Bars in East Grinstead

“Absolutely love this pub/restaurant. Just on the southern outskirts of East Grinstead, excellent for walks and exploring, the pub is large but nevertheless feels warm and welcoming. Lots of cosy ‘nooks’ + a lovely large open seating area. The staff are really nice and attentive and the food has always been delicious when we’ve visited. There’s an outdoor space with tables to the front (fenced from the road) as well as a marquee at the back with comfy outdoor furniture, a large TV where sports events are regularly shown + heaters for the colder evenings. Finally, the pub puts on a great calendar of events which, now we’ve actually moved closer, we’ll definitely try to join in on Really recommend this place.

Dietary restrictions: They provide lots of gluten free options and even cater for people with nut allergies

Kid-friendliness: We’ve visited whilst there was a children’s event happening in one of the separate areas (lots of dressing up and balloons around), there’s a bookcase full of kids books to borrow, and also toys. There’s a kids menu and every time we’ve visited there’s been small visitors around too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Although not had to test the facilities ourselves, the pub looks like it would be comfortably able to accommodate wheelchairs - and I believe I’ve seen a sign for disabled facilities”

“The Dorset Arms is easily the best pub in East Grinstead.. Darren and his team are always happy to help with last minute parties/celebrations and have helped me and my girlfriend multiple times when the weather has had other ideas about a birthday BBQ etc..
Great selection of food/drinks, super friendly staff and a great atmosphere.. what more do you want or need from a pub.
Fantastic.”

“Delcious and the best marinated food ever. Recommend the mix grill and grill trio fish. Delicate hand crafted cocktails and the baklava for desert ✨”

“Excellent, generous, reasonably priced salad. Nice garden for a hot day. First time, but not, by any means, the last!”

“A great location in East Grinstead. A good amount of seating with numerous TV's showing sport. Some pool tables here too. Both the female staff were friendly and helpful choosing food and seating area. The food arrived in good time, was hot, tasted good, presented well and excellent quality. With so many restaurants in the area, you certainly can't go wrong here. It's perfectly located with the cinema only two floors above it too. Ideal for a bite to eat before or after a cinema showing. I'm in East Grinstead every week and will definitely call here again. Highly recommend.”

“Held our 30th wedding anniversary party here. Great venue, Mary so helpful in getting everything organised. Definitely recommend for a stress free function.”

“Lovely cosy pub with a wood open fire. Lunch time meal for 2. Mushroom risotto and burger were amazing, great service and chocolate brownie for desert was one of the best brownies we've had! Very reasonably priced. Would definitely return ?”

“I was part of a band that played at The Crown - the landlord was incredibly welcoming to us and gave a loads of space to set up in (and we did get quite a few dancing!). The space is great, awesome staff and the TVs huge and great for sports events. I didn't get to try the food but I heard such good things about it I'll come back sometime soon and try it out!”
