The best restaurants in Pound Hill South and Worth Crawley South East

My better half and I stumbled across this venue the other week when only outdoor seating was permitted. Had a pint and tried some of the Indian starters. Absolutely blown away by them so decided to return for a full on meal once indoors was open. So glad we did. I’m of Indian origin and I would say it was the best Indian meal, besides my mother’s, I have ever had in the UK in my life. That is high praise and definitely warranted. This is a relatively new venture and to that end the dining area is being slowly but surely brought up to par with the food. The dinning area is clean and functional but not particularly atmospheric, that is however all forgotten about when the food arrives. The chef takes great pride and on both occasions came to see us. He is very welcoming and has a great insight and wealth of experience in many types of cuisine. So I would throughly recommend this venue to eat and am already planning my next visit to try other dishes on the menu!

Have been using The Oriental now for the last 10 years and not once have I had a bad All food cooked to order and generous portions Has a handy app for delivery and only £1 delivery fee in the local area A1 company

Went here for my sisters birthday, what a great venue, fantastic value for money, great atmosphere, food and service, will definitely be going back again.

Absolutely fantastic authentic food great value for money and tastes supreme would definitely recommend great service and fresh food served with a smile cant wait for next one

Service was friendly and polite. Good food choices. However, chips arrived and they were not hot. Fish cakes overdone but nice sauce. Second meal was warm rather than hot. We had the mini puddings with coffee which are good value. Coffee arrived 10 minutes before dessert and I would prefer the coffee to finish the meal. Coffee not hot. A few tweaks and getting food items hot and this would be a good place to go. Plenty of parking and plenty of tables. Bill reasonable.

Had an excellent experience at the Coaching Halt today. Went with a friend who has allergies. We were looked after by Laila and she could not have been more friendly and helpful, particularly re the allergies. Additionally, Nicole also looked after us and, again, was particularly helpful re my friend’s allergies. Food was good, the restaurant is comfortable and welcoming and the staff are brilliant. Thank you Laila and Nicole.

Use the Heathy for lunch regularly with friends. However this time the food was overpriced for what it was. The steak was fatty and as a result they took it iff the bill. Only people in the place so no atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Also i drink soda water which is usually no charge. This time however i was charged £2.50 for a soda water and lime. Unfortunately will not be going as regularly in the future

A takeaway ordered on line. Food was hot, fresh and waiting for me upon arrival. Very good food and great service. Friendly staff at shop

On approaching the restaurant walked past 3 kitchen staff smoking sitting on the grit bins. Booked table online as thought maybe busy but was surprised to find it quite quiet, took ten minutes to get the attention of the waitress to order our drinks and food and then another 50minutes for me to ask and point out that our food was waiting on the serving hatch for the last 5minutes. And then waited an age for us to be offered the desert menus to de the staff then clearing a table that had been left for an hour. The salad bar was poor and half empty and hearing families being told it would be an hour and half for a table when there was only a max of 4 tables with people eating didn’t seem right. On speaking to a staff member was told it was because they have been taken over by the hawth and half the staff have been sacked and the the rest have been cut right back so was only two serving staff on shift.

We made a big order of pizzas to be delivered at work place. The big boxes of pizzas were delivered in time and very warm - freshly cooked. There’s also drinks available. As we ordered big number of pizzas the management gave us two extra boxes for free. Brilliant 🤩 deal!!!
