About The Red Deer

The Red Deer is a pub in Horsham at 24D Carfax, and one of only 12 places in the country serving fresh Pilsner Urquell, which arrives weekly from the Czech Republic. The kitchen serves a Sunday roast with unlimited gravy and potatoes, and roast dinners come with a selection of accompaniments. Starters include smoked Chalk river trout with avocado and pickled cucumber. Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. The pub fills its calendar with live music, live mic nights and quiz nights. Dogs are welcome, and a dedicated dog menu gives them something of their own.

Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast is the draw reviewers raise most, with diners praising the meat, the presentation and the unlimited gravy and potatoes. Close behind are the food at other meals, including a smoked trout starter with avocado and pickled cucumber, wild mushrooms on toasted bread and a burger, and the service, with several singling out one waitress as friendly and attentive. Reviewers also describe a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, a garden area, and a dog menu, and one couple recalls staff surprising their dog with a birthday plate. The main complaint comes from one roast diner who was disappointed, saying the food seemed microwaved because it arrived within 20 minutes, the roast potatoes were soft and the cauliflower cheese was watery and very sweet. That reviewer also found the half chicken portion unclear. Another mentions the food being a bit pricey, though delicious. Several reviewers say they plan to return, and one family says they will make a reservation again for the Sunday roast.

    “The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. You could really tell that so much care had gone into everything. A special mention has to go to our waitress, Elena, who was absolutely incredible. She was so friendly, attentive and genuinely lovely throughout our whole meal. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made us feel so welcome and looked after from start to finish. Fantastic food, amazing service and such a lovely atmosphere. It was our first time coming and will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! ❤️”

    “Last Sunday me and my family went to our favourite Sunday roast restaurant. Our server was Josie from the first conversation we had it set the mood for the rest of the meal. Her service was outstanding and very recognisable. The Sunday roast was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The unlimited gravy and potatoes was a lovely touch to the meal. We will definitely be making a reservation again. If you haven’t already tried this restaurant for a Sunday roast would highly recommend to go.”

    “It was our first visit to The Red Deer and we were really impressed. We found it friendly and welcoming. Our server Josie was very helpful. The service was fast and the food (we all had roast dinners but didn’t have starters or puddings) was excellent. Not the best roast potatoes ever but the meat was superb and worth returning for plus a nice selection of accompaniments.”

We’re also one of only 12 places in the country that serve fresh Pilsner Urquell delivered weekly from Czech Republic to our pub.”
