The Cat Inn is a 16th century free house set in the picturesque village of West Hoathly, a hilltop village set in the heart of the Sussex countryside. It is in within easy distance from the towns of East Grinstead and Haywards Heath and only 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport. The Pub with its oak beams and two inglenook fireplaces proffers a warm and cosy atmosphere in the winter, whilst our terrace is perfect to enjoy a drink and food in the summer months. Being a free house we pride ourselves in the quality of our real ale, and concentrate on local breweries, such as Harvey's of Lewes and other micro breweries. Our food is cooked to order, using fresh, seasonal and where possible locally sourced ingredients. Our menus change on a regular basis and we also offer a small selection of seasonal specials on a daily basis. We welcome children over the age of 7. Dogs are welcome in the "pub" area of the Cat, they are not permitted in the dining room

    This is a treasure and exudes good taste. An instantly warm welcome from interested, intelligent and engaging staff. Good to meet Andrew who’s running it with grace and professionalism, honed from years of experience in Michelin starred places. The conservatory dining area is an elegant, nicely illuminated, well laid out and acoustically friendly area, ideal for conversation and thank goodness, with no mindless music, just the gentle hubbub of gastronomic appreciation. We had lunch with our octogenarian relative. I chose the vegan, butternut squash terrine….an exquisitely delicious triumph, the best I’ve ever eaten and a work of art! My husband’s burger, sumptuous beef, excellently seasoned, in a delightful brioche bun with beautiful chips. My mother in law chose gammon, perfectly tender and a ‘just right’ portion. Afterwards, very good coffee as our digestive. Later, we walked through to the older part of the pub and found a wonderful fireplace and cosy, seating areas that we’ll look forward to trying next time. This really is the nicest pub/restaurant and a discerning gourmet’s choice. We loved it and will be back.

    What a lovely evening. The atmosphere last night was brilliant. The staff worked very hard all evening serving both meals and drinks very efficiently. The quizmaster was excellent and made the whole evening such fun.

    4 words …. King Croissant Club Sarnies. The BEST invention I’ve ever seen on a menu !! Absolutely delicious, literally so scrumptiously good. I had the Royale with Cheese, this bad boy was the cure to all my hangovers and sad days, I will forever be thinking about it. The sausage patty was so juicy and flavourful, the hash brown inside was out the gate. And then throw it all together inside a croissant bun, you just can’t go wrong. It was AMAZING My friend had the Chicken Royale and she said it was just as delicious (maybe even more? But I don’t believe her because mine couldn’t be bet) …. Will be back to give it a go!! Also guys, just the general vibe of The Apollo Arms is gorgeous, such a fun and chilled out place but also very classy - the perfect gastropub 🙌 A big thank you to Freddie who poured some marvellous drinks and was always happy to help (best service we’ve had in London)! And our waitress Estella who made us feel so welcome and looked after 🤍 The Apollo Arms = 10/10 King Croissant Club Sarnies = get these on your to do list ASAP

    Great food, friendly and professional service, and a lovely, relaxed feel. We sat outside in the spring sunshine, soaking up the peace and quiet of the Common. Both diners had the burgers which were substantial and delicious, especially with the chunky hand-carved chips. For pudding, we had the creme brule and the apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla custard - both were presented beautifully and in exactly the right proportions - not too big nor too small. We were both driving, so unable to take advantage of the tempting wines.
