Deans Place Hotel in Wealden

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this cozy little café! We enjoyed a delicious chicken pesto panini with a fresh salad and crispy chips, along with a vibrant halloumi salad that was bursting with flavor. The coffees were lovely—rich and perfectly brewed—and the coffee and chocolate cake was simply divine. The service was impressively quick, and everything was served with care. Highly recommend this gem for a delightful meal and warm atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again!

So...booked a table for Sunday Lunch 2 weeks in advance...rang 8 days (yes ...you heard me...over a week & I have the call log on my phone to prove it!) before the date of our booking to add guests. No answer on the phone, so left a message asking to increase our booking numbers...heard nothing back so assumed all was ok. Arrived to be told firstly that nobody picked up their answerphone messages, secondly that I should have rung again and checked they listened to answerphone messages and finally that the owner had not left the premises (nor obviously taken a shower or gone for a wee) at any time in the last two weeks for 24 hours every day & that I was obviously lying! They could not accommodate us as they, at lunchtime on a Sunday, did not have enough food...we were increasing our booking for 10 covers to 13 covers not 60! I am sorry for all those who came in later to find no food in the kitchen. Albeit this is our local, in walking distance of our house...PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER. We went to the Crow & Gate, a short drive away, where the atmosphere was amazing, the food absolutely divine, the staff friendly and accomodating. A walking party of 35 arrived, unbooked, whilst we were there & the staff bent over backwards to accommodate and serve them all. Sadly our village no longer has a friendly and accomodating local pub as this is the only one. If you have a car go up the road to the Crow & Gate...you will not regret it. Hopefully the Pig & Butcher will Google "good customer service" at some point...until then really don't waste your time!

Always a friendly welcome and great 0% pint 😀
