Amirante Empire Ltd in Wealden

Such a charming little place. The staff seem to know everyone by name so obviously a regular clientele. Such a shame it will close on 21st. I’m sure it will be missed as seems like a real community hub

Lovely breakfast, perfect spot over the village green. Delish coffee and nice array of deli snacks and pastries to take away on your walk! Will definitely go back for wine and ice cream 😍

My first visit to Link today and I enjoyed it. A good choice of main meals. Very reasonably priced. Friendly service. The portions were ample and the food was hot. I had the chicken and veg pie. Will eat here again when I next visit Hailsham.

The food and service here is excellent with well cooked and inventive dishes served by attentive staff. The face lifted surroundings are also good but lack atmosphere and would benefit from wall hangings or drapes in the evening.

It was a nice day and warm enough to sit outside, so we decided to go here as we had our dog with us and there a couple of tables and chairs outside. Some people were already sitting outside eating. There are lots of things inside the deli to buy and a big blackboard on the back wall with an enormous list of things to have made up for you to either eat there or takeaway. It's very popular as many people were coming here whilst we waited and ate. There were two ladies working behind the counter and the food all looked very nicely displayed and tasty. My husband had a black pudding scotch egg and a big piece of bread and butter pudding, he said both were excellent. I decided to have one of the salad boxes. There was a wonderful choice of salads and I thought it fantastic that every single item was checked with me first to make sure I was happy to have it included. One of the items was some large crispy bread, cut up into big pieces that were soaked in a delicious mixture - I wasn't sure about having this and the lady gave me a piece to try first, it was really good, so I had that as well. I decided to have some ham with it and that was superb quality. The whole salad was so good and so tasty, my photo doesn't do it justice, I was half way through eating it when I suddenly remembered to take a photo - it was such a good portion for the price of £3.50, excellent value for money and completely filled me up. Hubby had eaten his scotch egg, so no photo of that either! I would highly recommend coming here for a sandwich, pannini, scotch egg, pies, salad - well everything, it's all good :)
