"I went in with my family today for a Sunday roast really exited as I haven’t had one for a while and I was really surprised with the customer service as well as the food. From the moment we walked in after reserving a table and being told it was externally busy and wasn’t sure if we could be accommodated but we’re grateful to be squeezed in, the pub was nearly empty and we’re met with a member of staff who didn’t even acknowledge us, we said our names and the waitress said nothing but walked us to our table no smile or any contact, which was really weird. We sat down and she walked away. This happens through the whole experience and I noted it was the same with the rest of the staff on each table. Still really excited for my roast I had high expectations, but the food was bland and surprisingly not edible, I had the chicken and it was rock solid and couldn’t even cut into it, it was so dried out! The swede mash had seeds in it and just seemed fussy and ruined it.. all in all it seemed very over priced for what was received, add in terrible customer service and it was a shocking meal experience. I was going to speak to whom I assumed were the owners about how I felt but they seemed they were in the same attitude as the rest of the staff. Extremely unapproachable. I definitely won’t be eating there again and only writing this to suggest people avoid a terrible atmosphere while dining.."

We popped in for a light lunch, whitebait , loaded potato skins with cheese and ham and pate. Decent enough to be fair and well priced

This is one of the finest places to visit, the staff ,food and the general environment. Lovely beer garden which is part of the original grounds. Brilliant.

J and I first met when we were 8. This was a mini-reunion though we have met in a larger group on several previous occasions. Beer battered halloumi and vegan tagine. Both excellent. Followed by chocolate brownie and chocolate sundae. Ditto. Attentive service.

I had made a reservation for a table at the pub in a specific area that I preferred. When I arrived with six others, including children, I was informed that the table I had booked was now occupied by a larger group. We were moved to a different table without much consideration or friendly customer service.

We were visiting the area for a wedding and grabbed lunch here before checking into a hotel. Just looked it up and Google maps. Staff were very friendly, food was quick to be served and very good. Nice bitter shandy with the local bitter, although thought the price of a bottle of coke was a bit steep! Overall, would recommend!

We arrived a bit early for our reservation and were seated promptly, but ended up waiting 40 minutes for our food. The food was frozen and not freshly roasted, which was disappointing for Easter Sunday. I ordered the pork roast, which was dry, with cold carrots and overall bland. I didn't say anything at the time because we were with friends and didn't want to cause a scene, but I definitely won't be returning.

My dining experience at this restaurant on Easter Sunday was not relaxing. I had booked a table for two to meet a friend who lives nearby. Despite the restaurant being fairly empty at 1pm, I was unable to change tables from the one that was reserved. Just as I had taken off my coat, we were asked to place our order. The roast we ordered was average, nothing special. I felt uncomfortable as it seemed like the manager or landlady was watching every bite I took. It felt off-putting. There was no rush to clear the table for another sitting, so it felt unnecessary. After our meal, we stayed in the bar area for a chat, and I must say the bar staff were friendly, which is why I gave it a 3-star rat...

Ratings purely on the following... So if you wish to laugh and have fun don't come here. Unbelievable that one table, of five grown up, professional, courteous people cannot chat and reminiss, without being asked to keep it down! as we were disturbing an empty (possibly three other customers), pub. Sometimes people shouldn't be so quick to tell customers to be quite when they are out. Three at this table, myself included, were reminiscing about my grandparents with a friend and her partner. The three of us that were there, tragically lost a son/brother last year and we don't all live in the same place don't see each other that often. Sitting down with friends, relaxing and chatting was broug...

"I sat here on Sunday with the roast family for lunch and enjoyed my meal, which was beef. I would say that the bark was very tender, and there were many meerrettich. besides the roasted carrots came both greener and red cabbage and a carrot. this is next to a yorkshire pudding that was a good size, although I had much bigger, both at dunnings mill and at red lion. ideally, I would give this pub 3.7-3.9 stars. that is the heavy and flesh not as hot as they came out, and the heavy, although they are a deep brown in color, not so tasteful. in this sense I wouldn't be the following positive: all employees were very nice and the service was the best I had in a pub. they always collected the plates immediately, offered to get drinks, and were quick to take our orders. eating came very fast, and that was when it was very busy. the desert I had was also very good: apfel and rhubarb nut crumble with custard. I would recommend it."

"We go to Gravetye 3 or 4 times a year if we can and have been going for many many years over the tenures of several owners. It 's always a complete joy, and the current owner has done a fabulous job of getting the right people in, both inside and out. Tom Coward, the Head Gardener (ex. Dixter) has a vision and a long term plan that make continual visits over an extended period a joy every time we visit we are surprised by the continual changes we learn so much and the garden staff are super helpful and willing to discuss what they 're up to and why. The amazing oval massive kitchen garden that supplies the hotel is a source of wonderment and not to be missed. A visual and culinary feast. We 've never stayed there as we live reasonably close, but have eaten in both the old and new dining rooms many times. The new dining room sits harmoniously between the wings of the manor and although a very modern glass and steel construction, the inclusion of a fabulous antique (and uneven) parquet floor (ex. some french chateau) softens the feel and acoustics, making the room almost intimate. The floor to ceiling windows bring you right into the garden, even in the foulest of weather it 's a triumph of design. Then there 's the food. Apart from the presentation, which is exquisite, the flavours and textures always bring a broad grin, however grumpy I am! This is absolutely first rate British cuisine; the kitchen under Head Chef George Blogg is to be commended, as are the garden staff producing the freshest of produce. I occasionally try to photograph the plates, but invariably find I 've forgotten that rather crass move and have just launched in! Must also mention the front of house staff. Perfectly presented and mannered, they know exactly the boundary between staff and guest and make you feel completely comfortable and relaxed there is nothing stuffy or obsequious about Gravetye everything is pitched just spot on and nothing is too much trouble. We were there today for a birthday treat, but will be back again soon for a post family wedding get together. Cannot recommend too highly just an excellent few hours, whatever the weather. Walkability: Lots of paths. The lower areas are easy for those with limited mobility, however it might be tricky to get up to the kitchen garden if you 're not great on your feet. Food drinks: See my review."

"We had a wonderful experience at this charming pub filled with interesting trinkets to admire. The hosts were fantastic and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. With a group of 8 (7 adults and a 2-year-old), we stopped in after a day of pumpkin picking in search of a place to have a meal. The food was outstanding, freshly prepared to order with generous portions. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. The price per person ranged from £10 to £20."
