The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Sussex South East

After a trip to Standen we fancied a nice meal and chose The Fox at Sharpthorne. We were delighted with our choice; the bar staff were extremely friendly, warm and helpful, the food was very good, (the grilled prawns were absolutely delicious!), the whole pub had a very cosy and pleasant atmosphere! Bravo to the team at the Fox! We will definitely return when in the area again! 🦐👏🏼

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.

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.

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

This is our local go to! Staff is amazing and friendly, from owner to staff they are all exceptional people. The pub is 21 years and over which is great. The food is excellent and of very good quality locally sourced. As said, this is our go to and no other pub in town comes even close to it!

The order was delivered in good and the food was of high quality.

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

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

Always friendly, food always fresh & great potions.

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

Came in multiple times over a couple days for food and drinks for served by donna and Joe. Service was brilliant and food was top notch and the Guinness even better very very good pub with friendly atmosphere would highly recommend to anyone travelling solo or as a group as people are very welcoming

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.

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.

Really lovely pub, friendly and more importantly, dog friendly. (Even gave my dog a bone) chicken, ham and leek pie was the business too! Can’t fault the place and I’ll definitely be going back.
