First beautiful Sunday of the year, restaurant is half full, still a lot of place on the beautiful terrace....but no food can be ordered, no soup, no chips nothing without a reservation. So disappointing 😞 As a reaction to the owners response: there were still tables left, so I was not fully booked...and a half hour later a table for 4 was possible, but an extra chair was not for a family of 5?? That's not being client friendly, just not well organised. Speaking as a private chef.

Very busy pub right at the start of the Seven Sisters. Friendly staff. Sadly food wasn't being served outside when we visited and inside was heaving. In the toilets, some of the cubicles didn't lock and only one hand dryer worked.

Visited around two weeks ago. No recommended. All was wrong. The service very slow. Ordered chicken parmigiana + starter, my friend as well, another two friends pizzas + starters. 1. Forgot to bring one of the drink - waiting very very long. 2. Instead of bring first starters waitress bring two starters and two main food, two of my friend still waiting for food. 3. The chicken parmigiana of my friend - bring to the table burn, couldn’t cut with knife or stick knife to the chicken it was like stone 4. main course forgot to bring for me- actually after when I said how long I need to wait for my food - I got reply - we bring everything to this table I had to show receipt, after that I received my main food - terrible - without bacon and tomato souse - in their menu it’s with bacon and souse, again exchange, they change as well food for my friend - the burn chicken. My friend ordered brownie later on as well - again forgot to bring - very bad experience There was no extremely busy, so I don’t understand. Only good thinks is we got refund for 2x chicken parmigiana and brownie. Service very slow and no professional but nice. Only tasty for me grilled halloumi.

The food itself was good, however the service a bit slow and they took time to bring the right main courses. Also, I have had to wait to pay for a while as the waiter at the moment could not deal with my request.

At £17.25, the fish and chips should have been great, but they weren't. A pint of Harveys and a glass of cranberry juice came to £8.10. At that price both of the glasses should have been clean, but only one if them was. Lacklustre.

Just had a lunch, a ´greens and grain salad’ which had about 2 spoons of giant couscous and no other grain, didn’t see any of the pomegranate, lentils, peppers or butternut squash stated on menu in it. The salad was dry and completely undressed! Pathetic and priced at £14.95! The additional halloumi cheese was overdone. I had to ask for salad dressing which was basically a pineapple juice reduction, too sweet, so had to ask for olive oil too. When I let the very helpful young waiter know I did not feel it was substantial enough for a main salad he returned with a dish of something that didn’t seem to be part of the dish I’d actually ordered (it was the same as the side dish my daughter’s meal was served with), although it did improve the meal. I thought it poor that nobody more senior came out given I was obviously a dissatisfied customer asking for extra food to supplement an inadequate meal! Also took rather a long time to arrive. We needed to get to the next stage of our fun day out, and I also hadn’t realised the extent of missing ingredients before we left, otherwise would have made more of a fuss and asked for manager. Very disappointing and wish I’d had a homemade sandwich on the beach. The other three meals in my party were better.

If you passing by, by all means stop here for a drink or two, amazing views and good drink selection. Don’t bother eating here, the food is poor and service is awfully slow. The Plow and Harrow is just down the road and their food is amazing. Vintage inns has a number of pubs around Sussex some of which have amazing views and scenery but vintage inns seem to be unable to serve good food, shocking really considering the stunning locations of their venues. Stopped by at the cuckmere inn for a quick lunch with my gran and aunty, the service was dreadfully slow, Soup was cold, the pizza average, we had to ask the staff to clear out tables, then we had to ask the staff again for our dessert to come, the dessert took another 30 mins to come. The sticky toffee pudding was cold and the custard had a thick skin. I will say the staff were friendly and they did offer a refund for the dessert but we just left because we were worried that the refund would take ages. Will not be coming back for food.

This is a nice place in a lovely area on the river. There is a free car park which just needs your reg on a tablet on the bar. I'm sure it's different other times but can only speak for what I saw.... The glasses were filthy, had to take it back to be changed. We only ordered a few sides as snacks, the Belgian fries came as thick cut chips that was still hard in the middle, the onion rings were burnt to a crisp and the garlic ciabatta was just stodgy. Was offered another round of drinks but as driving we declined and left. This is not anything bad on the young lads on duty, they didn't really know what to do and did their best. I had a bad feeling when the food came out after less than 5 minutes and it wasn't busy at the time.

We had the roast pork and the steak pie, the pastry was rock hard and although the filling was tasty the meat was grisly and not much of it.The roast dinner was better lovely presentation but parsnips were hard and crackling twill was impossible to bite into. Service was good and very friendly 👍 parsnips were replaced. but there was a 20 minute wait for pud. Great place for a drink and with stunning views.

Food was great, we all enjoyed it. The only one thing that lacks is the waiting time between orders. We waited for quite awhile for the mains and dessert did not come until 30 mins of being ordered. There were 3 tables occupied with 2-3 guests each table so they are not totally busy.

Unfortunately, our recent experience at the Cuckmere Inn was incredibly poor. We chose this restaurant specifically because we have a young child and wanted to enjoy a reasonably early dinner. To our surprise, even though we arrived before 6 pm, service was incredibly disorganized – after 20-minute wait, our desserts arrived before our starters and main course! After sending the desserts back, we faced another 40-minute wait for food that one of them arrived barely warm. When we'd finally finished eating, we were subjected to another 20-minute wait for dessert. They only brought our child's dessert, and even after they finished, our second dessert was nowhere to be found. By this point, it was getting very late for our child, so we had to ask for a refund and leave without receiving the dessert we had ordered. Overall, the disorganized service and long delays made this a less-than-ideal environment for a young child.

Stopped for evening dinner on way back home. Wasn't extremely busy (lots of booking slots available) with most people already served. It was clear that the waiting staff were coming towards the end of their shift (2000). Took us 2 hours to have a 2 course Sunday meal. Food was nice albeit several dishes were unavailable (understandable as it was a Sunday evening). Could have been slightly warmer but the meat was nice and tender. Hate to think how long it would be on a very busy day.

The food was nice and fresh and very tasty. Only negative, and this is a personal taste so others may not find it a negative.

I ate here after walking down to Seven Sisters about midday in late summer, the halloumi fries were the best I’ve ever tasted before and the chilli jam which came with them was unbelievable. I had a Meze plater and lamb kebabs to go along side the halloumi which a was very light and refreshing dish, overall this restaurant really ticked the boxes, set in a stunning part of the country which was reasonably priced also.

I went here on both Wednesday and Thursday this week as I was walking some of the lovely coast and it was my ending point both days from a different direction.So I only had drinks. I really liked the place and it seemed very popular.Dogs are allowed in certain areas so that was good, the staff all seemed ok and were very helpful to folks. It is in a nice position and the coast is splendid, particularly the section from Cuckmere to Eastbourne.

Ate there after a walk with my father. service seemed pretty reasonable but food a let down. We ordered a burger and steak ciabatta and chips. Both burger bun and ciabatta pretty ropey and very dry. The chips had clearly been made a while earlier as only mildly warm and the medium rare steak slices were over done and quite sinewy.Would have sent them back but my dad has Dementia and was starting to wobble.Pity as the location is great and it’s simple stuff to get right. Maybe a bad day and we just got the end of a bread run.

Kale and couscous salad was missing: couscous, dressing, broccoli and pomegranate seeds.Cesar was missing lardons and had soggy lettuce.Feels like this place is selling a high end menu but serving brake brothers food - miss-selling at its finest! We raised one dish with them and they added two of the missing ingredients, but the rest was out of stock. We were offered a free drink but we had already had our fill and weren’t on the booze so accepted an orange and lemon. Really we just wanted the dishes we had ordered and a lot less hassle.

Staffing levels poor 1 experienced member of staff with 2 trainees running the service which could be due to unforeseen circumstances We were waiting far too long for all courses which could be forgiven due to staffing levels . One of our party had a long dark hair in their meal and as only one of us has long hair and its blonde it shows the standard of hygiene wasn't acceptable . They didn't want to complain but the Cuckmere needs staffing levels and hygiene standards to improve or they will lose a lot more customers . We were very disappointed and will never eat there again when we visit.

Free car parking and ok to leave car and go for a walk after. Great for walkers. Staying in a local B&B so went back for a light meal later early evening so very quiet.
