I think that 1MR is probably the best café in East Grinstead. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and there's always something homemade and delicious on the Specials board. I particularly like the soup, but the breakfasts and cakes are excellent too.

You need to go here!! Such a lovely cafe with great atmosphere. The staff were so kind and attentive. I had a babyshower with afternoon tea. We had plenty of space and the food was superb! Staff were brilliant and let us decorate. They were constantly making sure we had enough to drink and we were never made to feel rushed. Couldn’t be happier with this venue and the lovely memories that were made!

One of the most friendly customer service experiences I've had in YEARS! When I arrived one of the waitresses offered to bring over water immediately which is really appreciated instead of having to ask for it. Caroline one of the waitresses was an absolute joy! Really funny and friendly! the food was really nice! I had the chicken, bacon avocado sandwich on seeded bread and toasted. It was around £5 for the sandwiches. There were different bread options including gluten free which was nice. The salad and coleslaw were perfectly portioned. They were small which I like but really high quality and fresh. Top notch presentation on slate tiles too. The £3 lemon elderflower cake was like no other cake I've tasted. It was super floral and super rich! Pimm's was £15 for a generous jug. Did probably around 7 glasses. So good value 👌🏻

Love this place, been here for lunch, wine tasting events, Christmas light switch on. Every occasion they are great for. Nice small little cafe with polite, friendly and efficient staff. The food is incredible while being affordable. As you can see in pictures cute pots of tea not small in the slightest and amazingly tasty and fresh food.

You know you cannot go wrong stopping in here, for food tea coffee or cold drinks, the staff I saw on my visit were lovely, and the food was excellent, they do such a good job here and it is needed. I will be visiting again when I'm near the hospital 🏥 as it is money well spent. I had coffee, which matched those expensive coffee ☕️ shops and good tasting food as well. It's only a few minutes from the back of the hospital. If you are on the road, i.e., a rep & needing a place to stop. What3words is ///causes.proof.olive

Nice friendly community cafe, coffee was great, though the pastries could have been better. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Great service 👍. Looks to be a nice place to meet and chat.

I feel blessed to have been led to this incredible initiative today! Not only do they sell high-end specialist tea (one of the nicest I have had out of my home) and coffee from top ethically sourced suppliers - but their breakfast was spot on. Super friendly; and the value is so good you have to take your hat off to them. All this quality and a price that should/could be three times what they charge at least(!) but they exist to support the community in which they are based and serve. The staff are warm, dedicated and very good at what they do. They have also mobilised a small outlet outside, where local people in need can get fruit, veg and other foods and make a donation if willing and able. Would love to see more of this in the world. Well done. If I ever find myself in the area again I would come back in a heart beat.

We had quite rightly booked ahead and pre ordered some food. After our 6 mile circular walk on a rare mild morning in the Spring ready to murder pints of Shepherd Neame Master Brew. We don't oftern get Master Brew or Spitfire offered but most took pints of this freshly drawn cool, bright ale 4.1% at £4.95 a pint. Spitfire at 4.5% and £5.10 a pint were well received by all. There were no other Real Ales on offer but a bottle of the 1698 Strong Ale was tasted 6.5% and only £4.95 so felt excellent value for a decent strong ale. All said they had enjoyed the various food offerings from Baguettes to Fish & Chips. A lovely old village pub under new management. Well worth your support. The bar "half barrels" frontage can be seen in a 1920's photo - so little has changed. Outside has a really lovely seating area facing south which makes a big bonus beer garden. Sadly not today as it was chilly but in good weather this area would seem a must! Thanks to the Staff who looked after us folk and for being most patient in our ordering!!

A very warm welcome from the assistant manager, Kelly, who showed me to my boutique room. Gorgeous and cute followed by a steak dinner as it was "Steak Thursday" finished by the chocolate dessert (don't mind if I do) thank you. A lovely wholesome experience and will be back if I am ever this way 💕

What an amazing Sunday afternoon spent celebrating Mother’s Day with my daughters. The food was amazing , fresh ingredients, I had beef roast, it was perfectly done and my children had a chicken roast which was amazing too. Cozy and a homely feel! Micheal and Julia and the team were so friendly and made the entire afternoon as special as it was meant to be. Will definitely be back!

Walked into our local this evening, saw mussels on the specials board (my all time fav) had to order them! The mussels arrive, extremely generous portion for the money - with homemade fries. Mussels were divine and the sauce…well, we have been to many places and I can safely say the sauce was the best sauce I’ve ever had with any mussels I have ever had! 10 out of 10 from me - absolutely amazing! And from a chef that is so passionate about his food too! Love, love, love!!! George - you are an amazing chef!!

Bartender was very friendly. Had a lovely chat with him and some other people sat at the bar. He suggested different drinks to try and let us smell spirits before having them. The glassware is very nice. It's nice to have a well refurbished new place in town. I'll be going again.

I love coming to Goat. They have the most delicious breakfasts in East Grinstead. There is plenty to choose from apart from the traditional poached eggs and English breakfast. I can’t wait for when they start offering their Asian dinner menu in a couple of weeks!

The lady is super sweet and extremely helpful. You can tell they really care about the customer. It was my first time here as I needed to get some school presents. She helped me find things and made good suggestions. The shop goes a way back so there's lots to see and purchase. They have lovely gifts like clothes, toys, puzzles, bath gifts, balloons and ofcourse chocolates. Please do try and have a look at the shop, they have lots to offer.

What fantastic service friendly helpful staff. The In house chocolates are to die for, we were each offered a sample and ended up with 5 boxes for friends and family. Pity we don’t live closer, although the owner has offered a postal service, which we will definitely use at Christmas if not before. Would recommend everyone

Wanted to find an Easter egg for my mum who has had very specific tastes following chemo. Couldn’t find anything but junk left in the major shops, Joyce’s was happy to make me something unique and my mum loved it. Such a special place I never thought I needed, but love having locally.

Wonderful shop with a fabulous selection of cards and gifts. The highlight though has to be the incredible selection of chocolates, including gorgeous handmade ones produced by Sue in house. They make a wonderful gift or an indulgent treat!

As an American, I was pleasantly surprised. This was better than I expected. The burgers were large and legit, service was also fast and attentive. Fajitas were decent, but not my favorite (they put hot peppers in, not customary for U.S TexMex food). Overall, worth a stop.

Lovely pub on the way from airport parking. Quick service and delicious food. Quirky decor and outside seating available too. Would definitely recommend to stop by. One star down for cleanliness, needs some dusting.

It’s definitely an American cowboy set up and very well done at that! Saddles, wagon wheels, wooden beams and cowgirls to take your order! Very good atmosphere, nice low lighting but you can still see your food. Very comfortable. Our waitress was attentive and the service was good. Burgers and chips were big portions and tasty. Not as hot as would have liked, and the chips were not as hot as expected. Otherwise the meal was satisfactory. Great for a family night out and some dishes I would come back to try. Definitely recommend!

The room was spacious, the only downside was that we had a green light permanently on (emergency lighting?) The evening meal was ok, but the batter on the fish could've been much crispier. Breakfast was great - no problems at all. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of car parking spaces, and about a 20 minute walk to Lingfield racecourse, which was our reason for stopping.

We called in, late Sunday evening without booking. A table was found for our party of four. We all had the roast beef, Sunday lunch. It was excellent, good tasty food, very reasonable price. The pub was noisy, but that was because it was very busy, that gave it a nice lively atmosphere. The service was excellent. It's a shame we don't live locally, if we are ever in Lingfield again we would definitely made a return visit. I would highly recommend.

Can’t comment on rooms as we just went to the pub but the pub was lovely and they have a big children’s play area outside with a covered seating area and heaters which wa great on a chilly day so the kids could play and we could see them. We only ordered chips which were delicious and came quickly. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. I had a mulled wine. Lots of cider and beer draught options. Fully stocked on wines and spirits. Will definitely be back and excited to visit again in warmer months too.

Our room was fairly basic but functional and clean although the stairs and lobby leading to the room needed some attention. We could hear music coming from the kitchen, I think, but fortunately this had stopped by the time we went to bed. The bar was pretty busy and seemed popular with the locals but we decided to take a short walk into the main town area for a visit to a Thai restaurant which was very good. The low price that I paid through Hotels.com represented good value. I would consider staying again.

Went there for the first time, and we had a nice breakfast and drinks and enjoyed it . Around the food was good Standard, but it could have been a bit more on the plate, but not bad for the money, and we would go back friendly service and freshly cooked. 👍

It was back in October when we visited and I forgot to leave a review before... oops!!! I only came in for a coffee while we were passing through the village to visit a friend... They were so lovely and friendly in there. They gave my kids some marshmallows and took their time and told them about the race horse (because my kids are into horses). They made the little train go for them to see it. Such a lovely comfortable place and I'm so pleased I needed that coffee now :) xxx
