The best restaurants serving British food in Ashurst Wood Mid Sussex South East

Family of 7 met for Sunday lunch to celebrate an 88th birthday. Pub almost empty at 2pm but we still waited 20minutes to order drinks. Then an hour before food arrived. Staff arguing and shouting in the kitchen. I had ordered fish which was supposed to be sole but certainly wasn't. Saute potatoes not sauted and seasonal vegetables consisted of a scoop of cabbage Cauliflower cheese was an extraordinary mess,some sort of glow in the dark cheese topped dreadful reheated cauli.Others had grey beef with overcooked veg.Apparently the Yorkshire puds were acceptable. A dismal experience did tell the staff but no comment was made. Sad because at 88 we don't know how many birthdays our relative has and we wanted him to have a treat.

New owners are doing a great job vastly improved, welcoming and pub is finally back to having the friendly village pub atmosphere we all want and appreciate
