Roebuck - Wealden

We had a very disappointing Mother's Day meal at this restaurant. We were seated in the bar area, where it was difficult to hear the piano entertainment. The furniture was old, dirty, and shabby, in need of a decor upgrade. The arm chairs were particularly dirty and in need of replacement. The starters were okay, but the main courses were lacking. The turkey dinner was decent, but the sprouts and carrots were not great. The sirloin of beef was severely undercooked and fatty. The staff were friendly and accommodating, offering us a discount on our bill after we switched our meals to pork and turkey. However, the cheap cutlery made it difficult to cut through the Yorkshire puddings and beef. It's a shame because the venue has potential, and it's surprising that Greene King allows it to continue in this condition.

An absolutely terrible restaurant. The staff were rude and unwelcoming. The food was awful - cold, undercooked, and inedible. One staff member was especially rude to my 14-year-old son, causing him distress. They also tried to overcharge us by adding items we didn't order to our bill and were argumentative when questioned. When I confronted the staff member who had insulted my son, he denied it ever happening. A truly dreadful establishment.

Came here for Xmas day, first time, staff made sure all our requirements were met prior to arrival. Tables laid out beautifully and staff extremely welcoming. Food came out and looked and tasted wonderful, great space between courses, never felt rushed. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and every course delicious. Will definitely be returning!

The festive menu offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes to suit every taste. The Halloumi Fries were a delicious starter, while the Beef Bourguignon stood out as a flavorful and tender main course. The Limoncello Tart provided a refreshing finale. The chef's skill and dedication to creating memorable flavors were evident in every bite. In addition to the excellent dining experience, The Roebuck Hotel is conveniently located near several attractions, including the enchanting Ashdown Forest and the village of Hartfield, home to A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie the Pooh. The hotel's proximity to these destinations makes it an ideal base for exploring the beauty of the English countryside. Overall, The Roebuck Hotel offers a perfect blend of culinary excellence, warm hospitality, and access to stunning natural scenery. Whether you're a local looking for a memorable dining experience or a traveler seeking adventure, The Roebuck Hotel is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable and fulfilling experience.

Lovely location and the staff and food were excellent. The outside Christmas decoration put a smile on our faces before we even walked through the door.
