Description: Housed in a 16th Century building in the historic town of Horsham, Restaurant Tristan opened in 2008 and has been a firm favourite with local foodies ever since. Inside, original wooden beams contrast with contemporary style to create an intimate setting for lunch or dinner. Chef and Proprietor Tristan Mason worked in top restaurants like The Greenhouse and Mirabelle before becoming Head Chef at The Hare where he achieved his first Michelin Star. The menu at Restaurant Tristan is predominantly British with some creative French influences, with dishes like terrine of pheasant and turbot with truffle risotto taking centre stage. Ingredients are locally sourced wherever possible and the extensive wine list is designed to complete this truly unforgettable dining experience.

This was a real find and the food was absolutely out of this world. Very impressed. The service was impeccable and the evening was only spoiled by a noisy obnoxious table of diners next to us but that is hardly the restaurant's fault. It is quite an intimate setting aka tiny restaurant so you are aware. We will definitely be... More

We went to Tristan's Restaurant on the 8th May for a Birthday Celebration and it was a wonderful experience. The meal was superb with unusual food combinations and a fantastic variety of complimentary flavours. The scallops starter was one of the best, if not the best I have ever had. All of the food was outstanding! We ate off the... More

Recently we dined at Restaurant Tristan for the second time - on this occasion for lunch on Saturday 4th May. The careful attention to every detail from the gleaming cutlery and pristine serviettes is very noticeable and much appreciated. We chose from the Select Menu and we both agreed, that again this was the ultimate dining experience as every course... More

My other half and I have been to Restaurant Tristan for her birthday for the last three years and our anniversary for the last two and every time we go the food is nothing short of exceptional. There are some bold flavour combinations that produce wonderful results and the I very much look forward to eating a Tristan's. However, the... More

Tristans does not disappoint. Attentive, knowledgable staff. Great wines with 5 course tasting menu. Great flavours in an unhurried atmosphere.

I took my husband to Tristan's last night to celebrate his birthday. We won't be waiting for just special occasions before we go again. Our taste buds had a fabulous experience throughout the meal: the squid starter - wow! The guys doing the service deserve a special mention too - obviously well trained but with a human touch and humour.... More

My wife and I took her mother on her birthday today. She had never been to a Michelin starred restaurant before and was excited. We hoped it was to be a special day. We left 2 1/2 hours later having had a brilliant time, the mum in law raving about her meal, talking about the way there had been some... More
