The best restaurants in Ifield Crawley South East

There were aspects of this that didn’t hit 5* but let’s deal with why in my opinion, it’s a worthy ‘excellent.’ Rice and breads superb. Light and non stodgy. Vegetable dansak best I’ve had in many years of eating Indian food 1-2 times each week. In fact dansak was a perfect 10/10. Tandoori mixed grill was very good, on bone chicken unbelievably tender and flavoursome. Also included a huge king prawn, superb. Sheek kebab ditto. Chicken tikka pieces were good but not great, tbh, too many(!), too much meat, probably enough for two people. My constructive critique: less meat and substitute 2-3 pieces of chicken tikka for one piece of really good lamb tikka. Less is more! Decor was good, service attentive and very friendly. A very positive experience.

12 of us for Sunday lunch, amazing roast, great atmosphere. So welcoming and friendly. Didn't intend for it to be a 7 hour lunch but no pressure to leave, nice and relaxed. We will be back soon!

We were a party of three. Got a friend staying over and we wanted to go somewhere local and walk-able and with a dog also in tow. The one plus point is they are happy with dogs in the establishment. Tried this gaff before and not been impressed, especially with the food side. The beer, best not go there. If you don't drink lager, good luck with the one and only cask ale in sight. A Harvey's Best of questionable condition and quality. Over to the food. Standard pub grub fare you see anywhere. Hence starts the fiasco of ordering the food. Initial order was for 2 chicken pies, and one butter? chicken burger. This order was taken and promptly cancelled as they had "run out of these chicken pies- sorry". Ok, we said, lets go for one portion of fish and chips and 2 potions of chicken burgers. Minutes later an apologetic barmaid comes to the table we are at and says the last fish and chips portion has sold!. This was re-selected as sausage and mash and at last the order was processed! Food, arrived a few minutes later but only 2 potions. The second butter chicken burger meal was mysteriously missing. "with you soon was the stock comment". Twenty minutes later still no third meal. After chasing, it did actually arrive. We all ate it but were not impressed with the quality of the meals. Now we come to the bill. The fish and chips was still on the charge and was more expensive than the bangers and mash replacing it. This was queried but little was altered on the bill itself, but we were given a £1.20 something cash refund. By now, we had lost the will to live and couldn't wait to get out and go home. We are not passing customers, been in that pub since 1986 but on this showing, never again!

Used to have good quality food but now gone down hill with soggy chips and the place ran by kids. they had a male manager think he used to work mainly on Tuesdays as that’s when I went and he was always there with a smile and I never had a problem with the food he always fried to perfection. Now can’t say the same. What a shame. Bring him back!
