I'm so thankful this coffee shop has opened in Haywards Heath. The gorgeous food, the fabulous…read morecoffee and the friendly staff make this the nicest coffee shop to visit for miles around.

Let me just start off by saying that this is one of the worst places I have had the displeasure of…read morevisiting. Now I shall back up my previous statement with the reasons: The food is extremely expensive for the basic selection available, it is also poorly executed, needless to say I have eaten much better for half the cost. The owner is constantly miserable and makes you feel uncomfortable for just being in the field and forest, there is no local/friendly atmosphere like there is in many other small cafes in Lindfield. Speaking of small cafes, the field and forest really is small, with a noticeable amount less seating than many others of the same size in the same village. Needless to say I left the Field and Forest feeling uncomfortable, ripped off and overall disappointed.. However the small amount of good in this otherwise disappointing pile is that the young lady who was also there was a delight and very helpful, if she owned the place I would return, however under current management. I can not recommend the Field and Forest to anyone under any circumstances.

As the name suggests they cook a range of burritos, enchiladas and related Mexican fare. I have only stopped here for a plate of nachos during a lunch break (they offer 10% discount for offices in the area). They were perfectly acceptable, but I have had better in Brighton. I guess they have a bit of a seller's market on the Mexican front in Haywards Heath. They will also open early for breakfast and do deals on bacon sandwiches and a coffee. You can eat in the cafe and they have a number of tables outside also if the weather is nice. The staff were okay, but it seems it's more about the idea of cooking Mexican food, rather than an authentic Mexican with a business idea. This is where the place kind of loses it's steam, it's lack of authenticity. The food is all okay but nothing really stands out on the menu. The cafe is clean, but you don't feel like you are getting a taste of Mexico. If you want to vary your lunch then by all means give them a go, but don't expect to be blown away.

In this case, the residents of Haywards Heath are the benefactors. Grape and Grain took over the premises and offer aslightly different take on the off licence. With a well stocked deli (stocking some amazing local cheeses and pate) and a selection of chilli sauces, chutneys and other tasty bites you get more than cans of Stella or Special Brew. The ale selection at the Grape is likewise impressive with a range of local and quirky bottles that you just don't find in the chain offies. Most will have a discount on buying in three's and my biggest challenge is having to limit my purchasing to 3 bottles! I haven't purchased much wine from here, but the selection is once more of a high calibre, focusing on the wine buff rather than the bargain basement bottles. The shop also hold regular tasting sessions on the weekend and I passed an enjoyable few hours sampling the offerings of the Fallen Angel Brewery. The Grape's staff are really friendly and always up for a chat. It's the kind of shop where you end up on first name basis and can easily become one of the locals. All your other expected supplies from tobacco, mixers and such like are on sale and they will also wrap your purchases into gift packs if you want to give an alternative present to a friend. All in all, this is what a food and drink shop should be and you can tell that it is run by lovers of the finer things. Extreme top marks for the Grape and Grain!
