We had a delicious meal on Fruday 7th January for a group of 5. Everyone had a starter , main and side dish. The portions are generous and I took some home . The chicken screwers are delicious and one of my personal favourites . The mussel starter , potato bravas, calamari were all commented on as being quite special. The risotto and burger were also commented on to.be delicious. Great friendly service with a relaxed atmosphere. Finished the meal with some cocktails and liquor coffee's which were yummy . Very good value too. Thank you to all.

Saturday evening meal with my adult sons. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. Thanks again.

Lovely food and great service from all of the staff and was great to hear about future plans for the business and coming cocktail bar, can't wait will definitely be a final touch to the village.

As always, lovely food & service.

First visit but not the last, great food atmosphere and service x

Lovely food very reasonable prices , willing and helpful staff Hope they can succeed. The only down side was we were a little cold and found the booths a little cramped.

Sadly again not the best night at The Carriage. Food lovely, no complaints there at all, for what we did manage to order and eat. But once again the service was dreadful. Initially attentive but after main meal check, we did not see another member of staff… note we were INSIDE, and other than one other large table we were the only people in there so certainly not over busy!!! Had to go to the bar to order desserts only to be told the kitchen had closed and only a brownie was available. At no point had we been prewarned the kitchen would close….this was just after 8.30pm! The staff were apologetic but by that time it was way too late, and we were past being impressed. Such a shame as not the first time, but sadly the staff need more training, less chat to each other, and to understand the hospitality environment and what is required from them when working in a restaurant. I won’t be returning again even though on doorstep!

We are so lucky to have The Carriage so close to home. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing!

Great food and nice atmosphere. Food took a long while to arrive but they were honest about it and made up for it by offering us a free round of drinks…great service with down to earth, chatty staff. Nice cocktails, recommend the Long Island Iced Tea! Great to have somewhere like this in the village. Well worth stopping by for lunch or dinner.

Great food, excellent value for money, brilliant service by the waiting team and kitchen staff

Service was slow and so was the food however, the staff where really pleasant and did care about the customers that’s for sure. Didn’t appreciate the chef shouting across to some random girls who where shouting and blocking the toilets, just because he knew them. The bar staff really tried which was appreciated but the kitchen was the problem. Constantly shouting at the young staff and talking to locals from the other side of the room. Over done steak. But lovely cocktails and a really nice inside. Glad they are there it’s nice to have something in Crawley down. Does need someone with experience to run. But overall the owner and bar staff where the only reason customers enjoyed it.

Very enjoyable evening…good food at a reasonable price…

We had a birthday dinner here, food was great, service was outstanding, atmosphere was lovely, I had bought a cake for my nephews birthday, waitress took it for me, after our amazing dinner , I didn’t have to ask they brought the cake out and played music to sing happy birthday. It was a lovely relaxing evening, and can not wait to go back.

Lovely food, but I am sad to say that the service is very slow. It was not full during our visit but it took 2.5 hours to be served main and dessert for a table of 4. I had to ask 3 times for water and we had to ask for pudding menu and then to order pudding and pay etc. Could be much a much slicker service. I must say all staff were friendly though.

Had a lovely meal here for our date night. It was relatively quiet as it was a Tues so nice and peaceful, just enough chatter around us to create an atmosphere. Service was very good with welcoming staff. The menu is not extensive but the quality of the food was excellent. I had the Chicken skewers with rice, which were cooked perfectly, very tasty and presented nicely. We will definitely be returning (especially as we live very close!!)

A really lovely meal but wanted to draw attention to Frankee - so helpful and friendly and great at her job.
