The best restaurants in Rusper and Colgate Horsham South East

One of the best in Sussex. Great food, brilliant service and well worth a visit

First casual visit but my 2 friends have been Intermittently over many years. The Frog & Nightown is situated in remote country setting with an extensive garden setting near to Horsham. Open 12 noon until 9 pm with light lunch menu. A FREE HOUSE COUNTRY PUB ATMOSPHERE.

Myself and two former colleagues agreed to meet up for an evening meal on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. One was travelling 25 miles from Bromley; the other from Crawley and myself from Reigate. We checked on the website which confirmed the kitchen was open on Tuesday evenings. Unfortunately, on arrival at 7.15pm, we found this not to be the case. The kitchen was closed and there was no chef available. The courteous staff explained it had been quiet on Mondays and Tuesday lately so a decision had been made not to serve food in the evenings. I said the website said it would be open. There were more apologies. Sadly we left this cosy pub and enjoyed a great meal at the Star down the road.

Was really looking forward to a lovely day out and picnic. But they are not as sweet as their strawberries! There was nothing on their website about no picnics, so when got there was shocked to find that there is a no picnic rule! The situation could have been handled well by staff, but when aproached by a female staff member we were told that we could go and sit behind an old shed in the car park, or in the strawberry field (where you are not allowed to also eat) where no one would see us. Because apparently if ANYONE saw us having a small picnic on the grass then EVERYONE who saw us would suddenly want to bring picnics! I really thought this was a community place, but we were told in their own words that they only care about making money. So when we offered to buy things in the cafe we were told this was still not ok. Rude staff as well. On website said not gluten free kitchen so what are the gluten free people meant to do about food!? Eat the grass!? Overpriced cakes and tea. Do not recommend!!

We had breakfast at the hotel although we weren't on an inclusive package. The food was cooked to order and nicely served. There were plenty of staff on duty and the restaurant was nicely decorated.

My husband and I celebrated our 23 wedding anniversary and ordered fillet steaks served with chips, mushrooms and fried onion with a pepper corn sauce drizzled on the steaks. This was cooked with perfection and presented well . The service was professional and polite . The rioja red wine goes extremely well and sets the flavours . This gives a feeling of satisfaction and puts a smile on your face .

We held my mums wake here on Friday for about 35 people. Ali set up half the venue for us so we could all be together and from the moment any of the funeral party arrived they were welcomed and offered drinks and teas and coffees. We had a hot and cold buffet which everyone commented was lovely. Thankyou Ali, Mark and all your staff for making this saddest of occasions very special for us.

An impromptu visit as we were passing through and The Star looked so warm and welcoming. It didn’t disappoint with really lovely home cooked food. We were very lucky to get a table as you can see how popular this place is. And with good reason.

Lovely restaurant area with a real relaxed friendly atmosphere,the staff were very attentive.lots of parking large very well presented garden.The food was exceptionally well cooked and presented.Generally a very nice place to eat out

Great looking place, fantastic staff. Came with family for Sunday Lunch. Had to take a photo of menu . Different but fun. Starters, soup is a must. THE DRAGON ROAST. Make sure you can swim. The whole meal is just smothered in Gravy . Very salty gravy as well. Totally ruined the complete meal. It’s the same on the Beef meal as well. I think what’s most annoying is the Manager could see we were not happy with it and just pushed his young staff over to try and deal with it. Still paid the complete Bill but will never being going back. Food with Potential, Great Staff , Poor leadership.
