The best restaurants in Mid Sussex South East

Came here on the recommendation of others and really glad that we did. Great to see a local place that has genuine passion for what it does. The ciders were great, we tried a fair few between us (thanks designated driver) from fruity to traditional to the driest thing I've ever tasted - good to try new things. The pizzas were a real bonus - really tasty and a bit out of the ordinary too. We did have a bit of an issue with one aspect of service and I contacted the Cider Tap afterwards to try and resolve but never heard back. That did put a bit of a downer on things but overall, excellent drinks and spot-on pizza.

What a delightful cafe! Coffee was delicious and the gentleman who served us was so helpful and friendly! It was the perfect way to start the day. Great value for money and really close to the station. Well worth the trip

Great friendly atmosphere. Best coffee in town. Yummy Rocky Road and banoffe milkshake is delicious. Enjoyed lunch, the company, and the ambience. Thank you :-)

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.

Local run business. Well established in the town and very popular with a more mature clientele. Everything cooked from fresh by the owner and her friendly team. Very popular on Sunday for their roast lunches. Good portion sizes. Highly recommended.

Lovely little cafe. Good pricing and friendly staff. Enjoyed a Marmite cheese straw and hot chocolate. Nice selection of cakes and hot lunches.

Delicious homemade cakes with vegan options to accompany great coffee - our guilty pleasure after walking our dog around East Court! Friendly & professional we highly recommend!

Stayed at this hotel for business several times now and ate in the restaurant. Decent food for a hotel restaurant. Received friendly and attentive service from Freya.

Always fun to go here. Street food and wide selection of beers brewed locally or on premises. Staff always welcoming. The place has a good vibe, is always full of people happy to be out. Wide selection of party games in the garden.

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.

Nestled by the bustling Ardingly show ground, the Curry Leaf food truck stands out as a beacon of authentic Indian flavors. Not only is the curry absolutely delightful, but the service radiates genuine warmth and friendliness. It's a must-visit for anyone craving a true taste of India on-the-go. Highly recommended

Friendly staff and tasty grub! Well worth a visit and a great selection of vegan burgers which is something that’s hard to find. Can recommend the Naga Bad Boy :-)

Went for some breakfast and to have a look around. First time visiting, we got our car washed in the car park - they did a fab job. Breakfast was really really good, I had a vegetarian breakfast and it was so good! My partner had the ultimate omelette which looked great too! Very nice restaurant with a soft play area too for kiddies. Indoor and outdoor seating. Garden centre is also very pleasant and sells a wide range of goods.

Amazing food, so quick with the service, staff are friendly, never an issue with ordering, portions are a great size and always left full up.
