| Had been meaning to visit this pub for some while following good reviews from friends. Telephoned before visiting to check what food was available for vegetarians, I was told that there was a good selection and the lady listed 5 different dishes and said that there were more, this pleased me as often there is only one choice - if that. Upon arrival the menu only had 1 vegetarian dish so we asked whether anything else was available only to be told that the vegetarian starter could be made into a main dish if required :( We decided to stay and have the dish listed as we were fairly short of time and it sounded nice (goats cheese and walnut salad served with warm bread) Ordered drinks including a glass of dry white wine. The wine was not very well chilled and was rather sweet but we didn't wish to make a fuss so drank it anyway. The food took rather a long time to arrive but the pub was busy so we waited patiently. A lady at another table had the salad and it looked delicious. Eventually our food arrived but the bread was not with the salad so we enquired about it and was told that it would be sorted and would come straight out. 5 minutes later the bread had still not arrived so we enquired again and was told that it was on its way. 5 more minutes passed and we enquired yet again. 5 minutes later the bread finally arrived by which time the grilled goats cheese was cold and my companions had both finished their meals including cold chips) and I was left eating alone. I was very disappointed in the meal as the walnuts tasted old and fousty but as we were quite time limited and after the length of time to simply bring out the bread I pushed the walnuts aside and ate the salad and cold goats cheese. When the waiter collected our plates he asked whether the meal was ok so we told him of our disappointment and he went to fetch the manager - James. Well, what a rude, obnoxious man he turned out to be. He seemed surprised that I had waited for the bread to arrive before eating the salad, implying it was my fault that the cheese had gone cold and tried to tell us that the bread had arrived after 2 minutes and that we should have mentioned to staff if we were dissatisfied (which we had done twice). He eventually reluctantly refunded the value of the salad but continued to defend the meal and service. I would not recommend this pub to anyone and will certainly not be returning myself.[Report for Removal] | anonymous hawards heath west sussex |

| The first reports on the Sloop are VERY misleading. I nearly didn't go. New people running it - Food great & beer 1st class as well.[Report for Removal] | Roger More East Hoathly East Sussex |

| I recently visited the Sloop at as a stopping point on a walk. We got there at lunch time on a sunday and fancied a light bite to eat. Only to find that they were NOT offering any lunchtime additions to the usual mains and not only that but there were no starters available. The menu was also severely lacking in vegetarian options and the chips that we ended up having were heavily overpriced at £3.50 for a bowl of cheap tasting chips! It has really taken a nose dive and is not even close to the gastro pub it was in years gone by. [Report for Removal] | anonymous Haywards Heath West Sussex |

| My husband & I had lunch at the Sloop Inn today and despite enjoying sunshine in a wonderful garden behind the pub it has got to be the worst lunch we have had since moving to Sussex from North London three years ago!We eat out a lot and could not believe that people charge for such tastless, greasy and unimaginative food.The owner should do himself a big favour and sack his 'chef'.The Cat Inn could give a few lessons on ensuring that customers come back again & again.[Report for Removal] | Mrs Allen Lindfield West Sussex |

| Recently taken over by a 'local resident' to ensure the continuity of this fine pub located on the Ouse. The Pub tries hard to keep true to 'traditional' roots with both Lounge (all carpet & beams) and Public (all 'locals' & wooden floor) as well as an extensive Garden to try and keep everyone happy. Try the Sloop, you may like it as much at the local, after all 'he bought the company' !! [Report for Removal] | Roger Payne Scaynes Hill Sussex |
