You may have heard that The Buxted Inn is under new management. They have a brand new menu which I'm dying to try but this weekend we went along to sample their Sunday Roast to see if we still love it there!
I'm happy to say we did, we had a lovely afternoon eating together (back as a family of four again) followed by a walk in Buxted Park hunting for acorns and conkers for Show and Tell at pre-school.
The roasts are as good quality as ever with delicious meat and generous portions. Nik and I opted for the beef and the twins shared a children's roast pork.
The beef was served medium and was so tender and juicy. The potatoes were lovely too, properly crispy without being tough or dry. The Yorkshires were huge and crispy on top with yummy soft bottoms and there was plenty of gravy although I'm not convinced it was homemade but I could be wrong. We were served veg on the side which consisted of green beans, chantarelle carrots and cauliflower cheese - yum! We only had one bit of cauliflower each so I nearly ordered more as a side but we planned to have pudding anyway so I resisted.
Pudding was a bit disappointing for me, I ordered the cheesecake but it had a very strange texture, almost like Semolina and tasted similar too and the base was soggy. The roasted apricots that came with it were nice but I definitely wish I ordered something else instead or had a starter. Nik's was a bit odd too but his was tasty. A dark chocolate concoction with a strange sticky, chewy coating and a lovely puddle of toasted marshmallow next to it. He enjoyed his and the twins loved their Downs View Farm ice-cream as always.
The bill was very reasonable, I think it came to £53 for two main roasts, one kids' roast, a glass of Malbec, a ginger ale, two milks, two ice-cream scoops, two desserts and a latte.
Service was friendly and efficient as always, they found us some dominoes to keep the kids entertained while waiting for pudding (which did take a long time) as the usual games and toys they used to have in the bar area are gone.
Overall we had a lovely meal, I just chose poorly for dessert. I think we'll be back to try the usual menu soon and we noticed they do a lunchtime deal Mon-Sat for a tenner which is great value.
