The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Sussex South East

Possibly the worst piece of cooked fish Ive had. Soggy on the top and like shoe leather on the bottom - Not sure how that can be achieved

Use to order quite a bit from here and the food was always really nice. By far my favourite chips and cod. Recently not to sure what’s changed but ordered last week and the chips were cooked in old oil, thought maybe it was a one off so ordered again but this time 90% of the chips were cooked in old oil and the cod was just quite dry. Ordered a large cod and looked like it was a small. It’s a shame but think I’ll be looking for another chippy and maybe try one last time in a few months. The employees that deliver are very well mannered and friendly.

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!

Have used this cafe for many years, but I'm afraid it's gone down hill now. Food wasn't bad but not good. Staff were good. Toilets a bloody mess, very dirty .Scrap yard next door with rats running about. We will not stop here any more.

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.

Delicious cakes & good coffee. Great staff & lovely quirky stalls. Will definitely be back very soon 💕

Brilliant! Loved this 'olde mouldy' pub. Dan was a great barkeep and made excellent suggestions based on my taste (DARK). Word the street is it is owned by the patrons like a club or something and I have to say I was treated like one of the family and had a most excellent time hanging out having a few and talking Shte with the other patrons. My only regret is finding this place on my second to last night in East Grinstead. Next time I'll be visiting multiple times.

Had a great breakfast from here at lunch time . Delivery driver from just eat in the pouring down rain was very friendly Definitely ordering from Thornes again quality of food fantastic

There are Cafes and there are great cafes.This one without doubt falls into the latter category.My wife and I new of it’s existence for some time but had not yet visited. Then came the day when we were out for a walk and it came on to rain and we took shelter in this nearby cafe.It was nearly teatime anyway so we indulged our selves in a nice pot of tea and some really nice scones baked on the premises. We both agreed that coupled with good service that this was one of the best cafes we had been to.Highly recommended.

Fabulous little place was very busy today but managed to get a table, staff were very lovely and smiley. Food was great we had ham and cheese omelette. Very very well priced. Will return

The food was very good, but could have done with a bit more meat.

Great place to eat with friends. Sue always has a warm welcome for us and Stu’s food is delicious. Two of us are vegetarians and two aren’t, there’s always a good selection for us all. I would like them to stock zero alcohol Guinness!

Oh yes, We look forward to a pint and a burger for 10 pounds! Whilst watching the football. The atmosphere is electric. Best bar staff in Haywards Heath.

I ordered milkshakes and noticed that the person who made them poured the leftover milkshak down the sink, which felt like such a waste!! I would have been happy to take it instead of wasting it. Lets aim to reduce food waste when food poverty exists around us. Also, carrying a tray of milkshakes and coffees outside through a locked door is nearly impossible. It would be great if the staff could be a little more helpful and compassionate.

Best fish and chips in all of Sussex and believe me I have had fish and chips all over the world. The batter was just perfect and the chips were oil free. What a treat 😍
