The best restaurants in East Grinstead Town Mid Sussex South East

Fantastic cafe. top quality food by a super friendly owner. breakfasts here have become a must do for bluebell railway staff working at East Grinstead and more than likely you'll see us in there around 9am. I adore chilli on chips. I spend every day not breakfasting at the zac shack, wishing I was breakfasting at the zac shack.

This is definitely my "go-to" place to meet friends, especially in the current difficult times. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very efficient. The menu is very good, the surroundings are immaculately clean and the tables well spaced - all of the staff wear masks and orders are brought directly to your table. Payment is contactless. The restrooms are equally immaculately clean and have been refurbished in order to provide as good a 'no-touch' experience as it is possible to achieve. In these concerning times, all of this ensures a relaxing and comfortable experience - a lot of time and thought has quite obviously gone into providing a Covid-safe environment that is as reassuring as possible. Highly recommended.

We had low expectations of this place (it's attached to a goods warehouse) but wow, were we wrong. It's owned and run by an Italian who cooks fabulous food. We had a wonderful lunch - the home made burger and vegetarian pasta were particular highlights - and the tiramisu for dessert was delicious, too. All for a very low price. We will be back!

Fantastic food , fantastic service.

Best burgers in town, hands down. Loaded fries are incredible! Milkshakes are awesome. Staff are awesome. Highly recommend

Really like this pub, it's a bit of a hidden gem behind the main part of the high street. There is always a great selection of unusual beers and ciders, and they let you do a taster first before committing to a pint. Also the white wine is always really cold, which doesn't seem to be a given in all pubs! There's a nice little quiz that runs one Thursday a month. There's a gin night too, and they also offer a beer and cider takeout service with containers of various sizes. Not sure about disabled access because it's up a steep slope and steps, but there may be alternative access. No food offer, but a fair selection of crisps 😁.

I'm a regular, great service as usual, lunch is very good value for money and tasty. Atmosphere is very relaxed, and you get a very warm welcome each time you walk through the door.

We had an amazing meal. Superb. The Staff were very busy but the service was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌

Great food and the staff are always welcoming, friendly, and thankful. The woman who takes orders over the phone is also very polite and sat in a quiet room which makes ordering easier. I just wish they had a website with online ordering, and red cabbage. Apart from that, great place. UPDATED - They now have a website for online ordering and it's excellent! Great work!

Cannot recommend enough. Food, kindly service and amazing atmosphere was all great. All family loved. Adding one of our orders, Lamb Beyti.

Had afternoon tea today and it was amazing! The food was great, the cakes were beautiful! I Definitely would recommend going here! And the price for what you get was brilliant. To top it off the staff are all lovely and made you feel welcome!

We really liked the friendly staff, clean shop and prompt delivery. The food blew us away. Absolutely delicious. Thank you. We’ll be back!!

We had lovely evening here, food was great, service was attentive and mood had a good vibe. Although a bit more expense, worth the experience.

I ordered a pad thai and vegetables in batter. This meal was terrible and tasteless. They seem to think if you put sugar in everything people will be satisfied. This a lazy excuse for not being able to cook food with flavour or variety. When I told them this sticky tasteless goo! They call a meal wasn't edible. They refused to refund me, but did give me some fried vegetables, which was just about ok. The vegetables in batter were greasy and tasteless. The king prawn in batter, looked like it came from a frozen ready-made packet and just thrown in a deep fryer. Nither of us finished our meal. After spending £42.00 i feel totally unhappy and dissatisfied withis experience. I woke the next morning after feeling somewhat poisoned and not feeling good, you that feeling that you get when you know you ate something dodgy! Do they change the oil they cook with regularly or at all? Don't eat there, it's not good!

Went to Qartol on Valentines evening with my wife. Food was average, when it finally arrived! The service was appalling. After an hour we still hadn't received our starter, so I complained to one of the staff. Low and behold, our starter and main courses were served up at the same time. Won't be going back.
