Restaurant Tristan

Fantastic evening in an unhurried atmosphere. The food was superb and I would highly recommend this amazing restaurant. Small parties only which keeps the atmosphere close and friendly, the staff engaged with us very well and we had a good chance to laugh with them. Prepare to be there for a long time, you far a lot of food and really need to allow time to enjoy it properly.

Restaurants with 1 Michelin star can be sometimes hit and miss - but Restaurant Tristan was hit after hit after hit(!). Highly impressed with the sheer inventiveness and variety of dishes, from an amazing quail plate that was a take on a Caesar salad, to the delicious prawn and harissa. The “three little pigs” - with the tenderloin, belly and terrine all standout. The scallop beef dish was just so tasty with a great mix of textures and flavours. There really wasn’t a weak course at all, which is so extremely rare in a multi course (semi)tasting menu. This simply is top end cooking to rival any other top class restaurants anywhere in the UK. We had the 6 course menu and were full and satisfied by the end - I actually doubt we could have taken down the full 9 course, so just bear that in mind when ordering. On certain weekdays you can go a la carte where you choose anywhere between 2 and 4 courses. Service was first class - friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and genuine - really makes a difference and makes you want to come back again for sure. £190 for two (both went 6 courses) with a couple of drinks. I think for the quality of food and staff, this represents strong value for money, given what you can end up spending on some of the michies in London for example. Should be on any food fan’s must go to list. 17/20

Good service and inventive combination of food!!! I had the Xmas menu for £45 (4 courses with a glass of mulled wine Bellini) and some of us had the a la carte option (4 courses for £50) While I did enjoy the Xmas menu, the options from the a la carte menu was much better - think I will go for that next time😅

We visited for a work's Christmas lunch with a large group of 23. The group was split into three tables and essentially treated as three different groups to ensure they could adequately prepare the meals. As well as the "normal" taster menu they have pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan offerings so no one has to miss out on the brilliant food here. The staff are friendly without an air of superiority that sometimes accompanies fine dining. The food is gorgeous and the drink offerings are wide ranging; there will definitely be something for you.

Exquisite. Yes, really exquisite. We went for lunch (to celebrate) and did it pay off? Oh yes! Lovely atmosphere, terrific service and the food and wine (not to mention the apperatives) simply superb. From the moment we arrived the welcome was warm and informative. Lucky Horsham - use this wonderful restaurant...

Excellent fare. We went for the four course lunch menu for £35. The starters and main were superb - lovely play between textures and flavours of meat fish and veg. Desserts were good ... But not wow. The crab starter and the salmon were outstanding. Only gripe was the fois gras which was just too salty and not as well balanced as the other dishes.
