The best restaurants serving Default food in East Grinstead Town Mid Sussex South East

Fantastic cafe. top quality food by a super friendly owner. breakfasts here have become a must do for bluebell railway staff working at East Grinstead and more than likely you'll see us in there around 9am. I adore chilli on chips. I spend every day not breakfasting at the zac shack, wishing I was breakfasting at the zac shack.

This is definitely my "go-to" place to meet friends, especially in the current difficult times. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very efficient. The menu is very good, the surroundings are immaculately clean and the tables well spaced - all of the staff wear masks and orders are brought directly to your table. Payment is contactless. The restrooms are equally immaculately clean and have been refurbished in order to provide as good a 'no-touch' experience as it is possible to achieve. In these concerning times, all of this ensures a relaxing and comfortable experience - a lot of time and thought has quite obviously gone into providing a Covid-safe environment that is as reassuring as possible. Highly recommended.

We had low expectations of this place (it's attached to a goods warehouse) but wow, were we wrong. It's owned and run by an Italian who cooks fabulous food. We had a wonderful lunch - the home made burger and vegetarian pasta were particular highlights - and the tiramisu for dessert was delicious, too. All for a very low price. We will be back!

Excellent service and really tasty food that was a bit different from the usual Indian. I had never been before but would definitely go again.

First time here and first time out for dinner in east grinsted. Great food, great drinks and great service. Sharing platter was insane and staff couldn't do enough to help us 10/10

If you love your Ale come to the Engine room. Apparently they have never sold the same ale twice in the years they have been open. Micro brewery heaven.

Beautiful cafe with some lovely features & welcoming staff. My iced coffee was delicious but my Eggs Benedict came with one piece of wafer ham! Now I’m a bit of an expert with Eggs Benedict and have literally had 100’s all over the place, usually it comes with some lovely thick good quality ham - never has it been served with one meager piece of cheap wafer thin ham - this was at the price of £9.50! 😳 However, my friend’s Eggs Florentine was very good.

went in just before close a bit after 12 and ordered a mega meat special boss said they were running a bit low on one of the meats so he'd just give us as much as possible. we got a massive portion great taste and he gave us a discount down to £15 from £22.50 even though the portion seemed full size as well as throwing in extra pita breads as it was a few of us sharing. Amazing service

Literally one of my top 2 Mediterranean restaurants. Would definitely recommend the lamb ribs with rice 😋 and they have nice cocktails too

I went to this restaurant this evening with my daughter for my birthday. It was really nice inside and spotlessly clean, and the manager of the restaurant welcomed and served us personally. He was such an incredibly nice man, I don't think in 46 years I've ever had more personal or attentive service. But more importantly than anything else, the food was exquisite. We had the Argentinian Steak experience for two, and it was well worth the cost. Truly top notch, and nowhere near what you'd pay in London or a big city centre. As if that wasn't enough, the owner gave both me and my 11 year old daughter a drink on the house for my birthday, and brought out a small Banoffee Pie with a birthday candle that we didn't even order at the end. You just don't get that sort of customer care very often these days. Which is why it was so incredibly sad when he told us he was selling up and closing the restaurant... that in fact it will be closed within a matter of weeks. He said he couldn't make it work any more in a small town like East Grinstead, and given the state of the world today, it's not surprising I guess. The restaurant was empty, apart from us. Even on a Thursday night, this place deserved to have customers. This man has clearly put so much love and care into this restaurant; it's an absolute tragedy that such even great customer focused businesses can't make ends meet in a world where even a weekly food shop uses up most people's disposable income. This restaurant closing will be a huge loss to East Grinstead. My best recommendation to anyone reading would be to get yourselves there ASAP, before it does. Not only is the food great, but this kind and wonderful man clearly deserves the support of local residents.

Hi, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the sandwich platters today. They were absolutely amazing, so fresh and beyond delicious. I am so grateful to you for making them on a Sunday, which is probably your family day. Thank you again. Mandi

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and lovely food.

We really liked the friendly staff, clean shop and prompt delivery. The food blew us away. Absolutely delicious. Thank you. We’ll be back!!

Friendly welcoming staff with great selection of drinks and tasty food at great prices to suit any budget

Enjoyed a quiet meal Thursday evening, there was only one other customer there at the time. There was plenty of seating available if you wanted to go as a large group. Received very good service and the food was delicious and good value. The menu wasn't all that extensive but what we tried was very tasty and well presented.
