Busy little cafe, good for tea and

Very good. Beautiful place to eat. The afternoon tea was lovely and had far to much to eat and needed a 'doggybag'.However on a Sunday roast was a bit disappointed as was asked how we liked the beef and we said rare, it came out well done. Bit pointless asking.Would still recommend though.

Lovely restaurant with great food & service. Can't fault it.

Food was excellent and the ambience was lovely. The staff were very professional and catered for every need. I had called the reception earlier in the day to request a dessert with special message to be written on it… and it was done perfectly. So thankyou all for that! Also couldn’t get over how good the value for money was here

I know you see a lot of reviews claiming they've just had the best roast ever, but this was actually the best roast I've had.Me and the Mrs go all over Sussex trying roasts and this place is in 1st place.The staff were friendly and approachable, the setting is beautiful and the food is delicious and full of flavour. Highly recommended.

Really lovely end to the week having dinner at the glasshouse. Jack our host was attentive and really friendly thank you. We opted for the two course set menu which was delicious! See you again very soon.

Great place to dine / hangout. We went on a warm day so we got to eat alfresco. Would recommend.

Diner with my other half. The staff are very welcoming and attentive . Waiter Mark/Matt? that took care of us for most of the time did an amazing impression on us with professionalism and care for customers. He made his job look effortless. The vibe of the hotel/restaurant is of coziness and intimacy. Food was alright, we’ll definitely come again!

My wife and I came here for lunch yesterday. We were very disappointed. The service was slow to non existent. It wasn't a very busy restaurant but even so attracting attention from staff was very difficult. Service was very slow. There were at least four different waiting staff going back and forth but no one looked in our direction or seemed interested in us. My lunch was fine and I had no complaint with it. My wife ordered a quiche which was burnt on top. She was offered a replacement and chose something different. I eventually caught someones eye and got the bill, sadly no one came to the table so I walked up to the service point in order to pay. I did mention that the service was poor and the waitress said that they had been busy with a conference next door. (No apology) I was very sorry to have inconvenienced them with our custom. Obviously we know our place from now on and it won't be here. If you have a conference and a restaurant open at the same time perhaps adequate staffing of both is a good idea. I see from a previous review that slow service was a source of irritation. Hopefully management will take the hint and address the problem. This was our first and last visit. First impressions do count.

High expectations for dinner for my husbands 70th birthday. We waited over 45minutes to get warm bread, it arrived cold, sent back and finally after approx one hour had warm bread,butter olives etc. Starters came 15 minutes later. Main course arrived again after a considerable time and beefburger was luke warm, chips ultra crispy and obviously from a packet (my quess would be the same supplier as McDonalds). Sent back but husband and friend had eaten their dinner before a replacement sent. I didn't want to be eating alone so the evening ended with me very cross. Why was there such a problem??? Our guess is the kitchen couldn't cope as they also had a 15+ person birthday party in the restaurant who took priority over other dinners. Expensive, poor quality food and unheated plates. Food left to stand too long before being brought to customers. Complained to the manager as we were leaving,he took our details and promised to look into complaint and ring me within a couple of days after he had spoken to his team. Surprise , surprise I am still waiting for the phone call 11 days later. This restaurant should be ashamed of themselves. My husband's 70th birthday was ruined and to add insult to injury I was so hungry on returning home I had to cook!

Delicious freshly made afternoon tea. They were happy to swap a couple of things from the standard menu. The choc mint mousse was amazing. Lovely friendly staff.

I was amazed at the quality value and imagination of the set lunch menu. The smoked salmon starter was a delight, the braised beef main absolutely perfect and a very fine creme brulee with, and I love it, a top like really hard. Delightful service. Certainly has become a VERY important eating place near Henfield. If you havn't tried it go as soon as possible you will not be disappointed.
