Reviews of The Hatch Inn

M. F.

Its a nice enough country pub, we came one evening, were the only people at the bar and the girl was more interested in going home than serving us, rude. We also had a meal here, price doesn't reflect the quality, it was as good as any decent pub, but our side of chips was brought to our table when we were half way through our main. The general experience was average so 3 stars is appropriate.

R. S.

Very cosy pub. We had lunch following a walk in Ashdown Forest. Fishcakes were a bit potato heavy and lacked oomph which is why only 4 stars. Red mullet was lovely and service was great.

D. B.

A visit to The Hatch is a trip down memory lane for my wife who grew up in the area and has fond memories of visiting in the past. The location in the forest is wonderful and the building is a gem. Harvey's bitter on tap, plus a couple of other local cask ales - can't go wrong. Great food - a bit pricey - but very enjoyable. Friendly, attentive staff. Clean toilets. Recommended.

L. F.

Visited the Hatch with friends. A lovely atmospheric place. The welcome was friendly and the staff were very helpful. We all ate different items from the menu and the food was delicious as usual. We have been many times before. Looking forward to going back soon

I. S.

Nice food but really long waiting time, and finally when you get food, they make you feel rushed to finish food faster.

T. D. N.

Being a local resident I always enjoy this pub , love the fact that they have included local bottled cider and the old faves too . Staff were really friendly and helpful, and my American in laws call it “ the spiritual home away from home “ . Great pub a huge must

B. G.

The thing about the Hatch is that it's a beautiful place to spend a lazy weekend day, no matter what. Generally, it struggles with the unsustainable popularity:capacity ratio with which it's cursed by its idyllic setting (don't be surprised if you're turned away for food because you haven't booked, or if you have booked but you still end up waiting an age for service), but why not take the risk? It's lovely.

J. P.

A nice atmosphere in a quiet country pub. Welcoming staff and great food. I returned again this weekend with my wife, father and his dog. The dog was welcomed with a stroke and a biscuit and then seen off with with more strokes and biscuits.

S. B.

Such a nice place! Beautiful cottage and they are taking the new measurements serious which is great! If your in the neighborhood would definitely recommend going. Take a good appetite with you becuase they have big portions!

R. D.

Super country pub, great food and service.

P. M.

Very pleasant. A great old and unspoilt pub.

R. B.

Small. Low ceiling. Good loos. And good food.

P. B.

Perfect afternoon spent with family and amazing beer (guinness). Busy and extremely friendly staff and customers. 👍👍👍. Not tried the food as place was fully booked up. …

K. M.

Wonderful customer service, great beer, food smelt great so booking a table for next week. Very dog friendly, treats for our furbaby too.

D. K.

First of all the food was nice. But the sample menu they have on their Web site (which is why we went) is nothing like the menu in house. We were disappointed by the menu. The white wine that was brought out to us was warm, tryed to make an excuse and brought us some ice. Probably won't go again.

S. B.

Lovely old Pub in beautiful english countryside. Cosy fireside atmosphere. Tasty beer and food on offer. Well worth a visit.

M. R.

Had an excellent lunch, good sized portions well presented, price was very good the two ladies behind the jump where a credit to the pub. Parking is on the road so get there early, near the top of my pubs to return to list

P. K.

A little gem of a pub serving delicious food. Very welcoming staff, booking essential.

T. S.

Nice country side pub, lovely place for Sunday lunch. Dogs friendly place with beer garden outside.

J. C.

Food excellent once it arrived, book if you want to sit in the shade outside

J. P.

Absolutely superb! Can’t wait until next visit!

S. L.

Great atmosphere. Attractive bar staff. Real historic feel.

P. B.

Thank you for a memorable lunch. Superb food, amazing service and delicious food. 5 stars and highly recommended. You should be very proud of your staff. Lovely bunch.

I. R.

Small and quaint, limited seating inside or out. Parking virtually no existent. Ok for hikers.

T. S.

Food was good, service was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

P. G.

Diverse menu, well presented and tasty food, nice staff and fantastic ambience. Highly recommended

R. B.

Went today for the first time to The Hatch. Cant believe how good the whole experience was from the amazing service and friendly staff to the fabulous food, the quaint 'Country Pub' interior and fab Christmas decorations and amazingly even the very friendly owner Nick moving his car so we could park!! Thanks to Nick and all the Nickie's, first class and we will be back (frequently!)

P. C.

Great country pub on edge of Ashdown Forest. Great food, well presented. Good staff a plenty of space, seating and Great Gin bar!! Great place to dine and meet friends.

M. R.

A very enjoyable experience with good service and wines; inventive delicious starters and superb desserts. My only disappointment was that the roast beef was almost half fat but the roast potatoes, other vegetables and yorkshire pudding were tasty.

R. W.

Lovely lunch in a beautiful place, the pub dates to 1460 but the menu has changed 🙂. Generous portions of simple unfussy slightly rustic food, a proper plateful. Charming service and not to much of a shock at the till. Worth a drive but don't be in a hurry …

I. B.

Awesome little country pub. Ancient low ceiling. Not the spit & sawdust place we remember from 25yrs ago - now you have to book a table or go hungry.

M. G.

Great atmosphere, attentive service. Excellent food. A little tricky parking but don't let this spoil your visit. You'll want to go back again.

C. B.

Traditional country pub on the edge of Ashdown Forest, popular with walkers in Pooh territory. Serves good food with friendly, accommodating staff who dealt well with our children-weighted family group of 10. Suggest booking essential for groups - get in there at 1200 to help the kitchen!

K. G.

Overall the dining experience was fair. The menu was a bit disappointing given the expectation of it being a gastro-pub and was highly recommended. Service was efficient and matter of fact. May have to return to try again, won’t be in a hurry to do so!

C. M.

My fiancé and I had a delicious meal at The Hatch Inn. Contrary to some previous reviews, I found everyone we met who worked there to be friendly, passionate about the pub and its food and a pleasure to talk to. In particular, Giles was attentive and very helpful, and made sure we had a fantastic time. The only thing I could comment on is that the medium-rare steak was a bit more cooked than I expected, but the flavour was still excellent and the triple-cooked chips were simply devine. The outdoor space is also very welcoming and atmospheric, particularly on a warm summer night - the garden at the back has views which are simply incredible and only add to a wonderful experience overall. Do drop in if you're in the vicinity!

F. D.

Set in the Ashdown forest, this pub is in such a lovely location. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is well cooked and tasty. Generous portions too! Our drinks were served exactly how we like them. I thoroughly recommend visiting this pub.

C. d. C.

Long time favourite of mine. Just go and enjoy a pint of Harvey's and good pub food. East Sussex gem.

C. K.

Gorgeous friendly cosy pub. Great food and really good cocktails too. Lovely staff. What's not to love X

L. F.

First visit for some years and not disappointed. Friendly and good humoured welcome from the Landlord, great service at the table and really good pub food. Main courses universally loved by all 8 of the group. Pud selection slightly 'off-piste' but still good. Would recommend.

W. L.

Great pub that I will visit again. I liked the Czech beer that was on tap, I think it was called Padál. I hope this pub along with many others are able to recover from the past year of approximately 8-9 months of lockdowns/Tiers 3 and 4 restrictions.

m. u.

Dropped by for an impromptu lunch. Kitchen was about to close but they happily took our order. Delicious food, great pint of Harvey's (and others! ) all reasonably priced, served up efficiently by very pleasant staff. Thank you all!

J. L.

A great little country pub with friendly and welcoming staff. Food was good with a great menu with plenty of different dishes to choose from. The beers available were very good although there is only a small selection. I would definitely recommend this as a place to eat and drink if you are nearby.

A. T.

Delicious food and great local beer. Great service. Quite pricey though. 3 starters, 4 mains, 2 beers, 2 waters, 1 dessert, 3 coffees. £125 at lunch time . 🤨 …

S. B.

Delicious food! Lots of variety on the menu like sausage and mash, fish and chips and a variety of different sandwiches! Something for everyone to choose. Very friendly bar staff and cozy atmosphere. After a long walk to the pooh stick bridge, coming here to a warm cozy pub with a great ale selection was the perfect way to end my friends birthday.

C. H.

Great pub. Great service. Lovely location

t. A.

Good food, dog friendly bistro pub!

a. t.

I treated my Mum to lunch here today and as always everything was just perfect. The food is fabulous the staff are so helpful and friendly, they always go out of their way to make each visit so special and memorable. It's a good idea to always book a table as they're so popular, they are often full. Thanks so much!

N. L. M.

During a monsoon storm we sheltered here under their covered area before they were open. They were very welcoming and made us coffee, whilst preparing for a busy day, showing real concern for our ride back through the flooded roads. A beautiful pub with lovely genuine staff.

J. T.

This is a cosy pub. Decent country cooking and well looked after beers. We have only tried the Sunday roast, so can't speak for the rest of the menu, but it was very high quality. Obviously local ingredients and a capable kitchen staff. Only issue is it is a little bit cramped inside, and we were sat right next to the fire.

S. W.

We booked a table for 7pm on a Sat night, wise as it was fully booked. Food was very good. Menu fresh for the sitting and mostly British gormet pub fare. My fish was well cooked, slightly over seasoned, and the bean stew delicious. My partner's steak was perfectly cooked, we'll seasoned, generous and very tasty. Pudding beyond nice, a highlight. That's the good stuff. The wine disappointed. In France, restaurants don't serve bad wine, even the cheapest on the menu! Why do we put up with this in the UK? We'll stick to beer next time. And reason for only 3 stars? The smell of sewage coming from the beer garden. Very offputting.

d. h.

This pub is very pleasant indeed. Nicely situated although dining outside to the front of the premises is done with the traffic noise of the surprisingly busy lane that passes the pub. Will be much better when the garden to the rear becomes available. Service was appropriate for the time of day, 1.30 - 2.00, and the number of other customers. The food was very nice and well presented. The one negative was that our main courses turned up at the same time as our starters and, whilst it would seem a small thing to some, my soup was delivered without a soup spoon and despite being told one would be provided I had to go to the bar a few minutes later to collect this. I would not want to stop here on a busy day although I will at least drive past to check it out.

R. A.

Great spot on Ashdown Forest for a cosy lunch or dinner

J. E.

Lovely location, great food, friendly staff

N. H.

Great food and service. More seating outside than inside. Old (1450) place with character that you'd expect. Only downside is parking - you have to park along the already narrow roads.

s.

Food isn't cheap (starters are £6.50-£8, mains are £14-£24), but worth every penny. On a Monday there were lots of locals at the bar, which is always a good sign, and the restaurant was almost fully booked,always a good sign. The food was superb and the service excellent. Will certainly go again.

H. B.

Took My Disabled brother and partner out for Lunch Very freindly and helpful staff made to feel very welcome and felt very safe. Gorgeous and tasty Lunch in Beautiful and Picturesque Setting. 100% satisfaction on all aspects

A. A.

Old pub very children unfriendly. Food ok

P. M.

Lovely atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating under cover. Food was excellent, plenty of choice to suit most tastes.

S. H.

Excellent all round. Menu was really good, good sizes and really good quality. Friendly staff and beautiful setting away, we will be back. Great summer pub or cosy winter.

S. H.

Excellent service with very friendly and helpful staff. Food was good, we are outside in the marquee. Lots of outdoor tables. Parking can be an issue and a challenge at times.

E. K.

loved this place, a real historic little pub, the ambience was really fab. and the food was delicious. selection of craft beer was more than adequate. loved it, would easily come again if I was in the area.

A. B.

Great food, fabulous old world pub setting, good service. Definitely a place to return to and enjoy again.

R. W.

Vert nice food, good service in a tight space.

A. E.

Stopped by for lunch on a cycle from Cowden to Uckfield. Chosen for convenience and having a garden but was really impressed by the staff and food! Feels covid safe and the mussels were delish, pork schnitzel even moreso. Totally recommend.

E. H.

We did an unplanned stop here on the drive back to London from Eastbourne since my mum needed to stretch her legs etc and it was such a delight to stumble across it! The staff were so lovely and it was perfect sitting outside with a delicious coffee (jug of frothy hot milk provided) rejuvenating for the rest of the journey. Everyone there was very friendly and there were lovely moments. The food looked and smelt absolutely gorgeous and I am hoping to return sometime soon and sample it!

G. B.

Interesting 'snug' old pub with good food and very dog friendly. They got quite a few dogs when we were there, so if your dog is not friendly or you don't like dogs this might not be for you. Plenty of outdoor seating if you are lucky with the weather. Roadside parking only.

D. B.

This pub is a local historic institution with consistent quality food and a relaxed atmosphere. A favourite with the locals.

J. P. M.

Beautiful historic pub nestled in the heart of the Ashdown Forest with lots of outside space. Impressive-looking (but not cheap!) food offer - didn't try it though!

D. K.

Excellent beer and food! Well worth a visit but please exercise caution when parking the car. The country pub of old with great service and food plus a wonderful atmosphere! A friendly welcome is what you will find.

C. M.

A lucky find in Ashdown Forest for our first Covid pub night. This isolated pub on a crossroad delivered an excellent and inventive pub grub dinner. Not your usual fare and presented well. I had a (over!)large firecracker chicken Asian style starter followed by lobster and king prawn risotto. Both magnificent. The service was charming although mask covered which gave it a slightly surreal edge. But hey these are the times in which we live. Recommended.

J. C.

Fantastic country pub - as a pub should be! Doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Great food and a well kept pint of Harvey's. Gets very busy especially at weekends, so best to book if you're eating.

V. R.

An old school pub serving old school food, just on the Ashdown Forest. Has changed a lot over the years, but definitely worth a visit even if just for a sun washed drink in the garden.

D. L.

A proper old style pub - a bit on the small side perhaps but the welcome was big, the beer great and the food even better. Really good efficient service too. Top marks.

R. S.

This is a lovely historical pub with quaint old English features. When visiting Ashdown Forest, it's a great place to eat and drink. It's very popular and does take reservations. Being traditional, food is served during specific times.

L. S.

Pub with a garden. Closing times are later than 4pm. I think it could be quiet expensive to each there. I liked it had dog biscuits available. Oh watch out for the passage way, very low celling leading to the toilets

S. G.

Great pub with lovely garden. Good really different and tasty food. Puddings amazing, large portion big enough to share. Price average for good pub grub

D. H.

Lovely country pub pm the edge of Ashdown Forest. Good beer and really nice food, the Hatch isn't the cheapest of places to eat, but it does represent good value. It was busy when we visited and I would recommend booking a table. Parking is mostly on street and can be tricky during busy times. Nice little pub.

M.

I came here today after visiting Ashdown Forest home of Winnie the Pooh on day one of my trip I was craving some good pub food after a long walk and found the Hatch inn on my way back to the busstop I was served by Gabby and Tommy around 7pm it was a quiet night and everyone was very welcoming and friendly I ordered a cheeseburger which came with chips and it was delicious one of the best I have ever tasted! It hit the spot and was so filling I didnt manage to finish it all The service was amazing the staff were super friendly and gave me information about the local area of Hartfield After I was finished with my food, Gabby was kind enough to offer me a lift back to East Grinstead as her shift ended, rather than waiting around in the dark for the last bus to turn up, I accepted and thanked her for her generosity It was a lovely evening and both Tommy and Gabby's great service and kindness was greatly appreciated The prices are good, service is quick and food is fab I will be returning again and recommending to family and friends if they ever come this way for a holiday Thankyou very much for everything

E. L.

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Would totally recommend

O.

Lovely little traditional pub with good food, great beer and friendly staff.

D. W.

Excellent quality and good service. Recommended.

A. S.

We had a family meal for 6 last weekend. Between us we had a fair range of dishes and they were all excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive and we will certainly be returning soon.

D. S.

Great meal ., Good service ., Would be better if stayed open longer and staggered servings... Highly recommended .

A. S.

Food was very good (mezze platter and fish and chips), but took a while to arrive, although it was a sunny Sunday so busy, and pleasant to sit outside waiting with a pint of Harveys! All in all, a beautiful and charming little rural pub.

D.

Great service. Lovely food and atmosphere. Top lunch. Would definitely recommend! Thanks to Abbey also. A lovely waitress.

G.

Lovely ambience, lovely staff and terrific food. Felt like we struck out gold driving through our way back to London

P. G.

Amazing food . Great staff

K. K.

lovely surroundings, nice atmosphere and lovely food...just a big shame that the back garden bit absolutely reaks of compost and human waste. not really where you wanna sit and eat when there are no free tables inside or on the front. I'd give 2.5 stars to be honest. sorry.

J. S.

The pork was very good. Beautiful location, lovely old building, if very slightly cramped when full on a Saturday evening. Clean facilities, friendly service. Not cheap, but top-notch quality rarely is.

D. B.

Calves liver was amazing.

S. T.

A lovely little country pub, hidden away near Ashdown Forst. The place itself is quite cosy inside. A handful of tables for 4 people, all quite close together, and a few larger tables. It was busy when we went, but we still managed to find a table. There are a few seats out the front, and a sizable beer garden out the back, too. There's no dedicated car park, so lots of cars parked along the narrow roar outside. The menu options were more on the cheffy side: duck confit, calves' liver, and so on. All moderately priced, but not a huge variety. I had the liver, and it was excellent. There's a variety of sandwiches available too, and they'll do those in smaller portions for children. High chairs were available. Deserts were standard gasto-pub faire. The toffee pudding and the cheese board were both really good. The staff were friendly and helpful, but seemed quite busy. They were constantly rushing to and from the kitchen with plates of food, and both our main course and deserts took a long time to arrive. Overall, an enjoyable meal. I'd certainly go again.

A. A.

Really lovely Sunday Lunch food was exceptional and despite covid rules forcing us into a marquee and a torrential downpour we were warm and dry great effort by the staff. Thanks

W. P.

Fantastic staff a bit pricey for food a set priced menu would be nice

C. S.

An Historic pub set in the alluring Ashdown Forest. Nice local crowd. Always good beer. Food could be better. The bottom of the garden regularly smells of sewage which is a pity.

P. A.

Very popular Inn. A summer's or spring sunny day + beer garden = perfect.

A. E.

Great place. My 2 English Setters particularly enjoyed the welcome. And so did we. Good food and a lovely place to eat and relax. Tony and Jenny Edwards

P. L.

Wonderful little country pub . Visited today and was made very welcome. All the food freshly cooked and absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back.

P. B.

Had a very good home made curry here. It's expensive but I thought good value for money. A very old building and a little cramped inside. Still worth the journey. In my case from near Epsom.

P. L.

We've dropped by several times now, always had a good reception. Whether just for a drink, maybe a starter (the scotch egg is highly recommended) or a full meal (GREAT fish'n'chips) just do it.😁👍 …

A.

Probably the best pub food we’ve ever eaten (and we’ve eaten a lot). Great service and a rustic atmosphere.

C. S.

Improving! Good service under new management & food is tasty. A few more fishy & veg options on the main menu would be great & some better french champagne but all in all it's lovely

Z. R. C.

Nice food, a little pricey for what you get.

N. H.

Very nice pub, nice place to sit in the sun with a beer

E. P.

Excellent food, lovely staff and pretty setting. Well worth the visit!

A. L.

Was a little disappointed by the limited menu selection but the staff were convivial and ever willing to help. My sea trout was beautifully cooked, so overall a thumbs up.

A. H.

Lovely location in the middle of the Sussex countryside. Service friendly though not as fast as it might be. Food very nice indeed.

H. N.

Really helpful with a variety of vegan choices. Absolutely to die for chocolate and coffee torte. Amazing service prior to and booking and throughout our visit.

N. B.

Good food and service, only ongoing issue was entrance door, we went with family on NY day and were seated in small restaurant area and our lunch was continually interrupted by people not closing an entrance door that to be fair led into restaurant area, given their were two entrance doors this should be locked as we had to get up 15 plus times to shut it as coldest day, very irritating indeed....

D. B. N. E. d.

Still a great a little treasure of a pub. Look it up great in rhe summer and winter

J. P.

Great food. Paella was amazing as were the staff. So worth a visit x

B. R.

Took a friend here for lunch, the place is a jewel, just how you expext it to be inside with an open fire and low beamed ceilings are just beautiful and give a warm cosy atmosphere.. We both had the Butternut Squash Soup as a starter which was fantastic, nice and warming on a cold day, to follow I had the Honey Roasted Gamon with mash and fried egg it was presented perfectly and tasted gorgeous. . My friend had the Smoked Fillet Salmon with Crayfish and Mussle Risotto which she enjoyed as much as i did mine saying the Mussels were perfect.. we were full but couldn't resist sharing the Christmas Pudding with Brandy Custard.. compliments to the whole staff for the wonderful food and welcoming atmosphere. . I recommend The Hatch Very highly and will be recommending it to all my Friends

C. H.

"The pub" of my childhood. So different now ..great atmosphere, good service and delicious food Bert and Nellie wouldn't recognise it, though the beams and fireplace are unchanged!!

A. M.

Called in for a drink as part of our remanisance tour as this used to be our favourite pub nearly 50 years ago!! Mainly unchanged but Restaurant was new to us.

I. R.

Cosy inside and lots of garden space outside for those sunny days. Decent and typical pub menu and the food was of a good standard. Nice country retreat

H. S.

Brilliant, really good food and a good location

R. L.

Really friendly small traditional pub with good food and good ales. Open fire.

A. F.

An unspoilt country pub serving a variety of Sussex ales, and great food at reasonable prices. We have to keep these gems viable!!

N. K.

We loved the Coat Of Arms on the hamlet’s sign “Coleman’s Hatch” and the low ceilings of this really delightful restaurant and bar - you’ll have to book!! Heralded as a “landmark public house located in the heart of Ashdown Forest,” according to the pub’s website. The bit I love the most is the AA Milne wrote most of her books here: Winnie The Pooh and Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore went to a bridge nearby to throw their sticks over and race them to the other side. There are some original illustrations on the walls. The Hartfield postal code is famed for many great assets like the Ashdown Park Hotel - don’t skip that if you get a coupe of nights free. You’ll find yourself enchanted! This is the Hatch and the hamlet is so whimsical no wonder Winnie The Pooh made his home near here.

s. m.
