The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Sussex South East

Came here for my son’s 12th birthday party after Tullys Escape Room up the road. Beautiful venue (photos here don’t do it justice). Fantastic, attentive staff and service. Couldn’t ask for more. Delish burgers and chips. Only criticism was that there were no vegetarian burgers available for the one vegetarian guest which was a pity, but otherwise an amazing dinner.

My favourite plant centre. Cafe and a farm shop. Been passing by for years and went in on a whim and it’s a total gem!! Compared to the ones in Brighton the staff really stand out as absolutely lovely! So helpful, kind, engaged, caring and efficient, nothing is a problem and this means that I’ll come back time and time again. Great range of things in farm shop and the plant centre is first class with so many slightly different variants that you’d find in the more generic garden centres. Their Roses look great, just wish I had more space in my garden at this point!

We had a Sunday lunch on a rainy January day, sat by a roaring fire, and enjoyed roast beef and a roast pork dinner, very well presented and delicious, served quickly with very helpful staff who brought our dog a bowl of water and a treat. Only improvement would be the addition of crackling to the roast pork would be a nice touch,otherwise perfect.

Went on Easter Saturday (5 adults) and sat down to order our food. It took the waitress 15 minutes to come over and take our drink orders and another 10 for the food orders. When we ordered the food we were told there 'was a bit of a delay' which we accepted. 30 minutes later our starters came out and 1.5 hours after sitting down we had still not received our main meals even though tables that were seated the same time as us and after us had received their meals and had even left. In the end we all got up and told them to not bother with the main meals and they then took the starters off the bill and just charged us for drinks. This is the third time I have been to the Dyke and while the food is always good, the service and speed of food coming out isn't great. Plus it can be a real struggle to park as it doesn't have its own car park and the car park you can use is shared with a view point which is used by dog walkers.

Another amazing visit for lunch with friends. Gravtye is a perfect blend of classic charm and modern sophistication. The restaurant has a light floral garden decor, which overlooks the gardens. Making it perfect backdrop to enjoy the exceptional food. The dishes are imaginative . Each bite was a celebration of flavor, with fresh, vibrant produce and carefully chosen elements that created a beautiful balance on the plate. The food is presented with artful design, almost too beautiful to eat — though of course, we did ! The staff are attentive, professional, and impeccably presented, ensuring everything is seamless and enjoyable. They are knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. They made us feel truly cared for throughout our time there. Cant wait to return!

Amazing food and service. Lovely pleasant decor.

We had a lovely meal. We all had the mackerel pate to start which was delicious. The interior is classy and comfortable. The staff are friendly and professional. It's not cheap, but is probably worth paying for. I'm vegetarian and the choice is limited. For vegans, it doesn't provide any real choice. I think this could and should be rectified as it is easy to modify the menu.

Fantastic restaurant 👌 food 😋 👌 was fabulous staff brilliant very nice helpful and friendly 😀 👍 we could not fault a thing. If you're ever in Barmouth you must eat here.

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

Just popped in for a baguette and like similar posts below I was shocked at the amount of fillings! One sausage cut in half and one rasher of bacon! I don't normally write reviews often but I had to write this one because paying £5.50 for that is shocking, it didn't even touch the sides! Shame as the quality was there!

We had an amazing time. The food was outstanding and the service faultless. The view from the first floor balcony was great. Definitely going to come back. A special mention to our lovely waitress Lauren.

Great breakfast - available to non residents. Good choice with more than the usual options. Quality food and fast, friendly service from a lovely team of servers. Highly recommended.

Amazing carvery best ive had for a while nice chefs and staff

Very nice food. The salad bar was well-stocked and offered a good choice. Children's menu is extensive - even includes steak! My only gripe is that the Harvester doesn't serve decaff tea, and I can't quite understand why not.

Whilst the venue was lovely and atmosphere great the food was lacking on this occasion and not up to standard. We were a group of 6 celebrating a birthday and were expecting great things, alas this was not so, some of the dishes on the menu were not available. My crab scotch egg was very small and not worth £10.95 neither were some of the other starters, the seasonal green veg was just a mixture of shredded greens, mostly carrot, the pork dish was accompanied by the same shredded carrot in a small cabbage but that wasn’t explained to me when I ordered the additional veg side dish. The sea bream and lamb were ok but the accompanying veg let the dish down. The coffee machine was apparently broken so no cappuccino The waitress was very bubbly and efficient and did apologise for the failings. In all not the best experience…..
