Best Restaurants for Groups in Henfield

We enjoyed our Xmas Eve lunch, service and ambience great, food was good, particularly the desserts - bit disappointed with my gluten free yorkshire puddings which were a bit dense and stodgy. I make them at home so I know they can be light and fluffy, however I was pleased to be offered them at all as many restaurants don’t. Drinks are a little more expensive here than you might expect but extensive choice. Overall experience was very good, love the location at the foot of the downs, and look forward to a return visit.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the high standard of cooking and imaginative menu at the Fig Tree. We went to celebrate two December birthdays with friends and had the tasting menu. This was well thought out and delivered some exceptional dishes. Sensible wine list too. We will definitely be returning

Really enjoyed our meal , great service in relaxed setting .

We had to wait to be seated as we were told that our table was ready but then advised it was given to someone else and it would be a couple of minutes. That was not true and we had to enquire if the table was then ready, to which we were seated immediately. Although we were having the set Christmas menu we were also not offered a drinks menu, we had to pull this up via our phones. The server we finally had was nice, but we had to ask to do the Cluedo activity but he was attentive when serving the food. Normally it’s been really great here but the seating and no drinks menu was not the best experience.

Really good food in a lovely cosy and historic venue, will definitely be visiting again. I had haggis, I’ve been to Scotland many times and eaten it there but this one is definitely better. My wife had steak and ale pie which was the best, meatiest pie she’d ever had.
