The Rainbow Inn

Archetypal English country pub with ivy clinging to its flint facade & wooden bench seating in a neat front garden not too far from East Grinstead. No smoke-filled, timbered tavern, this – colours are light & bright, while a white cast-iron fireplace is adorned with flowers. Thin bookshelves & stripy furnishings even add a bohemian touch. The Rainbow lives up to its name with an appropriately pastoral menu: grilled stuffed mushrooms with brie & wild rocket to start, followed by simple but effective dill fishcakes with buttered courgettes & chive cream. Explore the interesting fine wine list over an aperitif in the pretty garden.
