The best restaurants in Pound Hill South and Worth Crawley South East

My better half and I stumbled across this venue the other week when only outdoor seating was permitted. Had a pint and tried some of the Indian starters. Absolutely blown away by them so decided to return for a full on meal once indoors was open. So glad we did. I’m of Indian origin and I would say it was the best Indian meal, besides my mother’s, I have ever had in the UK in my life. That is high praise and definitely warranted. This is a relatively new venture and to that end the dining area is being slowly but surely brought up to par with the food. The dinning area is clean and functional but not particularly atmospheric, that is however all forgotten about when the food arrives. The chef takes great pride and on both occasions came to see us. He is very welcoming and has a great insight and wealth of experience in many types of cuisine. So I would throughly recommend this venue to eat and am already planning my next visit to try other dishes on the menu!

Rude and awful attitude. App does not work at weekends and phone not answered. Walk in service is also poor, you are given a ridiculous wait time

Went here for my sisters birthday, what a great venue, fantastic value for money, great atmosphere, food and service, will definitely be going back again.

Absolutely fantastic authentic food great value for money and tastes supreme would definitely recommend great service and fresh food served with a smile cant wait for next one

Above average but there isn’t an above average tab ! We had booked for my father in laws 91 st birthday , which sadly was not picked up on by the waiter when he came us to us despite mentioning and the card up . Not a big deal but would have been a nice touch to wish him happy birthday . There where two large groups close to us , inevitable this time of year but it did make for long waits at every stage , ordering , drinks delivery , meal delivery and even new cutlery and condiments delivery Portions are really big which is great for those that want it of course . It would have been nice maybe an option for portion size , I get that may be a problem but could stop the amount of wastage , three out of four of us left a lot of the food for ours . Nice food just too much of it . the challenge for me was the gravy already poured on food , would rather do it myself where I want it . Also oddly a second separate bowl of gravy was provided . Lovely not to have blaring music playing I must say , just a shame we had noisy group tables around us but that’s not the pubs problem , just be mindful this time of year . The Yule menu I felt was well priced if you wanted two or three courses , some of us only wanted one course , the turkey , but it was two course at about £30 , £33 for three courses . Hence paid £30 for the turkey dinner . Lovely setting and lovely interior , very welcoming . Would go back outside the festive period .

Just had a fabulous lunch at The Coaching Halt. Nice atmosphere, well cooked food (the BBQ cauliflower wings and Fish Goujons went down very well!). Mum’s rump steak was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and Dad loved his apple and cherry crumble. Wonderful service from Kevin - he made us feel very relaxed and not rushed. Charli and Mikey were lovely too. Thoroughly enjoyable all round.

Excellent meal this evening, good value and Jane our waitress was exceptional.Fish and chips was excellent as was the mac and cheese although the portion was on the small side

The Master Fryer in Pound Hill does excellent fish and chips, with delicious mushy peas and awesome homemade tartare sauce.

On approaching the restaurant walked past 3 kitchen staff smoking sitting on the grit bins. Booked table online as thought maybe busy but was surprised to find it quite quiet, took ten minutes to get the attention of the waitress to order our drinks and food and then another 50minutes for me to ask and point out that our food was waiting on the serving hatch for the last 5minutes. And then waited an age for us to be offered the desert menus to de the staff then clearing a table that had been left for an hour. The salad bar was poor and half empty and hearing families being told it would be an hour and half for a table when there was only a max of 4 tables with people eating didn’t seem right. On speaking to a staff member was told it was because they have been taken over by the hawth and half the staff have been sacked and the the rest have been cut right back so was only two serving staff on shift.

We made a big order of pizzas to be delivered at work place. The big boxes of pizzas were delivered in time and very warm - freshly cooked. There’s also drinks available. As we ordered big number of pizzas the management gave us two extra boxes for free. Brilliant 🤩 deal!!!
