   Fantastic food and service Only one thing to improve for me would be to stop the irritating habit of serving some of the food on bits of wood rather than plates. Just means things fall off onto the table all the time

   Another lovely meal at The Cat Inn. Would be better if they stocked OHMG!

   We had a wonderful meal, the menu has a mix of gastro and more traditional food so suits everyone. We had the Guinea Fowl accompanied by some wine produced in Sussex and it was delicious. The staff were great, really friendly and helpful. After dinner we sat by the fire in the bar and chatted with the locals. We'll definitely go back again soon.

   This is a treasure and exudes good taste. An instantly warm welcome from interested, intelligent and engaging staff. Good to meet Andrew who’s running it with grace and professionalism, honed from years of experience in Michelin starred places. The conservatory dining area is an elegant, nicely illuminated, well laid out and acoustically friendly area, ideal for conversation and thank goodness, with no mindless music, just the gentle hubbub of gastronomic appreciation. We had lunch with our octogenarian relative. I chose the vegan, butternut squash terrine….an exquisitely delicious triumph, the best I’ve ever eaten and a work of art! My husband’s burger, sumptuous beef, excellently seasoned, in a delightful brioche bun with beautiful chips. My mother in law chose gammon, perfectly tender and a ‘just right’ portion. Afterwards, very good coffee as our digestive. Later, we walked through to the older part of the pub and found a wonderful fireplace and cosy, seating areas that we’ll look forward to trying next time. This really is the nicest pub/restaurant and a discerning gourmet’s choice. We loved it and will be back.

    As usual wonderful service, the staff are so attentive, warm and really care about the choices you make. Lovely new Spring menu with great selections and specials. Save room for dessert as they are five* We always leave satisfied and looking forward to return.
