The Eight Bells - Mid Sussex

We have visited this restaurant multiple times with both family and friends and have never been let down. The staff are incredibly friendly and always greet us with a smile. The food is delightful, made with fresh ingredients and expertly cooked by David. The staff also have a great sense of humor and join in with our family jokes (shoutout to Louise and Cat). We will definitely be returning. Make sure to make a reservation as it can get busy. The restaurant is currently decorated for Christmas, adding to the festive atmosphere. We have no complaints about our experience. xxx

I disagree with the previous review mentioning the staff's curt and rude attitude. I was present during that visit and found Cat and Louise to be polite and lovely. The commenter may have had a bad attitude themselves, and the chipped plates were likely just a mistake. Perhaps they had a difficult childhood. Keep up the great work, 8 Bells!

We have visited this restaurant several times due to its convenience, but have never been impressed. This evening, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Both of our plates had noticeable chips in them. Another couple was turned away quite abruptly. We doubt that we will be returning.

We regularly visit this pub on a Sunday for a roast dinner. Always made to feel so welcome. The food is great and priced well too. David, Cat and Lou are great hosts Highly recommend

Found this little gem en route home from a weekend away. Down a lane off the A272 towards Bolney. It was a Sunday, we didn’t want a roast and were offered light menu. Perfect hot wings and hummus dish. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Car park at the rear. Would highly recommend
