Eating Out in Horsham

Post by midget »

Has anyone any good ideas about where to eat in Horsham? We know nothing about the town at all, and will be there for 3 nights- Friday just us, Saturday between 4 and 8 peoplen and Sunday just us again. All suggestions gratefully received.

If you like Italian, there are one or 2 good restaurants(Tortellini, Prezzo Pizza Express...)..) Chinese? Indian? Pub grub? Horsham has the lot! If you have transport , there are numerous pubs within easy driving distance that do good food. Depends what you want really!!

I don`t think this is by any means a definitive guide though, as one or 2 favourites aren`t listed.

I suppose it depends whether you want posh nosh or pub grub. For the latter we have always found that great down-market (ie relatively cheap eating for impoverished families) is the Beefeater which is conveniently attached to the Travel Inn. Even if not staying there, it has car parking facilities and a widish menu with particularly good steaks.

There are also, I believe, other places where you can pay a lot more for rather less.

The food in Pires Bar is extensive, reasonably priced with good portions !

A small friendly bar.

AND......

You'd get to meet the gorgeous Glenda. (Jan absolutely LUVS him !)

It's just off the Carfax !

NB - food at lunchtimes only in Piries, but quite a popular spot.

Re. restaurants - The Long Room is excellent, specialising in locally produced stuff: http://www.thelongroom.net/

The Malt Shovel pub does decent lunches (and excellent beer) :

Also in Springfield Road are the Raj Kumar (Indian) and Mr. Li's (Chinese), both pretty good.

For Thai, you could try The River Kwai in Market Square.

Another pub known for its food is The Black Jug :

There's a Greek place too - George's, in the Carfax. I've only been there once, but it was rather good. No link, I'm afraid.

This is quite a good Tapas place: http://www.elbodegon.co.uk/

And, of course, as Janet says, the surrounding countryside is full of rather nice pubs which do good food.

Have a look here: http://www.horshampub.co.uk/

If you need any more specific info, please feel free to give me a shout....
