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!

Good food... high quality, decent portion sizes and delicious!

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

Excellent venue for good quality beer in east Grinstead. Always a pleasure to visit.

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 were there on a Sunday lunchtime, we knew it would be a little quieter, especially as it’s a sunny weekend but you couldn’t fault the standard of service regardless. Went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted plus some. Delicious food as well. Would highly recommend. Will be back (this was our second visit). Thank you.

fantastic customer service, lovely people, food was to die for (i reccomend the megga meat and chips) couldn't recommend any place more than this one

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.

Exceptional food Revisited a year later. Still delicious Revisited April 2025. Still delicious

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.
