The Half Moon Inn - Mid Sussex

Booked for Sunday lunch, we had been before it was very nice, boy how different it was today! Waited over an hour for a starter, after it was paraded to the next table it eventually ended up in front of me, warm dish 5 prawns , not the best start Sat at table 4, lots of noise from chef ‘pippa’ in the kitchen, dishing out prefers, not that relaxing Sunday lunch. Then transpired they had no chips, not the we were bothered as we were waiting on roasts, but ‘Pippa’ from the kitchen started to f blind, sorry I came for Sunday lunch, not to hear a load of expletives!! Complained to manager, who said our roasts were on their way, by which time, we didn’t want to stay, so paid for our drinks left. Not a happy experience certainly will not return. Sort yourselves out half moon, you need to set the service to the standard that matches your prices

Despite me being a solo walk in on a Sunday lunchtime the staff were friendly, welcoming and arranged a table for me. The food was delicious and served piping hot. A lovely venue to have lunch and thoroughly recommended.

We met friends for lunch and were hopeful when we walked in as it is a very attractive pub. The first person who served us (owner/manager? was very funny with us when three of us ordered the vegetarian option. She made a point of going to ask the kitchen if that was ok and said that vegetarians normally phoned ahead to warn them! Really in 2022? We had another waitress who brought our food and took drinks orders who was very friendly and helpful. The passive aggressive waitress was back to take our bill though and was very unimpressed when we wanted to split it 50/50 and asked her to do that maths! Food was unexceptional but perfectly tasty, but the odd service would probably put us off returning.

Went in after a nice sunny walk, waited at the bar whilst the barmaid was at the till, after a few minutes without her saying hello, or “I’ll be with you in a minute” I asked if “they were still serving food?” She replied: “have you booked? If you haven’t booked you can’t eat” At this point there was one table with people on it, and the rest of the pub was completely empty. I said “ok, well can we stop for a drink?” And she replied “yeah but I’m busy”. And wandered off. Incredibly rude barmaid. Think it’d be best to take your service elsewhere if you were planning to book a table.

Me and my partner arrived at the half moon in after making a reservation over the phone. we then got there we we’re told that there was a 45 minute wait with no table. we managed to get a table after seeing several free ones in the pub. it only got worse from there. we were waiting for over 20 minutes just to order drinks and we didn’t get our food until nearly 50 minutes later. when our food arrived my boyfriend had a problem with the burger no biggie he just wanted a new bun. however when he told the waiter this the waiter was seen telling this to the manager and the manager responded “ tell him to **** off” my boyfriend was very offended and upset by this as was i. i’m truly disgusted at the staff in this pub not to mention the overall atmosphere felt judgy and a bit locals only. the worst thing is the food wasn’t even good so it wasn’t even worth being told to **** off. i 100% DO NOT RECCOMEND this pub and i hope that the rude staff get what’s coming.
