The best restaurants serving British food in Horsham South East

Well what van I say excellent all round. New resident to Horsham tried this pub out today from the excellent hospitality to the tastiest pub si day toast I've ever had would strongly recommend to everyone and will certainly be back

We were in the area visiting friends and were told about the Blue Ship. We popped in on the off chance of a Sunday lunch and managed to get a table. We were welcomed by Sophie and made to feel very at home, being next to a roaring long burner helped too We have 3 kids so it’s nice when you go somewhere that welcomes them too. Starters were awesome. We had Brie and Haloumi and they were both fantastic. We all had the Sunday roast with different meat choices but it was spot on and exactly what we all needed. Proper good quality food and portions are how they should be. No shrinkflation! We managed to squeeze a dessert in and eventually rolled back into the car. Deffo recommended and we will be back before long (the Brie starter is enough to go back for)

¡No es la primera vez que he estado ni será la última! El personal es muy amable y atento. Como siempre, la comida estaba deliciosa, especialmente el bistec y el pudín de riñón, era uno de los mejores que he comido y estaba allí con el que mi abuela solía hacerme cuando era niño en la década de 1950. No puedo esperar a volver para una segunda ayuda.

I live in Japan now, so when I’m in England I love to visit a proper country pub, and The Sportsman Inn delivered in spades. The view over the downs was beautiful, the pub itself felt cozy and genuine, and the staff were warm and friendly. I had an absolutely terrific time with a good days walk followed up by an amazing meal and then a lovely room to stay the night. I was moved to hear that this pub is fighting for its survival and is community run. It’s nice to know that the beer I drank was supporting a good cause!

This is certainly not a run of the mill Italian restaurant. It is a real gem. I went for dinner with my wife on a busy Saturday evening. The food was fantastic, there were no corners cut in the ingredients used and the portions were not small. The owners clearly take pride in serving authentic Italian dishes. The staff were also attentive and well trained. It was a real pleasure to dine here and we will be back very soon.

Cream tea: Won't go again - very DISAPPOINTED. Good bits: Very old building with quaint approach Lovely staff Decent cup of tea Bad bits: Apart from the plastic tablecloths or bare tables: Scones look great but are terrible. No flavour. No flavour of butter, think they forgot the sugar, or used thin milk ... Whatever they were made of, they tasted more like some sort of flour and water/thin milk Sticky in the middle as if a day old or not cooked enough in the first place Lack of sultanas in fruit scones I didn't say much at the time as a guest was generously paying for us all. It turned out they hadn't said anything as I'd bothered to take them there (and had told them what a lovely place it is/was). The next day I made some scones myself and bought cream and strawberry jam. Unsolicited, my guests were making remarks, tones and gestures about not having enjoyed the Cobblestones scones, and they had been disappointing, that my scones were far better than those in the tea room, that's how a scone should be, taste, ... etc (not to butter me up - they seemed relieved to be able to say what they'd thought about Cobblestones scones) (Negligible: The cream wasn't a very generous portion for the size of scones, and although I didn't pay attention to the packaging I think it was Rodda's. With their turnover the cream must be fresh however it was not the same as from the very fresh pot I bought.) For £8.50 Spring 2025 I'd expect a decent cream tea. Even Morrison's do better with their mass produced scones. National Trust scones are usually very good - try to find one of their tea shops instead, or go just to be in an old building and just have a pot of tea. You'll get a china tea cup but not a china teapot.

We have always been totally delighted with our visits to Chalk. Great staff, ambience and quality of food. Sadly on this occasion none of these applied. Staff were ‘flat’ service was ‘flat’ and food only just OK. Step up guys!

Nice cheese on toast (with the delicious Sussex Charmer cheese you can now also buy at some farm shops and small stores). Food seems to be served quite quickly but I do wish they'd do away with the, in my opinion weird, unhygienic and impersonal practice of making customers take a pager which then buzzes and vibrates when their order is ready. If I'm about to eat, I don't want to handle a pager that's been in the hands of goodness knows how many other people.

We attended our Uncle’s 80th birthday celebration on Saturday 22nd February. We were met with a warm welcome before being served delicious champagne and canapés. This was followed by a 3 course meal in the restaurant just for the family event which was beautifully decorated. The food and wine were outstanding as was the service by all those serving, nothing was too much trouble. We then moved into the main room for the Jazz evening and were later served with a cheeseboard. I would highly recommend Tottington Manor for a family event and it is set in beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much, you made it a very special occasion for our very youthful Uncle!

Wonderful place for breakfast, lunch or a nice hot drink & a cake/scone. 3 areas to sit and eat, lovely and comfortable with a good choice of jacket potatoes, sandwiches, toasties and more. Fresh cakes adorn the kitchen area and have a multitude of drinks to choose from. Find a table, then go to the counter with your table number and choices, the service is quick and food is devine. Highly recommend and a lovey asset though the village.

Four of us visited The Hen last week and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The pub had been doing Indian food and well as a comprehensive English menu for some time now, and I’ve heard nothing but good reviews, and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The service and welcome from Belal and his team was excellent, and the time taken to care for one of our party who has a garlic allergy was absolutely perfect. We all agreed that the reports of this being the best curry house around were spot on, and we will definitely return.

My first time ever leaving a review somewhere. We visited today with my partner and was extremely disappointed with our experience. We waited 40 minutes for our food, despite the limited menu consisting only of pies. While we were prepared for a simple meal, the long wait and the burnt oven chips we were served were completely unacceptable. My partner was hesitant to complain because a group of people had come in to start ordering food, but I feel it’s important to highlight this issue. If a place struggles to prepare something as basic as oven chips, I would strongly advise others to avoid eating here. Very disappointing.

What an amazing experience - stunning food in lovely surroundings with such a friendly team! Love the sustainability ethos and learning more about each ingredient, along with the merging of various styles to create some truly brilliant dishes. Loved having the chefs come out to introduce us to dishes, and giving their own stories about what the dishes mean to them. Overall service was out of this world - we were so well looked after!

Free entry to explore the marvellous gardens at Leonardslee when booking the Ultimate experience. A thorough wine tasting, brilliantly conducted by 'Simba', a true credit to his profession as a sommelier. Fabulous wines and that Sabre moment when the cork is 'popped', my friend did this with such distinction. An excellent, delicious Afternoon Tea followed, nothing waste much of a problem, photo opportunity, carrot cake a welcome extra but 'Simba' created the icing on the cake. Fantastic experience.
