Best restaurant in east grinstead!!
(Please delete if not allowed) Me and my other half went out for dinner at By the Fountain and I want to give where credit is due I know a few months back on Facebook there was a post made in regards to the owener (I won’t go into detail) however we have always wanted to try the restaurant as they always seem to have very good deals on and reviews are always good and never see any negative ones; for example Sundays; 2 courses for £25 each & do seafood!
We were not disappointed, we had been greeted and brought to our seat, offered water and given plenty of time to look through the menu, we had; seafood plater to start, Main dishes; fish of the day & hake with cream sauce.
The food 10/10 and service is 10/10, very relaxed atmosphere, didn’t feel rushed at all also felt like we could ask the owener anything regarding the restaurant or meal, we will definitely be returning! Cocktails are also very nicely made no unnecessary ice or sour.
Six of us booked for a birthday lunch on Saturday at this restaurant. First thing I noticed was how spotlessly clean and spacious it was. It has an elegant feel. Not sure if the gentleman who served us was the owner or the Manager, but he was great, talking us through the menu, offering advice and food background and quietly attentive. The other staff were efficient and pleasant. We were supplied with water and a basket of fresh bread immediately. The food was excellent and imaginative in choice. . My starter, crayfish with avocado, arrived as a neat moulded tower, positively crammed with crayfish. All our starters and mains were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. We had an excellent experience overall and would not hesitate to return.
What a gem of a place. So refreshing to find such a well run independent restaurant. The food was superb, all bought fresh from Billingsgate market that morning. Oysters and scallops as good as I've had anywhere and a superb, very generously portioned fillet steak from a local butcher. Topped off with fantastic service and very fair pricing, this is a place I would wholeheartedly recommend, and will certainly be coming back to.
