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

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.

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

We saw the sign for the Star Inn and thought we'd try it for a Sunday lunch. We weren't disappointed. Lovely roast lunch and dessert. Very friendly staff. It was a beautiful day and warm enough tk sit in ths garden. Really glad we tried the pub and will return.
