"What a delicious roast dinner! It has been a while since I've eaten here. Today, i was with a group of 4 celebrating for a birthday, we ate from the Sunday menu which was a minimum of 2 courses for £32 or £28 if you opt for the classic menu over a roast. The restaurant was packed, and I thought we would be waiting a while for our food, yet they were well staffed, and the service and time waiting for food was spot on. The food wow, the meat was the best lamb I have ever tasted, really good sized portions and came with extra gravy, good helping of veg and some pork crackling, couldn't fault it! For pudding, I had the salted caramel and sticky toffee sundae. Again, it was delicious. Although due to the price, this is not somewhere I could afford to eat regularly, the price complimented the food and service really well and is great for a special occasion. 5 stars for sure. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roast"

"This once great “pub” has become more and more elitist and up itself. I remember the much heralded opening in 2016 as well as giving it a 5-star review and considering it one of the town’s gems. But now, with the place owned independently, it’s trying to position itself as a gastro pub but has entirely lost the pub vibe. Turning-up at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon we’re asked if we’ve booked. Replying that we haven’t, we are told that it’s table service only and they can only squeeze us in to a table outside. So we sit, and we wait. And wait. After 15 minutes with nobody coming out and being told by the trendy young person at the bar that it’s always been table service and it’s every day, we get up and leave. How this place can claim to be first and foremost a pub is misrepresentation. If you want a real pub, there are plenty in HH and the recently opened “Tap” on South Road gives a better choice of beers that rotate more frequently. If you want a decent restaurant, there are better options than the Lockhart, which for the most part hasn’t changed its menu since it opened."

"We visited The Talbot for the first time as looked so nice and cosy from the outside but restaurant felt more like a canteen with no atmosphere, cheap furniture and lighting too bright. Artwork I saw was also pretty pointless and didn't add anything to it! Risotto with red cabbage and goats cheese was tasteless and didn't look appetising at all. The steak in pie was very chewy and inedible! The young lady who served us was excellent though and attentive and the bar to the front was cosy but we didn't stay long as we weren't in the mood for a dj"

"What a great Italian Restaurant in the heart of the village of Lindfield. The staff very attentive and knowledgeable of all the dishes. Great atmosphere and with Halloween soon, the decorations very spooky, perfect for a party. We ordered Gnocchi Pesto Pasta Bolognaise, brilliant and exceptional! To accompany the meal a tasty salad with black olives. Well worth a visit and going back soon Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection Service: Take out"

"Absolutely phenomenal support from the umbrella outside, truly made my night spectacular. It provided me divine protection from the devil of downpour. The staff were delightful and attentive. Not to mention the vast selection of beverages available. In the words of Anton Ego 'Last night, I experienced something new, an extra-ordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau 's famous motto: 'Anyone can cook. ' But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. ' Most pleasureable x"
