Best place to eat out in Mid-Sussex

[portlock seagull]

My dad's a real foodie and its his 65th. Want to go somewhere a bit special therefore and greatly appreciate some up to date recommendations as I haven't lived there for 6 years now eg heard the chequers at Slaugham has changed hands and not a patch on what it used to be. Ockenden Manor in Cuckfield sounds interesting, with Steve Crane a top head chef (not a bad footy player at school I seem to remember). Any other recommendations appreciated because I did a google search for restaurants and smongst its British choices was the Little Chef at Handcross.

If you like curries, the Nizam Tandori in HH or Thai 9 in Burgess hill (they also own The White Horse in Lindfield)

If you want to come to Brighton Due South is excellent and it's also in a great location.

It's great, locally sourced, not overly complicated food. It wins lots of awards and also comes with the Tubthumper seal of approval.

I second that. We went there for my younger brother's birthday this year. Food and atmosphere out of this world. However, make sure your account is well topped up, hand over your card and don't look at the receipt.

Jeremy's at Borde Hill. Not been there but I've eaten at his previous haunts and his cooking is amazing -- really tasty.

Crabtree was superb, but a bit small for his talents, and him also from when I met him!!

Jeremys is superb. He's a top bloke as well. I highly recommend it.

Ockenden Manor is superb and they do a two course lunch menu for £10 a head which is excellent value for the quality of food.

A mate was talking about a Ugandian restaurant, Cowfold way.

Sorry can't be any more help than that, it did seem a little bizarre.

You're right about Chequers changing hands.

Don't go there.

the people who used to run it are now doing food at the Victory in Staplefield

I used to take my wife to the Jolly Tanners in Staplefields for a meal quite often because the steaks were good but one day we stood like a pair of stiff pricks in the lower bar waiting to either be served or given a menu whilst the woman! stood chatting in the top bar and then served her 'friends', obviously regulars, when they came in. My wife walked out and vowed never to go back in there again, which we havent but we did go to the Victory as we wanted food and didnt quite know what to expect. The decor wasnt very good but the food was excellent and the beer was ok, will go back again.

no idea about mid sussex, but n Brighton- Latin in the Lanes (just off East Street, behind the Queens Hotel) was the best seafood i;d ever had. the boss was paying too, so a bonus!
