A pub that became a hotel and is now not quite either. Has both restaurant and 'dining pub' area. Reasonable menu and OK food. Bedroom was clean and comfortable.

When in for a Sunday roast it was amazing so fresh so lovely all the staff were so helpful and the place was very warm and welcoming. I’d highly recommend I will be going back.

We booked on their website expecting to find the comfortable and friendly accommodation the site promised. They confirmed our booking by email but said nothing about a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm nor that a noisy group of people would then shout even closer to us until 11.45pm. Having asked if we would be dining we entered a totally empty restaurant to be served one of the worst meals we have ever tried to eat. The whole experience was a nightmare only slightly relieved by the sincere embarrassment and apologies from the guy to whom we complained. (Not the owner). The room was clean but cold and did not warm up when we asked the owner why the radiator couldn’t be adjusted up as it was stone cold.

I can’t stress just how poor our visit was, how disappointing and how angry it made me. We booked a room on their website to which they confirmed by email. I stress this as they had ample opportunity to advise us they had a live band playing a few metres from our room until 11pm! After that a noisy table of people continued shouting until 11.45pm. This followed one of the worst meals we have tried to eat. In a totally empty restaurant devoid of any atmosphere - not a picture on the walls, poor lighting and scruffy furniture overlooking a dilapidated garden. Our food included Concrete pies and peas like bullets, even the ice cream had ice crystals in it. It was in all an appalling experience save the cleanliness of the room and the sincere embarrassment of the guy who attended us.

Lovely pub, lovely food, excellent staff but I don't expect on a Sunday afternoon to have a child screaming for an hour. I would have taken my child out which I did when she went off on one. Do NOT call us dinosaurs!

I've been to this pub a few times, very freindly and welcoming pub, dog friendly and a great kids menu. There are a few retired regulars who seem to think it's 'their' pub, and couldn't tolerate my young kids being loud and enjoying themselves for a couple of minutes. I'm not sure what they expect when they go to a pub on a Sunday afternoon, that has a kids menu..... Maybe they should stick to Monday-Friday if they have so much trouble hearing kids enjoy themselves. Nothing against the pub at all, just the impatient, dinosaur regulars.

Had a business meeting here today and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. From making our booking to the warm welcome to the food and drinks, everything was perfect. Staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this pub. Thank you. Will definitely be returning. Tyler.

Thought we would give this pub another try as I believe it has new owners . Bar staff lovely and friendly but food very disappointing. Went for my birthday , very limited menu when I asked why I was told because its January and they are quite. Didn't have the pie or the salmon so ended up having the chicken curry which was very disappointing. The rice was like a sponge and the curry was very dry . As I said staff lovely but would not go back for food , very disappointing

I hadn’t been in this pub for about 15 years but when I heard it had been refurbished & taken over I thought I should give it ago. Since then I have been in weekly to eat & drink, the food & the service has been great. I would highly recommend the beef burger & chicken burger.

We left early so didn't eat breakfast but I would stay here again. Great value for money and did I mention that the room was super clean!

So I actually went to the Ardingly café and here I was served the pictured lovely, tasty dish, Avacardo Smash with scrambled Egg, instead of a Poached Egg as I don't particularly like them. This was again no trouble as I had actually substituted to a fried Egg before the scrambled eggs from the poached Eggs! I and my Partner were actually late as cooked service should have ceased at 2.15, we having arrived at 2.30 were nonetheless warmly welcomed and quickly served the pictured lovely dish! My partner had the same, no drama on her part with which Eggs to have with her serving with!

It's not terrible, but I would not choose to stay here again. Stairs are steep and not well lit. Food is uninspiring. Room was cramped. Doors are hard to open and close as they clearly weren't adjusted the last time the carpet was changed. On the plus side the shower was good by hotel standards and the place was clean and tidy. The staff were all friendly and helpful. You pays your money and takes your choice.

Great food, freshly prepared. Just caught the last lamb shank and the cider battered cod was huge! The bar has a one way system in place and everyone in the bar was socially spaced with enough room to walk through and place order. Was a nice evening so sat outside for tea. Excellent value (even if the Eat Out scheme wasn't in place). Friendly bartender too.

The pizza! It's terrific. I spent a night there and was greeted warmly by the staff. They gave good COVID measures in place which I appreciated. My room was a little small but perfectly adequate, and spotless. As others may have said, the only food available is pizza. But what a pizza! It was delicious. One of the best I've had anywhere. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay there again when I'm back in the area.

Happened upon this lovely little treasure with a friend whilst our other halves where doing a Charity Bicycle ride on Sunday 1st Sept. What a fantastic mix of country and contemporary styling coupled with great food and service with a smile! I had the light and fluffy scrambled eggs on granary toast alongside a couple of delicious strong flat whites, my friend had the homemade granola and yoghurt, which she told me had just the right amount of sweetness and pot of herbal tea. The cakes and other items coming out of the kitchen looked equally tempting! l definitely recommend a visit to the Ardingly Café, it's the kind of place where you could just pop in for a cuppa or easily while away an hour or so over homemade food and a cosy atmosphere. The young Ladies serving are polite, attentive without being overbearing all in all a credit to the Cafè. Look forward to seeing you all again!!

Decided to do a circular walk from Ardingly (no 2 in the Walks from West Sussex pubs) and discovered that the Oak Inn, listed there, has closed down. Chose the Ardingly Inn instead and was surprised to be able to book a table for 8 so easily on a Sunday lunch time. Was there something wrong? Absolutely not. A short but ideal menu, great food for children and adults, friendly service and an all-round lovely lunch - and good value too. The landlord told me that it seems people pass the pub by as it’s slightly set back from the main Lindfield-Turners Hill Road. You’re missing out. We’ll be going back.
