Red Lion in Mid Sussex

Great food and super friendly staff!

Excellent front of house. We had pub classics - ham, egg and chips, burgers etc. All decent and kids enjoyed it. Reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere, log fire. Exactly what you want from a pub.

It's OK, staff were friendly and food was adequate. Needed a steak knife for the roast beef. Harveys was good and the potatoes were excellent but overall missed the mark. Still worth a visit but not regular.

Cute country pub, small oven fire and welcoming staff exactly what you want from a pub in this type of location

Very nice and friendly service 👌 . Very accomadating for kids. This pub also has alot of history as it is very old from the 16th century

I'll start with some good things: The staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere was nice, they have some board games which are great fun for the kids and adults. That's about it. I honestly don't understand how this pub has such a high rating. Maybe because people only have a drink there and then leave 5*. Nothing we tried tasted or looked better than 3*. Pretty much the only thing on the kids menu that was available was fish fingers and chips. They even ran out of pasta. Adults menu didn't have much to offer either. We ended up having a pie, burgers and scampi, and it just wasn't great. No one enjoyed their meals and I had an upset stomach all evening after that burger.

Great little country pub, friendly staff. Did not eat, had drinks only, but will return for a meal soon.

Haven't had any food yet since the news owners took over this year, but I hear it's good. Very nice people and a great community hub too.

Lovley pub with a fantastic menu staff very friendly lovely garden nice country pub

Great pub want to try food next time 10 x times better than grumpy old git that was there before

New people running pub No food Hot day and the man was chopping wood whilst we were trying to have a quiet drink

The landlord of the place just changed 3 weeks ago. It was a very nice atmosphere in there. I'm traveling by bicycle, got wet in the rain and could dry my clothes on the fireplace. Very nice owner and customers, i even got offered to pitch my tent in the garden. Real authentic English Pub experience, I recommend a visit for locals and travellers/tourists as well!

We went there for food but unfortunately it was not available. The people around, though we're very hospitable and guided us to another pub/restaurant to have food.

Proper village pub. Excellent atmosphere, very well kept beer 🍺

Proper local pub. Cozy with some great memborila

Great for a friendly beer and local pub experience

I can't fault this restaurant. 7 of us met for lunch here on Thursday, the food was outstanding and the service couldn't be faulted a big shout out for Andy, our waiter, thanks for making our experience great.

I booked this for a table of 8. I was so relieved it was good! Lovely, substantial Sunday lunch and gorgeous desserts at a really great price. Very friendly staff. Nice and homely.

Lovely pub. Beautiful fireplace. Warm welcome

Sunday lunch could have been better

Thank you for a lovely meal for our family gathering!

A lovely pub with lots of knick-knacks to look at. Fantastic hosts, who could not have done any more to make us feel welcome. There were 8 (7adults and a 2 year old) of us that decided to pop in as we were looking for somewhere to go for a meal after pumpkin picking. Excellent food that was freshly made to order. Great sized portions. Thanks for helping us enjoy a lovely afternoon.

My wife and I met old friends here for lunch yesterday. We can't praise the welcome we received and the food too highly. The lamb shank and chicken and leek pie were excellent as were the desserts. Gemma and her team ensured that this was a very special and memorable occasion. We will definitely be coming back.

I love this pub it's proper pub with interesting decor ( there's a suit of armor.) The landlord is great and he's got really nice dog!

Very quaint old pub with excellent beer and English cottage garden.

Lovely traditional little pub, with a spacious garden, tucked away in Turners Hill. Really good food and not too expensive. Highly recommend the Ploughman's if you're hungry!

Went to this pub a few times during our 2 week holiday in Turners Hill August 2023. The pub is “undone’ & full of charm & character. They only serve food for lunch which is generous & delicious and includes that rare breed, a sandwich menu. Check out the beef pie as well. The pub is frequented by many local characters & hosted by the low key & ever helpful landlord Mick.

Wonderful traditional village pub. Very welcoming and excellent food. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub well worth visiting if you are in the area.

What a lovely little pub. I thought I was in Cornwall. Friendly staff with great views.

Lovely proper pub. Always someone to chat to.

Great food great vibes lovely landlord! Great for bikers! Would come again! Recommend the sausages and mash and the prawn sarnies! ;)

Great little pub with an excellent pie, potato & vege. Lovely owner and staff and lots of locals who enjoyed it!

Nice little country pub, nice beer with a friendly atmosphere. Very nice.

A friendly pub with a warm welcome, frequented by locals and great beer. Did not eat so am unable to comment but if rest is anything to go by I'll have to give it a go.

Had lunch here again today with friends. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service is friendly we will certainly return in the near future

Stopped here for a pint and sandwich lunch. All great and served with a smile. The pub itself is an ancient pile which hasn’t been tarted up too much so it retains a lot of character. Menu is simple and straightforward which is a nice change from the same old everywhere else.

Great pub good music great friendly service

Bardzo przyjemny pub w starym angielskim stylu.

Nice friendly pub and really good food.

Hadn't been here for a while and understand that it has changed hands in the last couple of years. Had an excellent pint of Harveys and a sandwich. The staff were charming.

beautiful village pub , work at a family fun day here today and staff were very friendly and helped their locals are welcoming and friendly would highly recommend had a bbq and live singers today and they have things going on around every two weeks ie comedy, bands , fun days and more check out their online pages for more information

superb little village pub , we attend a family fun day , staff are brilliant and very friendly, has something every two weeks or so comedy, bands, check out their pages for more information would highly recommend

It is good to see a nice selection of sandwiches on the lunch time menu and open on a Monday. As so many pubs have removed sandwiches from there menu's. The beer and food was very good . We sat in the large side garden on a hot day . We will back for more.

Excellent service. Highly recommended best pub in turner's Hill.

Comfortable and professional service. Nice food. It's worth a visit as we will return shortly. A reasonable price for food and drink. My wife and I both enjoyed our visit

It is not often that we find a venue to take a Walking Group that ticks all of the 'boxes' when it comes to the following combination : Making our arrangements, taking advance food orders, billing, welcome, service, taste/quality our payment. This pub scored VERY highly on all counts ~ seamless. Big grins all round!

We had a delicious lunch served in this olde worlde pub in turners Hill. Great choice of home cooked food - the pies and quiches are delicious! Will be back for Sunday lunch !

Great food, great atmosphere, great hosts. Sunday lunch amazing.really good selection of beers. Reasonably priced

The Red Lion is a small pub just of the main road in a side street, but it's a great find, beams, great beer and good bar food, and a very good atmosphere. Parking is easy outside or in the car park.

I used to drink in this pub many moons ago but hadn't been there for many years. It is a 30 minutes cross country walk from home so my wife and I decided to walk there with our young grandchildren. It was worth the walk. Great food and drink in a nice rural location. Choice of gardens or dining room to eat. Kids enjoyed playing in the garden. Enjoyed our walk so much, we went back a week later and plan to make it a regular place for lunch, with or without the grandchildren.

We come here on average 6-8 times a year, more in a good year. It's a round 2 hour trip. Clearly worth it. Until now. Beer: good, well-kept Harveys. Food: fair. Landlord: relaxed, amicable, dry-humour...typical. And then we have the Landlady....Ah yes, the landlady. How to undo years of good work and a repeat-customer in one easy hit of mistaken incivility. If you're going to come here...well, make sure she's having a 'good hair day' otherwise your pint of milk-stout will curdle in one glance. Utterly reprehensible customer management. Shame.

We don't live far from the Red Lion...just 5 mins down the road. We tried the Duke's Head but it was just a chain themed pub with overpriced food and drink and a bizarre alpine themed interior...and hit n miss staff. Found this little place and we love it. Not pretentious just genuine and not a chain...worth the extra taxi money!!!!

We been to this restaurant several times with and without kids and have not impressed with the food or service like other good restaurants I have visited in Sussex. Don't get me wrong, the food was good but nothing really special to keep it in your memory. And we have tried almost 75% of the menu dishes from stater to dessert. Services most of the time was slow, even for payment to take. Although the waiter/ waitress was very polite. Restaurant atmosphere from busy lunch or dinner still feel like something missing in it. After several visited I would not want to have my meal there again. Try it if you like and try other good restaurants in the area and you would understand what I mean. I would say it was right on the value for money but there are restaurants that makes your money worth to try for.

This pub really knows how to served beer at its best. The lunches are fantastic, try one of the pies!

We took a group of German Lions here after attending Ardingly show. There was a beer festival on, quite expensive. The general opinion was that food etc was alright but nothing special.

Traditional pub, extremely well kept, wide range of real ales. Friendly landlord and landlady, a proper old school pub.

we had a party of 5 the burgers were great the stake and kidney pudding was superb the fish pie (sailors pie) was superb scampi was great and the puddings lovely we couldn't eat another thing

booke a table 28/12/13 for lunch.we waited just over 1/2 hour and it was worth the wait foo was lovely..considering the pub was very busy... hat goes off to the chef only 1 in the kitchen deffo will be returning ..

The Red Lion is an old fashioned pub on a street near the centre of the village of Turner's Hill, which is close to, but not the same as, Crawley Down. It's a pub of the type that are rapidly vanishing and needs appreciative custom to stop this happening here. It's run and staffed by a landlord, has several regulars in the bar and has recently undergone a big refurbishment to it's restaurant/bistro area. It stocks excellent and well kept beers (including mild which is a vanishing brew) and bar snacks and there are dominoes and cards to be borrowed. They have an open fire in winter and it's not been modernised to remove its soul!
