The Potions We Brew in Horsham

We had the best Francezinha we’ve had in a while and will be going back to Tasca’s regularly from now on!

This is definitely a go-to place if you are in Horsham. The menu has a Scandinavian flavour, and my apple cake was deliciously flavoured with cinnamon. The scandi breakfast would be very tempting for those with big appetites. But be warned; it gets busy and is often closed in school holidays.

The friendliest staff. Tasty wrap and arrancini. Can’t wait to make it a regular visit!

Excellent, customer service second to none

We had a wonderful stay last weekend; we arrived to be greeted with a warm welcome from the reception staff, our room was beautiful and had everything we needed. Dinner was delicious, a 5-course tasting menu and you can choose from a choice of 3 items for each course. The wine list is extensive and it's all on a tablet where you can select and compare a shortlist before choosing. Breakfast was equally fabulous, a huge choice made to order, and the cooked breakfast was lovely and hot (not always the case). The birds at the castle are a little noisy at sunset/sunrise - if you are sensitive to noise or want to sleep late, bring your earplugs. We weren't bothered by it though. Another review mentioned that the rooms are not sound proofed: it's a 12th century castle, and you can hear things like you would in any hotel. It wasn't a problem at all for us. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well. Amberley village is lovely for a short walk - they have the Black Horse pub which is fantastic for a drink before dinner, and the food is great there if you're not eating in the hotel. Arundel Castle and town is nearby and also worth a visit even when the castle is closed. Several independent shops and cafes, and you can walk along the River Arun too. We will definitely return to the hotel!
