Best Seasonal Restaurants in Haywards Heath

This is a treasure and exudes good taste. An instantly warm welcome from interested, intelligent and engaging staff. Good to meet Andrew who’s running it with grace and professionalism, honed from years of experience in Michelin starred places. The conservatory dining area is an elegant, nicely illuminated, well laid out and acoustically friendly area, ideal for conversation and thank goodness, with no mindless music, just the gentle hubbub of gastronomic appreciation. We had lunch with our octogenarian relative. I chose the vegan, butternut squash terrine….an exquisitely delicious triumph, the best I’ve ever eaten and a work of art! My husband’s burger, sumptuous beef, excellently seasoned, in a delightful brioche bun with beautiful chips. My mother in law chose gammon, perfectly tender and a ‘just right’ portion. Afterwards, very good coffee as our digestive. Later, we walked through to the older part of the pub and found a wonderful fireplace and cosy, seating areas that we’ll look forward to trying next time. This really is the nicest pub/restaurant and a discerning gourmet’s choice. We loved it and will be back.

Great food and service....... and for sure value for money. The presentation of each course (we had the tasting menu) was excellent. If travelling by car - parking is on street and suggest patience when looking for a parking space in the village.

From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was lovely and warm. Two fires going. We sat at our table and the service was very good. They have fab mats for dogs to lay on which is a wonderful touch for my dogs. The waitress gave us a bowl of water too. The food was good and very hot. Would definitely come back.
