The Horse And Groom - Wealden

The new owners are to be congratulated on bringing this pub back to life. However, we had a bad experience food wise, ordering the lunchtime sandwiches. The meat in the sandwiches seemed like stale warmed up leftovers from the previous weekend roasts. Not good.

Great visit on Saturday for a late afternoon lunch! We were lucky to get in at 2:45 shortly before they closed service at 3pm! I had a BLT sandwich and fries that was excellent! Wide choice on me ye from classic pub dishes to burgers sandwiches and fish. Great views across the village green from the pubs garden! Rushlake Green must be one of the most beautiful villages in this pokey of East Sussex a true undiscovered gem!

Always a good pint of beer, thank god more choice than Harvey's bitter and Longman brewery which seems to be the norm for East Sussex pubs. We tried the restaurant last night for an evening meal and it was really good. The staff and service were friendly and attentive.

Had high hopes. Have wanted to visit for some time and on entering this pretty village pub we weren’t disappointed at first. My 3/5 is for atmosphere, decor and great staff. Unfortunately, the food really lets everything else down. We both decided to eat Asian style fish… I had the salmon, my husband the swordfish… neither was good . Some sort of paste smothered on both of our fish which we both scrapped off and mine was very average for the price. My husbands was swimming in a very salty, sugary slop! Noodles and new potatoes in the mix, never seen that before and almost inedible. He ate the fish cos he was so hungry!!! Maybe we should have stuck to more traditional pub grub !! A shame because they charged close to £20 per main course and I expected more. Won’t be eating there again unfortunately… one of those nights when you wish you’d cooked at home.

We met friends there who come from Norfolk and were on holiday in Kent , we come from West Sussex, we would definitely come again. The staff and food were really good and good value, well done
