Tommy Flynn's And Diner - Mid Sussex

Just do not go (unless your face fits). It was lovely Saturday Afternoon (29th April) everyone was outside; ventured inside, nobody at the Bar serving, or waiting to be served except me for a good 5 minutes or so. All of a sudden 3 Barmaids arrived from behind the Bar and, presumably their Boyfriends came from behind whom immediately wanted to be served; really did seem that I was invisible? Eventually someone felt like serving, just wanted the pint of Guinness, also enquired about buying food because there was a menu on Bar, was advertised outside, serving food all day? “Oh” she said, “don’t start serving food until after 7” At that time was just after 5, felt a bit peckish, finished my pint and went up to the Subway for a tasty snack. Don’t know whether or not it was my appearance (always try and look clean and smart) or, because I looked elderly/alone? ADVICE, steer clear!

We stopped by this charming little pub just outside of East Grinstead's BlueBell Railway station for lunch and a few drinks while waiting for our train. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made for a pleasant experience. The portions of food were generous and we especially enjoyed the hummus. However, my fish finger sandwich left me feeling a bit under the weather and the desserts were on the smaller side (we returned one). Despite this, we still found it to be a fantastic pub overall. It was spacious, clean, with well-kept restrooms and accommodating locals. We would definitely come back again.

Great pub. Excellent variety of food and reasonably priced. Indoor layout is spacious even on busy nights. Staff are so lovely and friendly. The best atmosphere as it can be relaxed or a party environment depending on the day. Would definitely come again.

I had high expectations for this pub based on good reviews, but was disappointed upon arrival. Both my starter and main course were unavailable, so I had to choose something else. When the food finally arrived after a 35-minute wait, I was shocked by the poor quality. The shrimp was undercooked and dripping with water, the pie was drowned in watery gravy, and the mashed potatoes were extremely dry, tasting like instant mash with a chemical flavor. I received a full refund for both dishes, but the troubles continued after leaving the pub. My companions and I all felt sick shortly after eating, with me spending an hour vomiting when I got home. It has been two hours and I still feel unwell. This was the worst meal I've had in a long time, and it cost £62.

My husband (who is vegetarian) and I went to this restaurant with another couple. Unfortunately, they only serve burgers with no vegetarian options available. When we inquired about this, we were told to go outside and eat grass or go to McDonald's down the road for a vegetarian option. This response was not what we expected, especially when trying to retain customers. They also stated that there is no possibility of adding a vegetarian option to the menu in the future.
