The best restaurants in Chanctonbury Horsham South East

First time of calling into the cafe/ shop with a friend, quite busy and certainly off the beaten track, friendly service, good selection of rolls and sandwiches, the coffee was very good and I can recommend the bacon roll, now I know where it is I will definitely call again.

Hidden gem, great coffee and amazing cakes. If you sit outside you might see the regular robin who might land on your table.

We arrived at 7 p.m. and were lucky to get a table. The restaurant was pretty much full. I recommend making a reservation. Inside, it was clean and presentable. It's a good-sized restaurant with two dining areas and a good ambience. The staff are attentive and very friendly. Even though they were busy, they took the time to talk to us. The menu was varied. We had the onion bhaji, three good-sized bhajis to share, poppadoms, and all the sauces. They were delicious. We ordered the vegan biriyani and the chicken balti. Both were good-sized portions and very tasty. The balti had one chilli pepper symbol and was the perfect heat. The vegan biryani came with a bread topping on the rice with jack fruit at the bottom. We had never seen this before, and it was terrific. Do not be in a hurry. They were quite busy, and it took time to get drinks, order, bill etc., but I had no issue as the staff were great, and the food was amazing. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back. Well done.

Lovely warm welcome. Great cheese board and delicious Bacchus.

Family celebration for 12 in the restaurant (dog friendly area). The landlord and landlady were very hospitable and attentive in the preparations. We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a delicious meal from locally sourced menu with great service. Roundabout Hotel is a family favourite! We have been returning over many years. Thank you.

Great meal for my daughter’s birthday. Fabulous food and the service from Thomas and Nicky was excellent. Both attentive without being intrusive

It was a cold day and we visited for a cup of coffee and to see the recently opened pub. The lovely open fire was unlit and there was no atmosphere. For an old pub the decor was not suited to this lovely village pub. Another couple came in and asked for mulled wine, however the pub had none! So December, no fire lit, no mulled wine and staff that were not very engaging. We looked at the food menu and we felt over priced. I’m not surprised it’s closed. Hopefully it will re-open soon with someone with a better strategy.
