"I recently ate at the Horsham branch with my teenage son. We had a starter each. We had a main course. A older blonde lady took our order. Our starters came after quite a wait. When she took our plates the waitress said “you must have been starving you ate them so quickly” we had eaten them at a normal speed! Two small starters do not take too long to eat! After waiting for 20minutes I called over another waiter, he assumed I was asking for the bill, as we had been there so long. I said that, no, we were still waiting for our mains. The restaurant was not busy. He sent over the original waitress who took our order and she stated that because we were so starving and ate our starters so fast, our mains are on a timer and we’d have to wait! We waited 40 minutes from our starter until our main course. There was no apology for the wait. She just said that it was our fault for eating our starter so fast! I found this very odd and have never been given this explanation before. We will not be returning as I found her very rude."

Enjoyed it. Nice table in the window. Great wine. Duck spring roll starter excellent! Honey seafood main far too salty, wouldn’t order again. Just made the wrong choice. Other dishes looked fab. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

We had a two course meal, it would have been three if we had the room. All dishes were packed with flavour and delicately spiced. The Golden Money Bags had a crunchy shell with a delicious filling and the dipping sauce complimented them perfectly, and...

was here last weekend and found the team to very accommodating, helpful and professional. Service was quick, I enjoyed the red curry and steamed rice and chicken wings, all lovely. This is a busy place but with great service especially for a busy Friday night....

Fresh and very tasty food, our favourite Thai restaurant. Plenty of choice too. Nice staff, good service. Waitress called Deer was a lovely lady, great service, waiter called Wot (unsure of spelling) was also excellent waiter/manager. Thank you for a lovely evening meal.

I honestly cannot fault this place for anything, and think they should be commended for everything. We unfortunately had to reduce the table size hours before the booking due to train cancellations and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating about it all. The food...

I have been in this restaurant many times but unfortunately the last two times it hasn’t been as expected… dry chicken satay, small portions, overcooked sticky rice… the yellow curry with crab and prawns wasn’t great, I only found half a prawn and no sauce… It is very clear that they are cutting costs and as a result the quality has decreased substantially. Doubt I will be returning.

"So, the first problem was the booking (and the exact same thing had happened the previous time we arrived at this restaurant with an Open Table booking). I had made the booking online and received confirmation both via email and in the OT app, which I could show at the restaurant. When I made the booking very limited times were available: nothing between 11.45am and 2pm, so we assumed the restaurant would be crowded. When we arrived a little before our 2pm booking, it was three-quarters empty and they had no record of my booking. Since the place was largely empty this didn't matter, but on another occasion it might have done. And maybe one reason the place was so empty was that other potential customers had also seen no availability between 11.45am and 2pm, so Cote had no online bookings. Either Open Table or Cote need to sort out what is wrong with their booking systems as it seems that in Horsham at least the systems do not talk to each other. The food was fine, typical Cote just as you would expect, but the service was disappointing. In a largely empty restaurant one might expect efficient and attentive service but we got nothing of the sort. It was hard to get attention from any server and we had to request some items several times. Someone who from her dress was probably the duty manager, spent most of her time lounging or chatting with other staff members rather than making sure customers got good service."
