The Horse Inn Hurst in Mid Sussex

Friendly accommodating staff but poor food on this visit, had Sunday lunch there early afternoon today, roast beef etc... food was obviously cooked much earlier and reheated, hard leathery potatoes, rubber Yorkshire pudding, beef seemed to be boiled instead of roasted, veg. undercooked and all served up lukewarm. shame as the decor, staff and location are great.

We were staying one night, to see my sister in Henfield. Breakfast and evening meal great and good value, lovely friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are well and recently fitted, good shower, coffee machine etc. We were in a small room in the old building and might go for a larger one next time, but there definitely will be a next time. Charming setting, parking restricted, but on street available close by. A sweet very old building.

My family and I went here for a Sunday roast. We had been here before in the past and the food had been amazing. The food this time round was awful, priced at £21.00 for a roast dinner ,was much higher then what we had paid in the past. The roast beef was under cooked and so blue, 2 roast potatoes not even crispy, pig in blanket was a large sausage cut into a quarter, I think a sausage had been shared between the 3 of us. One parsnips, one carrot, a pile of red stuff which tasted of water, cauliflower cheese didn't taste nice, a small square of sage & onion stuffing, cheesy leaks again didn't taste very nice and a yorkshire pud that was so big I had to keep moving it around the plate, it was very dry to taste. All the food was tapid and not hot at all. Then came the pud, toffee pud with butterscotch sauce, it came with a strawberry and ice cream, nice touch if you like strawberries. We wasn't advised or even asked if anyone of us had allergies as the toffee sponge had walnuts in it. I'm used to having dates in a toffee sponge but not walnuts. Lucky none of us have a nut allergy but making customers aware of this is a given. Then it came to paying £104.00 for 3 roast dinners, 2 toffee sponge puds and a bowl of ice cream and 3 soft drinks, a little expensive. Would we go back absolutely not. Over priced and tastless food.

Great stay at the Horse Inn Hurst We loved the unusual decor and lamps.

Slept solidly through til 8.30 - so a bit of a shock as we were meant to be down for breakfast at that time! Second time we stayed and enjoyed it and very handy.

Really delicious and good quality full English breakfast.

Super cozy pub with friendly staff (special nods to Hannah and Maddie), good food and a lovely Sunday Roast at a very reasonable price (a mere £4 more than I paid for good, but not great, haddock and chips in Guildford the night before). Friendly vibe, board games, dog-friendly inside and out…all of which made my wife and I happy to call the Horse our local while we stayed up the road for a couple of weeks. We might even drive back just for the Sunday Roast!

Very poor quality food at premium prices. They attempt to disguise the lack of quality by piling the plates up. We had one of each roast and all were very poor, uncooked (not just undercooked) meat and hard vegetables. Lacking in flavour. One of the children had mac and cheese, which was provided with a cooked-in fly. Staff handled the situation poorly when challenged. There’s plenty of good options locally, this isn’t one of them.

Had a roast here for a birthday. One of the kids ordered food and a fly came baked into it. Had to get this replaced. Others had the roast and they went for quantity not quality. Everything was undercooked including the beef which was beyond pink it was purple. At the end they tried to make us pay full price. After saying again they offered to take the Mac and cheese off but that was it and the guy smiled and said sorry about this. We then had to get another member of staff who eventually gave 20% off the roasts. The male staff member was very rude and threatened to call the police although we were not dinning and dashing we simply did not want to pay £21 a roast that was awful and a baked fly. All in all. Just don’t bother

Always enjoy a visit to The Horse, with friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere

An amazing village pub. The staff and locals are very warm, friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding, reasonably priced and comes from a varied menu and the service is second to none. Something for everyone. Hurst is a beautiful little Sussex village and this pub is an absolute must if you’re visiting.

Had a lovely meal today. Staff were lovely. Highly recommend the menu, our third visit. Tim @ chirpee flowers

Went to the Horse Inn for a Sunday roast with friends. One of the roasts came out as the wrong order and then when it was changed it was missing items that were listed on the menu. One meal was the roast beef, it was basically a slab of fat which was horrible. We had asked if we could change some of the items and the lady acted as though we had kicked her dog. When I had said they had give me the wrong meal the lady huffed and rolled her eyes. Such a shame because we ate here on a Saturday night a few weeks prior and the staff were friendly and the food was pretty good. Shame the Roast Dinner was shoddy, over priced and staff with serious attitude problems. We wouldn't return now, which is a shame as it's our local.

Well organised and lovely rooms. I can definitely recommend the ribs and full English breakfast.

Stayed here over the wknd. It is a lovely pub rooms were very nice and food was delicious. I thought the staff we seen were all very friendly and especially the lady who served us on Friday evening with blonde curly hair she was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Compliments to the chefs also for all the food we were served everything was lovely.Parking is limited but between the 4 of us and we came in 2 cars we found a quiet road to park on very near and cars were fine.

Very friendly and welcoming. Felt more like a holiday than a business trip. Good outstanding. Very happy indeed. Would stay again for sure.

Stayed for one night, room very clean and welcoming. The staff really friendly, very helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Would recommend staying here, very reasonable price.

Fantastic food, literally everything in the menu was brilliant. We went as a group of 4 and all had different meals and everything looked fantastic and tasted brilliant. Hannah was very attentive and Tim the owner recommended ribs which did not disappoint, throughly recommend! If I had to be super critical I would say the gents toilets a little entertaining to find , ended up in a cupboard big overall experience was fantastic .

10000 stars if possible , love the meal ….I defo like this pub now.

Sunday roast is excellent. Good quantity and quality food. Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday roast

Lovely atmosphere and the most delicious Sunday roast with all the trimmings.
