Mulberry & Thyme in Horsham

This tea room is a little gem. I booked the sweet afternoon tea for my sisters birthday. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Unlimited drinks and a good selection of sandwiches and cakes. We really couldn't eat it all and the waitress boxed up the cakes to take home. All the staff were polite and very helpful and they worked really hard keeping the cafe and outside area clean and tidy. Great value for money . A very enjoyable afternoon treat.

Staff were friendly, but food was overpriced and barely edible. Two adults and a toddler, we had a chicken 'breast' burger, chips, a ham and cheese toastie and a kid's meal. The total came to £40. They must have a good deal with the local mayonnaise distributor, because the burger was swimming in the stuff. Both the burger and toastie also came with coleslaw. Mayo overkill. The chicken was reformed, in some kind of batter and impossible to eat by hand due to the dose of mayo. The chips were deep fried to within an inch of their lives, and all drinks tepid as the fridge was broken (they did provide ice though). The kid's meal was average but poorly thought through. The cheese sandwiches included were made with doorstrps - making them over an inch thick! Have they *seen* the size of a toddler's mouth? I know a cafe in a garden centre is a captive market, but there is a good pub next door - which is where I shall eat next time.

Stopped here for the great British breakfast £10 & eggs Benedict £10. After a wait, received the not so great breakfast- cheap sausages and greasy bacon & lukewarm eggs Benedict. Not worth the money asked for, will stick to coffee and cake next time!

I had a coronation chicken jacket which turned up quite quickly. There were tiny diced squares of meat in almost no sauce so very dry and chicken tasteless. Served with a little coleslaw which was almost dry with little mayo. Couldn’t finish jacket as was left with half a dry potato. Not worth £8.99

Extremely disappointing, on a quick vist to the garden centre I decided to pick up one their breakfast baps to take away. At £7.99 ( to include 3 breakfast items) I was expecting something reasonably substantial. What I got was an english muffin that was so hard, I had to discard most of it. It contained one small sausagse, one small rasher of bacon and a few tiny button mushrooms. At £7.99 it was a complete rip off.
