The best restaurants serving British food in High Weald Mid Sussex South East

Horrible and drunk landlord - Went to this pub to meet up with some friends during the Christmas period… We found a free table and took our drinks to enjoy a catch up, during this time we notice the landlord having multiple wines before we had even finished one pint and this continued for our second pint. Whilst seated we got asked to vacate our table by the landlord for some food customers as we were only drinks customers - Although this felt very awkward we obliged and moved to the bar. At the bar we carried on catching up whilst having lovely conversations with the bar staff, suddenly out of nowhere the landlord (drunk) came over to us to tell us “you are being too loud and I’m going to ask you to leave if you don’t be quiet” (bare in mind that we weren’t even being loud). These rude and forceful comments that he made (the bar staff and chef looking incredibly embarrassed!) ended up with the drunk landlord banning us from the pub and grabbing hold of a friend telling him to be quiet which was completely out of order and unacceptable behaviour… an apology would much be appreciated!

I loved this place and will definitely return. Warm, welcoming atmosphere with delicious organic food. My coffee was perfect and Ploughmans lunch was fresh and very good value. But it’s the atmosphere and the staff that make this place really special.

Sunday roast was fantastic,staff very friendly and helpful.

Six of us on a cold winters evening. Log Fire . All food great, Raspberry Souffle amazing. Great service.Reasonably priced. Will return.

I always enjoy the experience of dining at the Gravetye Manor. I last went a year ago and was very much looking forward to my return visit. They have changed the experience by introducing some taster courses in between you chosen meal from the set menu, for the month or season. What a brilliant addition ! A wonderful meal. I enjoyed every course.

We enjoy visiting this traditional village pub for lunch, it is served by an hourly bus which runs from Brighton to East Grinstead so is easy to reach, and is popular with walkers and cyclists in the summer months, there is plenty of outside seating in the sunny frontage as well as a bar with an open fire and a restaurant area. The food varies from light lunches to pub classics and there is always a specials board, I had an amazing seafood linguine recently. There are deals on certain nights too. We sometimes take the wider family there and the children enjoy the meals. We have always been made to feel very welcome.

The food was a similar quality you'd find in a high end restaurant in London and the service was fantastic. A nice pub with a homely feel! Would highly recommend
