The Bay Tree Brasserie - Mid Sussex

Overpriced and poor service. After looking at the menu priced I ordered what I thought was one of the cheaper options, but after 10% had been added to the bill my Salad ended up costing over £17. Vastly overpriced for what it was. Service was very poor, despite the restaurant being fairly quiet the drink I ordered with my meal came a staggering 25 mins after I ordered it. Roughly at the time I was requesting my bill after eating my main course. If I am in this area again I will not eat at this restaurant. There are better options nearby.

Restaurant was cold. Waitress offered supplimentary heating. We were the only people in the restaurant all evening and the staff were over attentive. Zero atmosphere. Food took a little too long considering they were only doing room service and us.

Very good food, I had the belly pork which was extremely tasty. Wife had the risotto which she said was also very good. Good value for money and attentive staff.

Mon lunch was v quiet only 4 in total in restaurant. So ambiance couldn’t be properly assessed. However everything else lovely especially the staff.

Our table was booked for 20:15, there was only 1 main person on shift and 2 trainee waiting staff. We had to chase our drinks twice, we had to ask to order, it took our starter an hour to come out. At 21:50 we were still waiting for our main meal. The lady that was on shift was very apologetic but she was literally running the restaurant on her own! All the tables around us also had to chase their food and 1 couple even gave up waiting for their drinks and went and ordered their own from the bar! Although the restaurant was fairly busy there were still lots of empty tables and now I can see why! Very disappointed
