Goffs Manor - Crawley

We booked a table for 25 people for our choir post Christmas meal. The food and service were excellent. All of our meals hot and very tasty. The staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient at all times. We all had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend to everyone. Compliments to the chef and staff from all of us.

We went there twice in 24h! It's a lovely setting suitable for bigger groups. The service was not as efficient as we would have liked but friendly. The food was excellent, some of the best fish chips ever.

We visited on Sunday 1st October. We booked a table for 2pm for 10 people, celebrating my dad’s 85th birthday. Service was slow especially the time it took the food to come out. Our roast beef was so tough and when you see photo of what we got served, you would question whether they have ‘chefs’ or staff that just heats up food. In this case the beef was so over done it looks like they left it under the heat lamp and let it frazzle. It was embarrassing as we had invited my dad friends for lunch and they commented how tough the roast beef was. My 10 year old child could have done a better presentation of the food. I didn’t bother complaining as we watched another customer complaining about the service and the ‘manager’ face said it all. She was the least interested person. I’ve always though the food at Goff’s was good, been going for last 20 years. When we visited on 7th August, it wasn’t so great, but we still came back thinking it was one off, but this time it was a triple A rating.. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Please don’t waste your money, go somewhere else.

We booked for early Sunday evening for a family members birthday. 6 adults, 2 children. The restaurant was quiet but it still took nearly 15 mins for someone to take our food and drinks order. The drinks then took another 15 mins to arrive. The starters arrived a short while later for those who ordered them and were fine. It took some time for the plates to be removed after we had finished and again, quite a wait for the mains to arrive. these were again, OK, although I was advised the chicken and ham hock pie was very good. 4 of us had roasts beef only option). The meat was somewhat chewy and most of the veggies were hot. The kids meal portions were very good and food hot and tasty. Again, it took ages for the plates to be removed and we had to call someone over to take dessert orders as no one came near. It took nearly 15 mins for 2 tubs of ice cream, 1 triple scoop of ice cream and one warm apple pie and ice cream to arrive. The warm apple pie wasn’t, although again, it was apparently very tasty. Not once, throughout the whole time, did anyone come to check that everything was ok. All in all, a very mediocre and rather disappointing evening.

A menu with limited options was made even more limited by a number of items not being available. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, however the service was very slow. It was clear the staff didn’t want to be there. It is a place that is ok for a drink only, but not for a meal.
