The best restaurants in Buxted and Maresfield Wealden South East

Hanna made a fantastic two tier naked cake for our wedding day. I sent Hanna some pinterest images of the cakes I had in mind and she really delivered exactly the look I was hoping for! I had so many compliments from our guests. Not only did it look amazing but it also tasted incredible and I was eating cake for breakfast for a week after :) Really reasonably priced and great communication - would highly recommend Hanna.

Excellent! We went as a group for afternoon tea. Great service beautiful place and generally a very comfortable afternoon. Highly recommended

Went there for ‘lunch’ today and was served tiniest fruit scone I have ever seen, which crumbled as soon as I attempted to spread the cream on it. Actually, I didn’t need to spread the cream, as it was very runny. If I go there again I’ll make sure I eat first.

We went in with our two dogs today and ordered 2 Sunday roasts. We usually frequent a different establishment for our Sunday feeding but we took the plunge after walking the kids to try out the new owners menu. Without too much more ado, We weren't disappointed with our choice. Two dinners later and we both agreed that it was the best Sunday roasts that we ever had.. it's a family run pub with Dad in the kitchen , the man is a culinary genius, it was a nice touch too that he took the time to come out during the meal and see how we were ... Really friendly well run family restaurant and bar with ( in my humble opinion) the best food around.. well worth the visit... 10/10...

We had one night at the Buxted Inn with our toddler. The hotel staff arranged a travel cot, although no bedding which we had to bring ourselves. There was also mattress for the travel cot so we had to improvise with pillows. One point to make is the pillows were very thin and I had neckache in the morning. I don't know why hotels invest so little in pillows that can provide proper support. This is why I've graded the room as 4 stars - otherwise it was great and just what we needed. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good (steak a bit overdone, but overall very nice). The staff were excellent, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks!

Excellent.... Will be visiting again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely first class food from this village pub. It’s obvious that the chef is passionate about the food they serve and they change the menu regularly. Add to that their wine list which includes excellent options by the glass and its winner. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

We've used this restaurant many times over the years, sometimes it has been delicious. But recently, the quality, and quantity took a nosedive. We decided to give it a little distance, but tonight, fancied a curry and thought why not try it again. I am so disappointed that I wasted my money on it. Not only did it arrive cold, needing to be reheated, despite only being a couple of miles away, but the portion size was abysmal, and the food tasteless and poor quality. We ordered our usual Balti, requesting it to be on the sweeter side as it has been too spicy before. (We have done this many times, so I know how it should taste and look). Tonight though, we did not receive anything remotely similar. It was a golden yellow sauce with only 3 chunks of tough lamb in and to top it off, the container was not even half full!! Shocking! The tandoori chicken was dry and had no tandoori flavour at all. One piece was comparible to unmarinated barbecued chicken and the other tasted of salt. Barely any rice was in our pot too and the mushroom bhaji consisted of only 2 tablespoons of wilted mushroom and no sauce. For over £32 this was a complete mess and I will not be bothering with here again. Daylight robbery from an establishment that has clearly decided to take no pride in their preparation. I advise to go elsewhere if you intend to have enough food to feed two people for dinner.

Great food and great service highly recommend trying if your in the area

Don't see much table wiping being done these days 🙄

The greeting was warm and friendly from Kat and the other staff. There was plenty of choice on the menu which could be varied to suit in some regard. The meal came promptly and was hot and very tasty.

The waitress / bar maid was very pleasant and engaging. She did everything right. The beers were good. The food however was less than average. We had to send back 3 of the dishes - the kids tomato pasta was inedible. Perhaps the chef was away as it bears no resemblance to the other reviews I can see here.

What can I say the most fantastic meal I have had in a long time and service to match especially Marc (great choice of wine) and serge ( amazing cocktails) this was my partners birthday surprise and it was made so special by this wonderful Evening can not thank yo enough for this.

Normally very good.Today not so good.Not particularly busy but service not as good as usual nor was the food

Pop in here for lunch they were not busy the staff were nice and polite. Ordered from the menu but the two items we wanted they were not doing that day, so both had the Lamb Shank these where really nice with a good sauce and vegetables , had a nice meal with good service
