"Dinner at The Pass by Ben Wilkinson It is located in South Lodge, one of the finest country house hotels in Sussex. The kitchen is run by Ben and his partner Monika Zurawska, who leads the front of house team. The Pass is a small space, with a large glass wall that stands between the restaurant and the kitchen. An intimate restaurant, offering a unique dining experience for up to 28 diners. You sit at the high topped tables to watch Ben and his young team prepare and then proudly serve a seven course tasting menu. The meal starts with a complimentary glass of fizz and a selection of tasty snacks. The first course is a scallop dish with hokkaido squash, espelette pepper,coppa ham almond. The next course was a show stopper of a Celeriac dish like no other we have ever encountered. Royale beef cheek hen of the woods truffle with a beef fillet smoked emulsion tartlet on the side. As well as a glass of broth with fresh bread and cultured butter. The rest of the courses arrive in quick succession, delivered by chefs who explain each component. Day Boat Turbot,leeks squid dulse white asparagus, Ridgeview sparkling. Venison,roast loin liver dumpling bitter leaves hazelnut artichoke redwine. A course of 3 cheeses. Desserts were Rhubarb,ewe's milk curd rose yoghurt. Chocolate Délice,caramel hazelnut raisin. Just when you thought it was all over, there was a selection of Petit Fours with a sorbet on the side. There's not many hotels that can boast three award winning restaurants, of which this is their flagship. That has just retained its Michelin Star. The food was faultless with staff, charming,and professional."

"As a family we eat at a local pub once a month, sometimes more. The pub we've used countless times in Warnham today lost our custom. They've always taken far more care of their conversations than their customers and we've had enough. The Black Horse is simply brilliant in comparison. Parking, views, food, service, timing, every kindness and concern for accessibility and disability given. Quite frankly the best. Ignore the negative reviews, not a shred of truth in them we think. Loved our time today, we'll be back. Lovely to be looked after like one of the family, by a family run business"

"I booked a table as a late birthday gift for my fiancée. We had read so many positive reviews of Heritage and being local we were keen to visit. The welcome was lovely and we enjoyed a couple of glasses of local sparkling wine in the bar before being shown to our table. We opted for the classic lunch 5-course tasting menu with an accompanying cocktail flight and non-alcoholic flight for the designated driver. The food is truly exceptional, from the flavour-bomb snacks at the beginning of the meal, the starter of pressed duck terrine, a perfectly cooked trout dish that melted in the mouth, pork loin and belly that were just transcendent, a pre desert of strawberries, courgette and balsamic that just worked so well to one of the best deserts of Elderflower I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Food was presented and explained, as were the accompanying drinks. Everything was simply perfect."

"I was hoping for a nice lunch because our friends had said how nice it was. The pub itself is actually really nice and I couldn't complain about the waiting staff who were very attentive. Unfortunately this wasn't matched by the quality of the food. Three out of the four of us ordered liver in a sauce which sounded nice. Unfortunately when it arrived all three of the meals were only lukewarm and we sent all of them back. As the liver was full of sinew and was unpleasant I said I'd have fish and chips instead which I'd seen someone else have and looked lovely. The fourth meal, (Sea bass) was fine. We then had to wait about 45 minutes for the replacement meals to arrive. To be honest when I looked at the fish and chips they then sent out I actually thought it was a joke. It looked like the meal had been scraped out of the bin. As I am diabetic I had to try to eat some of it before I became a medical emergency otherwise I would have sent it straight back as well. As it was, two chips and a bit of the fish was all I could stomach and I left the rest. I asked the waitress if we had been pushed to the back of the queue and she said they were very busy and were trying to fit us in. One of our friends liver was virtually inedible and she left most of it. The other liver was ok. Would I go back or recommend this place? Not on your life."

"Went for lunch mid walk with backpacks. We sat down to eat and were joined by one more so I pulled over another chair. The landlord came and said if I broke the chair (I'm 50k) Id have to pay for it. I had moved a chair from one table outside to another wooden bench one. The food was ok to good, the girls serving were lovely. They should take over! A couple of weeks later I called in again with a friend and backpacks assume they think we are not locals and therefore don't care. Again rudeness as he patrolled the garden checking we weren't there just to use the loos. He needs to focus his energy on better customer service and pr. The few locals he's on side with may not be continuing forever."
