Restaurants in Haywards Heath

Red Lion Handcross

A nice pub with a friendly atmosphere, I ate in the bar (through choice with my book) but the restaurant had a good atmosphere. Food was good and felt good value. The staff were friendly and attentive , I hope I remember names correctly, but Charlotte, Emily and Andrew were brilliant and even gave good book recommendations! Will come again,

Sam's Fish Bar Restaurant

Solid chippy. On the more expensive side in comparison to others but you paying a premium for quality. Friday nights are particularly busy, but they get through the q quick enough

Miller & Carter Haywards Heath

Miller & Carter - Haywards Heath.
on Mother’s Day Sunday 15 March 2026.
We experienced the Sunday combo of Chicken, Lamb and Steak for the first time. What a great option with all the extras.
Angie was our waitress, and was extremely welcoming and attentive throughout. She even remembered conversations and wished my wife good luck with her up coming interview as we were leaving. Having such a great waitress makes the visit so much better. She deserves a waitress of the month award!

Elite Bar Kitchen

Very nice food, I had a combination of lamb shish and kofta. Both meats were very nice, the shish was especially well flavoured. I really enjoyed the side salad too! And homemade Ayran. All very good, thank you. I will return!

Bolney Wine Estate

Wonderful breakfast at the Bolney Wine Estate this morning. Excellent service and wonderful setting overlooking the vineyard. The choice of breakfast is also great, from the Bolney Breakfast (full English) through to a wonderful Continental Breakfast. Great coffee too. A delightful treat to start a Bank Holiday.

The Bolney Stage

Fantastic evening with family at The Bolney Stage. It was our first visit. The food, service and ambiance were superb. Will definitely return in the near future. Thank you.

The Red Lion

Excellent meal - would have been good value even without the 25% off the whole bill!! Perfect roast dinner and excellent service. Couldn’t fault and nor could our friends! They’re getting to Ember Spp!

Peckish Cafe

Found this place whilst on a trip last month. The welcome, the speed of service and the excellent breakfast comfortably exceeded my expectations. Would definitely come here again if I happen to be in the area.

La Campana (Spanish Tapas Bar)

Had my Christmas works do here last night and the food was absolutely amazing! I can be quite a fussy eater but I would recommend this place 100%! And I will definitely be going back! The staff are so lovely and professional! They cater for dietary needs ( we had 1 allergic to alcohol and 1 allergic to dairy) the atmosphere was great!
Thank you again for the amzing food!

That's Amore Italian Restaurant

We ordered a last minute takeaway order for 25 pizzas for a birthday party.
The whole team were fabulous, really really helpful. Not only in the restaurant but also helping us with our order to the car. Very attentive and friendly. The pizzas were absolutely delicious! Really grateful, thank you for your last minute help, super hospitality and delicious food!

The Star

An absolute gem in Haywards Heath!\n\nThe Star is hands down one of the best pubs in the area. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who go above and beyond to make you feel at home.\n\nThe food is top-notch – proper pub classics done brilliantly, with generous portions and loads of flavour.. Great selection of drinks too, from well-kept ales to a solid range of gins and cocktails.\n\nThe beer garden is a real highlight – spacious, well-kept, and perfect for sunny afternoons with friends or family.\n\nIf you haven’t been to The Star yet, you’re missing out. A proper local pub that gets everything right.

Harvester Beech Hurst Haywards Heath

Had a lovely meal with fantastic service by a lovely gentleman called Luke, very friendly and extremely professional only to be told at the end of the evening that he's new to the team...very impressed..food was delicious as always, never disappoints, highly recommend.

The China Brasserie

Love this restaurant. It’s a proper family restaurant run by the owner and his lovely wife. They have high standards. The food is delicious, served piping hot to the table. We had a few requests for starters and it was presented with no fuss just as we liked it. Faultless. We’ve taken many friends who now return there, like us, time and time again. Service with a smile and delicious Chinese food too. Highly recommend. Thanks Wingo & team.

The Sloop Inn

Really good pub. Fairly recently refurbished facility feels clean and fresh. Very good menu and quality of food very high. Service friendly and efficient. Dog friendly. Easy parking

Mr chippy

Liam and the team turn out the best fresh fish and chips from their takeaway. Always excellent service. They know all their regular customers and their orders. So friendly and efficient.

Burrell Arms

We had such a great time at the Burrell, such great atmosphere and vibes! I’d like to specifically shout out summer she is the best server I’ve ever had and pours a banging hazy day. Will be back again !!!!

The Talbot

Echo the last couple of reviews. Lovely created food, great staff (thanks Keegan and others) Big table, lots going on. Everything was under control, nothing too much hassle. Thanks everyone. Highly recommend!

The Jolly Tanners

Came here on Sunday and husband made mistake for booking. The table booked for the following week.
We almost back home as the place were crowded and no table left. As I need yo go back to Bali the next day, then the lady at the front really helpful get us a table and out us in the corner near the bar.

Food was delicious. Service was fast.
The parking area not so big but the lawn look well maintained.
We will come back again and try another meal.

Spice Village

Always eaten in, not had a take away.I went here for my birthday meal last night and it was a table of 8, the service was amazing, all food came at the same time - of course tasted amazing as always!They were happy to bring out a birthday cake, gave us a free spirit of choice at the end.Would recommend this place to anyone who loves an authentic curry. (Chicken Bhuna is incredible)Thank you to all the staff as Spice Village for making my birthday even better last night.

The Farmers

Great big plate of roast dinner, 3 different meats, very generous plate of proper crunchy roasties, crackling and parsnips, red cabbage and carrots.. delicious!! No room for pudding unfortunately but we would defo go back again!

180 Degrees Bar & Kitchen

Had a fantastic experience at the 180 Pub yesterday! The staff were attentive, friendly, and made everything feel welcoming. Great service really made the visit enjoyable—highly recommend

The Snowdrop Inn

Lovely friendly country pub with very nice food. Small pub that offers a restaurant area, ample parking, some seating at the bar & plenty of outdoor seating to the front. Really nice little pub with a good range of drinks.

Kashmir Balti

Absolutely amazing ? as an Indian food lover l can highly recommend, surpassed all other restaurants in the area for quality and value. Will most definitely use again

WOLFOX BROADWAY

Gorgeous Cafe, friendly staff and delicious brunches, catering also for vegan and gluten free diets! Ive had the vegan breakfast gluten free twice now!

Coffee is also v good

Pancakes look fantastic from what i have seen and there is always a lovely selection of cakes and treats on display!

Balti House

Everything you want from a curry. After years of accepting 6/10 curries, this place has restored my faith. The jalfrezi sauce is the best i’ve ever had. Moreish as hell.

Tamasha Lindfield

First but definietly not a last visit. Food was divine, nice variety with lots of flavours. Generous portions.
Amazing huge fish tank. Our 11 years old was more interested to watch fish than play on a phone.

Disapointed that we didnt go there before.

Canton Kitchen Hayward’s Heath

We have ordered from here lots of times. The food is always very nice. Portions are good and it is made quickly. The Chow Mein and Sweet and sour pork are always a good option. The service is also good. ?

Nizam Indian Restaurant

I come back to Nizam time and again, great wait staff, lovely food and nice atmosphere. You can tell the guys who run it are passionate about food and it’s all made fresh, highly recommend for all occasions.

Zizzi - Haywards Heath

We were celebrating Mother’s Day and a 75th birthday. Angus made it a very special occasion! ?

Dietary restrictions: Very helpful with allergies

Kid-friendliness: Great colouring and very accommodating

Pizza Express

We went for an early dinner today, there was 4 of us with two kids. We called ahead and our table was ready with the high chairs by the time we got over. We got lucky the place was a bit quiet and we beat the dinner rush.
Pizza was good
We got a side of Mac and cheese for the kids, good flavour for the kids, the adults
Found it a bit bland
Overall service was great

The Witch Inn

I attended this establishment with some colleagues today, the venue was to say the least impressive. We ordered muscles, and a fish of the day this was exquisite and favoured by others. The wine selection was very satisfactory, Hillary was particularly impressed with the red. All together an impressive pub in the heart of Lindfield . May I add the staff were very attentive and the landlord was a pleasure to meet.

The Bent Arms

I have been visiting The Bent Arms for years. The food is exceptional and so reasonably priced considering the quality. Fresh bread everyday. Friendly staff. Great garden that my daughter loves running around in. Just gotta make sure you book they’re always busy.

The Half Moon Inn Balcombe

Friendly local pub. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fresh beer. Harvey’s Best is excellent. Food is good quality. Good stop on circular walk around Ardingly Reservoir.

The Green Man

I ate here with my family for an impromptu, late lunch. My teenagers chose adult burgers, which the loved and looked delicious. The server quickly dealt with the error in one of our meals. Service throughout was excellent, friendly yet professional. Spot on! I’d definitely recommend this pub for food quality, choice and service.

The Cowdray Arms

What a fantastic place, we had the 3 course menu for £22, absolutely wonderful and very nice sized portions, friendly staff. Perfectly located to visit after going to Tulleys.

The White Harte

This lovely little pub is a real gem. It's got everything you could want from a village pub: Friendly, good drinks, lovely Thai food, games room, outside space and a little garden. Highly recommend a visit.

The Half Moon

What a bunch of absolute legends the owner and the people of this little village are, we were doing a 180km bike ride from Toddington to Brighton and on our last 21 miles left we had a stop and these guys pulled through with drinks and food to keep us going, I would highly recommend, lekker man.

Flinders Coffee

The re-fit has done wonders for this place. Before it felt far too cramped. Now the dining area feels more spacious, comfortable and light. I had the English breakfast. While I usually prefer larger format full englishes, I have to give credit where credits due: every element of this breakfast tasted exceptionally fresh and high quality. The coffee was also delicious. The service was cheerful and friendly. Our visit was a great treat all round.

Peking Chef

Delicious food, no waiting to collect, friendly service, complimentary prawn crackers and situated in a quaint village. Excellent value for money too. Cannot fault, highly recommend!

Fine Baps

10/10 - Enjoyed a granary bap with chicken and bacon, absolutely delicious- Crisps, drinks and cookies all to compliment, what a fantastic lunch spot and reasonably priced. 10/10, will certainly be back!

Domino's Pizza - Haywards Heath

I hesitantly ordered Domino’s for the first time since 2019, this was my first time ordering it in Haywards Heath too. The food was brilliant and left me wanting more! Thin and crispy meteor pizza was hot and delicious. I recommend it! The wedges were good too and my girlfriend’s plain cheese and tomato pizza left something to be desired - but it’s probably because she has a lacking choice in pizza toppings ? to be honest all was really good and we both really enjoyed it. Delivery man was friendly and polite too. 10/10 and will order from here again.

Ardingly Café

Quaint little village we decided to stop for a bite to eat and what a joy it was lovely little cafe with such a wonderful waiter looking after us the food was fantastic nice quiet music ? playing al of us enjoyed the visit there’s a free car park yes you heard it a FREE car park shocker ? and it was just across from the cafe. So big thank you for looking after us five yesterday we had a lovely visit thank you ??

Orange Square

Well, what can i say. If you are craving a perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside but fluffy jacket potato with a generous amount of filling, this is the place!
I went here for lunch on a whim not really expecting anything and the food was delicious. You would think a jacket potato is hard to get wrong (so did i) until i came here and had the prawn jacket potato. It was so yummy i then went for lunch elsewhere a week later and they had a prawn jacket potato so i thought, perfect, i’ll have that again. It was a disappointment in comparison to the Orange square. In future i will only come to the square for all my jacket potato needs. I’m lucky as it is only down the road for me. Also, the customer service was really good and the chilean wine was lovely.

I highly recommend and will be visiting again with my good friend Sarah who is really excited to try her first Orange square Jacket potato!

JO.CO Cafe

This place is amazing ? a little spot in a nice town, service very polite and friendly, the menù rich of different options with fresh juices, the portion big with a right price also 10% discount if you pay in cash.
So what are you waiting for?! Take your car grab your dog and try a nice Portuguese ?? cotardo.

Sussex Kebab House

talk about fresh, if our burgers were any fresher they would have been mincing the cow, hot cooked over proper coals.

got to be the best burger place for miles

guys were very friendly too and made you feel welcome.

Go Gourmet

The coffee is so good!
I got a mocha with oatmilk which came with really nice latte art, definitely recommend trying this place!
I will come back to try other things on the menu ?

Tory's Café in the Park

Tory’s Cafe is underrated! We’ve been here several times now for food and coffee and have never been let down. The food is amazing (the best superfood salad!), the coffee is great and the staff are all so lovely and welcoming. It’s a lovely set up with both a nice indoor and outdoor area. We love this place and highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Tom’s Food

Booked a private dining evening for 10 people as a surprise birthday. A wonderful experience and incredible food. We had some last minute changes to numbers and menu which were accommodated without issue. The menu was curated of favourite foods specifically for the birthday and it was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect, cosy and intimate. We were there for 4 hours and the time just flew by. Tom was a perfect host and chef. An amazing evening for a special occasion and would not hesitate to do it again. Thanks Tom.

The Lockhart Tavern

I've been here a few times, and each visit has been an absolute delight! I celebrated Father's Day here and indulged in their incredible cheese board and mouthwatering wings – both were a hit! I can’t wait to come back for a casual drink and some tempting small plates. The atmosphere is fantastic, with beautifully curated decor and an open pass kitchen that adds to the vibrant energy! I highly recommend starting off with the cheese board – it's a must-try! Can't wait for my next visit!

The Bay Tree

First time here and won't be the last!
Lovely staff,made to feel very welcome. Great place to have a coffee and a bite to eat. Cakes look awesome! Didn't eat this occasion so cannot put any stars for the food.Thank you

Agra classic indian cuisine

Amazing food at Agra Indian Takeaway! The flavors are incredible—truly a must-try spot. The service is top-notch too. Bari, the receptionist, was incredibly helpful, and kind making the experience even better. He's also very good looking, big bonus ;) Highly recommend this place!

The Ardingly Inn

Excellent service, large hospitable village pub. Only pub in centre of village. Friendly locals and very kindly staff. All year round Badger beer on tap, with seasonal offerings. Much overlooked for more glitzy contemporaries. Needs more Patrons. Come support it or it will close.

Panda Town

My first time trying this place and I must say, I thought it tasted quite nice and the portions were plentiful. Service was efficient and I only had to wait 15 mins on a Friday night to have my order ready for collection.

The Stand Up Inn - Indigo Pub Company

I love this place. The (Thai) food is great. The staff are nice (blonde guy with 80s sweatshirts, true gent). Brown haired bar man makes up for being a bit frosty by having the best playlist, which I appreciate. Lots of good beer (around 10-15 taps/options?) kids curfew at 8pm but also has a book shelf with lots of children’s books for daytime. We’re there about once a week with our three year old. Really hope this place survives all the pub closures!

Curry Inn

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Curry inn and I was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the cuisine and the level of service. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and rich in authentic Indian flavors.

Washingtons Fish & Chips

I came here last week for the first time
I can say that this was the best Scampi and chips ever had
I asked for the chips to be done extra crispy and they were done to perfection
Very friendly
Back again
I’m not local but when I’m back in the area this is where I’m coming to
?????

Lee's Fish Bar

Brilliant chippy, we travel from Crowborough to get ours here, lovely batter as it should be, great chips. good portions. lovely friendly staff/owner. highly recommend.

Bella’s Pantry

Cuckfish

Ali’s Kebab

Excellent kebab and salad
While I was waiting I was offered tea as it was so cold outside this was very much appreciated
Will definitely be back

Burger King

Our experience was overall good but Arafat (I hope we’ve got his name right) seemed to be the only one out front with any work ethic. One guy with glasses was on his phone and moving like a snail, the other was chatting utter nonsense the whole time while Arafat was knocking out orders and didn’t stop for a second the whole time we were there (which was a while as we had a toddler with us). I hope he gets the recognition her deserves in the company because he deserves it and maybe a pay rise since he’s running the front of the store practically alone.
