The best restaurants in Mid Sussex South East

I place an order 20 minutes before there closing time, when I stop by to pick up my order the greetings I received was amazing, and the food was just as good.

Excellent as always plus the garlic mayo was magnifique

We booked for a table, and received a confirmation email, but then when we arrived after our 1 hour drive, it was closed, we had had no notice or email about this from the restaurant, and on google it claimed that they were open, we ending up eating in a lovely restaurant opposite, meaning we watched multiple other people have the same experience as us. Utterly disappointing!

Didn't try their food options but very nice atmosphere and friendly staff

food was very cold. only very slight heat to the food we had l.

Lovely meal and would definitely recommend the gourmet burger!

Brought 2 portions of chips and 1 portion of mushy peas and it was over £14!! Absolutely extortionate prices. The chips were very dry and very over cooked even with salt & vinegar. Asked only one portion to have salt and vinegar but they didn’t label them. Not helpful with a celiac who can’t have malt vinegar. This used to be lovely food and good prices but massively gone down hill. Will stead clear of this one in the future.

We have known and stayed at Ockenden Manor since 1975. Staff are superb. The catering, however, has now moved into the pretentious category with a menu that is specialised, limited in range and depth and wine list which is a tad removed from normality. Ockenden Manor is lovely but no longer a reasonable restaurant experience.

New owners are doing a great job vastly improved, welcoming and pub is finally back to having the friendly village pub atmosphere we all want and appreciate

Unfortunately they weren't interested in helping us check for / accommodating potential menu options for someone in our group with a sesame allergy; they just flat out refused to serve us. 🤷

Waited for 5 minutes for staff to appear only then got side stepped. Found a better place to eat in the end.

Hair in my food, staff don’t wear hats, forget to put gloves on, and don’t offer to toast sandwiches they put minimum effort in food is decent has potential

Seriously disappointing and pretty disgusting. Being run by teens who clearly couldn’t care less; filthy in the prep area, rubbish spilling into floor. More interested in chatting to their friends than serving customers - it took over 12 minutes to serve 2 customers! Pastries counter looking empty and dirty. Tables in restaurant area a complete state - mess and empties everywhere, with more rubbish on the floors. Sort it out Costa - it’s not hard to do better.

pizza is cold.....not good enough
