Welcome to The Warren Restaurant, an extension of The Crowborough Estate, holding stock of Sussex Cattle, Boer Goats, Fallow deer, and Wild boar amongst others which the restaurant draws on for its menu. We are a Dog Friendly restaurant. Given the provenance, the kitchen predominantly cooks British food, occasionally dipping into other cuisines to provide a vehicle for flavours – nettle gnocchi for example, or poached oyster with wild boar chorizo.WE wanted a unique fun and informal restaurant, to offer their Crowborough Estate’s produce from. When the site of the renowned Signor Franco’s became available, with those iconic arched windows of its orangery and glorious terrace overlooking the Spa town, the stage was set.Please email us contact@thewarren.restaurant (our call line & online booking system will reopen from 1st August)Your SincerelyMagdalena & Martin

Had a really good lunch at the Abergaveny Arms. If I had a complaint, it would be that the portions were too large. I would also say that the number of verification codes I had to get and enter to make this review almost made me give up.

A very pretty country pub, with large garden overlooking a stream. We came for Sunday lunch on a hot summers day as a big group with children and a dog and it was glorious. Lovely seating under a weeping willow, friendly staff and good food. Plenty of space between the tables and a lovely tranquil setting.

The service was very attentive and we had a lovely evening. I found the food very salty particularly my samosa with the chicken dish. Food very highly priced.
