“Barbara is a superb host for this very unique venture. Second Helpings is a personal restaurant for a small group in a beautiful dining room in Barbara's home in Lingfield. She makes you feel like a friend not a client. It is an ideal way to bring friends together without having to cook or to have a mess in your house! Or for a business, a Christmas party, whatever. You can choose the menu and the cooking and presentation is fantastic. In the summer the garden will be heavenly. Highly recommended.”

Booked with a group of girl friends in our early 30s for lunch. Lovely meal, setting and hosts! Had never done anything like this before so was a new experienced but we loved it so much have booked again already. Garden is stunning and we were lucky with the weather so able to eat outside to really enjoy the setting. Many thanks and look forward to the next time

I have been visiting Barbara's for years to keep in touch with former colleagues. The food has always been wonderful with new surprises each year and the garden setting is just beautiful. A highlight each year is taking a look around the well maintained country garden as well as of course being welcomed by Barbara as a brilliant host. Can't wait to come again next year!

We had the most wonderful celebration with Barbara at Second Helpings for my friend's baby shower. Barbara went above and beyond to cater to each guest and give us a really special afternoon. The food we had for afternoon tea was so delicious, with amazing quiches and beautiful cakes. The venue was so perfect too and wonderful having an exclusive space just for us all. We can't thank Barbara enough for making it such a special day and we'll definitely be going back for a summer picnic in the garden!

A Triumph!! They exclaimed. Now let me tell you a story!! As part of a monthly Gentlemen's Lunch Club we go all over from The City to the South coast looking for great food and good wine. I happened upon Second Helpings. What & who were they? After a visit to Barbara to discuss setting up such a lunch that aimed high on menu and food quality we bagged a date. On the day frankly nothing was too much trouble and the 10 of us sat down for what turned out to be a lunch cooked & served to PERFECTION. You will see from our menu we indulged a bit - Barbara and her team delivered with ease. Take your own wine (small corkage charge) Champagne on the terrace, four stunning courses and my goodness an extra few bottles of wine. We have not been elsewhere to match the dedication to fine cooking and we all, to a man, recommend Second Helpings. All this sounds expensive- well it's not but it's really 5 Star value for money. You will never be disappointed. Lots of ladies hold private lunches, other Folk sit in the long and beautiful garden for a 5 stars tea. Go and see for yourself - book a chat over coffee, agree a menu, bag a date, organise you buddies, slip on a jacket and indulge. We have already booked a return visit luncheon !!! Thank you team for everything.

“Quaint authentic Italian restaurant in the middle of East Grinstead, this restaurant is an absolute hidden gem. For a truly authentic Nepalese meal, you’ll find no better location for miles. I visited with my partner on New Year’s Day as we stayed at a Five Star Spa close by, the food here was by far much better than the hotel restaurant we were staying at and at 1/3 the price, this was a no brainier as a destination once we discovered it. The aubergine parmigiana starter was absolutely delicious and their pasta mains were absolutely perfect 👌🏿 With a very “Mamma’s house” kind of vibe throughout, filled with intriguing artwork and eclectic pieces perfect for capturing a young families attention. This was a great find”

“The waiter did tell us beforehand that the food was very authentic and there wasn’t any sugar etc however I booked a Korma expecting it to be mild however it tasted spicy which I’m sure as many people are aware of, in UK Indian restaurants Kormas are one of the only non-spicy curries, with creamy textures and sweet flavours. The waiter did kindly offer to remake it or give me some extra cream so the added cream made it more enjoyable for me! Came as a bit of a shock to me. But very good for spice lovers! The roti was flavoursome and thick.”

“Great people, great food. I have been going here for years and it is a must visit whenever I am in the area. Super friendly people who make you feel like family. Great tapas and great meals if you prefer more of a sit-down experience. I love standing at the bar or sitting in the dining room. Love this place.”

“Have eaten there a couple of times for breakfast and it was lovely. However have just had a Sunday Roast there, for the first time, and can tell you, it won't be the last time. It was absolutely superb! Three of us had the Venison, which melted in your mouth, and one had Beef, which was equally delicious! All the trimmings were beautifully cooked and presented and it was plentiful! The best Sunday Roast we have had out anywhere, and great value for money! Highly recommend!😍”

“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!!”
