Fig Tree - Hassocks

The food and service can only be described as par excellence, exceptional value for money compared to other local fine dining restaurants. This small village restaurant deserves recognition with at least in the Michelin guide.

Superb fine dining at a reasonable price. Good wine. Lovely staff and surroundings. We'll come again !

The food here is trly amazingly good and probably the most imaginative in Sussex. Every dish is a delight and the service perfect. Very nice SA Chenin at a reasonable price

Whilst the local pub and restaurant food is pretty good all round this part of Sussex, the Fig Tree in Hurstpierpoint is a quite exceptional eating experience. One of our party described it quite correctly as 'Gravetye at half the price '. The four of us had the set lunch menu, lobster starters were quite beautiful as was the wood pigeon breast and the mains of brill and pork both superb. Finally the black currant dessert was wonderfully imaginative.

Seven course set menu was all good . Very good beef and a lovely fresh confit tomato with buratta were two high points Good small wine list.
