The best restaurants in Cross in Hand/Five Ashes Wealden South East

A hidden gem! A stunning building set in beautiful grounds, this lovely dining room serves fantastic food. Certainly not your run of the mill 'pub grub' but freshly and perfectly cooked to order by the chef, you can enjoy an unhurried atmosphere whilst you take in the delights of this stunning building and charming staff. Full marks for ambiance, menu choices, presentation, flavour, and service as well as an extra gold star for offering gluten free re-assurance. If I could give this dining room more, I would👍 We will definitely return.

The Poppy Seed is a lovely little bakery, it sells baked in store bread, rolls sandwiches & scones but very limited in the choice of cakes.

Welcoming and friendly to everyone.

We eat Sunday Roast out a lot and recently have been disappointed at the places we have tried in Brighton. Went our for a drive today and ended up at The Wheel, Etchingham. Highy recommend. Top notch. Fresh. Delicious. I had chicken, husband three meat and others vegetarian. Very friendly people. Polite. Good price. Highly recommend.

We were welcomed warmly; the boss is adorable! We recommend this place 😊

If you advertise you open at 7am then open at 7am. Drive miles to get here to get a coffee. Only to find still closed by 7.30

Another fabulous evening at The Star. Tonight saw the VE Celebrations and whilst watching the village join together to mark such an historic event, we enjoyed superb food and wine. We were beautifully looked after by Louise. Thank you. ❤️
