This is a gem of a Pub that is owned by the community and it's pride in ownership shows in everything it does. The staff all came over and chatted with us during our visit and they made us feel like we were long time friends. The food was great and lots of it for the price. The variety of beer on tap was large enough to satisfy everyone's tastes and comes in a true pint size which I appreciated. The Half Moon Inn is now on our "must return to" list of places the next time we are in Britain.
Lovely pub, great atmosphere, felt incredibly welcomed and at home. Pleasantly suprised by the choice of drinks, and mixers (including niche gins) and the wine list was expansive. Will definitely come back to try the food 👍🏻
Stopped for lunch to break up a long walk from Ardingly Reservoir car park. We had a very friendly welcome, lovely refreshing drink and lunch was very good - ham, egg and chips and Camembert with toasted baguette. Would recommend.
This was a very nice lunch stop on our hike around the reservoir and to the viaduct. The service seemed a bit slow, but the coziness and the delicious food made up for it.
Very charming little place with great staff, we actually came back twice in a row at the weekend! The food is great and they even have their own beer which is very tasty. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
What a cozy and quaint pub. The food was so tasty and filling. The staff are friendly and inviting and they welcome dogs, as there is a local dog walk at their doorstep. This makes it very popular, so book a table if you’re interested in visiting.
If you’re around the area it’s a must visit.
What a lovely hidden gem in the English countryside. A small and intimate pub that does not disappoint on any level. The pub is separated into three sections. This is ideal as we went for a meal during a football match. The footie fans had their own section, then there was the main bar area and then the allocated dining area. We sat in the dining area, that was a perfect distance from the football, but also allowed for us to be part of the atmosphere, without it being 'forced' down our throats.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food is OUTSTANDING! The chef and his team sent out perfectly presented and perfectly tasting food. Each mouthful was a delight. I highly recommend this pub!
This pub is a must stop after a long walk in the reservoir! Lovely little pub, nicely decorated and the service is very friendly. Did not manage to try their food but judging from other people's plates, it did look very nice.
The Food here was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
I had the Chicken Burger and my Cousin had the Cheeseburger We loved it! Will most definitely go there again for food!
I'll be there on Chicken night on Thursdays :)
Cosy traditional village pub, food was excellent and reasonably priced, staff were very friendly and attentive plus they’ve just launched their own local micro brewery. Highly recommend, look forward to visiting again.
Had a fantastic meal here last night after visiting Wakehurst Place on a very cold December evening for Glow Wild. Highly recommend the Mac and Cheese side. A great community pub. It is quite small so I would book ahead.
Staff and locals are lovely. Choice of beers is great and the food is absolutely banging, easily up there with anything I've had in Brighton/London etc. A hidden gem.
