The best restaurants serving British food in Horsham South East

Lovely little tearoom with delicious scones and English tea. Gluten free options available. Now getting to be regulars.

Early 60th afternoon tea, everything was perfect !! Venue, music, hosts, we will be back and what a gem of a place., highly recommend. Thank you both for a lovely afternoon, we will be recommending.

This Coffee Roaster is run by very professional and friendly people. I have visited several times and their coffee is amazing, I would strongly recommend here if your a coffee lover.

Situated in a small business park, nestled in the South Downs, I visit this cafe several times a month. A very good menu, with a warm welcome, indoor and outdoor seating and pets welcome. Open weekdays until 2pm

I am 60 yrs old and have just had the best chorizo bbq burger in my life. Fantastic. Get there before he closes tonight.

Lovely service, real English atmosphere and realy good breakfast. We were to late for dinner when we came, but they fixed up something anyway and it was realy good.

Great brevets steak lunch , one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. It was presented on a bed of spinach and a portion of potato lyonnaise. Well presented, promptly served but portions were a bit small. The steak was delicious but I personally felt a larger portion of potato lyonnaise would have made this a 10/10 . I left slightly hungry but thoroughly enjoyed this steak. Friends had a pottage of smoked haddock that they both loved.

What great food with very attentive service. Beers were good with good choice.

What a lovely place food was the best I have ever had thank you to ash the waitress/barmaid was very sweet attentive and funny lovely atmosphere open fire cosy spotless can’t wait to go back Debbie xjulian

Botanica is good, in fact its food quality is better than good with some outstanding cooking from a talented team of chefs. The atmosphere is casual, with a lovely outside area that overlooks the downs on nice days. The menu is thoughtful and broken down in to small plates and large plates and is dairy and nut free. Sadly, the menu lacked a good description of the overall concept. If they want to be bold and lead with a dairy and nut free menu that is designed to be sustainable with lower carbon emission, why not shout about it! To have no description or introduction on the menu was a little odd. The open kitchen produced exciting flavors and textures that were well balanced, with perfectly cooked vegetables, fish and meat. Wine, as expected was expensive and service is added to your final bill. The staff here were fairly well trained, although lacked some passion, enthusiasm and warmth. The restaurant is comfortable with well-spaced tables, but didn’t live up to its name Botanica. I expected a wall of growing herbs or some living plants, not the plastic pots that decorated this space. A big plus was the menu is well suited for anyone with allergies including the notorious gluten free, and there are plenty of choices on the menu. Our only gripe was a dish labelled “Day boat” fish on the menu was sadly not as described. The fish served was a Mediterranean farmed Sea bream aka Dorarde Royal, but the chef claimed it was locally caught day boat (meaning wild caught on a small fishing boat). As one of our party works in the fish industry, he was able to confidently identify the fish, which was sadly not day boat wild black bream that is caught in the UK waters. It would have also been nice to know where the lamb and chicken came from. No mention of Organic, free range or a local farm where the lamb came from, which is what one would expect from a restaurant that is all about local and sustainable, and where food miles and production are important. Never the less, this did not distract from the overall high quality of food served, whether it was day boat or not, the fish was bloody tasty and that’s what really mattered. We would certainly go again and overall enjoyed the experience. Ps. Be warned, we took at tiny cake in for a birthday celebration (not to eat) but they were reluctant to bring it out saying they could not handle it if it had dairy and candles were against their no open flames policy. However they did bring out a small plate to say Happy birthday.

We've been coming to this lovely old gastropub from time to time over the years and we have generally enjoyed our visits. Our last venture here was to celebrate the birthday of my mother. We were 10 persons, having booked in advance and we were shown to a long table in the corner of the main room. It was cozy but it didn't lead to our being able to talk easily during the meal to everybody. Our waitress, a Polish lady was excellent. Very friendly, helpful and prepared to engage in some light hearted banter. Some of us had starters, things like whitebait and prawn cocktail which were OK. For my main course I had the chicken pie with extra gravy. Delicious. The rest of the party seemed to enjoy their food although we wondered whether there had been a change in chef since we had last been here. Somehow, the food was slightly less impressive compared to our previous visits but we couldn't really put our finger on the difference. Mum finished with an ice cream and a candle and the waitress and owner(?) came over and sang Happy Birthday with us which was nice. All in all we enjoyed our visit in this old, historic coaching inn.

Amazing pancakes in terms of taste, volume of food and freshness! So many blueberries! Excellent value and to get a giant mug of hot tea for £1.70, and in a clean mug, is going to be a win in anyone’s book! Very happy i popped in during my stay at the travelodge. Thanks!

The Green Man is what all pubs should be like, casual, warm and welcoming staff. We stopped of on the way past the pub and decided to give it a try, we were not disappointed , we both had the fish and chips, very nice food, expertly cocked and presented . Large portions.

We drove 40 mins to get to the pub, and we met friends who drove 40 mins from the other direction. We have been once before, last summer, and were itching to come back. We had such a super evening. Staff very welcoming, a couple of fires alight to keep us cosy on what was a very chilly evening. Sometimes in establishments you get a menu where you might only fancy one thing, or on the odd occasion, you don’t really fancy anything. On this menu, I fancied everything. Between us we had king prawn starters, and then mains of calves liver, pork schnitzel (amazing), whole sea bass, cheese and leek tart. All met with approval. For puds I was too full, and as my friend couldn’t decide on which pud, I made her order the chocolate mousse, as had been recommended by a previous reviewer. I had a spoonful. Absolutely delicious! My husband had the churros, and others had homemade ice cream. We all had a great evening and it was well worth the drive. Thanks to all involved. We all thoroughly enjoyed 🙂
