Sylvan Oak, Findon, West Sussex

We booked a pre Christmas evening meal for four,and what a fabulous culinary experience we encountered. As two of our party are vegetarians, we were a little apprehensive as we had not seen the menu prior to booking.However our concerns were rightfully put aside!Whilst perusing the menu we enjoyed a local sparkling wine from the wiston estate just outside of Steyning)crisp cold and dry, a worthy champagne beater!

We have eaten at the Sylvan Oak a couple of times previously, notably last August when we had a very good meal, we could not fault the meal on this occasion top notch.

Our meal here was lovely. We were made very welcome and had a nice table by the window. The wine list was good and reasonably priced. The menu has a range of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. I had trouble selecting a starter as there were several that sounded delicious. In the end I chose the belly of pork and it was great. My friends all enjoyed their choices too. I chose lamb for my main course and again it was lovely. Two of our group had the halibut and also commented how nice it was. A small dessert range but again beautifully served.I would definitely go back to this restaurant.

We are so disappointed that we don't live closer to Findon because we would love this to be a regular treat. It was definitely one of the best three meals I have ever had and the staff are so lovely and service was spot-on.

Really great service food. Shame that we were overcharged for 3 courses when we both only had two,
