicken satay absolutely delicious. For mains we had a big selection ranging from prawn pad Thai, Thai green curry, Thai red curry and Penang curry.The Penang was gorgeous very rich but enjoyable. I think the other currys were good as they were in a broth with lots of sauce and vegetables so nice to share. Coconut rice was gorgeous as were the Thai crackers. We had puddings, although small the sticky rice, Thai sweet potato and Ice cream was absolutely gorgeous!Definitely recommended never had better thai food and that's not just my local bias as I live in the village!

Poor meet and greet, lack of atmosphere (not a pub nor a Thai restaurant), food gets 3/10 and toilets are dingy with chaps having to leave the premises!Plus points are comfy seats, clean cutlery and helpful waitress.I will not go back again unless I had BIG money-off coupons.

I am surprised that no one has so far reviewed the White Harte restaurant itself. I understand that lunches are provided in the same restaurant by the actual management of the pub. We had Saturday lunch there, it could not be faulted.I have grumbled frequently about faux steak pie - stew with a biscuit put on top at the last minute. Not here at the White Harte! My steak and mushroom pie was perfect, good tasty filling, and the most crumbly melting pastry cooked on top as it should be. Mash potatoes (to mop up the gravy) were not on offer, but the chips were perfect. The vegetables were fresh and al dente.My bread and butter pudding was served with custard, as it should be.The White Harte at lunchtime deserves to be much better known.

Following a recommendation of the Good Evening Thai restaurant by a friend a couple of months ago, I finally got my act together and headed out on a freezing cold Tuesday night for some warming Thai cuisine.We were surprised to discover that the restaurant is joined on to the side of The White Harte inn (though under different management apparently) but otherwise is relatively non-descript. Small and comfortable would be the best way to describe it I suppose. Our table was situated next to a charming log fire which was happily crackling away in the hearth only a few feet from where we were sitting. In such humble settings we weren't really expecting that much from the food, but I can assure you that it was absolutely fantastic. We selected a variety of things from the menu (Chicken Pad Thai, Sweet and Sour soup, Coconut rice, Chicken satays, Thai Green curry, Red curry and a couple of seafood dishes) and in tapas-like fashion mixed and matched from the panoply of dishes that were laid out before us. Everything was superb. The curries were fragrant and delicious, the noodles hot and flavoursome, the seafood dishes fresh and filling. There was hardly a modicum of food left after we had cleared our plates and we declared ourselves very satisfied with the meal.We were then treated to a bill that came to less than £18 a head which was a pleasant surprise considering we'd ordered starters, far more main courses than we should have, and a round of beers too. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend The Good Evening to anyone looking for a quiet, delicious meal between friends/family.

We keep coming back here time after time. Superb chef and really friendly staff. Reasonably priced. A lovely spot for a relaxed dining.

Really poor Thai food and poor experience. Dishes very oily, starters arrived after main course, one starter forgotten. There were only 3 tables taken so it wasn't because they were busy. Second time we've been here and disappointing both times. We won't return.

Cute, small restaurant area. But very tight on space - especially if you're 6 months pregnant! Great Thai food though, both starters and mains. Lovely curries. They also provide the food on Cuckfield village open days (fairs, bonfire nights etc...) & do not disappoint on these occasions either!

Staying at the Ockenden Manor across the road and not prepared to pay the high restaurant prices there, we ventured in here having read positive reviews. We weren't disappointed, surprisingly we were the only customers so service was impeccable! Food was of a high standard with the duck, the tastiest I've ever eaten. Recommended!

I don't know how a stranger would ever know that the Good Evening exists. It is part (although I understand separately managed) of the White Harte pub on the main road through Cuckfield.Good Evening specialises in Thai cuisine, and does so very well. We were a party of 8, including two children, and there was plenty of choice on the extensive menu to please everyone. Everyone, including the children, thoroughtly enjoyed the food, portions were substantial, and the service was very polite and helpful.Good, modestly priced wine.Perhaps not a place for a quick meal, but well worth finding your way there for a pleasant relaxing evening.

I love this place, I love my green thai curry & this place does it the best, I have eaten in & had many takeaways & the food is always fresh, generous portions & delicious. I would highly recommend to anyone.

My girlfriend I popped in on a whim (I live in Cuckfield) one weekday night. Very unusual set-up...a locals pub, with a gastro-pub restaurant on the other side of the wall from the lounge with a Thai menu. I love Thai food and we were in for a treat. A rich and diverse menu with more than the usual westernised fare. The service was perfect, the ambience very pleasant and the food out of this world...it really was superb! Honestly the best Thai I've had outside Thailand itself. Do yourself a favour and give it a try, and do me a favour and give it a try, because there weren't too many people in attendance when we went and I'd like it to stay in business so I can enjoy it in the future. Oh yes and cheap too - about £50 for two courses for two including wine.

Personally, I love the fact that this is a 'locals' pub but also a Thai restaurant! The food is always really fresh and scrummy. One reviewer passes comment on the curries being 'watery' but authentic Thai curries are much much thinner than the conventional brown goop you get from our inauthentic Indian takeaways and all the fresher and lighter because if it! We have only had takeaways from here but the restaurant looks lovely too and the service is always extremely friendly.

Very disappointed by the food from this restaurant after hearing good reviews. We ordered a take-away mid week of chicken green curry and beef paenaeng red curry. Portions extremely small, container half full, sauce watery, very little meat in either curry and meat of a poor quality.

After a recent trip to Thailand, I have been craving good, authentic Thai food. Good Evening at Ye White Harte delivers exceptional value and taste, a taste only rivaled by the food of the street sellers in Chiang Mai.The service was courteous and friendly and the food was just outstanding. Good sized portions that left you feeling full and a great wine selection at decent prices.We will be back again, and again, and again!

This Thai restaurant is very pleasant.I like the fact it is located in a local pub - it's a village I grew up in so I like the local factor.I am a Thai snob - I was very surprised how good it was!

Intimate, cozy and the food cannot be at fault! Great curries, great times!
