Family birthday lunch

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 25, 2024via mobile
When families are scattered far and wide, you need a place perfect for those meaningful gatherings. Horsted Place is a hidden gem near Lewes in East Sussex that provides a wonderful, quiet place to dine for special occasions. We had a table of 10 and we could all hear each other speak, the staff were friendly and took care with service. The food was light and delicious, not a heavy 3 course lunch at all. I am sugar free and although not on the menu, the kitchen were happy to prepare a small Sussex cheese board as an alternative to desert. The location is spectacular, gathering with drinks outside on warm days is delightful and the food was really nice. We will definitely make this our regular meet up spot as a family.
Date of stay: August 2024
Room Tip: Good value, quiet, special occasion venue.
Trip type: Travelled with family

This was the fourth time we have stayed in this beautiful hotel and it never fails to impress.

First of all I would like to stress that I totally disagree with a recent review that criticised the decor as they thought it was not in keeping with the building. My wife and I both thought that the recent refurbishment is absolutely in keeping with this building. The decor is stunning; it is extremely well thought out; it flows really well from room to room and the choice of fabrics and colours is perfect. The new decor actually enhances the building’s original features. It is a true marriage of styles.

Our room was a junior suite. Very comfortable and again very well appointed.

The staff, as we have found previously, are all very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. We had dinner there on the two nights we stayed and the menu was varied and interesting, as well as being well presented. Most importantly of course, it tasted great.

One small (hopefully constructive ) criticism I would make is that we were disappointed they have stopped doing the pre dinner canapés, which were always a great start to the evening meal. This may have been a cost saving measure ( as they previously came as a “complimentary” extra) but we would be happy enough to pay for these as an optional extra.

Overall , this was another very enjoyable stay and we will certainly return.

We had a great evening out with friends and had a wonderful evening out. The food was perfect, the meat on the point. The red wine we choose fits perfectly with it. The service is, like always, exceptional, you feel welcome at any time.
For sure I will come again and again and again..:.

Exeptional Service and Food.
Never had better Fish in the Countryside.
We‘ll coming back next year.

After the really well done renovation the Restaurant looks astonishing.

If you are in the Countryside you have to grab ab Drink in the Terrace with an marvelous view.

Thank you for your review. We are very proud of of fish selection on the menu. The Terrace is a wonderful location for a pre-dinner drink or relaxed dining.

Let's do this chronologically. The starter...roasted cauliflower, humour etc. The cauliflower was ridiculousy small, and may have been roasted the day before but the whole thing was fairly tasteless and fridge cold. The main...fish was OK but you have to order sides on top. So ordered chips and broccoli. The chips were very poor, a handful of frozen mc cain chips for £6.... very lazy. The desert...sticky toffe pudding was served cold! Once again probably straight from the fridge. Sent it back and it came with no sauce at all...sent it back and had it taken off the menu. We refused to pay for service charge. Very disappointed with a below average night and would not recommend eating here, poor value and a lazy chef.

I am sorry for your experience and that you found the food underwhelming. I have addressed your concerns with the Head Chef and we have put actions in place to ensure the team do not serve the cauliflower at fridge temperature. We will also ensure sure the sticky toffee pudding warm.
