    We have visited several times now and each time we are met with enthusiastic staff, great service, lovely food presentation and above all, fantastic food flavours. However, I forgot to ask for the onion flavoured sour dough recipe, which was obviously excellent! Back again in July for another tasting menu.

    Very friendly greeting which extended to super service. We both thought that the food was wonderful, great ingredients in carefully considered dishes. One of the best meals we have had in Sussex. Will return soon and recommend it to our family and friends.

    We had the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairings. The service was exceptional. The 2 young ladies were very knowledgeable about all the dishes and wines. The service was efficient and we never felt rushed. We were given detailed descriptions of all our food and drink. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and the tables were well spaced. The food was very reasonably priced, we felt the wine flight was a little on the expensive side but wanted to try it. The quality of the food was equal to Michelin starred restaurants we’ve eaten in before. We will highly recommend to others and will be back.

    Food outstanding - as always. Each course has that special something which sets off the taste buds. Only negative is it gets noisy when busy .

    This divine restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is created with precision, love, and devotion to presentation, and taste is second to none. The mouthwatering menu will tantalise your tastebuds. The flavours and textures all work in a brilliant display of culinary work. The chef is talented but is matched by the Front of House team. The service was equally as sublime as the food. Highly recommend a visit, and I'll be back as the value for money was exceptional. Thank you for sharing your restaurant with us.

    The quality of the food is never less than excellent and is often quite outstanding. I know of no other restaurant in Mid Sussex that comes close to the Fig Tree.
