De La Warr Pavilion in Rother

We had to queue for twenty five minutes to get two luke warm cappuccinos and four dry sausage rolls. The counter service was strange if not abrupt. We sat at a table with a dirty cup. Unbelievable that so many people are happy to receive such slow service for very average catering. Service should be streamlined and comply with the catering company's motto of 'modern since 1935'

We came to see Lucinda light She was amazing Warm lovley lady and very funny We had a great evening Lots of fun Great audience

The system here is fatally flawed with the set up. why do they have so many staff doing the same job behind the counter, why are the cakes/pastries separate from the queue/view? Why does it take so long to be served? The food is average but as it is a convenient location people become drawn in, even though we know it could be sooooo much better! Take a look at Blackbrooks Garden Centre just a couple of miles away,where the food is excellent the service is great and free parking !!! Make some money for the de la Warr, management!!!

Second time eaten here before a gig. On each occasion waiter came to apologise for delay in service - food eventually arrived after 45 minutes - this is pre gig dining so needs to be quicker. Wine in cans with plastic glasses is not good. On our first visit had fish and chips which was ok. Second time had the burgers which had over toasted buns, no bacon with it as described on menu, very little cheese and pretty dry burger. Couldn’t find any sauces to disguise taste. Lacked the time to ask or complain. It was very over priced. Best bit was the view out of the window. Really needs improvement.

Shop is rip off. Autistic adult daughter brought 5 small child items all priced £6 and under. Nothing over £10. I cheek prices before letting her by what she wanted. As teaching her independence and money value. I appreciate the shop prices are tourist in mind even though we was shocked to find the cashier charged her £40. Did he take advantage of her learning difficulties or did he take advantage off tourist traps. No receipt was given very disgusting and disappointed.

Even with the Food Festival taking place on the lawn, I avidly ventured upstairs to the Restaurant, enjoying their delicious Fish&Chips with Picture Window views of the Sea !

Good vegetarian lunch and coffee - chick pea and sweet potato flatbread with feta. Beautifully presented and service with a smile.

Small side plate of chips £5. Standard sandwiches all £10. Despite a polite reminder, our simple order took over 30 minutes to appear and they got our coffee order wrong too. All very disappointing. As locals, we are embarrassed that the De La Warr feels it’s acceptable to rip visitors off like this. Then again I suppose someone has to pay for some of the staff to hang around chatting while one or two others are working their nuts off.

We use the de la warr regularly for coffee ,glass of wine ,and shows last night we decided to try the pre gig supper .Limited menu food ok nothing special, ordered a bottle of wine told as it was a gig night only wine in tins and to make matters worse only served in a plastic glass ,now I understand that for the performance but in the restaurant why

A HUGE thank you for a warm welcome, for your wonderful staff making some adjustments to seat my elderly Aunt quickly and for some really scrumptious light and creamy bakes. Very impressive and all with a sea view !

Expensive coffee, not hot. Awful service, unbelievably slow, unbeaten in Bexhill 🤨 5 staff behind the counter..............one to take the order, one to make coffee, one to put milk in, one to put coffee on tray and one doing nothing. All falling over each other and chatting hence a 15 minute wait to get coffee in a queue of 6 🤬 It might have a lovely view but do yourself a favour................get your self a coffee elsewhere and just sit in there if you want the view!

OMG..the roasties(cooked in duck fat)are unworldly and part of the £11 lunch with pulled meat and ..... Stuart and the rest of the staff are great...all personalities in their own right The only thing I wasn't convinced about was rhe art installation requiring you to lie in a hammock..really????????? So much better value than gift shop. Well done the restaurant team

Lovely views of the sea and great coffee. Wish cakes and biscuits were covered up , good to see separate tongs for gluten free items. Gluten free spiced cookie was delicious. You can sit inside or out on the balcony. Lift available as cafe is on first floor. Lunch starts at 12 noon. Enjoyable.

The Restaurant has a fabulous view out to sea on the first floor, its such a shame it doesn't live up to the location. Our coffees were fine but the accompanying lemon drizzle cake was dry and missing the drizzle. My wife had a cheese and onion sandwich on what can only be described as a boring bread doorstop. For £9!!! it was very poor value for money, she left most of it for the seagulls. The menu is very limited, just a few burgers, sandwiches, cakes and drinks and expensive. Apart from the location there is nothing of note about this restaurant.

Still the slowest coffee servers in the world - 6 people behind the bar and the time it takes between the chatting and making the wrong coffee is unbelievable - the view is the only thing which saves this place - expensive, too

I enjoy a hot chocolate and slice of cake here often. I have yet to try any food other than cake. The staff are always helpful. With my membership giving me a discount, it’s a very nice treat. I look forward to trying a meal here soon.

I stopped here for lunch with my husband and chose the vegetarian nachos option from the specials board. The plate arrived looking appetising and was tastefully stacked. Absolutely delicious. The combination of ingredients of deep fried nachos, spiced butternut and black bean chilli, cool coconut yoghurt and fresh avocado was inspired. It was on the specials list but I really hope they make it a regular menu choice.

Went to see KWS band - seats on balcony give no leg room - very uncomfortable and ruined the show for me. I am only 5ft 2in. How do they expect anyone much taller than me to be comfortable? So disappointed as had made a long journey and will never go there again.

A lovely lunch on a Spring day, enjoying the view of the Sea. Service with a smile, it was a wonderful experience overall !

We did the tour which was inexpensive, very informative and interactive. We would recommend to anyone of all ages as it explains the background to the building and its history. The pace was very good and allowed people to ask questions etc. Great value for money.

Had a wonderful time here with my friend. Our drinks were prepared really quickly. Staff were friendly and served quickly. Easy to find a clean table to sit at. Definitely going back soon.

We visited last weekend and were happy with our food, but being a coeliac I would have appreciated more allergen information- the only information provided on the menu was whether the food was vegan or not. Also as a general point- if chefs need to alter a dish because they have not catered for an allergy, it would be more generous to substitute an ingredient instead of simply removing an allergen.

Our second visit and just as good as our first. Thank you, Bexhill council for free parking after 19:00 minute details make for Happy visitors. Friendly and efficient security and bar staff made the early evening relaxed and fun. And the highlight for me was the large bar queue managed so efficiently with the real ale served via a token scheme that worked a treat. Well done the DLWP. The Horne Section were everything we expected. Very enjoyable evening.

I came here for a coffee with my husband when we were viewing a flat. It was almost empty. I explained that we only had 15 minutes before our appointment, and was told someone would be with us right away. Five minutes later were still waiting. We went back in and said, 'can we order the coffee here?' and again, 'she'll be with you in a minute.' Finally a waitress came over, we gave our order, we waited another five minutes (how long does it take to make two coffees when your place is empty?) and in the end, had to take them with us. My coffee was SO small and I had to pay 50p for soya milk - it's not 1990, vegan milk shouldn't have to cost extra. I then came back with a friend for lunch, had the arancini balls and they were lovely - again, however, no nice welcome from the staff that you'd expect in a place like that. I felt like we were an inconvenience. If this place wants to compete with Brighton venues it needs to up its game at the bar and in the restaurant, big time.

Enjoyed a delicious latte on the balcony here. Prices were reasonable. Service was quick. View over the sea was wonderful.

We visited the café so that we could have a drink on the balcony overlooking the seafront. Lovely view and reasonable prices, service was hit and miss.

Popped in for a coffee and cake, lovely views on a blustery day Coffee served in a glass with no handle. Not ideal when hot. Please provide a cup or mug! Tables were clean, however the floor around and under each table was covered n food, not crumbs but larger pieces. Not what you expect and looked a mess. If this is the state of the eating area one can only hope the prep areas are cleaned regularly.

To many the focal point of Bexhill. Historic building which offers a good range of acts, art and food. Pre-dinner eats are good although menu limited. Worth visiting especially to pick-up a show - the venue is a little tired but deserves support. If not...

Lovely drinking good coffee overlooking the sea on the balcony. Nice selection of pasties and cakes, plus other meals. Service is very polite but a little slow, but the end products are good. Nice to look around the exhibition and shop. It’s wheelchair friendly.

First off the small art gallery (and if you like art deco) the building is worth a visit, thats what the 1 rating is for. The cafe/bar was probably the worst cafe we have visited, and yet with large windows looking out onto the channel and seating on the balcony its a prime location for those who fancy a stop whilst walking along the seafront. Tables were dirty, staff looked like they would prefer to be elsewhere and a truck stop cafe have a better selection of cakes (what they did have were on a high table between a row of chairs and those queuing, so difficult for the less abled to reach) we didn’t bother ordering in the end as staff seemed to be choosing who they served and we were waiting ages. Think there was more of an atmosphere in the Lighthouse Lounge derelict cafe in the Goonies than here.

We go to the De La Warr about three times a year to see exhibitions and to have lunch outside on the terrace, weather permitting.I wrote a very favourable review about two years ago, the food at the time was adventurous and tasty with not a big choice but nonetheless a choice of what one could describe as a meal.Unfortunately in more recent times the choice is much reduced. The only hot meals offered are fish and chips and hamburger and chips. Sandwiches, pitta wraps and pizzas are on offer with various different cold platters, the dish of the day on the “specials board” was a bowl of soup, which I think is a pretty miserable effort.The fish and chips was good, the high point being the homemade sauce tartare, and the low point the rubbery little block of mushy peas that had gone through some mysterious process.I have eaten fish and chips three times on my last three visits due to the lack of choice.The website shows a good variety of mains for eleven pounds fifty on the GIG menu before evening events.Why is there such a limited lunch menu and why is fish and chips fourteen pounds?

Took elderly parent in a wheelchair and other adults here for fish and chips on Sunday. The building is lovely and easily accessible. I have visited before and this time we took a table by the window to enjoy the view over the lawn and gardens to the sea. We have been into the restaurant for sandwiches or coffee a few times over the past 4 years and mostly been just a bit disappointed. This visit was no exception, which is a shame, this building needs a great restaurant. First of all I must say the staff we met on Sunday were friendly and helpful, nothing at all against them. It's just a shame the food and ambiance weren't really up to scratch. The restaurant feels a bit run down and there was a music outlet set up in a corner with a few things on sale and a poor quality sound system playing. It no doubt has to be there somewhere, I've no objection to attempts to diversify the De la Warr's appeal, in fact it's very necessary, but this seemed out of keeping with the restaurant.As for the food... Locally caught fish and chips should be a safe bet in this seaside location, with the Hastings fishing fleet based only 5 miles away, but it was rather underwhelming. The batter was crisp while the portion of fish not generous or particularly tasty, and no indication what sort of fish it was. I do like to know what I'm eating. Skin-on chips are a fine idea, but not when the skin is covered in large black marks, and certainly not when served in small, rusty galvanized buckets! Pea fritters were a bit strange, two of our party of five liked them, the fresh tartare sauce was the best part of the meal. I didn't complain because didn't want to make a fuss and possibly upset my elderly mother. Will I go back? Probably because I do love the building, but only for the art exhibitions and a coffee. The restaurant does need to decide exactly what it wants to be and implement a positive scheme of improvement. Rustic is one thing, but rusty buckets for chips are unacceptable!

We took visitors to lunch at the De La Warr Pavilion and were not disappointed. Lovely, tasty food served quickly and attentively with what must be one of the best views in a cafe anywhere. Our guests always want to come here whenever in Bexhill.

Once you’ve toured the exhibitions and enjoyed the town nearby, the DLWP cafe is a strong option for a lunchtime pit stop. Its menu offers some excellent options and the space itself is bright and comfortable, with fantastic views and plenty of space.

Visited the de la Warr to take my niece to lunch. We have come here a few times over the years so know what to expect. We ordered food in the cafe and managed to bag a window seat to look out at the sea, which was choppy and very atmospheric.

We popped in to try the cafe whilst visiting Bexhill. We only had hot drinks and cake so can't really pass comment on the standard of the food; the cake was nice and the drinks fine. However the setting was lovely - it is a cafe, absolutely, so nothing special decor wise, but the sea views are lovely and make for a nice relaxing setting.

I viisted recently and the ordering was confused and some of the items I wanted were not available. The food when it arrived was not up to the usual standard and included a very grim looking lump of fried pea that looked very unappetising. The fish and chips also included two small pickle onions. The potatoes for the chips had not been prepared well.

I have taken many friends to this restaurant and never been disappointed. On a sunny day it is great to sit out on the balcony and watch the world go by! Also useful if you are attending a show in the theatre there.

We called in here for a coffee at the halfway point of our seafront walk.

Visited here twice in my holiday to Sussex from Australia a beaut building built about 1935 overlooking the sea wonderful view we had a snack meal and coffee in the cafe very nice and reasonable price over all a nice experience my one negative is that it desperately needs a paint job outside

Nice setting with views along the promenade and out to the sea. Unfortunately I found the food menu very limited, shame as I feel so much more could be made of the potential of this place. Tea and coffee were good. Pricey.

An iconic building with fantastic views, but........ Food and drink is grossly overpriced, setting is very noisy and, on our visit, the staff were more interested in moving furniture around (following a function in the adjacent room) than in our comfort. At best, therefore, only a very limited recommendation.

The food here is very good, and the pastries are excellent. It isn't table service so you have to order at the coffee bar, however your food is then brought to the table. The views are the best in Bexhill and probably rival any on the South Coast of England. In fine weather you cannot do better.

Really lovely venue and great food - rather highly priced but we were in great company and loved the view so didn’t mind so much

We had a sandwich each, they were lovely, nice salad with them. We had a beef sandwich and a chicken sandwich, would recommend to anyone. Great value for money.

Fantastic Art Deco building with cafe and art gallery. The art gallery was closed on the day I visited. Coffee and scone excellent, service not great.

A great place with super seaviews from both indoor and the outdoor terrace. Lovely meals plus snacks and coffee. Recommend the sausage rolls.

On Wednesday 22nd August, 2018, we visited De la Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea. It's a grade 1 listed building of Modernist architectural style. There is a cafe, bar, and gift shop. The shop has many books, gifts, and other items of interest. The Pavilion has recently been refurbished as a centre for the arts. From all accounts it is under utilised which is a pity. The building needs to bring in new ideas to maximise its usage. The cafe has some great views of the coast. There is a large car park with reasonable charges. It's a beautiful building and worthy of a visit.

We visited for lunch and had the Welsh rarebit and salad and drinks. The food was excellent and really tasty. The weather wasn’t goos so we couldn’t sit outside, but we got a table by the window so could still appreciate the view. It must be lovely to eat outside when it’s sunny and really enjoy the fantastic setting of the Paviliion.

6 people behind a coffee bar and it still takes 10 minutes to get a drink - lessons needed from Starbucks or similar, methinks!

The falafel sandwich was enormous, well- presented, tasty and very good value. And then of course there's the view as well! Always a good experience

Second visit to this lovely cafe in an amazing building with sea views. Once again we chose the meze and were not disappointed - very tasty.

The Pavilion is famous enough already, for its location, architecture, shop, exhibitions, concert-hall; and I have had tasty tea and scones in the cafe before. Now, a cooked meal, ordered at the counter in the slightly (but not wholly negatively - informally?) disorganised cafe/restaurant, where a separate, central layout of cakes etc.(not all price-tagged) seems uncertainly linked with the restaurant. Adds to the informal atmosphere, perhaps. And having ordered and negotiated the slightly dangerous doorway to it, one sits (in our case, out on the sunny balcony overlooking the terrace and with splendid sea-view).... anywhere, feeling uncertain the food will arrive (How does the waiter know where you are?). But, fairly quickly, arrive it does. And is delicious! Beautifully cooked and served in a professionally friendly manner: how could one have doubted? I cannot remember what we had; but that both of us were more than satisfied with the haute-ish cuisine chosen from a modest, but varied menu. Given the surroundings, the price was quite reasonable (even if the paper napkins got blown about; the price of eating on the otherwise desirable, a bit cramped, balcony....).

We have always enjoyed coming here until this week and considered the food good and worth the fairly high price.

We queued for ages only to receive our hot chocolate,luke warm. It appeared to be just youngsters in charge. They weren't friendly at all. We won't be going back

Really don't eat here if it is busy. Shambolic, chaotic and chippy staff. I am beside myself with anger at the attitude. A large party in and the place goes to rats**t. A disgrace for such an eminent venue. And fobbed with the offer of a glass of wine to shut us up. Someone deal with this ASAP.

Had a mooch about the Pavilion with family who were visiting the UK, decided to grab lunch here before setting off.

What can be said about this wonderful Art Deco building that proudly sits on Bexhill promenade

The Redhead and I both had a great meze of Mediterranean vegetables with feta. The redhead's ginger beer and my sparkling water were a bit pricey, but the setting is great.

I wasn’t impressed with my lunch out here. I ordered the chicken ceaser salad which was priced at £12. When it came out it was a few lettuce leaves, some tomatoes and a scrawny bit of chicken. The croutons were forgotten about entirely and were brought half way through the meal. It felt a bit pretentious for what it was. Wouldn’t go back when it’s that expensive.

We took Grandma out for the day, so six of us. Lunch at the DLW was good honest food, without being spectacular in any way, unpretentious, fresh, suitable for the children as well, somewhat pricey (ouch) and portions not huge. Fish was fresh and nicely done, kids burgers passed the taste test (good juicy patty of meat), pasta tasty, and the fishcakes and salad were pretty good. It's a light and airy space with a wonderful view of the sea and it's all very clean and fresh looking. It was pretty full and service was slow, not really surprising. Plenty of kids and buggies, and noise. It's a large echoing space with nothing to deaden the noise. Staff seemed a bit young and inexperienced, possibly temporary for the season. Calm and reflective it aint. It's bustling with a bit of pressure to go and make room for others. There is a good lift upstairs for Grandma, and a good car park with disabled spaces is right outside the doors. Just below the restaurant is a large gallery area, which had an interesting exhibition. There is a busy café alongside the restaurant which was so full with queues it was difficult to get through. We love Art Deco style, and the building is of course a classic. Nice gardens as well and the kids had fun on the beach which included getting all their clothes wet. Ho hum. Is it always that windy ?

Lovely view on a clear day - had a cuppa - a little bit expensive. A little bit care-worn in places - but the toilets were really good - thank you.

Lovely venue with amazing sea view. Had a great lunch, lots of choice and really good quality. The building itself is worth a visit especially as it's free entry. A real gem.

Im not really prone to giving bad reviews but sorry to say not imressed with the pavillion my wife and i have been several times as we live nearby but today was just disappionting they have stopped seling the nice tubs of country ice cream and only provide the home made variety at 4.50 over priced

First trip to The De-La-Warr Pavilion and was impressed with the exhibitions and the view from the cafe. The service was painfully slow and the food overpriced for what it was.

Perfectly nice cafe, but a bit cramped and can be very busy. The staf were efficient, but it still meant a long queue and cramped areas to sit. The drinks were fine.

just looking for somewhere to chill, watch the clouds race over the sea, have a glass of wine: found cafe and bar at the Pavilion. Friendly service, reasonably priced, easy access, and next to a large car park.

The building is lovely, the restaurant is well located with great sea views and there is a kiddies corner. The food was nice and well presented. The service was fast and polite. The issue I guess is the price. I don't know why it has to be so expensive for what it is. This has put us off going back, but we enjoyed the meal anyhow. Worth a visit, but bear in mind your budget. They had some odd meals like jacket potato with morrocan meatballs or grilled vegetables. The kids meals were better value for a meal, drink and icecream.

The beautiful architecture, the light and the fantastic view of the sea make this a wonderful place to be. On a sunny day there is nothing more delightful than sitting on the balcony looking out at the sea and enjoying the warmth. Yesterday I went and the sea was stormy and the rain was coming down and it was equally amazing (I didn't sit outside). The restaurant is nice with good food and good coffee. They have soup, salads, fish & chips, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and a children's menu. I had the vegetable mezze which had good flavours and was well presented.They had a good selection of afternoon tea cakes and scones as well. The art book shop is interesting there and you can also go to one of their free exhibitions. Exhibitions are of contemporary art so may not be to everyone's taste but of very high quality.

Having been driven home by friends the least I could do was offer them lunch !!! That is my excuse any way. The Pavilion is a great place to have an informal meeting, or spoil friends and the food is different and always good. Try the Vegetarian Mezze !!

What a wonderful building that is brought alive by attentive staff and delightful exhibtions, shows, food and views that on a sunny day could be looking out over the Med. An outside verandah allows for food, drinks and watching the world go by.

Bon, si vous voulez manger pas cher, il faut l'éviter mais si vous voulez manger avec vue sur mer ou même juste prendre un thé ou un café avec une douceur, foncez car c'est très bon et la vue sur la mer est magnifique

We visited the Pavilion as a family of six for lunch after reading reviews. We were a little unsure of what we'd find, but the uncertainty was blown away with stunning views, delicious food, and great service. The views from the restaurant are sweeping of the Bexhill beach and coastline further along. You can choose between eating inside or outside on the balcony; we started off outside, but the wind was a little chilly so we moved inside. The young lady waiting on us was bothered at all at my change of mind of seating and helpfully moved us inside with a smile on her face and friendly conversation. I was so impressed with her right from the start as she struck a great balance between being familiar, funny, and very attentive. My wife and I had the pancetta-wrapped hake (packed with muscles, prawns, and loads of veg), three of the children had the chicken goujons (fresh chicken breast in panko breadcrumbs), and one of my sons had the tomato pasta (stunningly rich sauce made with blended roast vegetables). To round the meal off, the children had their complimentary ice cream; so many places dish out rubbish quality ice cream for the kids, but this was Cornish ice cream from Callestick Farm and so it was utterly delicious and so all them polished off every drop (much to my disappointment!).All in all, it was a thoroughly excellent experience. Thank you to the chefs and waitress who really elevated the visit from good to great!

This is a great venue with lots of history and architecture. It hosts many different events throughout the year including bands, shows music events outside for all to enjoy, they even host an big screen cinema on the beach for family's on summer evenings.They also have a bar and restaurant area with lots of seating both in and outside.

Lovely Art Deco building, great cafė with sea views, only downside and we say it every year on New Year's Eve as a family we see the new year in just behind the Pavillion, and there's lots of other people around, and we all say Why isn't the building lite up......

We were in the area and stopped by the De La Warr Pavilion for lunch on impulse. The food was reasonably priced, delicious and beautifully presented. The system for ordering was very well organised and the serving staff were friendly and efficient. Along with the beautiful views it felt like a special treat.

This was a lucky find. The menu is small but is varied. My crab and prawn sandwich with chunky chips was tasty and substantial, at a reasonable price. You can sit outside on the balcony facing the sea on a nice day or sit inside. There is a bar too. The cakes looked lovely but we were too full. I would definitely go again.

I had lunch at the De La Warr Pavilion this week and was very pleased with my choice ofa mezze. It was beautifully presented with lots of tasters of various vegetarian savories, full of flavour and filling too.

Rick Wakeman gig. Excellent night listening to his musings on collaborations with musical legends and his fab piano pieces
