Excellent food with lovely service! My Wife has celiac disease which is always a concern when eating out. Staff couldn’t have been more assuring or attentive. Highly recommended!!!

Are here on two nights after our pub closed for evening meals. Fantastic food, and definitely the best triple cooked chips I've ever had. Everything was perfectly cooked and very tasty. A great selection of GF meals for my wife. The cask ales 360° were delicious. Staff were brilliant on both nights. would definitely recommend to anyone. The 16th century put was full of character. It also had an excellent beer garden.

I am a particularly difficult person to please when it comes to my drink of choice. The humble tomato juice has been mocked and ignored for some time now, but slowly, a movement that seeks to share the love of the tomato elixir has seen sales increase across the uk by a whopping 3% (according to hotelier magazine!) Anyhow, enough of the boring stuff. I put the team to the test and ordered two tomato juices to see how the team at the Gallipot treated my beloved drink. One with tabasco and one with worcester sauce, thankfully the pub used the best of ingredients as mixers and made sure the balance of tomato and spice was perfect. They didn't over ice the drink either, ensuring some care was taken to get the drink down to the perfect temperature for immediate consumption! So establishments don't give the humble tomato juice the respect it deserves, but the Gallipot team understand tomato juice drinkers. This review is being shared with the Facebook pages: @tomatojuiceloversuk and @juicing as it's important we know who treats vegetable drinks with the respect they deserve. Top marks to an amazing team!

Stunning lunch and excellent service in a beautiful setting. Service was attentive and the staff are trained to a high standard. It’s particularly good to see younger staff working with confidence and a sense of humour without being overbearing. The chef REALLY understands fish cooking and the scallops were perfect. You made our day visiting the Pooh sites just wonderful.

Met friends here who had been before and highly recommended it. What a fabulous surprise it was! This is a family run pub and everyone was so very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious - mussels for me and then Hake - followed by a delicious Affogato. We had great fun with the owners and promised that we'd return again soon. The service was also excellent and personal. Can't wait to go back and would highly recommend this little gem!

The Gallipot Inn is the best pub for miles, Kerry and Leo have turned this place into everything you could wish for in a countryside pub. The service is warm, friendly and has a family vibe. The food is exellent with a great selection, the sunday beef roasts are something else. The garden at the back is awesome and a lovely place to be. Also doggo friendly so you can bring the pooch. Nice open roaring fireplace and wood burner the opposite side of the pub.

Warm , friendly welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Cosy, busy little Pub with a lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly too. Delicious Sunday Lunch. We seldom order pub roasts as they're always disappointing - Not here though, everything was absolutely delicious, not an over-cooked vegetable in sight! Starters, Burger and Pud all delicious too. Compliments to the Chef. Service was faultless , a hardworking team and the service charge was worth every penny. We've already booked to return.

Food is ok but completely overpriced! Prices on their website are old and not updated. Add at least £2-3 to each price. Also , they charge a very high service charge.

Ourselves and another family wanted somewhere to relax after a walk in the lovely Ashdown Forest, 4 adults and 6 boys. This pub came up in my search with top Tripadvisor ratings and I am not surprised. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and well looked after. They were flexible with making sure our children got the food they wanted, fed the kids first (brilliant) and all the food was excellent. Combined with a lovely atmosphere, great humour and a great selection of drinks what's not to like.

Absolutely fantastic, from the moment we walked in through the door, to leaving. We were welcomed by a really friendly waitress, who made a real point of looking after us! I’m coeliac, and felt that she really understood what this entails. So reassuring! The food was some of the best pub food, we have had in years. My husband loved his starter of kidneys, followed by smoked haddock. But, all the meals were great. Our friend’s haddock was huge! This pub was such a good find and anyone local, is lucky to have such a gem on their doorstep. Unfortunately, it’s an hour’s drive for us, from West Sussex. But, definitely wouldn’t hesitate to make the journey again. Thank you for making a catch up with close friends so special!

The Pub was warm and welcoming yesterday evening with a log fire and as always a well set out and socially distanced table arrangement.We did not have a starter but both chose the Slow Roasted Pork which was beautifully cooked, soft and tender with delicious crackling and dauphinois potatoes. We followed this up by sharing an apple and blackberry crumble which was freshly prepared , delicious and tasty.There was a nice ambience in the Pub and Kerry chatted with us as did others who were drinking rather than eating.The Gallipot suits a wide range of customers and if you have not been, do try it as you have been missing out!

Not possible at present but we were shown straight to our table and the menu and drinks arrived quickly.The tables are well spaced out and there was plenty of room for our lurchers to lie down.The pub's Harvey's is excellent and there is a good selection of wines available.The staff and other customers were friendly and we had a very enjoyable meal indeed.

My friends a Tour Guide and I’m his guinea pig for new tours, we’ve visited hundreds of country pubs. Weather was vile so bobbed in for some food and were warmly welcomed into this cosy (but very Covid secure) pub by a lovely lady who’s name I didn’t catch (think the landlady or Manager? Her husbands the Chef). Lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly, chatty locals and their furry friends (it’s very dog friendly). We both had roasts that were spot on, my friend had a good pint of Harvey’s and I enjoyed an excellent Argentinian Malbec.

Let us charge our phones, have a drink and stay for a while. helped us find a local hotel. Lovely people and would reccomend anyone to visit for a warm welcome in a beautiful place x

Having not really been out since March, we decided to go to The Gallipot for our first pub meal. Extremely glad we did. The new hosts have made the pub socially distanced without ruining any of the relaxed atmosphere & we were gently reminded that we needed to add our details to the 'track & test' log & there is a full wall mounted hand sanitiser in the porch outside the entrance to the pub. As a party of 6, we were given a nice big table, a good way from other diners. My scallops were delicious, as was the starter of Sussex smokie & we loved both our mains of Hake & Crab salad. The younger members of the party enjoyed the burger & our friends daughter who suffers from some food intolerances was able to have her 'go to' of a plain bowl of pasta with cheese which although not on the menu was provided without any questions when we phoned ahead. The brownie was to die for & Eton mess was huge & full of fruit rather than bulked with just meringue. The service was perfect,- polite & efficient with lots of smiles. Although we have used this pub for years, we were still slightly wary of having a meal outside of a home environment. I can honestly say we were delighted, we felt as safe as we could possibly have done & look forward to returning again soon.

Never judge a book by its cover, the Gallipot Inn is unassuming inside and out, but the food is great. We had a lovely lunch en famille with lovely choices for adults and children alike. Service was good and there was a nice atmosphere, if you are passing do pop in, you will enjoy!

This stunning little pub earns top marks from the Concierge Desk.Since December 2019 we have sent almost 100 covers here, not all at once though!Wooden Beams, low ceilings and open fires all contribute to the atmosphere here.The idyllic and well looked after garden at the rear looks out onto farmers fields, a great setting for an afternoon / early evening drink in the summer. A short walk from Pooh Bridge and the House at Pooh Corner making it a great stop for those going on an "Expotition" as the bear calls it.The menu is well thought out, well presented dishes ranging from Arancini with Rabbit and Chorizo and Confit Duck with Pancetta, Lentils and Chicory as well as classics such as Fish & Chips.The team are friendly and welcoming. We have worked closely with both Leo and Imogen on several group bookings recently. Most notably, a group this past weekend that consisted of the families of our fellow Concierges from several of London's leading hotels. Feedback from this group was excellent, all meals were thoroughly enjoyed.Price-wise we feel that meals here are value for money, as well as good quality.On the whole, we thoroughly approve and suggest that if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to eat, get over to the Gallipot Inn!For any additional information please visit our Facebook Page @sussexconcierge

Friendly staff and great views in the garden. Unfortunately no Zinfandel rose but lovely gin. Lovely in the summer but must visit in the winter of course.

On Friday 14th we walked to the Gallipot ( one of our local pubs) for a simple lunch. I was served a glass of wine which was definitely not Sauvignon Blanc, I suspect we were given a cheaper brand. We both ordered the venison burger which was dry, overcooked and poorly presented. The ‘salad’ was a few limp leaves, some outer rings from a red onion and some dried out mustard and cress! The Harvey’s beer however was excellent. We have family visiting next week and we certainly won’t be taking them to this pub; indeed we won’t be going there again any time in the near future - come on Gallipot you can do much better!

What a great evening, celebrating Burns night with our neighbours in a brilliant local. All the tradition, the address followed by three courses. Haggis was just perfect. As always, really considerate and friendly staff.

Came here as part of a group for a Christmas Fayre. Hardly any words can describe how poor it was. Not so much the food being bad but the service was simply deplorable. Do explain why you can’t serve your turkey without gravy? Your waitress couldn’t.

We visited for a Sunday roast and were blown away by the friendly reception, cosy decor and excellent food. Baked Camembert to start with, which came up smelling delicious and tasted great. We shared it for two, and could have done with some extra bread - we didn’t ask, but I’m sure the staff would have accommodated. For mains I had the roast beef which, and I do have a lot of roasts as a former pub manager, was probably the best I’ve had in a very long time. The beef was nicely cooked, two good sized pieces, cut thinly so as to avoid it being chewy. Some might think stingy for the thinness; but the size more than made up for it. The roast potatoes were heavenly; crisp on the outside, fluffy insides, and incredibly flavourful. The selection of veg was also appreciated, with beans, carrots and cheesy leaks! A real treat. I like my Yorkshire pudding in gravy, of which there was plenty on the plate - it was also the good stuff, flavourful and not too salty which so many places do these days. We rounded the meal off with a treacle tart, which was decadently sweet but absolutely amazing. I can not rate this place highly enough, and strongly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

I thoroughly recommend the warm atmosphere, service, food and wine at The Gallipot after my first visit yesterday evening. The bar staff were very welcoming and recommended a delicious bottle of wine, their friendly service continued throughout our meal which was the most delicious I’ve had for ages. We chose Smokies, devilled kidneys, moules, lamb, hake and creme brûlée at our table, all of which were consumed with relish. Portion sizes were perfect, generous without leaving you uncomfortably stuffed. We were the last to leave but never felt hurried. A perfect start to the new year.

I led my friends on a 5 mile walk - which turned into 8 after getting lost. The kitchen closed at 3.20 and we didn’t get there until 4. Not only did the pub offer to come to find us, but kept our food warm until we arrived. The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was wonderful and the people were amazing. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough and if I could give them 10 stars I would.

Highly recommend! Couldn’t have asked for more for our wedding bar and evening food. Food delicious and lots of compliments from our guests. Lots of choice of drinks/ beers and even cocktails too! Service great and the whole running of the service/ setting up was perfect which made everything so easy for us! Rich and his team did our bar service and evening food for our marquee garden wedding. They ran the bar from their converted horse box bar and a gazebo for the evening food. Looked great and suited the rural countryside setting perfectly.

We live locally to the Piltdown Man and decided to take an evening walk and test out the new menu. We were not disappointed! We sat in the gazebo as it was a warm evening. When it started to cool down, the patio heaters worked wonders. Service was attentive and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone. My family really fancied the curry, whereas, I had my eye on the duck. Both were absolutely delicious. My duck was cooked beautifully, the fondant potato melted in your mouth and the red cabbage and celery purée complimented perfectly. The only tiny thing I would change if I could, would be to be able to run a tab when sitting outside. However, I do really understand why this decision was made and it definitely wouldn’t stop us coming back. It is so refreshing to have the pub open again, we feel the management have done a fantastic job bringing it back to life and we’re looking forward to many more evenings at The Piltdown Man.

We had a meal here on Saturday as they were advertising a new menu. I had the salmon and my husband had the stuffed pork chop. Both dishes were so so lovely. The flavours were so fresh and the portions were really good as well. My husband said he hasn’t had a pork joint like it before and was blown away. You won’t be disappointed with the food here and we are fussy. The staff are all so lovely and really attentive. We will def be back soon

This is my favorite tea shop. I love the rose cake and the scones are my favorite. They are so delicious. I want to go there every day. I am happy every time I visit here with my husband and my dog. The atmosphere is comfortable and the cake is delicious. The taste of the tea is good.

Great cafe with a real family vibe. The staff is amazing, and you can tell the owners really care about their patrons, staff, and community
