Horsham Restaurant Guide

“A great find out in an area of relative culinary wilderness” – Tristan & Candy Mason’s well-established destination occupies a converted sixteenth-century building in the town centre, complete with pitched roof and wood beams. There’s a range of fixed menus from three courses for £30 up to eight courses for £90, and the modern British dishes are “beautiful” – “creative (but not gimmicky)”. Top Tip – it has a bar where they serve breakfast and brunch.

2018 Review: This upmarket Japanese emerged phoenix-like from a huge fire in 2014; now under Paul & Verity Craig, of Brighton’s Bohemia (the original owners bowed out after launching an ill-fated London sibling), it seems to be back at its best, with “fantastic food on every visit” (so “glad it came back after being burnt down!”).

On the 240 acre estate of Grade I listed Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens (incorporating a vineyard), this two-year-old venture has yet to generate sufficient feedback for a rating. But its 14-course and 19-course menus from South African chef Jean Delport – using produce from the estate – have immediately caught the attention of the tyre men, who awarded it a Michelin star in October 2019.
