"I hate to leave bad reviews but sometimes it can offer management feedback to rectify certain areas. We had booked prior and our table was ready however when 15 of us arrived it was a good 5/10 minutes stood at the bar (3 staff) before we were even acknowledged!!Waitresses I will say were very friendly polite and professional. 10 of our party had chosen the carvery. Which was priced accordingly and worth it’s price but very very bland????When the other 5 dinners turned up it was infact only 4 as 1 had been forgotten!!! They had to wait another 10 minutes by then everyone had finished. Apologies were made and the meal wasn’t charged.The main menu meals were just average, but the worst of all was the cremated mushrooms in the bowl of sweet potato fries!!!! I pointed out to the waitress that perhaps the chef may consider changing his oil???? I’m afraid we would probably not return"

I haven't been to every pub in Sussex and Kent but of all those I have been to this is the worst . Dark and Gloomy when you enter but also a new extension with plain bare walls and glass ceiling. This new part is...

Nut roast for vegetarians was nice and a nice change from the usual poor and lazy offerings given to non meat eaters. Good choice on menu. Plenty car parking in village car park should the pub parking areas be full. Good disability access although bit of an incline to get in via back. Stunning views across countryside at back garden area. It looks a bit run down inside.

Went here on Saturday 16th November with my best friend for a meal. Used to use this pub couple years ago but stopped as had gone down hill and very dirty. Well what a huge improvement.Lovely manager running it and it is so clean and tidy now.Very welcoming and food was lovely.Was showed the rooms as they used to be so dated and dirty and they currently have 4 out of 8 done and what a transformation. They are modern, clean and spacious.If you came over a year ago and never went back well I well recommend you return now as new owner and mangement.You wont be disappointed.

We stopped on a whim and I’m very pleased we did.When we walked in we didn’t expect much as it seemed a little tired.We were given some menus and the bar staff were very attentive.The prices and quality of the food are above expectations!My partner had the bacon and cheese burger and I had the slow cooked pork belly. I would highly recommend both! The burgers are locally sourced and for £9.95 with chips and onion rings you can’t complain. The pork belly was a huge portion, crispy crackling and pork that pulled apart from being slow cooked.We would definitely stop here again if we were passing through Burwash.

Visited for lunch recently, the meal was okay however my salad leaves were limp and best past there best before date! I heard the place was having a huge overhaul, seems this is to the outside only! Inside is grim, absolutely filthy, stained bar stools, sticky tables, thick brown grime/dust all over the radiators, the place really needs a good clean up inside! Not to mention the high chair, looked like it had never had a good clean, I’m not a clean freak but there’s no way I would be happy to have my baby eat from that.It’s a real shame, has good parking amazing views, the food isn’t bad, it just needs a very good deep clean and a re vamp!

A small group of us (7) came here for lunch on Saturday, I had contacted the manager to request booking a table which she did with no worries and even kept it for a considerable amount of time whilst the rest of our party were stuck in traffic!The majority of us had burgers which were amazing, cooked beautifully and so so tasty! The food has really improved here in recent months and the atmosphere is great, a real country pub!!! Fires burning, football on should you choose to watch it, friendly locals and good food and beer! The manager and her team are friendly and accommodating and can’t do enough to make you feel welcome! Will definitely be returning soon!
