Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Hickstead

Celebrated my birthday with family in one of the dining pods. Cosy and warm given it's February. Staff came regularly to see how things were and if we needed anything. They made it extra special with a fountain candle in my desert and sang happy birthday!!

Great food, great service. Went for a valentines meal, we both loved it and got in a great seats was just very romantic vibes for the night aside from the music. Was a great live violinist walking around the restaurant, but the music that was playing in the background was a bit too clubby and party tunes, so think it would’ve have been a bit better to play more chill and laid back music for the night. However it was a great experience and would definitely recommend checking it out. 10/10 food.

Francesco was a phenomenal server. He could not do enough to accommodate us and those with allergies. His manner was professional but friendly. Great evening and fantastic food.

A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.

The lunch experience could not have been much better. The service was attentive even though the staff were very busy. Food was good, although the ‘crackling’ with the Sunday roast pork was a bit alien.
