"Poor service with food for my birthday . What was annoying is when customers are in after us and order and served and out the door and we still waiting! We were told that they were waiting for the mash at over 45 mins of waiting after my wife prompting twice I am an ex chef and i was mythed! . We Go to Horsham a lot and try all the food restaurants, Nice setting but felt i let down , I understand chefs get busy but we could of been told that 45 mins to hour wait at least would be nice ."

"Booked in advance for Sunday Lunch for 4 as we had not eaten out for some time as the cost of living meant we’ve cut back so we were really looking forward to our treat as we had been to the pub on several occasions before. Sorely disappointed not only with the 1 hr 15 minute wait for our food (the pub was not busy), but also the lack of a sorry from any staff. Normally you pay to eat out as the food is usually better than what you could prepare at home… the Sunday Roast was a basic let down. Heated up and a little dry. Would AVOID for food and just go for drinks. Pub has gone downhill for us on this occasion as it just spoils your day and you get the privilege of paying a lot of money for it."

"There is a lot of good and bad things to say about Southwater country park and their cafe.The park its self its very beautiful and is a nice walk there is a few things that need updating but on a whole its very pleasant, the children's play area gets a bit over Crowded but that is the case in every park there is beautiful swans on the lake and I think it would be a very relaxing place to visit in the summer Went to the cafe for a coffee and a bite and ot was my first and last visit.It was very busy inside no social distancing and only one sanitizer station.They had very loud music playing that made it very difficult to hear the lady taking our order There was 4 staff in there one seemed to be in a tiz not really knowing what she should be doing.Anther one with a mass of messy blond hair lingering in the background.The girl making coffee was very calm and the coffee she made us was ok, I've had better but I've had worse.The lady on the till seemed to lake basic customer service skills and was very abrupt and shouted at us as she thought we was leaving at the entrance but I was grabbing my child who had attempted to run off.We had two lattes a egg mayo baguette sausage baguette and a kids lunch box this all came to £20.30The coffee was passable seemed to have no taste the kids lunch box was very reasonable but the ham sandwich was dry the sausage baguette was soggy and to top our bad experience off the egg mayo baguette had a long blonde hair in it.Because of how busy they was we decided not to make a scene and go somewhere else If I was to visit here again I will bring a pick nick next time"

"Just been to the pub to eat and, despite there being several (5+ tables free with no reserved signs on, and according to the website saying food is served until 9pm, I was told they were not taking any more bookings. I asked if all the tables were booked and the response was “we are not taking any more bookings”. 300 miles from home and we’re now walking into the centre of Horsham, which we don’t know, to find an alternative place to eat!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to me."

"Having had some fantastic meals at this pub when the restaurant was run by the previous chef we had high hopes of the new electro pilot restaurant launched at the Foresters by Matt Gillan. We looked at the menu online which showed a good range of choice so we booked a table to eat on a Saturday night. I ordered the fish and chips described online as battered haddock fillets with triple cooked chunky chips pea fritter and homemade tartar sauce. My husband ordered the cheese burger again with triple cooked chips. What we actually got bearded no resemblance to this! My fish was a very small battered fillet served with French fries not home made and no pea fritter. My husbands burger had a strange looking mayonnaise type sauce in the bun and no cheese and was so sloppy the bun fell apart. Again was served with French fries. We were not at all impressed and our guests did not get their side order of veg. We had to send the burger back which meant my husband got his meal when we had almost finished ours. This restaurant had some great reviews with the previous chef and everything was home made and definitely value for money. It is a real shame as this is a lovely local pub and we often came to eat on a Friday or Saturday evening. Unfortunately we will not be eating again but will still frequent the pub to drink. This review has no reflection on the pub and its staff. Such a shame as it was such a good place to eat locally before."

"We had a family lunch for 13 on Good Friday. We had a perfect day. The lunch was for my Dad's 90th birthday and the attention to detail was fantastic (eg he likes Chianti but they didn't currently have it on the wine list so they just obtained some specially; they also played his 1940s playlist! . We had a semi-private room which was ideal because we all felt part of the sympathetically restored ground floor, with its comfortable bar area, flagstone floors and huge open fireplace. We were also able to have drinks before and after in a decked area behind the hotel which had some lovely flowers in pots.The food was of a high quality, and the service very attentive."

"Amazing delicious beautiful creation for each of the courses of this imaginative tasting menu, definitely worth reserving a table before it becomes impossible! The service complimented the food and explanations were fantastic. We had a great lunchtime experience and hope to come back soon."

"We had been invited to dinner by my in-laws, on arrival we sat down and the menu arrived on a sheet of paper saying Spanish night. Tapas menu, no other food offered, we decided to give it ago even though my mother in law had not been told it was a Spanish night when booking the table. After making our choice the food arrived after about 15 minutes, but only served 3 plates for a table of 4, as this was not traditional tapas that arrived in individual dishes you basically picked 4 from the choice of 6 dishes and it arrived on a dinner plate!! So after working out the confusion with the waiting staff that we were missing a full plate, the 3 that had food started to eat. Luke warm paella, cold chicken and Luke warm meatball, we immediately sent the 3 plates back to the kitchen. A quick bing later and the food came back, and we now had 4 plates of food,warmer and drier than before. We were now hungry so ate up, what can only be described as a very mediocre tapas offering. In the mean time 2people had walked out as had waited too long to be served. A table behind us sent their food back and didn’t want replacements. Having eaten here a few times before, it’s always been a busy friendly pub, disappointing that they need to try silly gimmick nights rather than serve good pub grub."

"The Moon is under new management. There are clearly efforts to improve the paintwork. But, there are no pictures on the walls. The tables were sticky. The carpet is dirty, and chairs scruffy. The Ladies toilet had tape across it, labelled Danger, no entry. The food menu has depleted, with only burgers and pizzas. The burgers were overcooked, bread roll dry. This is the only pub in Storrington that serves food. It has completely lost it's way. This is so sad. Storrington has a large population. Gone are the days of busy evenings in the beautiful garden. The Sunday Carvery is not there. The pub now has a dart board, and quiz nights. Typical of a working man's club. Such a shame."

"I must say that we were positively surprised by this pub. Stepping in felt like stepping in a time capsule back to 1999, which we liked. The pub looks like it has been lived in for a long time. It has a hidden decking facing the church which is much better then the one that faces the road. The food was surprisingly good even you can see that there are not a lot of people opt to eat there. A proper old school pub in a tiny village. I hope it survives."

"It was a cold day and we visited for a cup of coffee and to see the recently opened pub. The lovely open fire was unlit and there was no atmosphere. For an old pub the decor was not suited to this lovely village pub. Another couple came in and asked for mulled wine, however the pub had none! So December, no fire lit, no mulled wine and staff that were not very engaging. We looked at the food menu and we felt over priced. I’m not surprised it’s closed. Hopefully it will re-open soon with someone with a better strategy."

"The Plough Inn is a charming traditional pub located in the heart of Henfield Village. During our visit with my Aunt, it was fairly quiet but the staff were all welcoming and attentive. The lunch menu had a variety of options, although we were a bit disappointed that the specials board, which was prominently displayed, was not available during lunchtime. However, the dishes we did choose - sea bass with new potatoes for my aunt and spaghetti marinara for myself - were absolutely delicious! My aunt even mentioned that she had never tasted better potatoes. We definitely plan on returning, perhaps for dinner next time so we can try something from the specials board!"

"I moved to the area 6 years ago and never visited this bar until the current landlady took over. The improvements that have been made are amazing! The beer is fresh and delicious, the lagers are clean and crisp, and the atmosphere is very family-friendly. There is a great garden for kids to play in and a wonderful vibe throughout. I recommended this bar to a friend for a birthday party and it was a fantastic day filled with music, laughter, and fun for everyone. This pub has become a valued part of our community and a great addition to Henfield. It is in a fantastic location right on the South Downs link. Stop by and give it a try, it comes highly recommended!"

"quality no matter which location we visit. This time, we decided to try out the Pizza Express restaurant in the city center. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious as always. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a reliable and tasty dining experience."

"Not been to this Pub for a long time and yet I only live 2 minutes down the road. Met up with a friend of mine and was impressed on the inside of the Pub. After the drinks arrived we were then left alone for a while choosing our Food which was lovely as hate being rushed. The Food was very good and we both had Starters,my Starter was a welcome change that for once the Whitebait didn't come in Bread Crumbs or Batter. The Main Courses we had were simply fantastic and the Desert I had was very nice,but the only complaint I would have is that there wasn't enough Custard to go with the Fruit Crumble ! Looking forward to having another Meal in this Pub in due course."

"Really lovely, quality innovative food in lovely surroundings. Service good and all staff seemed to have a smile on their face. This is not a cheap restaurant, but you do get what you pay for. One minor criticism would be the wine list. I understand that wine is an opportunity for restaurants to make money, but there were a dearth of options in the £30 £40 range (let alone £20 £30). Also £5 for a bottle of water seems a bit excessive. This is a restaurant to go for a celebration. We would love to go back."

"We visit this place about once a week (most of the time) to get a fresh (yes, I mean freshly baked) baguette. There are a wide variety of fillings on offer, which you can see in the trays in the glass counter in front of you when you order. However, the only disappointment for me is that every time I have been in there has been no mortadella or salami, of which I'm a great fan. On my most recent visit I had an egg mayonnaise baguette, which was very filling and tasty. Time and again we will make repeat visits. We do notice that this place is especially busy around lunch time, especially with tradesmen, and it's important to note that they normally seek out the places which provide great value for money, the best service, and the best quality of lunch time snacks. Recommended."

"Ive had a voucher for over 2 years now due to covid and the team were great it letting me keep pushing it! We finally visited the week before Christmas just gone and what can I say. I was apprehensive after reading some reviews/lack of reviews however it was 10/10. Service was impeccable, the food was moreish and stunning (the sausage roll and egg brioche were our favs! and the fact its unlimited sandwiches make its all the better! The sweet treats werent all to my taste but are they ever all exactly what someone would like? But they looked beautiful and you could tell there was a lot of work and effort that went into them! The atmosphere was delightful and we had stunning views of the gardens which was lovely. I would 100% return in the near future, great job everyone!"

"This restaurant is small and gets extremely busy during lunchtime, so I recommend arriving a little early. The aroma of their hot food is delightful, and it's obvious that they have a large following."
