The George Hotel in Horsham

We went there for a sit in curry. Couldn't fault it, food was excellent and service was great. Improved since last time. Well done.

The best Indian our family have tasted, authentic and full of flavour. Staff very friendly and kind. Floors could do with a good clean. However the food is incredible and outweighs any other factor. Will definitely be visiting again and pass on our positive experience to friends and family.

Very dated needs a good update, deffo needs redecorating rooms are poor the shower was very dirty and mould and n the shower curtain and on the tiles. The bed was very old and the springs on the mattress was poking through I would not recommend my dog to stay at this hotel AVOID at all costs. Staff didn’t have any idea on how to run the place. PLEASE DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL !!

Dirty rooms, no customer service, wrong rooms given .overall very run down accommodation, could be really lovely if smartened up,needs good clean.would not stay again.

Nice location on the high road, but really shabby rooms. The staff tries to care, but unfortunately basics fail on number of fronts: the room and bathroom was not cleaned when we arrived, we asked for that to be corrected. It wasn't. The hotel in general also has a significant smell challenge with the 'pub' being an Indian restaurant. The A/C didn't work. The window couldn't close (our room was on the street). Nothing was fixed despite repeat asks. Won't stay there again.

Absolutely vile. Turned up they had given the twin room I booked away to someone else and just substituted with a double. Pointless when I’m staying with a friend ! The place is a kip. Filthy. Didn’t even use shower showered at the event we were at. The shower curtain is a health hazard so I’m sure you can imagine the stage of the rest of the place. Wipe you’re feet on the way out !

Utterly appalling. Shabby. Not clean. Lights in the room were not working. We were booked in for two nights. Our room was not cleaned. Wet towels were left in the shower. I was told that they only had one clean bath towel left, but hoped that fresh laundry would arrive! This was after 5 pm! Breakfast was expensive at £15 and a congealed mess on a plate. Do NOT waste your money on this hotel. If there was a zero option for the rating I would have selected it.

Nice hotel. Room was small, comfy but adequate. Downstairs was an Indian restaurant. I was looking forward to eating there, especially as it was raining hard. The restaurant does not open on Mondays, the day I stayed. Got soaked going to another food place. Parking at the back was good. And side entrance to the hotel has a ramp. The place was quiet and close to Gatwick., 20 mins drive. Generally needs a refurbishment. But I would stay there again.

Ideal location - sadly that’s where the positives end. Had to request a towel as only shower mat in room, cups were dirty, urine stain on underside of toilet seat, bed base unclipped (clip on floor under bed). Curtains not secured properly to rail. Stained carpet and absolutely filthy under bed, discarded water bottle goodness how long that has been there. I only visited thank goodness but friend of my stayed there for 2 nights - he definitely will not return. We were told by management’ that if we were not happy we could obtain a refund for the night and leave the hotel immediately at 9.30pm !! Absolutely dreadful in my and my friends opinion.

Fantastic curry this evening Lovely friendly staff can fully recommend

Disgusting ,moldy room .Couldn’t stay there and they refused to reimburse me.Behind the duck tape you could see clearly into next room.They should be shut down.

This wonderful pub is now basically a curry house

Visited for a curry meal which was excellent. Really enjoyed! Thank you

The service is outstanding, it sets a standard for others to achieve. Top grade ingredients, lovely setting and exceptional value. Go here before everyone discovers how brilliant it is!

A perfectly nice meal for a 5:30 pm midweek meal. Friendly service, reasonably priced and all of the dishes we ordered were good: poppadoms & chutneys, butter chicken, saag aloo, tarka dahl, lemon rice & pilau rice. £48 incl two glasses of Prosecco. I’ve known and visited the George on and off for 45+ years and the only thing that I’d suggest is recapturing some of the warmth and charm that the pub has lost in recent years. It’s a beautiful old building but didn’t look or feel inviting. Then it might warrant a 5*.

Booked one night at this hotel on the way through Henfield and it was a terrible experience. The owners hadn’t updated their Google write up so the ‘free’ breakfast was actually £15 if you wanted it. The shower was freezing cold, so we were up and down the stairs four times asking them to fix it before they actually tried to help. Apparently you have to have the vanity sink tap on full blast before the hot water comes through, which is just a horrendous waste of water. And even then the hot water would sporadically turn icy every 30 seconds or so. They should not have any guests here until they get their plumbing sorted. There wasn’t even anyone around when we left at 10am to discuss this with. A truly awful experience and ecologically wasteful practices. Save yourself and go anywhere else.

Very authentic tasting and lovely! Will be ordering here again from the future for Indian food, thanks very much!

Clean bed, hot shower, quiet, surprising fast WiFi ideal for work online meetings. The hotel I did not know is above a lovely quiet pub and Indian restaurant. Hardly a reason to leave after work just sit downstairs for a lovely meal. Currently going through menu and can say the starter fish, main lamb, main butter chicken with pilau rice and very good nans I will return again. :)

Excellent freshly prepared food with attentive and friendly service. We could not fault the flavours and overall quality of our meals - a very enjoyable experience, highly recommended.

Our party of 10 had dinner at the Elaichi last night. The entire group thought the food was excellent. All the mains and side dishes arrived promptly and the service was spot on. The meals were very generously portioned with lovely tender meat in both the lamb and chicken dishes. A very enjoyable meal at a reasonable cost.

Thought we would give it a try. We usually order from cowfold tandoori. This takeaway was absolutely shocking and pricey. What a waste of money. I’ll go through the order - mint sauce tasteless, greasy onion bajji and inedible greasy prawn puri. Less than a chicken breast of meat in a butter chicken. Butter chicken wasn’t a butter chicken. Lamb was like saw dust. The biriani was very spicey ( didn’t order something spicey). The only thing ok was the rice and the butter chicken had a nice flavour. Wish we had read the recent reviews. Massive disappointment.

Excellent place. Food was lovely. Their Master Chef is such a nice guy. Loved it 💖

Had no heat in our room, despite having both a radiator and an air conditioner in the room. We had to talk to them three times before they came to actually look at the room. The workers also appear to have loud parties for hours after close of business and on days the pub is closed. Club music loud enough to vibrate the walls at 8pm on a Tuesday night, for example. Music was turned down when we spoke to them. Bed was uncomfortable and room, particularly bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly. Expect better for the price. Food and bar staff were great.

Absolutely delicious food, full of flavour. Most authentic tasting curry I've had outside of India. I ordered over the phone for delivery and food arrived hot and on time.

Food was superb. Every dish was wonderful. Staff were great. BUT it was very cold in the restaurant which spoilt an otherwise perfect meal

The room which they gave me was so dirty for a human being to sleep the toilet was not cleaned l couldn’t brush my teeth in that toilet what l have seen in the toilet it puts me off l couldn’t eat my food. The bedding has hair the pillows where smelling bad, to make matters worse the water was cold .

Awful food and the service was terrible please don’t eat at this establishment Biryanis were were mega hot and inedible too spicy tandoori chicken was so spicy hot inedible. Had to ask for the small veg curry with the byrianis which should accompany the meal. No offer of another choice terribke

The food cannot be faulted, great flavours and plenty of it. Just please get front of house sorted out - i was quizzed 3 times about a reservation i had made by phone (answering service) despite the fact they only had 2 reservations written down and were not busy (why the fuss?). Also we were quizzed unnecessarily several times by can I remove this empty bottle etc??? The ‘manageress’ who took the order was pushy

Went in and order a curry they said okay and went off and served someone else and then went off and did something else and then answered the phone and then stood around. Chatting 19 minutes later !!!! and ignored me very unorganised

Fantastic meal and great authentic experience with great fusion of tastes. We've been so excited about what the George would turn into. An Indian restaurant is great for us and differentiates from the plough and the white hart.

booked in for a night . The single room was small and the furniture was peeling . There was a small tv fixed to the wall that you would have to stand up to watch .There was no cup and the utensils were sparse . The bedding was sub standard .The worse thing was the smell .When I requested a change due to the smell they told me they had no room available . I got the feeling they were not willing to give me a bigger room as the place wasent that busy

Great evening with the family Friday night fabulous food and service. The fòod was spot on. Thanks to the staff x Great food. Nice to have a great pub with an Indian locally. Well done.

We returned to another of our pre-covid favourites yesterday (19th May) and it turned out we were the first customers to eat inside the restaurant since lock-down was relaxed! So we had the undivided attention of the lunch-time staff and Chris the owner. The menu is very different and more up market than before, and although higher in price the food is FANTASTIC!! We eat out a lot and this was up there with the best I have tasted. Don't miss this place.

We wanted to go out with our close neighbourgh(in our bubble). Great meal and fantastically well cooked and prepared. We all had starters main and dessert with liqueur coffees. Great value and great service fantastic time. We will be back. Bryan Wineham

Historic coaching inn located in the middle of Henfield which was easy to find. Car park is small with perhaps 8 spaces. We had a friendly welcome and quick check in. Lovely clean en suite room, overlooking the High Street. Bed was very comfortable. Ate dinner in the pub restaurant, service good and meals were delicious - tried the gluten free potato lasagne bolognese and the wasabi burger.

Due to lockdown I ordered their Sunday takeaway, I can not recommend highly enough, hot food cooked to perfection, high quality and loads of it. Great value for money, friendly staff. I am now stuffed and need to lie down! Well done everyone at The George.

Again an excellent Sunday lunch. We have been several times and have never been disappointed. Excellent food and very friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely place, up on business and found this wonderful pub on and hotel on another site, we'll worth the visit. Ultra friendly staff and great welcoming atmosphere.. I recommend this place.

Had our Father/Father-in-Law's wake here today. The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. Thankyou for putting on a lovely spread. Will be back for a Sunday Lunch.

Very good menu choice. The staff are always friendly and the food is very good. The restaurant has a lovely ambience. I would recommend the George.

I popped into this hotel/pub for coffee and was extended a friendly welcome. It’s on the high street in the centre of this busy small town. The hotel is an old building and much of the ground floor retains many of the old features which can be a bit gloomy if you prefer something more contemporary. The bar staff were very friendly and informative and the young barman from Hungary extremely polite. There are lots of food options...restaurant, bar snacks etc. Cannot comment on their quality though and not sure what standard the accommodation is like but I would certainly return again.

Visited this restaurant for the first time. The building is beautiful and the interior is warm and inviting. Upon our arrival we were about to sit in the bar end where a lovely fire was going. However a lady with her child rushed past us and it was apparent that this child was going to be noisey. So we changed our plans and sat in the empty restaurant area. Shortly after we realised that this was the owners child and mother.The waiter, bless him was trying his best and got the fire going for us. Shortly after the power cut on some but not all the lights. Not sure what the issue was but some guy in jeans and a T-shirt came over and apologised. He was the owner.The waiter was very attentive but did at times not get the little details...giving time to look at menu, steak knives, wine cooler and a like. Little details really but they do make a difference. We both ordered steak. It was cooked perfectly and tasted good however it was cold. In fact everything on the plate was just warm at best. I suspect in main this was due to a very cold plate. I did highlight this to the waiter and he said this was unusual as they heat plates but would feed it back to the kitchen. The owner did come over but made no mention of it.Overall a pleasant experience but missing some important details. If you are going to charge £25 for a plate of food, I think expectations will be pretty high and hence I can’t give it more than 3 stars for this visit. But I may give it another try in hopes it was a one off.

Popped in there on the 1st Nov for a meal Can only say the food was great and the wine too love a bottle of Mirador ! Staff all polite and friendly and the evening was topped off with great music from Willie Austen and his son Oli Will definitely go back

Booked for Sunday dinner with my family 11 of us in total. We were offered to pre-order to ensure they had what we wanted which was great. We arrived at 4p had drinks then were lead through to our table when our food was ready. Food was fantastic. Service was fantastic we are all looking forward to going again.

A friendly welcome but Room 101 is very tiny and I had to pay up front before seeing it. It is a single room but the bed, although clean and comfortable, is hardly long enough for anyone over 6ft tall. The stool under the shelf had not been hoovered behind for some time as skirting board had grey fluff on it. The room was over the night entrance / exit to the hotel so a bit noisy for early deportees. I can not recommend this hotel for a stay.

The George is a lovely hotel situated just metres from the train station and 5 minutes from the city centre. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The breakfast was fabulous and the staff were very friendly.

A group of four of us had lunch at The George recently. We were due at a funeral and had left plenty of time for our meal. We were early and there were very few others in the restaurant. The service was very slow, the member of staff who served us was delightful but needed more training. The food was acceptable but somewhat rough and rady (My chicken pie arrived as a slice dumped on top of chips - which were soggy). We had no time for dessert as we had waited so long for the main courses. Afterwards, there was a shaky signal for the card-reader, which made it hard to pay and then there was a frantic search for a till roll, which was located after much searching in cupboards. To top it all, there was no loo papers in the gents!!!!

Third visit to this hotel and poor service every time. Waited at bar for ages and was ignored by the barmaid with long black hair on many occasions. Three strikes and out! Won’t be going back.

Went for roast today glad I booked as it was busy the the food was cooked just right and served hot, we were served as soon as we got to our table

Really great roast and well priced. Lovely tender beef with a great array of veggies. Enjoyed next to a log fire with a great pint of Harvey’s Sussex Best. Perfect!

Called in for breakfast and liked the interior decor and friendly staff Breakfast was tasty (although had run out of salmon so ordering needs looking at) my beans on toast were tasty but a bit disappointing as really small helping 1slice of bread and a little beans over the top Given how easy and cheap beans are really thought helping was mean But other than this found place calm and easy to relax in

I recently celebrated a big birthday here & what an excellent venue it proved to be! Chris, Leisha & their team ensured that the whole evening was a total success with their friendly & welcoming customer service & attention to detail. Their chef provided a lovely finger buffet for guests ...the sausage rolls proving particularly popular! Several guests stayed the night in the quaint bedrooms above the pub & made a point of telling me how comfortable the beds were! I couldn’t have wished for a better place to have celebrated my birthday. Thank you all so much for making it so fantastic!

Hadn’t been to the George for a while and called in for a last minute dinner. From the moment we walked in it was clear they had changed and thought the changes through carefully. Warm welcome and busy on a cold Thursday night, but not too much. Good menu with at least two veggie options, great service and food was delicious. Home made meat pie particularly. This is how to do it. Well done team - this place will become a favourite.

Party of 14 ate at The George on Christmas Eve and everyone commented on how amazing their food was. All staff were friendly, professional and very accommodating. This is the first time I have eaten in The George since it has changed hands but will definitely visit again. By far the best food locally.

The George has 2 new chefs and boy does it show! I have been for a roast 2 Sunday’s in a row and both times have been sublime, without doubt the best roast I have had in a very long time.

Three of us had an excellent family meal at the George last night. All three courses were delicious, the merlot comes highly recommended and they even gave our dog who came with is some treats. We are definitely going back !

A weird experience as it does not seem to have an isentity. The staff are not very friendly and the atmosphere is very stuffy.

We booked four rooms for a family reunion in the evening and from the moment we arrived we were very pleasantly surprised. A friendly welcome and clean, very comfortable and quiet rooms. The staff managed our table of 11 with humour and efficiency and we all had a wonderful evening. The food and atmosphere was great. The same with breakfast - all delicious and freshly cooked for our large table. All in all a really great stay. Very well done and thank you!

The new management are making improvements to everything from central heating to menus.

Just had a two night stay in the hotel's twin room. Shocked at how appalling this place is. Laminate flooring dirty, warped and not actually fitted together properly. Wardrobes with grout from ripped off tiles at the back which touch you clothing. Shabby furniture from a 1970s office. No headboard behind the single beds, just 'white' walls with plenty of dubious marks. Curtains are very thin. Shower room with no window, cheap thin shower curtain which isn't even wide enough for the gap and an oversink light which doesn't work. The whole room has a smell of mildew combined with urine. For £90 a night, I expect a decent standard, not that of a youth hostel.

Hands up to Ian the new chef at The George for turning around a less than adequate first attempt at dinner last night where we nearly left into the best fillet steak and salad I have ever tasted and I am a massive foodie,

Stayed here with family for a family wedding for two nights, nice evening meal.

Visit The George for a meal following a family funeral. Terrible service. Food took ages...starters very average. All main courses were either cold, overcooked or undercooked, so subsequently all returned. Manager didn't really know how to deal with it satisfactorily, so we paid for what we had and left. Such a shame... could be a great place.

Went here on a Tuesday evening after a bit of a long day, for a nice hearty meal. Waiter at first was super organised and quick. Starter (chicken liver parfait) was so tiny, then waited 30min for a plate to be cleared before asking ourselves for it to be taken away (maybe 5 other tables in total). Following that, we waited further half an hour + for our mains, having checked on them 3 times, as well as telling the new waitress - as soon as we received the starter - they should send the mains out without waiting until we’ve finished. Steak was well done in stead of med, not worth £28, especially when arriving with the wrong sides too

Lovely meal at The George on a cold Monday night. We felt very welcome even and the service and food were excellent. Menu had plenty of variety and choice and we all enjoyed each dish. Would recommend for a group of friends to have a relaxed evening.

.... type of place you can sit and relax in front of the fire on a rainy, cold day - which we did!

Food very poor. Red snapper very overcooked and hard to eat.

This is a very old coaching inn complete with beams and open roaring fire. Staff attentive, no loud music or harsh lighting, nice and peaceful, good ambience. Food was excellent, had the seabass, nicely cooked. Rice pud was a bit solid but rest of food was fine. We had a party of six but it would be suited to couples too. Will go back there when visiting family in the area, as rare to find somewhere peaceful with above average food.

We visited The George for lunch, with a party of 9. We did not choose the venue, and having read some of the unfavourable reviews of this restaurant, we were a bit apprehensive. However the meal was excellent; the food was served attractively, and more importantly, piping hot, and the service was friendly and sufficiently fast without rushing us. A good experience.

Just had a very nice meal at The George Hotel. Service was good, cosy surroundings. Food cooked perfectly, lovely flavours. Definitely recommend.

I stated in the hotel on my own for 3 nights and found it very comfortable. I felt fine even though I as on my own. The staff were lovely, the Sunday lunch was one of the best I have ever tasted.

We have visited this pub / restaurant as a treat on many occasions, but no longer. Beer is not as cheap as they have unfairly claimed in responses to previous reviews... it's the same and (much) cheaper just a few doors along, and great atmosphere.

Popped in as hadnt visited for a couple of years. Intended to eat but menu was limited and so ordered 2 drinks a double jack daniels and coķe from tap and a double gin and tonic this came to £20.20 which shocked me as i had not paid so much in any other pub recently. Moved on to pub at other end of high street where for exactly the same drinks i was charged £14.45. No wonder this place was empty

We visited this restaurant twice during our break in Henfield. The first time being a Tuesday evening when we were served by the only member of staff working, a very pleasant young lady who was welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent and we decided to return on Friday evening for a last meal out of our holiday.

Restaurant was completely empty. Not a good move but we were tired and decided to give it a go anyway. Shan't go again. Meat very second rate. Vegetables microwaved, deep fried. Roast potatoes tough. But.......credit where it's due.... the cauliflower cheese and the gravy were to die for. Decided not to try the puddings.

Five of us went out for a celebratory Thai meal and it was absolutely wonderful. Admittedly a rather limited menu but the slow cooked pork with noodles and spinach was first rate. All freshly cooked to order and nobody rushing you out of the door, Please give it a try and I am sure you won't be disappointed.

We were dissapointed to find the set menu of one two or three courses, advertised on Billboard outside, covering Monday to Saturday was not available on a Friday night. We were told the signwriter was too busy to change it. We decided to stay and enjoy the new menu offered, but unfortunately the cherry tomatoes and rocket leaves did not arrive with our main meal as described on the menu. After waiting at the bar to query, the salad eventually arrived as we were finishing our meal. My husband waited for sometime at the bar to settle the bill. I left to wait outside and was confronted by two members of staff who I believe suspected we were leaving without paying. A series of unfortunate events!

Had a great Sunday lunch at the George with my cousin. He had Mediterranean soup the roast beef and the chocolate sponge and I had the tomato and mozzarella stuffed mushroom followed by lamb shank both mains came with a good mix of vegetables I finished with the lemon tartlet with mango sorbet. We both agreed it was all very tasty and good value.

Four of us returned to try the Wednesday evening Thai menu and most disappointed. Everything overcooked, dry or gloopy. Thai food should be freshly cooked, but sadly not in this case. Service great, location great, just get the food great please and we will return.!

A group of fifteen visited on New Year's Eve and had a brilliant evening. The Thai food was excellent, very tasty, and the idea of serving the starters in individual boxes was novel and actually kept the food warm. The staff were very attentive and friendly, so we couldn't find any fault with the restaurant.

We are long term Henfield residents and have used the George over the years. However, in the last 6 months this place has changed dramatically for the better. the Hungarian proprietors know how to cook really well. My favourite is the sole, always perfect and left on the bone. The wine selection is excellent and when recently we had a dud bottle it was changed without question. Highly recommended.

Returned for dinner recently and so much improved. Delicious food, excellent service. Still not over full but no doubt locals and visitors alike will find this renewed gem.

With my folks living within a few miles of Henfield we always met at The George but a couple of years ago it changed and not for the better. The menu, staff and overall feel was dated so it was with some trepidation I booked my birthday lunch here today. Well... OMG it's back and I only wish I'd been told sooner... beautiful interior, classy and calm. A rounded menu to suit meat an non meat eaters, wonderful front of house service. My most positive comments are reserved for the quality of the food and the generous portions. It's obvious this chef loves to feed people (and believe me I've met a few who are clearly in the wrong job!) but the roast dinner is first rate, beef was full of flavour and soft like butter, plenty of veggies and when they say roasting gravy they mean a rich, deep, dark meaty glistening gravy...we got another jug just to be sure.. my husband had an authentic Hungarian Goulash which again was unctuous and sticky with paprika and spices it was a delight. It's now back to being our go to Sunday Lunch.. apparently they do starter and dessert but goodness knows where you'd put it.. splendid

Spent a few days staying here and had both lunch and dinner. The chef is impressive. First rate cooking and presentation. Great value.

I required an afternoon function for up to 40 people. Well what can I say the organisation was spot on, the food excellent an pleantyfull. I could not have been happier, the staff were at tentative in just the right quota, there if we needed something but not intrusive. Thank you, I love the atmosphere, the friendliness and the great food (good prices too) thanks again, Michx

The George Hotel, has a beautiful interior with fire place which gives it that warm country pub feeling. The last time I was there the food was delicious, the service was prompt and friendly. A delightful, place to stay and eat if you want to take a break from the City. Great walks in the area or mountainbiking.

Try it! It's the best! Food, service, choose, experience all fantastic, prices reasonable for the pure quality of the menu!

Lovely pub in the heart of the village in Henfield. Always very welcoming and staff very friendly. Food is always very good and of a high standard. Love the atmosphere in the pub, very chilled and relaxing, usually have nice background music. Shame for the pub as it's never very busy, but I like that as easy to find table and you can hear yourself think.

Very quiet for a Friday evening. In fact we were the only table of 4 in the pub! However the food was delicious. Friendly staff, who made us very welcome. Highly recommend.

Dined at 20.00, group of four. Beautifully presented dishes, well cooked, imaginative combinations. Surprised it was so quiet on a Friday night seems to make it a hidden gem.

A fabulous evening, Jacqui,Sarah and the staff gave us an excellent evening and the food was really good. No hesitation in giving it 5 stars and will definitely be back soon. Malcolm and Sasha

Went to the George Hotel for Sunday lunch and was impressed with the recent changes to the decor - the beer was good too and the roast beef excellent! Will definitely be going back - recommended

... but has all the ingredients to be! Attractive bar and restaurant, friendly and efficient staff (just one nice lady dealing with everything, with a smile and no hassle). Food no more than average but tasty enough. Cannot understand why it is not more popular. There has been talk locally of a new owner in the near future, and this might make the necessary difference to make George as gorgeous as it deserves. Watch this space!

Today's dining experience can be described as nothing less than a shambles. Waiting staff were visibly embarrassed not only by the sub standard quality of food and the consistent mix-ups between orders but more so the fact that diners were waiting up to an hour for their starters and a further 50 minutes plus for their main meals - all with no explanation.

popped into the George last sunday for a roast with my husband, was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with new young staff brimming with smiles. Were taken to our reserved table in the cosy Tudor end of the George and given menus and drinks order was taken very promptly. The last time we went in it was marginally quieter than it was last sunday which made us feel even more at home. even with the extra staff our order was taken quickly and food arrived with a beautiful aroma. we both had the roast pork which I must say was superb! best gravy i've had in years. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a high end aray of value for money priced foods. Would love to personally thank the two waitresses Emily and Simone for their warm welcome and great service and I definitely will be going back!

My partner chose to go back here again, for have a meal for his birthday on Friday.

Headed out last Sunday in search of a good pub lunch of a cold day. Most places were rammed full, but came upon The George in Henfield which was next to empty. To say the meal was a disappointment was an understatement. I had the roast pork, which when it arrived was clearly not "roast" at all, it had been carved from a cold joint of pork, with gravy poured over it to heat it up. The roast potatoes were rubbery as they'd been sitting in a warming tray for a couple of hours and the vegetables were overcooked and soggy. The roast turkey was the same set up, and the lamb shanks simply tasted odd. So disappointing as its a nice cosy pub, with open fire and wood paneling, but clearly the menu to far to ambitious for the kitchen and they should cut it in half and not do roasts if they don't have the foot fall to do them properly.

I work in Henfield and often nip in here for lunch or the odd pint after work.

My partner and I ate here last Saturday. This was probably one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. So tasty and tender. It didn't need a steak knife to cut it as it was so tender. I had mackerel pate to start. Again very very tasty. My partner had Camembert to start which was lovely and fish, chips and mushy peas. He said it was great.

we were promised great food on the web site but the staff were uncertain each day whether the cook would be there or food available
