The Apple Tree in Mid Sussex

Just back from a visit to the newly refurbished Thatched Inn, and was delighted to see a country pub, which always had great potential, finally start to live up to it! Great food - my wife and I had a selection of lovely starters and then excellent burgers and my kids had some lovely pasta (freshly cooked tomato sauce was delicious, why do so many places not make proper food for kids’ menus?!). Nice upgrade on the drinks also, with a good wine list and modernised beer selection. There has clearly been an extensive renovation - gone is the dingy decor and tired furnishings, replaced with a far brighter interior and finally a decent beer garden! Good service also. Some minor teething problems as the new team beds in but all done with a smile and it’s great to see the new management so keen to get to know the village. All in all a very welcome investment and we’ll be back for sure. It’s a shame to see some negative reviews - I guess some people just don’t like change, but for me the departure from a the overly lengthy menu to focus on freshly cooked food is a massive upgrade! Good luck to the new team!

Absolutely smashed it! Totally effortless and delicious and made our second day so great. Highly recommend

Overall a great experience. We had a 2 course meal and everything was great. Staff were also very helpful and nice.

Just had a mildly hot breakfast, first fried egg was cold second one came within minutes but not hot. Whole breakfast was mediocre, would not try it again. Need to serve hot food not warm food.

Very friendly .. lunch menu was amazing good home made burgers
