Best Bistros in Crawley

All round, just fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking to have a breakfast in Haywards Heath area.

Really recommend the Pavilion. Have been here multiple times for the Sunday roast and recently visited for dinner on Saturday. The menu options were great and the food was of very high quality. Great value for money in this day and age! Service was great as well - they’re always super lovely and welcoming.

Overall our experience was outstanding but that was down mainly to the staff. It was a very challenging evening due to being incredibly busy & very short staffed in the kitchen and therefore a huge delay with food. Our fougasse bread was excellent and came out reasonably quickly. However, we then waited an hour and a half for our food that was then stone cold and tepid. Our waiter Antal was excellent in explaining one of the dishes & was extremely apologetic, and Ellie was amazing, more than making up for it by adjusting our bill. We are regulars so know that this was a one off. Their customer service to us was superb & made up for any not so good points. We’ve been back since and would highly recommend.

Bistro Union never disappoints, but today’s lunch was my best experience yet! Dining with my wife, a friend, and one of my sons, we were once again blown away by the quality and variety of the menu. The ingredients are second to none, and the duck breast—truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. This restaurant is a jewel in the crown of Abbeville Road. The food, service, and ambiance are consistently exceptional, making it a reliable choice every time. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The food was lovely … we were celebrating my daughter’s degree qualification as a family. It was great- no one else there, nice food and expected prices- no surprise there. The waiter was really cool but was a ‘constant’ talking and engaging with us repeatedly. Could do with knowing when to talk and when to stay distant. Lovely man though - I just felt he wanted to join in all the time?
