The best restaurants serving British food in Buxted and Maresfield Wealden South East

Sadly I can not put a positive review on this pub. Having advertised that they do food from 6pm to 9pm, when asked for menus at 7:30pm, was told that the kitchen was now closed for the evening. Had to ask for three different drinks before they had something I asked for. A very disappointing experience, especially admInhad recommended the pub to visiting friends

Welcoming hotel with friendly staff. Good location very close to train station.

My partner and I love coming to The Hurstwood. Lenka and her incredible team go above and beyond to make every visit special and welcoming. I hosted my best friend’s (civilized) mini hen do here on a summer Sunday, and it was absolutely perfect. Recently, my partner and I came for a romantic celebration dinner, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely at home. We were promptly seated and had a drink in hand within minutes. The wine list deserves special mention—it’s both exciting and thoughtfully curated, with a particular focus on high-quality, by-the-glass English sparkling wines. There truly is something for every palate and pairing. As for the food: We started with the focaccia, which was beautifully bouncy with a perfect crust. The game terrine, clearly made with the freshest local game, was delightful—a perfect portion size, too. For the main course, we had the local beef fillet, which was cooked flawlessly and paired with a beef cheek croquette and luxuriously creamy dauphinoise potatoes. To finish, we couldn’t resist the sticky toffee pudding. It was rich and decadent, served with smooth vanilla ice cream—a perfect end to an amazing meal. We can’t wait to return!

The greeting was warm and friendly from Kat and the other staff. There was plenty of choice on the menu which could be varied to suit in some regard. The meal came promptly and was hot and very tasty.

The waitress / bar maid was very pleasant and engaging. She did everything right. The beers were good. The food however was less than average. We had to send back 3 of the dishes - the kids tomato pasta was inedible. Perhaps the chef was away as it bears no resemblance to the other reviews I can see here.

What can I say the most fantastic meal I have had in a long time and service to match especially Marc (great choice of wine) and serge ( amazing cocktails) this was my partners birthday surprise and it was made so special by this wonderful Evening can not thank yo enough for this.
