The Cowdray Arms in Mid Sussex

Fantastic, new manager Sherif is a fantastic chef; he has elevated the Cowdray Arms to another level, the menu does not do it justice, the experience, exceptional food and outstanding staff couldn’t do enough to make guests welcome.

Under new management since start of September. Excellent food and service. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

We are staying at Alexander house ….last time we came in January we drove past the cowdray pub and thought … that looks nice… next time. We looked at the reviews recently and although the reviews for the last month or so have been really good we were a bit dubious…. But WOW…. I had pork belly dish and the wife had bouef bourguinon and honestly what a couple of dishes …. Would highly recommend…

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Cowdray Arms! Our meal started with perfectly cooked scallops, accompanied by a sauce so delicious we couldn’t resist grabbing spoons to finish every drop. For our mains, we both opted for the slow-cooked pressed lamb breast, served with potato croquettes, heritage carrots, and jus. This dish was a true masterpiece! The lamb, marinated overnight, was tender and bursting with rich flavors, perfectly complemented by the accompaniments. The balance of the dish was flawless, thanks to the skillful touch of Chef Sharif—who truly deserves an award, if not a Michelin star! We also stayed for one night, and from the moment we arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming. Our room was immaculate, newly decorated, and greeted us with the fresh scent of eucalyptus. There was even complimentary bubbly and orange juice waiting for us! The relaxing and inviting atmosphere of the pub made our stay even more enjoyable, and it was clear that other customers felt the same. A special mention to our waitress, Fatima, who was attentive without being overbearing. Her expert knowledge of the menu helped us order with confidence, and she always seemed to appear right when we needed her. I’ve always believed that it’s the people who make a business truly great, and the Cowdray Arms is the perfect example of this. We will absolutely be back!

We have used the Cowdrey for donkey's years. The restaurant has had its highs and lows but pleased to report that it is currently on a high. Good food, good service, fair prices for a Sunday lunch. My only negative feedback is that there was far too much food served up, which might suit some people, but to me , less is more. Too full to order dessert and a starter and dessert would probably have been sufficient for many people. A few weeks earlier we had the same experience in another hall & Woodhouse pub, The Cherry Tree at Copthorne

Nice pub, good food. BUT check the times for food - the kitchen closes at 19.45 which is pretty early (it was a weekday - weekends may be later?)

Great atmosphere, staff are welcoming and friendly. However, the quality of food has gone downhill. Honestly I've had better food in a Wetherspoons.

Popped in on way home for an impromptu evening Meal…. All I can say is WOW!! Absolutely Superb ! Steak cooked to perfection, triple cooked chips, onions rings …. 🥩🍷😋💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars !!! Thank you

We stumbled across this little gem on our way home from a visit to the Bluebell Railway close to M23. The service was fab and welcoming and no issues with the food. There were 6 in our party and we had starters and mains. Be warned the gammon, egg and chips is not for the faint hearted...a large portion! No complaints at all and if we are every in that area again we will call again.

We stopped by for an impromptu light lunch. The Sharing Ploughman’s turned out to be 2 slices of toast I hard boiled egg Some thinly sliced apple A tomato Some silver skin onions A dollop of pickle Two tiny slices of cheese with cranberries in (disgusting) A small pile of crumbled up blue cheese. Which was not Stilton as advertised. This sad offering dumped on some rather miserable looking bag salad. It would have made a mean ploughman’s lunch for 1 person. To suggest it would be sufficient for 2 people to share and charge £17 for it is highway robbery.

Met family here before they flew out from Gatwick. We should have known what it was going to be like when we walked in and there wasn’t a single other person in there at 6.30 on a Saturday evening. We sat down and decided what we wanted … the waitress came over to take our order only to tell us that 5 of the 12 items on the menu they didn’t have! You would have thought they might have mentioned that when seating us. Most of us had to choose another dish. We ordered Fish and chips, chicken balti, spaghetti bolognaise and beef and stout pie. The fish was massively overcooked and dry, the bolognaise was all tomato. The balti was blatantly microwaved and was pretty inedible, it came with a side of packet naan bread a popadom dripping with oil. The pie was good! We were then offered the dessert menu …. And were told that 4 out of the 8 options weren’t available! This used to be a nice little pub with good food. Obviously not anymore.

We booked an early evening table for 6 on a Saturday evening and were 1 of only 3 tables in the restaurant. After deciding what we wanted the waitress then proceeded to tell us that half the menu wasn’t available? So we ended up ordering food we didn’t really want. The food was awful! Microwaved balti, greasy overcooked fish and chips and Spaghetti bolognese with hardly any bolognese. Had to go to the bar when we wanted more drinks as the waitress had disappeared A shame that a pub that used to have a great reputation locally had gone the way of the chain pubs. Overpriced and poor quality

Mother’s Day a day we can say thank you to most probably the most important, amazing and most wonderful and closest family member in your world!! On Mother’s Day families celebrate by treating, celebrating or remembering their Mum. Sadly my Mum has very advanced Dementia. Which doesn’t allow me to enjoy what should be a special day with the one person in my life who I love to the bottom of my heart. Three weeks ago I booked a table at the Cowdray Arms for Mother’s Day! For my amazing Wife Jodi. We have two amazing children who said to me Dad we want to pay for Mum’s meal today as we love Mum for everything she does for us! Our table was booked for 3pm. We arrived at 3pm. I went to the bar and provided my reservation information. I received a call last Thursday when I was called from an employee from the Cowdray Arms. My Wife and I sat down with our children Monroe 7 and our son Blu 12. Once sat down we were approached by who we believe was the manager. Who Proceeded to inform us they had run out of the following options on the menu! As a family we all wanted a roast dinner! Which we’re looking forward to so much. Then we were told there’s no Pork! Only two Chicken portions left! And beef! I quickly said we will have the Chicken! For the children. My wife doesn’t eat beef nor do I so what other options are you willing to offer! ? After some time he arrived back at our table to inform us the Chicken had gone! I questioned how on earth has this happened? Knowing the amount of bookings you have taken. The reason is they have taken in so many walk in customers they forgot about all the bookings!!! My Wife became extremely upset with how we were being treated with no solution from any staff member or even the manager and no representation from the owners. Absolutely disgusting behaviour the like a have never experienced before in my life. We had to leave!!! I then spent the next 30 minutes trying to find a restaurant so we could eat together and give Jodi the Mother’s Day she deserved. I would like to say a huge thank you to the owner of the Parsons Pig who allowed us to celebrate Mother’s Day with an amazing roast dinner.

Went with my family for a mothers day celebration, well to be honest I was looking forward to this. But sadly I was really disappointed. The soup which was like tomato passata, was like ketchup in it's consistency and looked quite frankly awful. My mother and I both had the lamb, this was undercooked served on a bed of haricote beans with onion and tomato pulp. What a flavourless concoction that looked awful, this coupled to my side plate of cold chips. Expensive too. Avoid...

Today we had our Mother’s Celebration of Life at the Cowdray. From our first meeting with Michelle to the event today we have been so impressed with everything they provided. Communications confirming our requests and all updates were excellent, Dan, Jo and the team were so helpful today and the food was amazing. We just want to thank you for making a difficult day so lovely.

Whilst this place only has three rooms, my room was comfortable and had the little extras like ground coffee. Breakfast was freshly cooked, but sadly the chef put garlic into every dish with the exception of Fish and Chips and Gammon Steak, being on business I could not breathe garlic over my clients, so had to eat somewhere else on my 3rd day. The Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Having not been to the Cowdray for several years, we were pleasantly surprised by the interior, great service and delicious food. A vast improvement on our last visit. We will definitely be back soon. It was warm and cosy and the staff were so friendly, well done all.

Lovely food, a warm welcoming atmosphere and dog friendly! Always a great experience and can thoroughly recommend it.

We visited The Cowdray Arms for dinner tonight, the food was amazing and the service we received from Charlie was exceptional. Thank you Charlie, we will be visiting again soon. 😀

Please sign an agreement before booking an event with the Co owner at ‘The Cowdray Arms.’ All pre-agreed arrangements were changed on the day (causing unnecessary stress at a very sensitive time) Food agreed and paid for was not served. According to the Co owner, who was not present, bar staff had asked a random guest (mourner) if they should serve brownies and were told not to bother as they were going soon-so they didn’t bring them out with the rest of the food. They never spoke to the person who booked and paid for the event. I had to buy more food behind the bar to fill the table. The buffet food however was lovely. The agreed time for having the function area was changed by 40 mins and mourners were asked to leave and go to the bar area. Some had arrived later due to work commitments and just left the pub confused. We were tapped on the shoulder in the bar area and told to take the flowers with us. The Co owner had suggested at the first meeting they were brought to the pub and displayed in the fireplace for mourners to view and she assured us it was not a problem for the pub to dispose of the flowers after the Wake-again this was not the case. Communication between management and bar staff was poor. When I complained in an email I received a very insensitive reply and refusal to refund the missing food. She later replied again and offered £15 as good will gesture…a complete insult. Please just donate your good will to charity!

Came for Christmas dinner very disappointed!! Lots of carrots hardly any other veg !!!’ No taste to the custard with the Christmas pudding!! Then had cappuccinos instead of normal coffee and got charged extra for it! No Christmas atmosphere and then a service charge won’t be going back

We went for Christmas lunch yesterday after having eaten and enjoyed dinner there before. What a complete disappointment it was, the menu states the Christmas lunch was to include the following, honey glazed parsnips and carrots, roasted chestnuts, brussel sprouts and red cabbage. Out of all of those all they put on the plate was boiled carrots that were clearly frozen and not even fresh. I can only assume that the chef forgot what the plate was supposed to contain as no explanation was given as to why we didn’t receive what was on the menu. My son ordered a rib of beef which came out incinerated, thankfully they had another go and that was fine. Shame the same couldn’t be said for the excuse for a coffee which looked like dirty dishwater. Would I go again or recommend? Most definitely not, it was most definitely not worth £90 for a very average plate of food that didn’t even contain what it was advertised. Very poor show Cowdray!!

This pub had different ownership 5 years ago, but as far as I can tell it has declined recently. I have been a customer for 27 years. 7 Years ago you could get a delicious roast for under £5 and it was big and delicious. Now they trying to be upmarket, with food that doesn't always match and unfriendly staff. The decor interior design is nice. They rely heavily on overseas visitors and passing trade who do not know anything about this experience and probably wont come back. The funeral parties booked here by relatives who don't live in the area and take a chance on this venue. The outside garden is nice in the summer, but the car park is full most of the time because people use it as a stop off, or to use the toilet or read a map in the car park. Few cars are people using the pub. If packed, it's usually with funeral parties who sometimes are crying and take up most tables. If you want to have a natter with your partner or mates there are frequent interruptions since they have 'music nights' provided by awful space occupying musicians. These professionals sing great songs that are wrecked and best heard in record or Youtube form. There are many children screaming and running around to annoy you. The bands have wires trailing all over, microphones and instruments that prohibit safe journeys to the toilet or exit. The landlady is often blocking the entrance when she stands in front of it talking to her mates. If you protest you get angry looks. There is nothing this venue can offer that you can't get elsewhere more comfortably and at cheaper price that I can see and I've been in the area for 30 years. There are many better pub/restaurant venues in the area but if mediocrity and poor value are your thing, come here. You might even get some abusive language from people and customers here. The 'accommodation' consists of 3 apartments that were converted from what was previously store rooms, very claustrophobic, and, hey, you won't know until you get here, by which time it is too late, and you probably wont get much refund, they look nice in photos but.... The staff have been instructed to not be friendly to customers because there is too much to do, and there will be money lost at every time if a few words of small talk are exchanged. It is a shame that this once wonderful pub has been transformed into a money netting fantasy. Just enjoy the images on the web, the booking hype may be very costly at the end.

food was basically inedible and what made it worse was the condescending, passive aggressive tone from the owner! Do not eat here!!

Lovely warm welcome in this pub. The food was delicious and plentiful. Price very reasonable and the staff weee lovely. Will definitely visit again

3 course lunch with a friend. Food was very good. Plentiful and tasty. Service was also very good. I would recommend this restaurant without question.

My second time to come here. Faultless food and friendly service. Jess (who looked after us) was just so lovely. Thanks and we'll definitely come again.

We were attending a wedding locally and opted to stay for two nights. Very nice stay and the room was clean, comfortable and perfect for our stay, highly recommended. We had breakfast each day within the pub and we enjoyed it on each occasion, good traditional English breakfast served. On the first night we had evening food in the pub and we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend too. Thank you to the staff who made our stay very enjoyable

Very friendly and helpful staff. Stayed overnight and room very clean and well equipped. Had lunch which was delicious and had breakfast in with room which was also delicious.

Nice pub lovely garden lots of comfy seating drinks good too. Got to just before 10pm us and two other tables still drinking and they just locked the pub door...no thanks for coming or saying we closed so a bit more friendliness would be welcoming.

Went for food here a couple of months ago and that was amazing! However we came back for Sunday dinner and the quality of food was really quite disappointing. A lot of the food was definitely reheated. However, we were able to see someone perform some Acoustic background music. Cath was amazing and gave a great vibe to the place. I hope she goes back there again

My girlfriend and I just vacationed through all of Europe, without a doubt this was our favourite hotel and breakfast. Everything was clean, high class, the food was amazing, best breakfast in all of Europe! We had a wonderful time here, and would love to stay here again.

I stayed here for a couple of days as I was going to a wedding @ highley manor. The room was lovely, food was great & very friendly staff with great service. The only problem was no phone signal - everything else perfect.

Popped in for an early dinner, 6pm, last Thursday. A large party had just left and the dining room wasn’t yet set up for the evening, however we were shown to a large table which was beautifully set. There was a good choice on the menu and food was good. A special mention is needed fo the best sticky toffee pudding I have eaten! Overall a lovely meal, staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed one night. Lovely room, bed very comfortable, fresh milk provided in mini fridge with bottle water too which was a nice touch. All good amenities. Staff very welcoming. Breakfast great.. Plenty of choice and very large portions of good quality produce.

We stayed here for one night, as we were going to a big birthday celebration nearby. The room was very clean and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was spacious, and the towels fluffy. The bed was comfortable and a fan was provided which we did need as it was a hot night. Breakfast was super, with plenty of choice on the continental plus lots of hit choices. Portions were generous, so lunch was not needed. Only niggle was the shower head bracket, which wasn't as good as it could be. We mentioned it on checking out and have no doubt it will be sorted out.

We visited The Cowdray for a Sunday Roast with family and had an absolutely wonderful time. We hadn’t visited the pub for food in quite some time and were greeted by genuinely lovely and helpful staff. Since it was a pleasant day we sat in the garden, there were plenty of tables with umbrellas to offer shade, and they even had live music! Our food came quickly and was one of the best roasts we’d all had in a while. All the staff were so friendly and I definitely would recommend The Cowdray to all!

Lovely overnight stay for a local wedding. Room was decorated very modern and comfortable. Very relaxed atmosphere. The fan by the bed was appreciated for a cool nights sleep in the hot weather and you couldn’t hear any traffic! Lovely breakfast and late checkout. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely lovely Sunday lunch. The plates were big and very full. Staff were lovely and attentive. Good value for money. Will be visiting again

my lamb was over cooked, my husband said the toilets were not great and half of the food we ordered they didn’t have but they did say they had a busy day and service was friendly

Well decorated and comfortable. Spacious room, with a good bathroom. Generous towels and good bed linens. Did expect the room to be noisy overnight being close to the road, and thankfully it wasnt. The tea/coffee station was well stocked with fresh milk in a dinky...

Stayed here for a 1 night stop over as at a local function. Obviously doesn't need to be much for 1 night but this was more than adequate. Rooms were wonderfully decorated, clean, had everything you could need and most of all comfortable. The property...

Stayed for one night, lovely little room, modern and clean. Dinner was excellent, really tasty food. Continental breakfast only but plenty of choice. Friendly, attentive staff, couldn’t fault anything, will definitely be coming back.

Not a great experience. No idea why this place gets 5 stars!! Most staff were cold and unwelcoming the exception being the lovely fella who served us. Order was taken incorrectly. Chips were clearly reheated. Hair in sandwich. Drinks were extortionately priced. Will not be...

This is an excellent pub with very friendly and helpful staff. Our well-appointed room was just across a small courtyard and therefore nice and quiet. Good choice of high quality food and a wonderful range of gins!

Stayed one night - really comfortable. Had a quick snack in the pub which was very good. Staff very welcoming. A cooked breakfast rather than continental would raise the overall score to 5*. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place have visited a few times Was a bit disappointed when I got another wine and gave my old glass back to the bar to be refilled You would expect a fresh glass when ordering a glass of wine .
