    Michelin seem to have a formula in awarding their Michelin stars. While I think that they're trying…read moreto be a little more broad-minded in their choices these days, I can still see similarities in Michelin starred establishments that I've dined in I spotted Restaurant Tristan on a previous trip to dine at Wabi across the street. The menu straightaway caught my eye with its array of tempting ingredients cooked in a modern fashion and a perusal of their wevsite confirmed modern fine dining presentation So, when the opportunity presented itself to make a visit to Horsham again, I made a point to book here for dinner. My only regret about this meal was that I was unable to coordinate to share the meal with my almost local Yelp fine dining friend Gemma G Horsham seems to be a sleepy but quite large market town in West Sussex. A slight word of warning that the town is a little mazey and your satnav or at least my satnav can get confused. The restaurant entrance is actually on East Street. There is some street parking available on East Street but I'd recommend aiming for Piries Place car park which is clearly signposted coming into town - there's the added bonus that it's free to park there in rthe evening and it's only a short walk to the restaurant from there For a supporter of local businesses, I found East Street a little depressing in that it's full of chain restaurants but at least they have 2 shining stars in Wabi (Japanese) and Restaurant Tristan to get behind and support I received a warm welcome on my arrival and was shown upstairs to the dining room. I love the old exposed wood everywhere and the restaurant has a lovely historic feel to it. Although it was a wet Wednesday evening, the restaurant filled up quickly through the evening Though Horsham is slightly off the beaten track, I suspect the local population are quite affluent and able to sustain a fine dining restaurant. However, I was very impressed at how Restaurant Trsisan is attempting to cater to all pockets, big and small, through its various menus They have 2 a la carte menus, priced at £20 and £40 for 3 courses respectively. However, I was of course drawn to the 5 course tasting menu, which cost £55. In fact, my love of tasting menus has made me think that perhaps I should change my nickname to 'tasting menu'! It was nice to have a small bowl of oilives to munch on while perusing the menus. The bread arrived first and I was intrigued by the 2 butters, which were already on the table. When I tried the darker one, it was a pow moment - packed with umami flavour and utterly delicious. I had to enquire from the waiter what it was - mushroom truffle butter. It was one of the most delicious things of the evening and it was under-sold by the restaurant - if you do visit and it's still on the table, make sure you try it! 1. Amuse bouche of confit salmon with cauliflower veloute A generous portion. Lovely light veloute with rich salmon. I may perhaps suggest the addition of a little lighter salmon, perhaps as sashimi or lightly seared to keep the lightness of the dish 2. Crab, compressed cucumber, pink grapefruit, creme fraiche A quenelle of lovely fresh white crabmeat augmented by sweet and slightly acidic grapefruit and the creme fraiche adding creaminess. Fine dining chefs are compressing everything at the moment - it makes the vegetable or fruit translucent and concentrates the flavour 3. Cured foie gras, chamomile, prune puree The foie gras came out with an almost parfait consistency - nice to spread onto the toasted brioche with the other ingredients 4. Sea bass, cured venison, celeriac, cep, autumn truffle Nice to see seasonal ingredients truffle and cep on the menu. The salty venison was a good foil for the sea bass 5. Lamb saddle & pastilla, Israeli couscous, smoked aubergine For main course, I chose lamb over partridge. Lovely tender lamb with giant grains of couscous 6. Ruby Murray For those unfamiliar with Cockney rhyming slang, Ruby Murray is curry. Yup, curry for the dessert course! What arrived was a slate of saffron ice cream, coriander rice pudding, almond cake and mango sauce From the photos, you can see that presentation was top notch and very modern. Besides my palate telling me that there was a slight under-seasoning (possibly because I had a cold on the evening that I dined here), the dishes were well thought out and executed. I wasn't surprised to find out that Restaurant Tristan were among a raft of new restaurants awarded their first Michelin star for 2013. People of Horsham, you're very lucky that Tristan Mason decided to set up his restaurant in your town. If you have £20 to spare, please don't spend it in a soul-less corporate chain restaurant. Instead, come here for 3 course of Michelin starred food!

The lunch time menu i is great for a lunch and they also serve it for dinner in the early part of the week which makes a great evening out and a good value for money evening. The food and service have always been good and I will be going back!

Since then, we always look out for a Bills throughout the country on our travels. Three of us arrived, unreserved, for a table. OK, lets say we are 'oldies', and proud of it. The restaurant was heaving which is pleasing to see with this era of coronavirus. We were asked to wait while a table was cleared, cleaned and relaid. Meanwhile a younger couple with their family arrived and were shown immediately to a table, UPSTAIRS. Obviously, the young 'front of the house' lady had decided we couldn't have made it up the stairs. She was probably right and we were grateful. Within minutes our table was ready. A wonderfully comfortable booth. Our orders of full English, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and eggs Benedict were brilliant as was the coffee. It is also great to receive freshly squeezed orange juice and not the thin, watery, 'juice'. Service was second to none by two young ladies. Fast, efficient, friendly yet professional. Pricing is more than reasonable. I am always apprehensive about the 10% service charge. I have no objection to paying it as I would, for good service, leave a 10% tip but does it go to the staff. So many companies now put it into their profits.

The interior is just like the demeanor of the staff: warm, likeable, and feels like home. In fact, it was incredibly difficult to determine where we wanted to dine, because of the sheer cuteness found in the decor and ambiance of The Grumpy Mole. It was just too damn nice outside to take a beautiful, sunny day in England for granted. So, we opted to sit on their patio and enjoy a near perfect day. Knowing how delicious the curry is in the UK, I opted for that choice and my high expectations were met. The chicken was tender and well prepared. The curry flavor was abound but not overpowering, while the naan and rice were soft, not stale. But the real highlight of the experience was the charcuterie plate packed with meats, cheeses, olives, and more. If only I had the fortune to return to England more often, then I would visit The Grumpy Mole on every visit. For now, I will dream of that day and hope it is on a cold, winters night, where the interior of the Grumpy Mole is cozy and warmed by a crackling fire place, of which I am sitting by while sipping on a piping mug of cider.

I got the last space, but I couldn't see if overflow parking was available. The appetisers were very good and beautifully presented. The duck that my friend had looked wonderful. Our main courses were very good. The cod was lovely and the steaks were nice. My steak was a little fatty and I found the gristle very chewy on the end piece. I also like my triple cooked chips a little more crispy, but that's just my taste. The desserts were lovely and again beautifully presented. The ginger cake with chocolate mousse and the ganache plate were particularly good. The table next to us has the beef wellington and I would definitely order that if I went again. It looked phenomenal! Overall a lovely experience.

Mains I tried the pork collar which was very good but the house made black pudding was phenomenal, best I have ever had..inventively spiced, wish I could buy a kilo to take home. Dessert was fig leaf panna cotta, light and flavoursome. Had a coffee with dessert which was also excellent. Its very clear that they try to do everything to the best standard possible. Wish I lived closer.
