The food was outstanding, we were two couples and we all had something different and every dish was perfect. The service we received was excellent and staff were very accommodating. The only slightly negative thing I would say is the ambiance was not brilliant, more of a cafe feel than a restaurant. Having said this I would highly recommend this restaurant, we will definitely being going back. One last thing, the location is excellent right next door to the Bent Arms and on the high street of the beautiful village of Lindfield.

About the restaurant

The Cat Inn is a 16th century free house set in the picturesque village of West Hoathly, a hilltop village set in the heart of the Sussex countryside. It is in within easy distance from the towns of East Grinstead and Haywards Heath and only 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

The Pub with its oak beams and two inglenook fireplaces proffers a warm and cosy atmosphere in the winter, whilst our terrace is perfect to enjoy a drink and food in the summer months. Being a free house we pride ourselves in the quality of our real ale, and concentrate on local breweries, such as Harvey's of Lewes and other micro breweries. Our food is cooked to order, using fresh, seasonal and where possible locally sourced ingredients. Our menus change on a regular basis and we also offer a small selection of seasonal specials on a daily basis.

We welcome children over the age of 7. Dogs are welcome in the "pub" area of the Cat, they are not permitted in the dining room

Smashing meal once again - loved the brunch menu. The smoked salmon with walnuts was divine, the crème brûlée outstanding and the overall atmosphere and service superb. Well done to all involved 👏

After much research and debate we decided o celebrate our 24th Anniversary dinner at Masala City. Booking was easy, even when (at short notice) we needed to delay our arrival for by an hour. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and given a choice as to where we felt most comfortable to be seated. We ordered drinks and whilst deciding on our meal they along with the papadums and sauces were served. We ordered the prawn starter and mixed starter. Both were delicious. I had a tandoori mixed grill (my favourite) and my wife had chicken tikka masala. This was the best Indian meal we have ever shared! The food was served in good time and looked very appetising. It tasted even better and because the portions were so generous we asked for a "to go bag" . The experience was pricey, but worth every penny. We will definitely return.

About the restaurant

Bill’s Chichester can be found smack bang in the middle of the Butter Market (we promise we serve more than butter), in our beautiful Grade II listed building. Our walls may be old, but our menu, and ingredients, are always fresh. So, take a seat, rest your feet after a day out on the cobbles, and let Bill’s take care of you.
