The Top House in Mid Sussex

Always get served with a smile:) the food is fab and good value and we can bring ours 2 frenchies there.all around happy👍👍👍

Lovely pub, perfect for families. Staff are great and super helpful. Didn’t find that they had a huge range of non-alcoholic beer options. Would love to see some non-alcoholic craft beers in future.

Really lovely family friendly pub.the staff can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend for family events or just drinks with friends

Upon entering this pub with my family including one child, we were "greeted" by a customer swearing at the staff. This was early evening! Found a table and had a basic meal of soup, hamburger and a dessert. Nothing special, but the interior of this pub is aged and needs updating

Popped in on August Bank Holiday Monday lunchtime, not too busy, we weren't told there would be a wait but an hour passed before we got our food which when it came along was incorrect and the cauliflower nuggets were burnt and bitter and if it wasn't for the BBQ sauce they would have been inedible. £3.29 for a "cheesy garlic ciabatta" (ordered plain) which was actually just two slices of a supermarket garlic baguette with cheese on. 2 small sausage rolls for £6.29 is abysmal value (they were nice though) Small plates are becoming the norm for places to rip customers off. A young daughter of a staff member kept running in and out of the kitchen and we could see staff drinking lager through the window of kitchen door. Seems like health and safety are equally low down the list of priorities. It's dog friendly but our normally placid dog started to get irritable after such a long wait so would advise not to take dogs in TBH. Anyone passing through Burgess Hill as we did would do well to swerve it.

Was at the top house with our family and Ben was lovely. Gave my step mum some water as she had a few too many haha! Lovely service by all will deffo be back xx

Had lunch here 14 may 2024. Had an awful meal.of lasagne. Put a message on trip advisor. Had a reply from the owner apologising and a promise of email me a voucher for free meal..I sent my email address twice and still not received my voucher!!! Does he just say this to look good and then not carry out his promise Still waiting.

8 of us went for Sunday lunch. The service was awful, very slow. The 'restaurant' was incredibly noisy, the background music - unfortunately wasn't. Our orders weren't correct. The few staff rushed off their feet. The food was mediocre. It took ages to sort out the bill as that was also wrong. I wouldn't recommend the pub. In reality, its a sports bar attempting to sell food

Myself & my Husband spent the evening in here for a friend's birthday celebrations & we had a fabulous evening. I spent many weekends in this pub in my early twenties & have many great memories. Being back in The Top House tonight bought all those good memories flooding back as it was a great atmosphere & lovely, friendly staff. We will definitely be spending more time there in the future 👍

Great pub with a brilliant atmosphere. Live music with great staff, such a brilliant night... highly recommended to all

What an amazing place, the management and staff are amazingly friendly, Will and Hikari have really made it feel like a home away from home. Food and atmosphere is great. Sunday roasts are best in burgess hill and in fact any of the food beats any other establishments in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and surrounding areas. A absolute must visit, you will not be disappointed. They are dog friendly which is great as a ending point from a long walk, what’s better then great pub to eat some great food and sink some beers after a long walk, thank you and we’ll all see you soon

Delicious dinner and catch up with a friend. Busy Friday night but the staff were simply amazing despite it being packed! Will definitely be going again. 5 stars!

We have just had dinner at The Top house and I just wanted to leave a review as we were so well treated. We were a big group with kids and the staff were lovely, attentive and so patient with the kids too. The food was delicious and good value. The pub is so well decorated and clean, giving a lovely atmosphere. We were in a big table in a private area and we couldn't be more comfortable. We will be coming back for sure.

Since the make over and change in landlord’s the Top House has been amazing. Great food and atttentive staff has Mede the experience even better. Would highly recommend. Well done Will and Hikaru and the team. Keep up the good work!

The new pub is well worth a visit. The refurb has been excellent both inside and outside. The new owners a very friendly and doing all the right things to create new pub with a great atmosphere. It will definitely become our local. The family are looking forward to trying the new menu when we get a chance.

Booked a table for 9 the Friday before Christmas at 6pm , arrived to find no record of the booking and the kitchen was closed ! Can’t comment on the food!

I recently visited the Top House in Burgess Hill and I must say, it's a whole new experience under the new ownership. The pub has a fresh and inviting look, and the new landlords are absolutely lovely and welcoming. It's great to have a family-oriented pub in town that is so warm and friendly. I highly encourage everyone to visit and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere.

Came here after leaving a pub not that far away from here they served us burnt bland food so we tried here! The food was amazing the staff so friendly will be returning

What an amazing night Christmas Eve was! Although they were clearly understaffed and struggling, all the staff were helpful, friendly and served us with a smile! The DJ was fab and the landlord Tom came up and greeted us with a warm welcome. I highly recommend this place with a vibrant atmosphere and all staff were delightful!!

Food was average, the place was very cold which meant that most people kept their coats on so not what I call a warm friendly place. Perhaps if it had been warmer perhaps with the fire lit we may have stayed longer. Also the food wasn’t hot.

Went to Top house because of reviews for Sunday lunch . Totally underwhelmed by the food massive potentially to be good but didn't deliver. Menu looked great but food was under skilled and cared for.. The chicken looked like it had sat all day shrivelling waiting to be eaten and the beef just tasted old both only one slice of each.. both meals cold Including the plates. We did complained but with no acknowledgement. Never eat there again wish it was better.

I’ve just enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch at the Top House (Burgess Hill Inn). The menu was limited to Sunday roasts but in fairness that’s what my family like to eat on a Sunday! I had the beef which was served perfectly and cooked exactly how I like it! The gravy and the trimmings were fantastic. We didn’t need to wait long for our table and the food was served promptly. All in all I was very impressed and would certainly return! Thank you Colin Etherington

Called up to book for my family of 4 and was greeted on the phone by Tom the landlord who couldnt of been friendlier if he tried. He was really helpful. The food itself was faultless. My partner loves a roast and enjoys The Ginger Fox and Glasshouse at Wickwoods but this roast topped it and alot cheaper too. Great customer service and will be returning

Have not been to Top House at Burgess Hill West Sussex for a while, it was a pleasant surprise to find it was under new management.Completely revamped the pub with a great new menu, had a fantastic Sunday Roast, was greeted by the pub landlord and looked after by his daughter.Definitely coming back to this family run pub again.

Wow, what a surprise, I haven't eaten at this place for a longtime as heard it was rubbish, but now under new management. who is a very nice friendly man called Tom. 4 Sunday roast were ordered and 4 nice looking Sunday roast came out, and all very nice, we all enjoyed them very much. Well done.Go and enjoy.And all in a safe invirement, track and trace and plenty of space.

Shoutout to Tom for being so lovely!! Amazing good so much fun lovely!! Will definitely come again just to see Tom

I was greeted on my phone call to book my table by a really friendly bloke called Tom. From there, the entire experience was first class. The bar and table service team were so friendly and helpful, the beer was through clean lines and cold and, most importantly, the food was brilliant.I recommend pub this to anyone who anyone who appreciates great food and service.

We have just visited the Top House for Sunday Lunch and were greeted by friendly staff. All four of us chose different meats and they were all delicious and the vegetarian option was scrummy. Well worth a second visit.

Went here for our usual Christmas Eve tradition and was so disappointed. The whole place actually smelt of urine and by the time we left at about 6pm three of the ladies toilets were out of order because they were blocked. Completely unacceptable. This pub used to be a great place to go, it is such a shame

came for dinner on sat 12th oct 2019 ...although the bar staff were friendly we were all very disappointed with the food. I had a platter which was chucked on a big white plate chicken undercooked ribs tough as old boots a fish cake which looked like it was from a local chippy in the 60's. nachos cold. and the burgers were not much better either. if this is the best burgess hill has to offer I wont return In hurry.

... still full of of the kind of afternoon clientele (at the end of the bar towards the Snug) whose every second word is 'fack'. Which is never nice to hear. Tho seems to be a Burgess Hill thing, the Railway down the road is exactly the same. Despite the improvements in decor (loving the framed Albion shirts!) the place smells musty. And we really shouldn't have to be trying to enjoy a drink while continually having to swat away a number of persistent small flies. Drove us away in the end. Don't suppose the pub can do much about the afternoon clientele, but they can invest in some fly spray before opening time surely?

We had a Friday lunch at the Burgess Hill Inn. It is a large pub with a number of different dining areas. There is a fairly typical pub menu with a range of lunch specials including a number of vegetarian options.We had the fish and chips and the vegetarian burger - both well cooked and very acceptable with good chips. Not huge portions but pretty good value at £6.99.Service was friendly and efficient

What a shame, having enjoyed s delicious Sunday Roast here before I was totally shocked today. It looks like it’s changed hands since our previous visit. The Sunday roast is now a carvery rather than the amazing roasts before. The staff now are rude beyond rudeness. I expressed my concern with the cold meat and vegetables and was dismissed abruptly. I don’t know what has happened with this place and I sincerely hope the previous staff have found homes with venues that appreciate their value. Never again, I asked for the Manager and I was presented with a very rude gentleman. I don’t know where they are going but it’s downhill. Do not visit this establishment:

Great Quality and Great Price. We don’t tend to go out for roast lunch unless it’s at the Oak Barn as the roast is usually overpriced for the quality of the food that is presented and then the realisation while we are chewing through a tough dry plate of food is that we could do better at home and why do we bother trying to find a good roast out? So for many years we usually cook our own roasts on a Sunday. Haven’t been to the BH Inn for a long time as always busy. We have a week off so as I had heard some good things about their Sunday roast we thought we would go see. We had a table booked for 1:00pm. They were offering a carvery of beef, pork (and excellent crackling) and turkey on display under heat lamps. The usual vegetables of cabbage, carrots, french beans were kept tucked away underneath keeping warm. But not dried out. When we handed the ticket over to the chef he carved up many generous slices of tender, succulent and tasty meat. The roast potatoes were lovely along with the parsnips, mashed sweet potatoes and yorkies. Everything’s freshly prepared and the cauliflower cheese was unbelievably gorgeous. The sauces were all there even a bowl of mint sauce (apparently people like it on their veg)! We were thoroughly stuffed and will be definitely letting people know about the quality of the roast lunches. We will definitely be returning.

Warm and welcoming, popped in for a Sunday lunch was seated immediately, good service, drinks order taken then food. A really well presented and cooked Sunday roast with all the trimmings, the taste was perfect just cooked right. Lots of space and no rushing.

We visited here a few months ago, and had the ribs from the daytime menu. OMG, so tasty, and rare to find a chef that can cook them so well they fall straight off the bone! Definitely coming back for more. Thanks

The evening meal here was excellent, there were a few vegetarian options, and the service was also good, however, the bowls for breakfast were dirty and many of the plates and bowls, if not dirty were wet.A shame as I enjoyed the ambience but did report the dirty and wet crockery. Would also have liked coffee from a machine not from the jugs as they were difficult to use and the coffee was not very hot.

Great staff always a good place to go if your in the area and want a drink or food. Never had a bad experience been here many of times and my family has enjoyed it, and catch up with friends. All round good place to go

The staff were helpful and tried hard to make sure we were happy with what was provided. The food was good and there was enough of it to fill the 30 or so of us up for the birthday we came to celebrate. I was surprised at the price being so low but don't tell them that as we may want to go back.

Get the bad bit out of the way first, on the three occasions in one week I came here to arrange today's lunch for ten, there was a strong whiff of disinfectant around the bar which will turn some people away immediately. However, the beer is good and the bar is a good size. The staff are friendly and welcoming and there are enough of them. The pub is clean and light and there is plenty of seating and a feeling of space in what is a pretty large floor area.

Had a very enjoyable lunch today at The Burgess Hill Inn. Food was very good and service was swift. Didn’t have a drink but there looks to be a good selection there also.

We just went into this pub for lunch after reading good reviews - after being ignored at the bar by the same member of staff 3 times we left. The place looked almost empty so not as if they were busy

A very nice reasonably priced lunch 2 courses with a bottle of wine £44.20 for 2 people. A lovely pub with delightful staff. They have Fizz Fridays where Prosseco is £14.95 a bottle all day! There is also wine Wednesday where certain wines are only £10.00 a bottle all day! Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Really enjoyed the food here. Have been here few times for a work doo or dinner with friends and even when there was 30 of us all food came perfectly cooked and at the same time. Staff was always helpfull and friendly.

This pub has really gone downhill recently.... The pub is trying to make out its something it really isn't...

We decided to have our ex works retirement reunion here again as our first reunion here was a great success. Once again we booked the snug and food. The room is ideal for a small gathering as it is tucked just of the main bar. The food was excellent and this time we had hot food to nibble at. There were chunky chips, fries, sausage rolls, sticky wings, coated chicken, chicken skewers, sauces and dips and all washed down with as much coffee or tea as you wanted. The staff were excellent very accommodating, friendly, polite and attentive. There is plenty of parking, just register you number plate at the bar, or for those that are drinking the inn is only just across the road from the station. After yet again another successful reunion here we will definitely be back for our third reunion.

Just eaten here, food was excellent but my what wait!

Met up with friends for lunch on a snowy day. We were made very welcome and had a lovely three course meal from their seniors menu. The service was prompt and friendly, the food hot and the price very reasonable. I would certainly go here again.

Second time to visit here in recent weeks. Pleasantly surprised to find its undergone a bit of a revamp. Looks great and very comfortable. Pub now looks to be able to cater for all. Pool table and sports area down the end, good drinks range and the food was again excellent. I noticed an extensive gin menu so I will definitely be returning with the missus to give it a go! Recommended

Popped in here after I heard it got some work done recently. Really modern look and a lovely pub. Had the burger and my friend has fish and chips was excellent. Good service and nice range of Gins which is my drink! Will be back proper pub.

Decided to come to this establishment with my mother, other half and my grandfather for his 52nd birthday. To once we arrived the waitress was very kind and friendly (hence why this is a two star and not a one star) we was some of the first people in there for food, once ordered we proceeded to wait for our food to come. Some time passes and we notice that it has been at least 50 minutes since we ordered but stayed calm and waited, other people had gotten their food in the meantime but had ordered after us. Once the food had arrived I noticed that my burger has relish in there when I asked for it without, the burger tasted cheap and the meat itself was hard and wasn’t too hot. My mother enjoyed hers but said it could have been hotter, once leaving to pay we then got informed that there was a gas leak and all the other customers couldn’t eat there.

Tasty meal good service what else do you need at a good old British pub. Cheap as well so all you need at the weekend.

Following the appointment of a new Bar Manager and Chef, we thought we would give the new menu a try.

We were looking for somewhere that in December served a Sunday Roast that wasn't a set Christmas menu. On 1st December we contacted the Burgess Hill Inn (formally the Top House) who said they could accommodate 8 adults and 2 infants. They accepted our booking...

I hadn’t been to the Top House for a couple of years but was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. My daughter and I both had burgers with various sides. They were both really good. The staff were friendly. The only slight negative point was that it was a cold November day and the pub was really cold. I will defiantly be back

The smallest roast I have ever seen and expensive too, just ordered the pork and it didn't come with crackling (as advertised), three of the smallest ever roast potatoes EVER (literally one small potato cut into 3) virtually no veg and the 2 tiny slithers of pork and I asked for a Yorkshire pudding to make up for the crackling and the bloke actually said I can but I will have to charge you for it, I have NEVER seen such penny pinching, having spend well over £100 between us you can bank that as the last ever visit we make

Had a really lovely 3 course meal, the food was really nice and staff very friendly. Would highly recommend

I won a Sunday roast & a bottle of wine for two people so me & my friend went yesterday with her two children, we had a starter, roast & a pudding & it was one of the best roasts I've ever had! The starter & pudding was lovely too. We sat outside whilst my friends children played on the slide & they loved it! They have heaters outside too for when it's cold so you can sit & watch the children & still eat & be warm! It's a lovely pub, staff are very friendly & the food is gorgeous! I have already recommended this pub to friends & I will defiantly be returning to try out all the other dishes! Thankyou very much!

Dropped into the Burgess Hill Inn having not been here for a while.

My husband and I visited here on a Tuesday evening at 7.30 and we were the only diners which was not a good sign but as we do not know the area we decided to give it a chance. The young barman/waiter was friendly and we were served promptly. The menu is very basic pub grub with very limited choice so we both opted for the haddock and chips with a side order of onion rings. I ordered a glass of Shiraz which was very good my husband had fosters. The food came quickly as was to be expected as it was so quiet. Unfortunately my fish was horrible it was clearly not fresh and had a taste of bleach and the batter tasted strongly of oil. The chips were fries and were okay but not home made. The onion rings were stodgy and served with an unpleasant sweet chilli dip. My husband's fish was not as bad as mine but he said it was tasteless and we both had doubts that it was actually haddock. The meal came to £33 so not expensive but we will not be returning which is a shame as the pub is lovely.

Only popped in for a quick beer before a curry. Nice surroundings. Sat in the beer garden. Could do with some minor repairs as switch for garden heater hanging off wall. Glass table tops needed a wipe over. Bar staff were quick and polite but the pub was quiet so maybe could have gone around doing a wipe over of tables.

I had to book a table for a group of 5 who were driving an hour-long journey to get here (and on a wet night). I was a bit apprehensive as the pub was a new venue for me. However, from the time I went in to make the booking on the day prior to the time we left we received very good service with a smile from all three staff members we encountered. All our group ordered steaks apart from one haloumi salad. The steaks were requested 'rare / medium rare x2 and one well done' - all said they were, 'delicious' as was the haloumi salad and very good portion sizes. We would all happily go there again. Only one tiny gripe - only two out of the 5 desserts were available (not that we actually needed dessert!), and no chocolates or biscotti to go with the coffee. Please consider having that as an option - our group of ladies love chocolates with our coffee!

I was very disappointed having booked the Burgess Hill Inn for Sunday Lunch after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. The Pub,atmosphere and food very average. The choice of roasts were beef or chicken, the chicken was a breast in gravy & there was no vegetarian alternative.On the positive side we could not fault the staff, who were very friendly &a attentive.

Best Yorkshire pudding I've had in a very long time! We visited on Sunday to celebrate my partners birthday. The atmosphere was perfect. We wanted a relaxed Sunday, and that's exactly what we got. We were lucky enough to get an outside table, so we sat in the garden while my two children played in the kids area. Service was friendly and prompt. Lovely family pub. Would definitely recommend to others.

I came up the other night. and was shocked on how busy for a Wednesday it was, but me and my friends was happy to be celebrating my friends 21st birthday. We had amazing staff members even though I went to only 1 staff member. The others was all hard at work running food all of that. It came to my attention that my diet coke had gone flat and didn't taste right so I spoke to the very nice young lad on the bar if the diet coke had gone flat and he offered to get me a new drink after changing the coke. He was polite and made my evening besides celebrating my friends 21st of course. We also ordered some cheesey chips what in my opinion was to die for they was so good so hands off to the chef and the waiter was so nice and did make us laugh when bringing them out. We will definitely be coming back here for some more drinks very soon.

Before going our for lunch with a friend we did our research and looked at menu's online before hand. the menu for the Burgess Hill in had several items that took our fancy. Once we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly lad at the bar and ordered our drinks. We sat down to browse the menu and discovered that is was different from the one we had seen online earlier that day. never the less we decided to stay and ordered a chicken burger for me and a minuet stake for my friend. We were the only people in the pub and the food took 35 mins to arrive. The food was OK, nothing special. The fries were overcooked, greasy and limp and they came pre salted with quite a lot of salt. This was a shame as I don't add salt to my food. I wouldn't go back for food but I might go back fro drinks as the bar staff was so friendly.

I have been here a few times with friends for drinks and had absolutely no issues before. Pleasant atmosphere, great heated garden area for drinks and I have heard the food is great for the price etc. Unfortunately I recently had a rather unpleasant experience with a member of staff at the Inn. Upon arrival I was asked for ID, which is no bother as I am 22 but can happily agree that I look young. However, upon my second time to the bar I was met by a member of staff, who told me his name was curtis, he asked to see my ID again, which I happily obliged. He looked at it for an incredibly long time and his manner was probably the rudest I have ever come across in any pub or restaurant before. I also work at a pub locally and enquired as to whether the kronenberg was always as flat as it seemed to me that evening, he assured me (in an incredibly patronising, eye rolling manner) that that was how THEY served it THERE and that we must be overdoing it. Upon last orders, which was at a perfectly reasonable time we were asked to leave 5 minutes after ordering our final drinks. As someone who also works in a pub I do understand that people have homes to get back to and want to finish quickly but this was slightly ridiculous. I think this is a real shame as the pub was perfectly fine other than this incident. My friend who I was visiting with also commented on his manner and we were both quite shocked that management had allowed someone on the bar with such appalling personal and customer service skills.

Arrived at the Burgess Hill Inn for a family meal and drinks. We were shown to our table by a very charming waiter who then took our order. We were one of three full tables that evening sitting in the restaurant area. The menu looked delicious so we promptly ordered sausages and mash, haddock and chips and a walnut and halloumi salad. Firstly the order came out wrong. To our amusement, instead of a salad the chef had mixed up the order and I was handed a burger. The waiter was extremely apologetic and advised he would fetch my salad. Unfortunately by the time it had arrived back at the table everyone else had finished.Everyone at the table stared at my salad in disbelief. It was a bag of mixed leaves with a few slices of raw red pepper and a chopped raw mushroom. The menu stated 'grilled peppers and cider vinaigrette' however, neither of these were on my salad and to top it off the halloumi was playing hide and seek and didn't want to be found either! I then asked the waiter where the halloumi was which he looked extremely embarrassed about. He advised he would fetch it. Whilst waiting, the table opposite us had advised the waiter that one of their burgers had clearly been kept under a heat lamp for quite a while and was inedible. Now, I'm no Inspector Clouseau but I suspect this was the burger I was given earlier that evening! So my halloumi finally arrived in a dish. 3 measly pieces of cheese to add to my mountain of leaves, raw pepper and one raw mushroom. I ate the cheese and left the rest - I wish I was of the rabbit species because I would have demolished it. Another mix up on the table next to us... again, wrong food and delay in the young girl being able to eat with the rest of her family. The haddock and chips were tiny for the price. Overall a very overpriced menu for the standard the Burgess Hill Inn delivered and just to add to the disappointment my mother and partner ended up on the toilet for most of the next day. Such a shame we had a bad experience because previous reviews appear excellent. Based on our experience the chef definitely wasn't delivering what was offered on the menu and getting every table order mixed up.

As was a sunny day sat in the garden in the enclosed area with patio heaters that were a bonus when the wind picked up. We had burgers, roast beef, gammon steak (£10-11 each) & kids sausage & beans (£6) mains which were really good & served quickly. My 3 year old enjoyed running round the garden & going down the slide on the playground. Also had lemon cheesecake, choc orange torte, apple crumble (not enough crumble) (£5 each) which were good.

Just home from a 90th Birthday bash held for my Mother and felt compelled to write a review thanking Jason (the Manager) and all his staff for making it a really special day. We'd only booked the area for a couple of hours but ended up staying 4 hours. Their catering consisted of a hot buffet and everyone commented on the variety and amount served up. All in all it was a lovely experience and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend...

Five empty plates at the end of the meal - well cooked and very tasty. We'd all chosen different meals and it was all served at the same time. Attentive staff throughout.

What a great job they have done with this place since the refurbishment. We had a reunion gathering here today in a room to the side with one large table.we had pre ordered a cold/hot buffet and wow what a spread, they really did us proud. The establishment was well laid out and the staff were excellent. There is plenty of parking but you must register your cars number plate at the bar or other wise you may be fined. We all had a great time and are thinking of doing the same here again for the next gathering.

Have been to this place many, many times over the years with lots of different managers. Some good, some bad and each time it starts off well. Over the past 3 months or so, (since beginning 2017), this place has lost any atmosphere it had built up, does not seem to do much to entice custom and is a real shame as I have been a big supporter of this place. Does not seem to want to compete on price or offers that other places do, (maybe the owners or management feel they are above such things?), but it is never 'heaving' like other places. So maybe they need to re-think! Come on guys... Super location, large premises, make the effort!

Visited this pub on Mothering Sunday with daughters and grandchildren.Great sunny day so we sat outside in garden so kids could play while waiting for lunch.Kids happy so parents and grandparents happy as well.Good menu choice and food good quality.Relaxing day

Went here for Sunday roast last week. What a surprise great service, delicious roast and fantastic looking Pub. Will be back again soon.

Had a great evening with friends and the food was excellent. This placeIs so friendly Would recommend this place if you are looking for great food and a lovely atmosphere

Fantastic place now it's been re-done Great food and drink. Lovely decor and outside space Has parking too around the back and easy to get to from the station as it's across the road

I visited this place with my team for a christmas set lunch.They have a side room away from the main pub which can seat, I would guess about 12 or 14 people depending on how friendly you are!The food was well cooked and the service was very good without being overbearing. We were given plenty of time between courses to allow for relaxed chatting etc.One thing to point out is the car park. Despite lots of signs, some people did not register their cars with the staff at the bar. Apparently, they get a lot of problems with folk using the car park and going off to London or Brighton for the day. The pub is right next to the station. If you don't register your reg number on arrival, you are likely to get a parking ticket from the private company they employ or worse still you could find it has been towed away whilst you are enjoying your dinner.All in all, it was a very enjoyable lunch. Thanks.

Not a bad pub, nice selection of screens showing sport. Just wish would get some decent bitters inn. Harvey's nice but can get anywhere so some local Brewers would go down well..long man, langham, black cat, kissingate to name a few.

Incredibly efficient and professional service.Food was very good (hot plates) great taste, well presented and very reasonably priced.Our hostess was outstanding, thank you.

Called in to this lovely friendly pub for drinks before an evening meal. Excellent selection of wine and beers and lovely comfy seating. Will return in the near future for food from their extensive menu. Thank you for the warm welcome.

When visiting our relatives, we regularly dine in the Burgess Hill area but have usually been disappointed by the food choices, prices and quality on offer at the various establishments we have tried in the past, particularly for non-meat eaters such as ourselves. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we tried out the Burgess Hill Inn for the first this week.One of us had the Bubble and Squeak and the other had the Butternut Squash Risotto. Both meals were served promptly and were well presented on the plates. More importantly both meals were very tasty.We told the friendly and helpful staff that we had enjoyed our food and would return again in a few weeks time. They were pleased to hear this and advised that they would be making some changes to their menu selections over the coming weeks. We hope that those changes will not remove the Bubble and Squeak and Butternut Squash Risotto options from the menu or inflate the price of said options, (which, typical of most restaurants in the area, are already quite high for what they are - considering the cost of the ingredients involved). We shall see when we return.

We went in here on Christmas eve as our usual pub has become a little unreliable for good food. We were not disappointed. So we made this the place to meet up with friends last night....and how delicious it was. We had a lovely table round the back of the public bar area so away from the general hub bub. We had a fab girl making sure that our order was taken and made sure we were okay for drinks. The food came out all together, beautifully presented, hot and tasty. Served by friendly smiling staff. Three of us had the lamb shanks, one Burgess burger and a risotto. The menfolk then polished off two crumbles with custard. The music plays in the background at a good level without being intrusive to catchup chatting, but loud enough to enjoy. Walking back out through the front we were surprised to see how busy it was considering the little noise we had heard. We were given a friendly smile and farewell by the barman as we left too...With a thank you. We will be returning very soon for another evening meal and also to try the Tipsy afternoon tea. Take a look at their menu...The old Top House is rejuvenated and is worth some recognition. Well done team.

Visited yesterday (16th Jan) for a family meal. Staff very good, food very good. Only disappointment was there was only a choice of 2 desserts. All in all very good!!

First time visit here and very impressed. Nice warm welcome, friendly staff, and excellent food. My wife had the roast beef as well as my daughter, my son in law the gammon, and I had the burger. All incredibly tasty, would have liked the bacon on my burger to have been a little crisper, but that's my personal preference, next time I shall request that. My wife considered the roast beef to be one of the best she'd ever come across. The gammon, I'm told was incredible, and my burger was massive, tasty served with a generous portion of chips and a dish of coleslaw. Three of us had a truly delicious apple crumble, whilst the fourth had a mouthwatering chocolate torte with fresh cream. We just cannot fault any part of the service or the meals. We will definitely return.

This pub is very friendly and apart from the excellent service the food is great and cannot be beaten for value at that quality. It really is very good and to be recommended . We have been on a number of occasions now and will continue to do so .

First time to the burgess hill in and it was an amazing wonderful place to enjoy Christmas dinner. Wonderful food, Great service, friendly staff couldn't do enough to make it run smoothly and feel special ... thanks to all the guys working that day ☺️Food was amazing, no skimpy portions loved every course. I had Camembert (yummy) turkey dinner (everything cooked just right) and then creme brûlée .... will be visiting in the very near future. Thanks again for making Christmas dinner hassle free

Great family run pub with fab food lovely atmosphere and lovely garden for the kids to play in and reasonably priced

Just got home from Christmas dinner at the Burgess Hill Inn. Awesome! Stevie and the girls were great. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was superb. Absolutely loved it. Thank you for a memorable Christmas day event.

One of the party is a Celiac, so somewhere gluten free was high on the agenda. Luckily they are aware of this and prepare meals with this in mind. The food was hot and exceeded expectation. To round it off the service was professional, courteous & friendly.

Fabulous food - really good quality and presented well. Staff were lovely and attentive. Extremely good customer service. We had a table in snug which was set up beautifully- made a real effort with presentation. This is my 2nd visit to this pub for something to eat and I will be back as it was so good.

From the friendly and efficient booking process through to the delicious meal itself, I couldn't fault the Burgess Hill Inn.We were warmly welcomed and shown to our beautifully decorated table in the snug. How lovely to have an area all to ourselves! From that moment on the staff were attentive without being intrusive, each course of the meal was delivered promptly without being rushed and our drinks were refilled whenever needed.The generous portions of food were delicious, arrived hot and everyone received the correct food! I've already booked a return visit - can't wait!

Eight of us booked the Burgess Hill Inn for our team Christmas lunch in early December. The Christmas menu was varied at £24.95 for three courses, £19.95 for two courses.When we arrived we were really pleased to find the staff had prepared the "Snug" area of the pub which is a nice room off the main bar area. They had laid a Christmas table with candles crackers decorations etc, very festive!The staff could not have been nicer and brought drinks to our table when we sat down.I had the soup to start which was served with crusty toast and butter. It was delicious.Main course was traditional turkey with all the trimmings. There was plenty of it and the vegetables were nicely cooked. Everyone enjoyed their main courses. An extra jug of gravy was put on the table for anyone who wanted more.I didn't have dessert however others in our party had Black Forrest Gateaux or Lemon Meringue Pie, everyone enjoyed what they had.They have Harvey's beers as well as regular standards.I have to say that the treatment we got from the staff was brilliant and they could not have done more to make our Christmas lunch better. I would highly recommend the Burgess Hill in as a place either for a drink, lunch, dinner or Christmas lunch.I will certainly be back for lunch again.

Just had a fantastic team lunch at the Burgess Hill Inn , food was excellent , venue superb pleasant and out of the way of the general public in the 'Snug'.The staff were lovely and could not do enough .... a lovely enjoyable experience and to be recommended to everybody.

Our first visit to this pub to eat and we were delighted with the Sunday lunches. We will definitely be going back to try other dishes on the menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I approached the BH Inn at the very last minute to accommodate an unknown number of people for food and drink, post my Father's memorial service. The staff could not have been more accommodating, before and on the day, we discussed an approximate number of people for finger food, tea and coffee and I was happy to leave the final decisions in their capable hands, they knew what to do and it was also a reasonable price. The food was good and tasty, our friends and family were impressed, the area we used was comfortable and the overall cost including the bar bill was well under budget. We are happy to recommend the BH inn, there's also plenty of parking.

dropped in for a spur of the moment meal and discovered that this pub has reinvented itself to provide delicious food in lovely surroundings. 10 out of 10!

We booked for our Christmas staff meal, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was really relaxing. The courses were nicely presented, with just enough waiting time in between each one, (unlike some places where you are served each course straight after one another. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were lucky enough to dine in "The Snug" and it was great having an area to ourselves. Will definitely be paying more visits.

Went for a pub lunch on a whim. Good food (at a good price) and good service. We will definitely return

Came in last night with friends for a pre Christmas meal, not having been into the place for months we were all suprised at the fantastic change. The food was top notch and service very good, a shame the rest of the restaurant was empty but I think it will take time to rebuild a local reputation. There was live music and a really classy feel, a world apart to the old top house! Will be back :)
