My daughters travelled down for mothers weekend so we booked a table in the restaurant for 7:45. We finally left after 10:30 having had a terrible evening.
The main problem was the lack of availability of food.
Wagyu Burgers Not availabe
Terrine Not abailable
Chicken dish Not available
Duck Not available
Cod Lion not available.
This made a mockery of having the menu online as several of us new what we wanted when we arrived.
Add to this lack of availability, the service was shocking, having to wait nearly an hour before our order was taken then another hour for the food.
This is so disappointing as we live local and the actual pub and restaurant look so nice.
Cannot see I will ever have dinner here again, as this is not the first time we have had problems.

Buon Appetito

Reviewed By Monty M - Hassocks, United Kingdom

I'm not a huge fan of Italian food outside the home because I eat enough domestically, but my wife is a big fan of this restaurant.
We went for an early supper around 6.30pm on a Sunday, which was the perfect time because the restaurant is very popular with locals and they started to arrive after we'd ordered.
Prices are neither too high or too low, but £70 for two (and a teenager) without a starter, alcohol or pudding was a little pricey.
I nearly gave Buono Appeito four stars because the service was excellent, but I found the food to be adequate, more than delicious.
However, for the local area, this is a good place to eat. I'll be back, my wife will doubtlessly demand it.

Reviewed By Jo P - West Sussex, United Kingdom

This restaurant never fails to impress. The most difficult thing about going there is trying to choose what to have, as it all sounds so delicious!
A beautiful combination of flavours, impeccable service, I didn't want the meal to end. From start to finish, everything was a real treat.
Jodie and James should be immensely proud of what they are achieving here and, in my opinion, nowhere else in the area compares.
I can't wait to go back.

The Acorn Beefeater

Reviewed By anthonydoug - Burgess Hill, United Kingdom

What could be simpler than eating breakfast at a restaurant that is specifically providing breakfasts!
There were no more than 4 tables occupied in the large restaurant, but it was still necessary to say "I'll try to find you one." when asking for a table for 2.
Only two mugs at the buffet, tea mugs, not us! We only needed 2 so not really a problem. The real trouble started when the only water dispenser would dispense. This was because the catch had broken. Rather than provide a new dispenser, the Chef decided to pour from the broken one, which had clearly not been designed to pour. The end result was my friend having extremely hot water poured over his hand and all over the buffet table and floor.
Even when we went for a second mug, a fresh pot had replaced the broken one but this had not been locked.
Not impressed!!

Reviewed By alanguestavg45 - Burgess Hill, United Kingdom

My wife and I booked, along with several of our friend a pre-Christmas dinner and get together. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the meal was excellent. The place was very full with several works parties taking place. Even so the food was piping hot and the service first class. I would highly recommend the Thatch and plan to return in the near future.

The Oak Barn

The inglenook Long bar and sofa areas make this area a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a chat with friends any night of the week. It is a great place to pop in for a drink with a huge variety of wines, beers and spirits. For summer days and enclosed courtyard is a real sun trap with water features and foliage in abundance, making it a great place to spend some care free hours, or you may prefer the patio area which is quiet, relaxing and overlooking the comings and goings of the bar, making the perfect place to people watch! In addition, it's an ideal place to spend your lunch breaks with easy and free access to parking, so you won't be late for work. There is a great range of baguettes, wraps, salads and hot bar meals to suit your tastes. There is a huge range of hot and cold- light bar meals served from 11:00am-9:30pm as well as our main restaurant menu which will be served from 12:00pm-3.00Pm and 6:00pm onwards. The Bar and Specials menu as well as the Main restaurant can be served either in the Bar or main Restaurant, giving you great flexibility on where you would like to eat. Part of the restaurant can be portioned off and used for private functions. The focal point being an old sandstone Fireplace makes this area would provide ideal conference facilities for up to 25 people comfortably. The great oaks of England admirably sum up the nation's character of quality and solid dependability and they are what you can expect when you visit the Oak Barn Bar and Restaurant. The original 250 year old barn has been lovingly restored using old oak beams, many of which are salvaged from the great wooden ships of nelson's day. Complete with several authentic wagon wheel chandeliers, Old Sussex Sandstone and Inglenook fireplace, stained glass windows, oak floors additionally, perched charmingly above the main dining area is an oak gallery which is already a favourite spot for diners.

This friendly pub has a great menu for mid week dining. The goats cheese starter was light & appetising as was my companions soup. Main courses of chicken curry & salmon encroute were filling, so that we didn't feel the need for a pudding. The curry was quite mild, but that's a matter of taste. The salmon was moist & delicious. Will definitely return & would recommend this restaurant.
