The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Sussex South East

Okay venue, staff very pleasant, food beautifully cooked and presented just no wow or surprises here. At £100 + per head including wine and drinks just expected something a tiny bit better compared to other similar offerings at venues locally (Penmaenuchaf, Portmeirion or Plas Dinas, which all offer more theatre, for example) . Not disappointed at all with what we had, just not amazing. Should not have to ask for knives or side plates for the cheese board. No serving spoons provided for the veg etc. Had to remind staff about drinks ordered. It was not as if they were busy.

Booked a table for a special occasion when our family was visiting us. We previously had a few decent visits to the place. It was Monday night and the place was not busy at all. We got our drinks and then the waiting began....if 5 tables were occupied in the place, I am overestimating. Literally no food was coming out of the kitchen. I finished my glass of wine and I m not a quick drinker and still nothing. I enquired about our orders and were told that our table is next. It took an hour to finally get our dishes, which were rather small. The buttermilk fried chicken was tasty and juicy but I got a tablespoon of coleslaw with it. Someone else ordered the steak and I have never in my life seen such a small piece of meat. Nasi Goreng was decent. It was also a Monday night special and our orders created a lot of confusion what counted as special and what not...the waitress was kind and tried to rectify the hiccups.

Thought we would struggle to get down from London in time for dinner on a Friday evening Delighted we got a booking here Lovely Maitre'd and waiting staff Food really tasty especially the rabbit leg scotch egg, rump steak , Chocolate Delice and Chilean Red Loved the feel of the beautiful thatched building

We've eaten here several times and it's become a favourite. This time we took visiting friends, and phoned ahead to ask for a quiet table. Staff really went out of their way to accommodate us, and made us feel very welcome and well looked-after. The food and drink, as always, were very enjoyable. There can be some inconsistency at times — some items are excellent while others, incongruously, are just good. But then it is, deservedly, very, very busy at weekends.

Will definitely use again clean tidy fresh cooked perfectly competitive prices service amazing too ❤️

Just paid £4.40 for a pint of apple juice poured straight from the carton. When enquired further I was told in a one word answer inflation from the bar keep. After a second look at the menu apple juice doesn't have a price nor labeled on the menu. Just make sure you enquire the price before ordering anything.

Popped in here for a bacon and sausage baguette. Was very disappointed in the baguette. I expected more in it for the money I paid. Which with a coke was over 7 pound and all I got was 1 sausage and one and a bit rasher of bacon. Not value for money in my opinion.

Despite some rude female waitresses on a previous visit, I returned and I'm glad I did. Jasper is a great member of the team. He was the only member of staff smiling and nice to interact with. On multiple occasions he has served me and is just as polite as the last. Jasper saved you guys a customer, thanks to him I will continue to dine here.

The witch is a lovely pub with good food and great staff. I celebrated my birthday there recently. Everyone was very welcoming and patient, with 17 of us procrastinating over what to have. There were some nice vegan options for myself and my partner and everyone enjoyed there meals. 5 stars 🌟

Lovely atmosphere and the food was superb although it was a bit pricey Staff were very pleasant and courteous I had the fish and chips my mother in law had the steak it looked lovely And the desserts were out of this world

Beautiful pub, great garden with play area for children and amazing food. Came after a walk through Newark Park. Perfect end to a lovely autumnal day.

Great pub and great food. Absolutely lovely. The only thing the pub lacks is a slightly larger carpark, but that’s easier said than done.

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.

Excellent choice from the lunch menu. Very well prepared and served to table. No fuss and reasonable prices too! Thank you.

My coffee experience failed at the first hurdle. £4.95 for a flat white. A coffee that could be "enjoyed" over looking a dusty car park, or from a hard looking interior with no atmosphere whatsoever. This is just nonsense. From two previous experiences I had looked forward to sitting on the balcony overlooking the vineyard. What a let down. I believe it is a legal requirement for traders to display prices. Then is none on show for consumers to make an informed decision.
