The best restaurants in Horsham South East

Went for our first meal here last Friday, food was brilliant, chicken wings were massive! Couldn’t fault the service. This will be our new ‘go to’ for meals out. The only place in Horsham I know of that serves hawkstone.

Popped in for a drink with friends while on a dog walk. Lovely atmosphere with open fires and old wordly style due to tge low ceilings and beams. Dog friendly with a lovely garden.

Came for afternoon tea, absolutely unreal savoury selection (fish finger sarnie, chorizo crumpet, the most delicious sausage roll, avocado & bacon bagel). Delicious scones with loads of cream & jam. Cakes let them down but because they were just all a bit too similar (all sponge cakes except brownie). Would’ve loved something to break it up/ a choice of cake (carrot cake/pastry or a tart would’ve made it 5*). And quite expensive @ £35 without any booze. Really friendly staff. We visited on a stormy day and it was cold when the door opened so request a table upstairs if possible! Such a lovely coffee shop vibe, clean toilet.

Third Billingshurst pub visited today and by far the most welcoming. Good ale selection. Friendly bar person that cared about beer quality and jolly locals with dogs. Excellent would have finished my beer but had to rush for a train.

Just ordered my first takeaway. Had one of the meal deals which was incredible value for the amount of food included (under £9 for main sized curry and rice) and tastes delicious.

Very nice dinner for two here. Pam looked after us, she was exceptional. Highly recommended!

Really nice food, serving staff friendly and helpful.

Myself and my family have been coming to Darchinis since we moved to the area (11 years ago) - and we can never fault the quality of both the food and the service. The food is always amazing, fresh and hot - and the staff are so lovely and polite. They recently won an award, and we were all so happy to hear it - it couldn't have gone to more deserving people. We will carry on coming here for hopefully many more years :)

Still closed despite taking bookings can’t see them opening again

A group of us from U3A played skittles followed by lunch. Food good. Skittles an experience!

When we come to visit my parents we always look forward to having our fish and chips it's always fresh and tasty

Always happy with breakfast. We have been here few times now,try different styles and always very tasty

Delivered on time and hot. Really good value. I ordered the Naga Bengal with lamb, which I'd never had before but will be again. The smell of spices hits you as soon as you open the lid, and it's hot without being overpowering. Plenty of meat, which was tender and cooked well, even though I prefer it cut into larger pieces. There are finely chopped onions, peppers, and thick cut garlic visible in the sauce. It all felt very fresh and was finished with a generous coriander garnish. The pillau rice was cooked perfectly and really fragrant. I also tied a bit of the tikka masala which was creamy and thick with a coconut flavour. Garlic naans were large, my only issue would be that that they were a little dry. I like naan bread thick and soft, but they tasted good and there was lots of sauce to mop up. Overall extremely impressed with the quality, price, and friendly speedy service.

Fantastic pub with a great selection of gluten free food on theirs menu's. Very well looked after every time we visit and love the care the team take with food allergies like celiac.

First time here tonight craving a sit down Chinese meal. After deciding not to drive up to our usual in China Town we found China Brasserie, this appears to be one of the only sit down Chinese restaurants near Crawley. Booked a table easily over the phone, parked in the council carpark 1 minute walk away, £2.50 for 2 hours, free after 8pm. Shown to our table upstairs promptly upon arrival. The restaurant is in a quirky old chocolate box cottage, think low ceilings, narrow stairs, uneven floors and exposed beams; if you're over 6ft prepare to duck every time you stand up. The interior is odd for a Chinese restaurant, think old cottage with Tudor beams and the odd Chinese decorative banner or framed design stuck up on the wall. Service was a mish mash of attentive all the way to having to pop downstairs to find someone. For starters we tried a mixture of the sticky pork ribs, prawn crackers, 1/4 crispy duck with pancakes, vegetable spring rolls and prawn toast. They forgot the prawn toast which we ended up having with the mains. Mains we had sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice, of which there was barely any egg to be seen, and chicken chow mein which came with the thin noodles which it said nothing about on the menu, and was drier than the Sahara, no soy sauce spared here! The sweet and sour chicken was standard, we'd eat it again portion size on the smaller side. The same can't be said for the chow mein or the rice. We also ordered the broccoli in garlic butter, this was delicious but not worth anywhere near £9.15!! The prawn toast was lovely, with full size prawns instead of the usual prawn puree, but at £8.60 for the equivalent of one slice of bread, we wouldn't order it again. On to puddings. We ordered the ferrero rocher, passion pot and what was supposed to be the Monster Toy (Strawberry ice cream for kids), instead we received the Punky Toy which was vanilla, but our daughter had already eaten half before she informed us so we didn't bother saying anything. I was informed by the person eating the passion pot that it was nice, but tasted more like vanilla than mango. For all of the above including 3 cokes (Small glass bottles) we paid £103.95. The atmosphere was strange, one minute there was Christmas music playing quietly, the next there wasn't, then we could hear it playing from downstairs, then suddenly a rap song came on, then back to Christmas music. All in all, with the simple mistakes made and the odd dishes, including the overpriced dishes, we won't be back and will opt for China town instead next time.
