The best restaurants in Crawley Down and Turners Hill Mid Sussex South East

Have been going here for years without issue. Today I took my visiting parents here for a cooked breakfast. We sat down and had to wait for 15 min before one of the 2 staff came to take our order (she was eating her breakfast at a table when we arrived!) Very rude and blunt when taking our order. Waited a long time for it to arrive and when it did my order was wrong. I informed the staff and she appologied. When the missing item did arrive some 5 min later, it wasn’t cooked! I tried to return it to the staff but both were outside the kitchen back door smoking, so I left it on the side. When they came back in they ignored that it was there and just continued to talk. Never once did they ask “everything ok?” Or “how was your food?” Won’t be coming here again.

Always great food when we eat here, gets busy so make sure to book. Having said that we walked in without a booking at lunchtime on a Friday, was still busy but we immediately had a table. Food is amazing and filling, friendly staff. Try the arancini starter and pork meatball with spaghetti if it's on the specials!

Lovely food, helpful and friendly staff. It was a wonderful experience with a fabulous variety of options

Amazing toasted sandwich and scone with fab flat whites, served by really good staff members Emily and Izzy, who made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning to try rest of menu 😋. 10/10

My wife and I met old friends here for lunch yesterday. We can't praise the welcome we received and the food too highly. The lamb shank and chicken and leak pie were excellent as were the desserts. Gemma and her team ensured that this was a very special and memorable occasion. We will definitely be coming back.

Good selection of well kept ales.

The food is really wonderful, both dining in at the restaurant or take away. It can be noisy on a Saturday night, so if you're after a romantic evening and enjoy talking to each other whilst dining, go elsewhere. We could hardly hear ourselves speak, and had to keep repeating ourselves so it wasn't ideal, especially as it was only our third date getting to know each other. The food was so enjoyable and the service impeccable so we would certainly return on a Saturday night for dinner, whether just the two of us or with friends. We have had a few take-aways though which doesn't disappoint.

The king prawns were more like regular prawns and there were very few considering the cost of the dish. The prawns were also over cooked unfortunately, so they were very tough and dry. The onion bhaji’s, naan and rice were fine.

We had a lovely evening at The Crown with delicious food. We have been a few times recently and each time the food has been excellent. How nice that it’s not run by a chain but a proper local pub.

I booked a large table for 13 of us to enjoy a delicious afternoon tea after we’d had a fab time in the Tulley’s Escape Rooms as my Halloween themed Hen Party. The staff were very accommodating as I wanted to hang some bunting and put out table decorations. Of course, I prearranged permission before-hand but they were very obliging and friendly! The food was delicious and well presented. They also catered for one party member being dairy free. Very happy with my experience and will not hesitate to book again!

The first time to AG’s although we have visited the Reflections restaurant in the same location on a few previous occasions. We had Christmas lunch, and the whole experience from arrival, with drinks in the Champagne Lounge to departure was amazing. The quality and presentation of the food was exceptional as was the high level of service and attention from the staff. Highly recommended on every level

The food, service, drinks - everything was brilliant. Main review on Alexander House.

To start with, we were disappointed that the menu was different to the one on the website. We both ordered the same 10oz ribeye, mine was much smaller and thinner than my husband’s. We left feeling hungry.

The Royal Oak took a dinner booking more than 6 weeks in advance. The day before the booked reservation, we rang them to confirm the booking time only to be told they could not accommodate us. They said the chef had been taken sick. After some researching we found out the Oak does not open on the day we had booked. It all seemed a bit odd, and wondered when they were going to tell us 🤔
