Updating my review: The Castle Inn is open again! Closed for…read moreover a year due to subsidence caused by a medieval well, the Castle is back and as good as ever. Service is super-friendly and helpful. Food continues to be excellent, and the drinks are on point. I will have a brief moan that the old, adorable snug in the front room has been replaced by a standard dining area, but I'm also just happy to have the Castle back in the community again. Cute as a button, as you might expect for a village whose entire core is a National Trust location, this place is worth a visit.

As part of the Time Out Country Walk #19, from Hever to Leigh, we stopped at this great (gastro)…read morepub for a delicious lunch. We sat in the garden and really enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere...listening to other ramblers talking about their walks through the "Garden of England" or visitors to the nearby castle. The food at the Castle Inn is really good: I had the ham hock stew with root vegetables and my walking companion enjoyed a paté made from duck confit and peppers...served with home-made chutney and granary bread. Apparently, and this is what the owner of the next door antique store told us, the owner at this place used to be the chef in some of London's really happening kitchens...well, he must've had a good education, because the quality of both food and service was really good.

This is a lovely little country pub located in the sleepy village of Lindfield. It dates back to…read morethe mid 18th century and used to offer a dry roof over the heads of the many highwaymen on the main route from London to Brighton. Needless to say it has tons of charm. They have a fantastic selection of real ales on tap and offer some excellent food. I was there a week ago and had the lamb shanks in a Minted Jus Served with Parmentier Potatoes and it was fantastic. Worth a drive to spend a nice afternoon there on a sunny weekend in their lovely beer garden too!

I've only been to the Witch once for an evening meal. It seems to be quite a foody pub and with…read moregood reason. i ordered Salmon with oriental noodles and I received a top class plate of food for just under a tenner. Apparently, it is owned by a guy who was a big footy fan and you have a number of strips mounted on the walls. The drinks selection is pretty broad ranging and there are enough beers and ales on tap for most palates. There was a garden out back for smoking and summer climes, but we elected to eat indoors. Whilst you order at the bar, they provide table service for your food and any additional drinks. I chose a tasty Pinot for the fish and was pleased with the bottle. Some pubs just don't get food wine right, but they seem to be clued in on this front at the Witch. It is a little tucked out of the way, so if you haven;t been before I would suggest a route finder or bringing a sat nav. If you arrive at Haywards Heath station, it's worth an inexpensive taxi fare and well worth venturing into Lindfield for. i would definitely return for a second helping!

This is my third time here...this time with my wife and two visiting friends…read more You book for indoors but can choose to sit outdoors...you go in having chosen your outdoor table number... The hours are short - booking is necessary especially on summer days / evenings...the view is spectacular...but if you don't like chickens running around free, then its not for you The menu is not large but you get good-sized portions...I can recommend the sausages and the lamb Parking yes you can, just, but if not, come out, go left then right...there's the village hall and another area just before there on the left Good reception, good service, good food, reasonable prices We will definitely return

Had a lovely lunch here mid-week…read more Enter the old pub, that has a real community feel - locals at the bar and some hand-carved walking sticks for sale against the wall. A good selection of real ale, sets off the old beams and friendly land lady. Moving with pint in had to the large garden overlooking the south downs way (see photos) we soon had steaming masses of food arriving. My lamb with apricots and apples was sumptuous. The liver and bacon my sister had was adequate, but the fish pie was a real winner, salmon, prawns, white fish in a creamy mash. Mmmmm. By the piles of benches stacked against a barn it looks like it gets very busy in the summertime - and according to some locals it "isn't as good as it was before it was discovered" but all in all a great lunch and think it is a great find. Heartily recommend, hope some other Qypers can discover it too.
