    We had a fab evening at Orla. We sat at the pass and watched the food being prepared and chatting with Chef Ian. The food was superb, and amazing value. The service was also excellent, and there was nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Orla is a great addition to Lindfield and surrounding area - we recommend you visit!

    Another lovely meal with some new menu choices this time. It’s a privilege to be able to eat at a ‘proper’ small restaurant these days…

    This is fine dining and it’s in Lindfield! We had a lovely dinner for 2. I really liked the cauliflower pakora snacks. I had mackerel as a starter and then pasta and mushrooms for main. Both were really good. My husband had burrata and then Spring lamb, he would recommend both. We sat at the pass, so could watch the chef at work. This meant sitting on bar stools, they were actually very comfortable and we enjoyed it. Service was great- attentive, informed but not too much.
