British Kitchen in Rother

Birthday treat ...the dining room was lovely, staff very attentive, but slightly disappointed with the food. Menu did not explain the dish. Duo of venison with roasted root vegetables etc. duo was 3 very small, thin slices of venison with a suet venison pudding ! A heavy pudding was really not what I expected. As for the roasted root vegetables.....lift up that small slice of venison and there they were ....a thimble full of tiny cubed root veg. If I hadn't ordered a side dish of broccoli I would not have been able to eat most of the dish....and did I mention the 1 blackberry! Sorry but feel the food slightly let the evening down.

A few improvements to take on board. Three vegetarians and one meat eater. Ordered two vegetarian nut roasts and it turned out to be boiled rice with nuts and berries. The roast potatoes and parsnips were lovely, the soup my husband had was lovely and the roast beef for our friend ordered was eaten without leaving a scrap. The homemade ice cream was filled with ice crystals and could not be eaten (which was a pity as it was very tasty). For thee meals, one soup and four desserts and four non alcoholic drinks the bill came to £120. The vegetarian roasts need work. I did ask the waiter if the roast vegetables had been cooked in oil and if the gravy was vegetarian and they had to return to the kitchen to ask. Not reassuring for a veggie... All in all it was good food in a quaint restaurant. The restaurant was empty on a Sunday lunch time which I did find strange. A proper veggie roast would have been nice though. A huge plus is that it is dog friendly.

Stumbled upon this cafe on the way to Rye. Staff very friendly and the food was good. Plenty of regulars. Lots of parking too. They also sell cards.

Great location in the beautiful village of Winchelsea - absolutely stunning! Good good - hot served quickly and friendly service

We have always ate at our local befeeter but now we have tried this one I will never eat at our local again. The chef is amazing food came out hot looked amazing and tasted the best I have tasted in a long time. This chef must love his job and I hope he is proud of what he achieved. We ordered a 3 course and couldn't manage it. We have to order a 3 course at our local as portions are so small. I still can't get over how amazing my meal was. And the place its self we have never been didn't even know it was there. It was just by chance that rainbow restaurant had no heating so we googled and found this place. We was worried would end up at the one near premiere inn, but this place is so lovely. Cosy, welcoming, we have said we will travel an hour just to go and have lunch again or even book a hotel to spend the evening here as such a nice place. Everything I wanted relaxed. Warm and such friendly staff. Waitress couldn't do enough for us. Wish I had room for desert.
