Relish in Horsham

As Henfield newbies, we quickly discovered this excellent cafe and have returned multiple times for coffee, cake and wonderful brunches. Today we went for an exceptional Sunday lunch. Perfectly cooked pork with crackling, a variety of well prepared vegetables, very good gravy and Yorkshire pudding followed by Bakewell tart and apple crumble. The choices are wide and the prices moderate. On every occasion we have found the service to be friendly and efficient. Relish is busy, so we tend to book in order to avoid disappointment, although we can usually pop in for coffee without booking if we arrive early. Treat yourselves!

Never have I ever witnessed customers being told to leave even before they have finished their food and drinks because the owner wanted the tables, presumably so she could turnaround as much business as possible. This is definitely the most uncomfortable and rude place I have ever visited. I felt so sorry for those customers who were treated in the most disgusting way imaginable. How the owner continues to attract customers is beyond me. I definitely will not be returning or would recommend to friends or family for fear they would be treated in the same way. Utterly disgraceful!!

Popped in for coffee, were told to leave while we were still drinking as our table was needed for new customers who would be eating. We were not asked to leave when we had finished our coffee, it was immediate. The reason given was the economics of the business. Another table was also told to leave immediately. If Relish wants to introduce a policy of “Food orders only at certain times” that’s fine by us, but advertising that would avoid any confusion. There are ways and means of advising customers that their table is required; the approach adopted by Relish was downright rude, which was commented on by the table next to ours. We are regular customers, the food is good and the service is good, but we won’t be returning, there are other coffee shops in Henfield that welcome our custom.

PLEASE REMEMBER - Reviews are completely subjective - so the dimwit below this review who "doesn't like mushrooms or dogs" - well... this is the countryside, buddy, so a lot people have dogs! And I very much doubt Alison will turn away custom just to appease the absolute minority of people who "don't like dogs"! So here's an enlightening moment for you... turning customers away results in businesses closing! (Or would you like a cafe/restaurant which opens just for you and your personal preferences?) As a Henfield resident, Relish is a great place to go for both food and atmosphere! I have no problems being in the company of dogs in Relish (as long as they're well behaved - and so far they all have been when I've been in there). The food is always of a great standard regardless of the day / time of day. Yes, the timings can rarely be a bit slow, BUT... no one can predict a sudden rush of people all arriving at the same time. So, sadly some people will have to wait... BUT it's worth waiting for! You're not on a time limit in Henfield - plenty of free parking, so no need to worry about traffic wardens etc. I really like the Italian Food Nights - the homemade Tiramisu is probably the best I've eaten!

I was lucky when I turned up, there were 2 tables available, a group of 6 were filling 2 tables up. Order for a drink was promptly taken. Although the food is clearly cooked on site it was rather slow (the place was now full). As I don’t like mushrooms I asked for an extra sausage (the menu lists them as the same price). No I was told. One thing I really didn’t like was dogs in the cafe , especially when it is placed right next to me, and particularly when the server petted the animal. I hoped she washed her hands afterwards. The food was good and wholesome.

This wonderful restaurant is now punching way above its weight. The Specials are now very very good and most imaginative. Compared with other local eating places the prices are most reasonable.AND the owner Alison is absolutely smashing!

Lovely little cafe. Sell some nice fresh food with good choices for vegetarians and vegans. Great cakes and very good coffee. Staff are lovely.

Popped in for coffee and cake with our grandson ( C n C for us, not him 😊). Lovely atmosphere and decoration. Can’t tell from the outside. The staff were friendly and attentive, even getting a high chair for our 9 month old grandson, and showing us how to use the strap 😁. I had a plum Danish. It was delicious. Different to normal fruit Danish. Very yummy. Good cup of coffee too. We’ll be back.

We had dinner at Relish on their italian evening. The food was fabulous and we enjoyed a rather nice bottle of wine. Great service too we really enjoyed our evening:)

I wonder how this small restaurant ever manages to get better and better. The organisation is brilliant, the service 5 star, and the choice of specials varied and always interesting.Extensive menu. If you are eating in Henfield or indeed for miles around this is a must.

Love this place for breakfast... we usually hit it on a Sunday. I've put myself in a bind now, as I've eaten the Sunday Roast Dinner menu...and it was fantastic... so now, I have decisions to make on a Sunday... nice to be spoiled for choice though. Excellent as always...great selection of veg, perfectly cooked meats...

A very welcome new addition to Henfield ! Fantastic bistro supper. Exceptionally well prepared and very tasty food. Excellent and efficient service and very reasonably priced. Such a nice change from a pub meal. Evening meals are now on Thursday,Friday and Saturday nights. Well worth booking in advance as every table was full !

First, it's open on a Monday (hallelujah - unlike so many other places. And it was packed to the brim so shows it's a popular day.). Second lots of lovely vegan option choices. I had the Full Vegan Breakfast Vegan Relish sausages, roasted vine tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, homemade beans, roasted potatoes, avocado, and toast of your choice. My. plate was full to bursting and so was I afterwards.. it was wall-to-wall delicious. My nephew had a vegan sausage sandwich and we both had a pot of steaming hot English Breakfast tea. Lovely atmosphere, great prompt and non-intrusive service - voted a winner overall. No room for either of the 2 vegan cakes on offer.. shame.. next time. Well done Relish - will be back.

Relish is such a wonderful cafe in the centre of Henfield. We’ve visited many times for breakfast but today was a first - Sunday roast! We had the lamb & can honestly say it was one of the best roasts we’ve ever had! Thanks so much to Alison & her delightful team, just fabulous!

Quite possibly the best roast I have ever eaten ! Absolutely delicious meat and a wonderful selection of perfectly cooked veg !!!

Wow, busy little restaurant serving delicious food. 1st time visit and wasn’t disappointed, good choices on menu and speedy service during a busy time at this cafe. Chef Robbie serves up the most delicious food, I have just eaten the best ever scrambled egg that came with the Relish breakfast, light fluffy and tasted so good ( this guy can cook) so well presented and piping hot, probably don’t need to say how good things are here as the people of Henfield already know hence a good idea to reserve a table at busy times to avoid disappointment. Will be back, thank you for the best cooked breakfast I have had out for sometime 🙏

Yet again Relish has surpassed expectations with the best scone I have had in a long time! Outstanding food and friendly service makes this our favourite cafe in the area.

I'm fussy about my coffee and this place was great, decent coffee beans make a difference. Would highly recommend the Coronation Chicken Jacket potato. Good size and tasty and price wise I don't think it will be beaten. Recommend for cyclists as a couple of outside tables too

Went there today for a last minute roast today (we must have got the last table as it was fully booked). It was absolutely delicious. Honestly 10/10. Stuffing was insane and chicken was cooked perfectly! We were in a rush so couldn’t order dessert but will definitely be back.

A dank dreary, wet and dismal morning was brightened considerably by a visit to Relish. Greeted warmly by the staff, great table and a breakfast that will be long remembered. Attention to detail for the customer is paramount. Will be going back! (And again and again!)

Called in for breakfast for the first time just an amazing breakfast thank you, beautiful staff well worth the money it’s just amazing what more would you want for a Sunday experience, also booked up for Sunday lunch next weekend that’s how good we think they are 10/10

Wow! What an amazing first visit! Wonderful quality, great service. We all 3 loved it. See you next Sunday to try your Roasty! Well done to theteam! Xx

Coming to Relish is like visiting family. You are always made to feel welcome by the whole team, led by Allison. The food is delicious: tasty, beautifully presented and great quality produce. From coffee, to breakfast, Sunday lunch or just a drink, Relish does it all, with care, passion and attention to detail.

We’ve had some really excellent meals here recently. The food is just as good as an expensive London restaurant. The staff are lovely and super friendly. Highly recommended!

We both had the special menu fish pie which was on trial.I have no doubt it will become a regular it was so good. Barely able to get through the coffee ice cream afters. Make no mistake this is really serious eating experience. Looking forward to the Sunday lunch experience.

Amazing breakfast, home made beans were fantastic. Lovely friendly staff , immaculately clean . Lovely chilled Sunday morning songs as well. Definitely be going back .

We have been to Relish quite a few times now for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It really cannot be faulted. Great staff, a magical chef and above all, amazing food. The surroundings are pleasant and they have somehow managed to dampen noise levels below that of most restaurants. Can't wait for our next visit!

booked a table for a late breakfast as a celebration. The food was very substantial and nicely presented, staff helpful and friendly. Imaginative menu with good vegan choices using quality ingredients. will definitely visit again.

Sunday, Breakfast ... great service, extensive and interesting menu, meaty hash was absolutely awesome. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

Six of us recently had the best breakfast! The food was all freshly cooked and delicious. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this place

We had an incredible meal delivered to us down the road for my Mum’s 70th- it was absolutely amazing! Three courses of perfection thank you!

I have been an addict of Relish's BLT double decker sandwich for some years now. They also do a triple decker but that is quite a challenge for the best BLT you will find. As ever this small ,friendly, efficient enterprise has transformed convenient eating...

We went for a Sunday brunch and are so glad we did. The food was exceptional. Best breakfast hash I’ve had and I make my own! Great coffee and great service. Due to a mix up our food was delayed but the staff couldn’t have...

We were really disappointed to find out the hotel we were staying in didn’t do breakfast but they pointed us in the direction of Relish. What a fantastic place. Service was good and the food is excellent. Everything was cooked to order and the choice...

Super friendly staff and a great selection of brunches. Eggs royale was done perfectly with a perfect temperature and flavour flat white. Inside and outside seating. Dog and baby friendly (changing facilities available). Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby and peckish.

Ordered 2 bacon burgettes.. 45min wait!? A Man after me orders a full english.. gets his first. After receiving the Food, they were a bit cold and this is very poorly organised. No apologises for being late! Staff training needed. And some care!

We were in the area for a holiday and only found it on our last day but still went back twice in 24 hours! Probably a good thing or we’d have blown our whole budget on daily visits! The staff are very friendly and welcoming...

Booked a large table for a Sunday family brunch. Service was fantastic snd the women who took our orders and kept us up to date on all the food choices was delightful. Well spoken, polite snd interested. Breakfast was yummy for everyone snd a great...

The brownies were so yummy and the service was quick and workers were friendly:)would definitely go to again and would recommend:)

Good coffee & cake in nice contemporary café by the high street. Quick & friendly service. Beautiful decoration and comfortable seating.

We booked Relish to provide and deliver our wedding dinner for 6 people. The food was delivered in good time and ready to eat. We opted for the roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and the lemon meringue pie. Well let me tell you...

We had a delivery by the fabulous Alison of Ribs ,salsa and sweet potato.It arrived ready to eat and I have to tell you these ribs were in the same league as Michelbobs in the USA. Very generous portions and BEAUTIFULLY cooked.Do yourself a big...

We are in the middle of lockdown (number 3) and Relish have come up with this ingenious idea of Sunday Roast Delivery service. It was £14.95 per person and for that we received a huge selection of vegetables, including a cauliflower cheese. We chose the...

It was lovely to find Alison and her team still doing their best at this horrible time. A gem of a place

I like visiting Henfield and always wanted to have lunch here. Wasn't disappointed. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. A coffee, soft drink and Prawn pil pil from the specials menu. Prawns cooked in tons of garlic and herb on toast and small dressed salad. Delicious!

Alison's BLTs are just sublime just loads of scrumpy bacon and almost too big for one person (well nearly!). Marvellous cakes too.

Visited here one Sunday morning and thoroughly enjoyed our brunch - the eggs benedict and poached eggs & avocado on toast were delicious! It was very busy, but the service was efficient and friendly! Thanks Alison & team!

An excellent meal with their own in-house baked beans. Faultless friendly service. I will definitely be back.

On a business trip in the area and this is by far the best brunch I've had in awhile, simple well cooked eggs benedict, charming little cafe, will come back again if I'm ever in the area!

It’s a lovely cafe, with really friendly staff and delicious food. We missed breakfast which we were disappointed about as the menu looked fab. The afternoon/lunch menu was reasonable but slightly limited to sandwiches or jacket potatoes; there was a specials menu but it was...

Being a fussy moo, vegetarian and gluten free, I was delighted to have the best breakfast served to me on Thursday, fresh, full of flavour and best of all a full plate. Thank you

I popped in today around 11:00, on a Bank Holiday Monday (yes they were open) as I was out for a drive, had missed breakfast, and I happened to spot Relish in the middle of Henfield high street on my way through. I was stuck...

Well we have been several times and always had a great meal. Tonight's was a step up. It was a limited amount of covers and a fixed meal at a set price ensuring we managed the Goverment help with the bill. We all had a...

Alison is a superstar and a real asset to Henfield. Her delicious food has been served throughout this crisis, thank goodness. Absolutely yummy, clean and fresh- it's the best cafe around!

I am a great fan of this cafe. Alison who has put every possible effort into making it some thing special and now has a take away/deliver menu that is not only very good value but delicious.Do have a look at her menu on line.

We ordered a traditional breakfast and a veggie breakfast and both were very nice. Beautifully presented with home cooked beans ....not from a tin ! Everything on the plate was of good quality and nicely cooked

These tasting evenings of different counties have become a great culinary feature of the Relish cafe and indeed of Henfield.Prepared by Neha Hampton this Sri Lankan menu was truly exciting.It would be hard to place any of the four courses in a preferential order but...

Thank you so much for a brilliant stop off. We are not local but decided to stop and have some lunch I had a brilliant root vegetable soup which was excellent with a cheese scone yummy and my husband had a club sandwich - well...

Our first time visiting for breakfast this morning. Not only is the food absolutely divine (the home made beans were out of this world) the service was impeccable. It was our little boys birthday and they brought out a brownie with candles for him which...

I love Relish, whether it's just a quick coffee or a leisurely lunch, Relish is a great little find. Right on the High Street, it has been completely remodelled and feels spacious. From breakfasts, elevenses, lunches and tea and cake, they have it all. Their...

We popped in here for Coffee & breakfast & weren't disappointed... The boiled eggs & soldiers were wonderfully cooked & well presented. It's a lovely light & bright cafe with attentive staff. We will certainly visit again .

Excellent, friendly service with a smile. Beautiful decor. Nice selection of food and drink. With even the choice of a glass of wine! I thoroughly enjoyed a nice cup of coffee while waiting for local Post Office to open. Couldn’t fault it!

We went for a birthday brunch and it was lovely, as was the service, the ambiance and lightly playing music! The food was beautifully presented, fresh and absolutley delicious. We had flowers brought to the table, we ordered bubbles and took our time celebrating. We...

Visited this place a few times since they opened in May and am always delighted with the incredible food, decent coffee and delicious cakes. Their welcoming service makes you feel right at home and part of the community. A fab addition to Henfield High Street.

Our first visit since this venue opened, we ordered two coffees and then 2 cakes, the cakes arrived no coffee, we reminded the staff, sorry will get it now we were told. Cakes finished still no coffee another reminder, again unfulfilled. We left after 40mins...

First visit and won't be the last. Really delicious breakfast. Good quality and really nice staff. Visited on a Saturday morning and the cafe was very busy which is always a good sign.

We had the most delicious lunch with friendly service. The Thai curry was a generous portion, authentic and very tasty. The prawn and avocado salad was perfect and much enjoyed. Although we were really too full for dessert we managed to share a chocolate cake...

Really fantastic breakfast. Eggs benedicts was yummy. My daughter had granola that was also yummy. Coffee was excellent with choice of non milk. Great staff. Will return soon.

Lovely breakfast. High quality and home/locally sourced. Tea was fresh loose and delightful. Love the homemade baked beans. Staff also very friendly and helpful and on point.

My partner and I went to this place a lot when it was Taste Deli, but it's even better now. The breakfasts in particular are great. We've had salads, curries, and other meals there as well. Fresh produce, fab selection. They've got lots of veggie...

Relish - formerly Taste...deli - is doing well. It serves good food and the new owner has put a lot of thought into the decor, the ambiance and the food. My one quibble is that the staff - mainly young and inexperienced - need better...

Four of us went to the Vietnamese night.The food was very exciting, the atmosphere electrifying the service great and decent wines at sensible prices .Shame it was a one off and hopefully Relish will become a regular feature of the Henfield eating experience.

Popped in for a second visit while my car was being washed across the street. Lovely Scandi inspired interior and super friendly efficient staff. Just as lovely as my first visit. Had perfectly boiled eggs and soldiers and a pot of tea. Forgot to take...

My partner and I went to Relish for the first time on Sunday. It won’t be the last. Such a wonderful cafe, lovely decor and food was exceptional. Friendly staff and a welcoming ambience. It’s dog friendly too so will be heading back there soon...

We were in Henfield for a Craft show and decided to go for lunch.... Walking through the village shops were came upon this little gem of a café. My wife and I decided on the Tuna Mayo sandwich (with spring onion and gherkin) and we...

excellent food, friendly stuff and wide range for vegetarian and vegans. lots of of space and dog friendly.

A great cafe which has helped to lift the high street. Great food and very good coffee. I’ll be visiting for breakfast or lunch on a regular basis!

Have just visited for coffee and cake and I can thoroughly recommend this café. The cakes we had were lovely and moist, just how cake should be! As we have just moved to the area and are within walking distance I can see us visiting...

Perfectly situated in the high street in Henfield. Lovely friendly staff, great coffee and delicious food I have quite quickly become a Sunday regular!

You'd be forgiven for thinking that there were too many cafe/coffee shops in Henfield and it would be hard for a new venture to stand out. But Relish does just that. It's in a beautifully refurbished space, which is now bright and modern, and the...
