"Our visit last night Thursday, June was not our first, and it won't be our last. Wadhurst has needed a fine restaurant like this and now seems to have got it at last. The menu immediately strikes you as on par...with the best in London, even if there are only half-a-dozen dishes listed. Last night, my wife chose the fish-of-the day, which was sole with crispy capers, samphire, jersey royals and lemon butter. I chose organic local chicken supreme with garlic, mozzarella, tomato and crushed potatoes. Mine was perfect, my wife's less so. The chef had been a little too generous with the lemon butter, or was it olive oil? There was one other fish on the list, and a vegetarian meal. The wines are very expensive, but there are some excellent beers available, our favourite being Harvey's best bitter. As for the general pricing policy, which has a lot of locals complaining, we think that for two courses or for three is reasonable. And perhaps this is a deliberate ruse to discourage families with noisy children in order to provide a place of rest for others. The waitresses could not be more friendly and polished, at the same time un-intrusive. We like the piped music, which is in the form of soothing songs with the level kept low. The new seats, too, are really cushioned armchairs. I would have liked the complimentary hot bread with butter to be granary, and I would have liked to see a side salad on the menu for a healthier meal. But altogether, every good wish is due to the owners Sussex Pass and the chef Adam Sear. We'll certainly go back, but we'll also keep watching them, for signs of their losing their nerve. Wadhurst, with some shops on the High Streets, badly needs them."

Walked into this pub/restaurant and the welcome from the girls was just lovely. And as for the food it was just great (Sunday Roast).

enjoyed meal with great party of family friends. it was our first time in the restaurant. rosie took care of our needs supported by others. nothing was too much, her customer service was excellent. had a fabulous evening. the kitchen staff has presented... good food well. I'm sure you're worth a visit.

Disappointed with meal, spoke to waitress who said manager would speak to us who had been available until we were unhappy with food. Sold as stuffed chicken (skin and bone no chicken) Manager ignored us for duration of our time in restaurant, very expensive, poor...quality, empty restaurant, need I say more (local who will not return)

eating here is urgently recommended. the service was excellent and the staff was very well known. meat is all local in the house and tortured. we are gluten-free and that was absolutely no problem. we were even served a free taste before the starter made to home gluten-free thymian brot. delicious. we were a few days ahead of location and that was by far the best we enjoyed. the restaurant is completely new and we were thrilled to have discovered it.

Just thought I’d let you know that your food is outstanding along with your hospitality … every element in every single course was treated with the upmost respect … and to source the vast majority of your food within the locality of Wadhurst is something...to be admired … whatever you’re doing you’re doing it right … we had a fantastic lunch and will definitely return … please pass on our compliments to the chef and his team … fine dining at its very best and well worth the lovely countryside drive over

Friends of ours who live around the corner booked the of us in for Sunday lunch ! Apparently they tried to book other local pubs before this one and they were fully booked ! From the off the staff were fantastic , we...were shown to a table in the garden area that was really nice , we all had roast dinner , some pork and some beef , all were really nice and I’m a fussy git , we skipped desert though because there was nothing we fancied on there ! All in all I was really impressed with the pub, staff and food ! Thankyou guys

I booked a table for five for my husband’s birthday eight weeks in advance forward planning definitely, to be sure of getting a table in view of the Sussex Pass’s inclusion in the Muddy Stilettos Awards shortlist. With three days to go,...I got a phone call today to tell me that they had decided to change the menu for Saturday night to tapas and burgers because of a beer festival and did I still want the table? No I did not and I will never again be wanting one there. Absolutely disgusting way to treat customers. Anyone wanting a table for a special occasion: be warned. Your confirmed booking is meaningless. View menu

we ate on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. all agreed that the meals were dull. the sunday roast was the best we had. the sweet was the highlight as they were perfectly cooked. rich gravure, crispy bratkartoffeln and wet pork with crunching. the sticky... pudding was also excellent. on Saturday evening we have tried to combine some of the recommended weeps with our different meal times. the workers were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. our only criticism was the main light above the table was far too bright. Maybe a dimmer switch would create a cosier ambiente. everything else was perfect. we spent the weekend away and the white hard really made our stay special. we hope to come bac...

friends have recently bought an property in wadhurst and suggested we go to dinner here. the restaurant in the pub is called the Sussex Pass. the first impressions of the pub were good. it is very beautifully decorated and has a warm, comfortable feeling. the bar...the weapon was friendly and efficient. the restaurant area was also very attractive. it's small just over covers and I would recommend that they book as we did when it was busy. the same personal covered the bar and the restaurant, but managed to keep on a busy Friday night above everything. not before we were not sure what was to be expected, but when checking the menu it was clear that this was not a simple pub restaurant. this...
