  “Food has really stepped up a level in the last few months. We generally go on Sundays but was a good roast and much needed. Service was brilliant really accommodating for a walk in of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). Will definitely go back again soon and rank in too 3 roasts in Horsham area.”

  “I paid £15.99 each for 2 Ploughman's £30.98. Absolutely terrible value for money. 2 slices of cheese from a packet, 2 small slices of Sourdough bread, minimal salad and not the best ham for the price. Although fairly tasty, it was the meanest Ploughmans I have ever had. Where was the big chunk of cheese ? Proper chunks of bread, pickles, pickled onions ? Don’t waste your money.”

  “We had a family Sunday lunch here and we were pleasantly surprised as initially we were reluctant to go because of the low google rating. However, we discovered that the place has new owners and they are real professionals. The quality of the roast, (we had beef and chicken) was really high, nicely presented and served very quickly. All the staff were really welcoming and we had a great time. The olives and the baby squid were exceptional.”

  “Just dined here for a birthday and I would like for the chef to know how good this ragù alla bolognese was. I’m Italian, had ragù from Bologna my whole life and this was pretty spot on. I could see the celery, onion and carrot mixture, as well as the vegetable broth that has been added gradually. Almost identical to the OG one except that the Bologna version has 3/4 minced beef and 1/4 pancetta chopped really finely. If you ever decide to add it, the taste would be exactly the same. Regardless, it was stunning!”

  “Came here for a Sunday roast on a roasting summer Sunday. Nice rear beer garden (and one out the front) but chose to eat inside instead. Staff pleasant and happy to accommodate without a booking as we arrived a bit earlier than the main service. Our food and drinks arrived in good time and the portion size of the Meat Feast roast was bigger than expected. Being brave I managed to finish it off. With not much persuasion I tried the sticky toffee pudding. A bit of ginger spice in it, was really nice and the portion size was no more than I could have eaten. It’s a young team but they were attentive without being overbearing. Prices are more than fair for what you get and the quality of the meat and veg is really good. I like how they have the veg on the plate, covered in gravy, rather than dried out on a side plate from being under a lamp for too long. The building is really clean and tidy, looks recently decorated and a pet hate of mine was covered; the parking spaces are wide enough that you can get in and out of your car without needing to limber up beforehand. Oh and there’s a bus stop outside which could be convenient for locals. We’ll definitely go again. Side note: For the kids and bird lovers, the garden centre literally next door has Huxleys bird of prey centre that’s worth a visit too.”

  “Delighted to visit the Holbrook again with the new tennant having turned around a previously poor process and given the pub/restaurant a lovely fresh smile! We ate there 2 days running as it was so good!! Our server ,Ellie, was really excellent with her friendly welcoming service and attention to us, a most pleasant experience dining there!!! The rump steak was one of the best I've had for a long while, with succulent garden fresh vegetables. A great experience all round and the pub has restored it's traditional pub atmosphere while keeping the dining high class ✨️✨️”

  “I booked a table to meet up with a friend who was visiting from Copenhagen. I asked if we could sit near the open fire if it was available. When we arrived (slightly late) we were immediately uplifted by the beautiful Christmas decorations and greeted by Saneal who had reserved the table for us. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, without loud music to allow us to catch up. We didn’t feel rushed, but Saneal was attentive, friendly and efficient. One of my friends is allergic to lime and we didn’t realise her drink would have a slice in it so we asked if we could order another one. Saneal swapped it out for a new drink immediately without question or further cost. The menu gave us plenty of choice and our requests were kindly accommodated. The food was delicious and the pub was warm and cosy. Thank you Saneal and all the staff behind the scenes who made our experience so special. I can’t wait to return.”

  “The Hornbrook Inn in Horsham is a wonderful spot — warm, inviting and full of character. From the rustic charm of its beamed ceiling, flagstone floors and oak beams to the large garden which is perfect for sunny afternoons, it feels like a place where you immediately relax and settle in. The food is reliably lovely. The menu leans on comforting pub classics — think hearty Sunday roasts, steak & ale pies, fish and chips, generous burgers — all done well, with flavour and care. On several occasions people mention that dishes are “very tasty”, “fresh, cooked as requested”, and portions are satisfying. Service tends to be friendly and welcoming; the staff often get praise for being kind, accommodating, and making the meal feel like more than just food. Some visitors prefer going on less busy times to avoid a slow-service risk, but even then the warmth of the place holds up. All in all, The Hornbrook is a lovely place for a relaxed meal — good food, good atmosphere, and plenty of charm. If you like, I can write a version more geared toward photography or ambiance?”

  “Had a very pleasant Sunday Lunch here yesterday which was well presented & very tasty. I’ve been here several times. The service is friendly & efficient, & the atmosphere is welcoming & relaxed. The food was well presented & nicely cooked. My friend went for the Sunday Roast Beef & I went for the Bass on Risotto. Both were very tasty. The dessert menu was particularly good and exceeded expectation. The have a decent wine list and a good selection of beer, cider, specialty gins & vodkas. Reasonably priced & plenty of parking. Good job.”
