Beautiful pub with the friendliest staff, will be booking here again. We came for a Christmas themed meal with friends and the food was fantastic.

Today, 26 of us had a superb pre-Christmas lunch at The Red Lion. The food, which we had all pre-ordered, was absolutely delicious. Everything came piping hot and perfectly cooked. The portions were very generous, and we all were super impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to eat with a large group. Have eaten here many times through the year, and have always thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our Girls' Lunch last week was simply wonderful! We were greeted warmly by cheerful staff and shown to a lovely table by a bay window. Our waitresses were patient, helpful and attentive - but not overly so. We chose a mixture of Light Bites and Salads to share between us and everything was absolutely delicious. Simon waited on us and was friendly, cheerful and courteous. It really was a wonderful meal, in a lovely environment........ we will definitely be back soon.

Food was disappointing. First visit to the Red Lion for Lunch, website looked great, menu very extensive and expensive. The look of the Red Lion was great outside and in, clean, warm, comforting and cosy. The staff were very polite, pleasant and welcoming. Hats off to the staff. But the food was disappointing for the price, the scallops were over cooked and a tad salty, our daughters steak order came out as wrong and was dealt with politely and taken back to get the right order, but what came back wasn't good, the steak, at £32, was bland, slightly chewy and hard to cut, the whole plate wasn't great, the chips, and my husbands with his fish, were overcooked and very oily and the mushy peas with the fish weren't great, what's wrong with good all marrowfat peas and why put lemon in them?. We both had the side of greens but had no samphire in as stated on the menu. All very disappointing for the price tag and for the amount we actually ate. We decided to bypass desert. On the PLUS side the waiter did apologise for the wrong steak and took the the price of the steak off our bill. I don't give low reviews but on this occasion in all honesty on this experience I would not recommend or revisit.

After prolonged absence we decided to give The Red Lion another go. (Previous visits were not good). However we were greeted by Jade and and shown to a nice table which we had not previously booked. Simon continued the positive welcome and took our orders. He was very attentive and helpful dealing with our very specific dietary requirements without any problems. He liaised between kitchen and ourselves (bearing in mind we had given no prior notice) and was able to cater for us all very well indeed. Service excellent. Food excellent. Many thanks to all who dealt with us.

We came with friends for dinner as it’s their local and they are very lucky to have such a great place to eat. Service from Nicky and Jade was excellent and the food was exceptional; 2 pork belly, one crab, prawn & chorizo linguine and one sea bass made for four empty plates and we all also had pudding & one espresso martini. The pub is really lovely, comfortable chairs nicely spaced out and a great atmosphere. I wish we lived nearer so that we could go here more often. Highly recommend.

Nice enough pub, with a reasonable drinks selection and friendly staff. We visited for a family lunch (on recommendation) and the place is very geared up for food. However, the food is absolutely dreadful: over cooked, bland and (in the case of the bao buns that I had) inedibly dry. Seems very popular, for reasons unknown to this visitor.

We ordered breakfast at out table and it was delivered quickly with every detail perfectly executed. The food was hot and fresh and really tasty. The drinks were also perfect. I paid what I thought was a fair price and will definitely be returning. You’ll go a long way to find better food in Horsham.

Unfortunately we felt on this occasion the food really was not up to the usual standard - whitebait over cooked - chips not their usual crispy delicious standard - but everyone has an off day and we said it would not deter us from returning HOWEVER we found out as we were leaving that after 14 years of trading the Orchard is due to close at the end of September 😔 So sad as , as a family some who are no longer with us it was always are “go to” place for a good quality home cooked meal . So what ever the owners plans are for the future we wish them good luck 😋
