Smashing meal once again - loved the brunch menu. The smoked salmon with walnuts was divine, the crème brûlée outstanding and the overall atmosphere and service superb. Well done to all involved 👏

About the restaurant
The Cat Inn is a 16th century free house set in the picturesque village of West Hoathly, a hilltop village set in the heart of the Sussex countryside. It is in within easy distance from the towns of East Grinstead and Haywards Heath and only 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport.

The Pub with its oak beams and two inglenook fireplaces proffers a warm and cosy atmosphere in the winter, whilst our terrace is perfect to enjoy a drink and food in the summer months. Being a free house we pride ourselves in the quality of our real ale, and concentrate on local breweries, such as Harvey's of Lewes and other micro breweries. Our food is cooked to order, using fresh, seasonal and where possible locally sourced ingredients. Our menus change on a regular basis and we also offer a small selection of seasonal specials on a daily basis.

We welcome children over the age of 7. Dogs are welcome in the "pub" area of the Cat, they are not permitted in the dining room

The food was outstanding, we were two couples and we all had something different and every dish was perfect. The service we received was excellent and staff were very accommodating. The only slightly negative thing I would say is the ambiance was not brilliant, more of a cafe feel than a restaurant. Having said this I would highly recommend this restaurant, we will definitely being going back. One last thing, the location is excellent right next door to the Bent Arms and on the high street of the beautiful village of Lindfield.

It was my husband’s birthday, we were going to Worthing to see our son. Not knowing where to eat I booked your restaurant online, we live in the midlands, fingers crossed all would be fine because my husband new nothing of the booking as it was a surprise meal for his birthday. I shouldn’t have worried, it was a wonderful meal, staff also. We will be back, when we’re in Worthing next time. Thank you. Best meal we’ve had out for a while. Christine Cooper

We were mainly looked after by Tabatha at front of house who was very attentive to our needs. We were a party of 8 celebrating an 80th Birthday. The food was delicious, hot and all served together. The pod was cosy and well presented. We will definitely return and would recommend to friends and relatives.

Came for Sunday lunch and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The staff were attentive and very polite. The food was very good, we ordered the roast beef and a nut wellington both if which came with green veg, huge roast potatoes cooked to perfection (crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside) and a parsnip puree which was delicious. Puddings were a decent size too! We also ordered the house red which was very drinkable. Overall a really nice lunch in a beautiful old pub. I’d recommend - we plan to return.

This is Haywards Heath little gem. The food is always great with friendly, helpful service. The choice covers all tastes and the menu is not overwhelming. You can request a tweet to your choice and the staff will always accommodate if possible. There is never a long wait for your food. Great place for a meal out

I would say that the experience at the Fig Tree gets even better but in fact the standard is so high that it couldn't! The food was beautifully cooked and presented,with just the right level of attention from Jodie and her staff . The only small quibble , about which little can be done, is the lack of sound baffling so that it can become distractingly noisy . Hence 24 out 25 ! I doubt there s a better dining experience this side of London
