Gastropub · East Grinstead
A country pub in Sharpthorne that's built for a proper Sunday, and the roasts are the reason people keep coming back — beef that falls apart without a knife, crispy-outside, fluffy-inside roast potatoes, and staff who'll happily top up the gravy. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, and the outside seats have genuinely lovely views if you'd rather let a restless toddler roam a bit. The team is warm with children and patient explaining the menu, and they handle big family gatherings well with notice. Gluten-free roasts are done properly. Portions are large enough that starters are optional, and the cosy fire makes winter lunches easy. Sundays get busy, so book ahead — and be aware the roast comes with a red wine jus rather than traditional gravy.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
