Hickstead Restaurants

W had a very tasty meal. I a m not keen on their beer so I had a tasty South African red wine. But why was it served in a large glass with a flimsy stem. It may look "trendy" but it is awkward to hold. That is my only criticism.

Spur of the moment decision to pop in for lunch at Bolney’s restaurant upstairs. Staff are very friendly and quickly got us set up with glasses of the house BdB. Soup of the day came with proper bread and local butter; the crab salad with pickled radishes was fresh and tasty. Main courses sound less interesting than the starters, but the burger and the cod and chips were well executed. We each finished with an affogato that provided a good strong jolt to get us back on our feet. It’s not particularly cheap but we both staggered out stuffed and happy

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.

Best service I have experienced in at least ten years. Wonderfully attentive without overdoing it, and all done with a very sincere smile
