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.

We visited Dal Nonno for the first time and it was a surprise to see the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, considering we were also working in Italian restaurants many years ago, my husband and I, and it was always a pleasure to work in such restaurants - kind of Taverna family business. We were expecting the food to be just as recommended and as we know it, however, we were quite disappointed, because the food was tasteless. Maybe because it was a very busy night etc, but absolutely all dishes had no salt or pepper, or any condiments which add the taste to a dish. I appreciate that you may add salt and pepper to each ones taste, however, when pasta has a dull taste, it's not called authentic Italian food. The Calzone Pizza was filled with whole ham slice(s) and mozzarella ( I think), tasteless again, and texture like chewing gum. It was just as you make a sandwich, put ham and cheese, then you toast it. And it did not look like Calzone, but more like a folded pitta bread. Friendly service, a bit rushed, absolutely all tables booked and noisy indeed ( but that's just how 'tavernas' can be). Hope you can do better and good luck! Best regards

Great food and super friendly staff!

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere on the Sunday buffet. We had two children’s and two adult buffets. It came with poppadoms, chicken, onion, budgies, and samosas with poppadoms and all the trimmings. We then had a delicious buffet with lots of selections and everything was warm and fresh thank you. Good job regards Lily.

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

I came here for lunch and had a toasted sandwich, cake and coffee! Everything was so nice and really great quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. Will definitely be back

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.

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.

Having not visited the Crown in over 10 years plus, we booked for a Sunday evening for the 6 of us all having their Xmas Menu. We didn't know what to expect and we were so happy we booked here. It really did exceed our expectations. Lovely and warm upon entering and very inviting. Staff were excellent despite being rushed off their feet. They had many tables to attend to, but they did it with warmth and grace. Moving on to the food, all courses were excellent, served timely, and came out to the table nice and hot. Xmas menu excellent value. We all had different items, and we all cleared our plates. Really enjoyed the evening. Definitely return sooner rather than later. Thank you to the staff who were working under pressure on a very busy Xmas period.

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.

The Staff were very good and attentive. The food was also very good. Sadly, I found the smell of Lillies very pungent and overpowering. I suffer from Asthma and I started to feel breathless and sick after a while. I could not request to sit away from them as the whole place reeked of Lillies.

Lovely pub, friendly welcome, food very good
