Farm @ Friday Street in Eastbourne

Wow.... what a fantastic Sunday roast.... I had beef and that's probably the best roast I've eaten in a very long time... all the family said food was amazing.. well done and staff were amazing too.

The landlady and her team simply could not do enough to ensure my son and his gorgeous new wife had the most glorious & magical wedding day. The head chef created two magnificent wedding buffets, It certainly was a feast. Working together with the landlady & Chef to create everything within our budget. Allowing us free reign to decorate, although the venue already has ample rustic charm that lends itself as a wedding venue. The whole team assisted in anyway that was needed, even providing refreshments to keep us going during set up and takedown.Everyone was just so friendly & helpful. The communication with Emma the landlady was spot on with every step, friendly & accommodating, from planning to execution. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend ' The Farm' Friday Street as a wedding reception venue, fabulous Sunday roasts with acoustic sessions, a great meeting place with friends and family. You will be given a warm welcome for sure. I can not thank them enough.

OMG.... what an amazing Sunday lunch. The food is MASSIVELY improved, new chef , new quality. We are regulars and love love love Friday street farm. Thank you.

It’s been a while since we have eaten here. There’s a new chef and we were really pleased with the changes this has brought in. Fantastic quality of food. Back to what we always expected from Friday Street. The lovely Emma served us and as always good service. Well worth a visit. I am fussy about roast dinners outside the home but this was worth it. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Not the greatest. The roast was very dry and bland. Potatoes were the most disappointing bit of the whole dish. The best bit was the gravy and the dessert. Font of house staff was great though full credit to them. Hopefully, it will improve next time I visit

Such a shame we're not local! Visiting family and had the most amazing Sunday roast! Everything was cooked to perfection! They also had a one man band, wow what a voice absolutely superb please keep singing! Fantastic service from all the staff, amazing ambience and beautiful building!

Want to express a massive thank you to Emma and her staff for the lovely welcome given to us for our wedding reception. The buffet lunch was amazing. Food delicious. Wonderful atmosphere in this beautiful pub. Thanks to chef and bar staff. Highly recommend.

Don't regularly eat at the Farm but meet with friends every month for drinks and are booking our Xmas lunch there (have had a pud now and again which has alwaysbeen yummy). Staff are lovely and welcoming, and the atmosphere is simply magical with its gorgeous fairy lights. A lovely old farmhouse with local historical significance, the place was rammed when we met on Tuesday. Just love it there; old world charm, a real log fire and a warm welcome.

We came here for lunch today. We had excellent service by both the barman and waiter. We were really impressed with the gluten free sandwich offerings. We ordered fish goujon GF sandwiches. These were prepared by the chef with a GF batter without hassle. Plenty of parking and space inside. Takes dogs too. Will be back soon.

Such a pretty pub/restaurant. Photos on the website do not do it justice. Lovely welcome by the owner, a fabulous host throughout. Food was delicious. Great quality steak, cooked perfectly. Squid starter and sticky toffee pudding delicious. All this and very dog friendly too. Really couldn't be any nicer.

Kind people, nice food and cozy place.

Let’s talk Thursday steak nights… please don’t ever change!!😍 the steaks are always UNREAL!! We absolutely love it! We are yet to come to a music event but we are still new to the area. Can’t wait to spend many more nights here.

We visited The Farm for a wake. The buffet food was very good, sandwiches well filled, with a good selection.

Friendly, welcoming, great food and drink

Arrived for Sunday roast with my wife ,father in law and my Boxer dog we were greeted like friends all the staff fantastically friendly not over the top and the best part was the food was beautiful we have booked again for next Sunday we truly recommend this place

No printed allergen/ingredients menu available. The food was more chilled rather than cooked! Surprisingly bad. The photoshopped exterior fooled us, it was not in such a nice location!

Little bit pricey but nice people and good food

It was a very nice place. There was only one person at the bar so service was slow. The food and drink were excellent but very overpriced. Be careful if you are tall as some ceilings are quite low.

Stopped over in our van Lovely friendly staff All the food cooked fresh Live music Definitely recommend Thank you

Thank you for having us and our campervan for one night. Thank you for your efforts to make the EM Final watch happen with your nice friends and the delicious beer and crisps. Thank you. 🤩

You have to visit and be amazed by every hidden gem inside and out. I've never been to a place like it! Just has that wow factor as soon as you walk in.

Very good food. Generous quantities, especially the ploughman's. Very friendly and helpful service. We'll kept beer. Good value.

What an amazing place! So many features, pictures and bits of history to look at.... while enjoying tasty food!

A simple menu: well-cooked and tasty. Friendly, helpful service. Update the following week - same meal but steak over-cooked and tomatoes cold. Maybe a different chef on duty? Disappointing.

Popped in on the off chance for a Sunday roast. Food great and v good value. Lovely friendly staff. Definitely go again. Just missed out on the live music which was starting as we left but he sounded great. Really like the interior of the pub- a very country cosy pub feel.

We visited for a family catch up as we had family over from New Zealand , just also happened to be Fathers Day. I booked in person as we had 1 wheelchair user and an autistic child we wanted to pre order a meal for. Nothing was too much trouble, we were well looked after throughout, the meal was lovely and prices hadn’t been inflated for Father’s Day. Lovely decor pub , live music and friendly, helpful staff Thank you so much

Attended recently with a large group of people after a funeral, very nice buffet, selection of sandwiches, nibbles and a choice of two gateaux, there was plenty of seating for us in the section provided

We found the place with the motorhome via BritStop. In return for staying overnight, you eat and drink in the restaurant. The food was good, the decor and ambience was great, the staff was very friendly. The place was flat and quite quiet. Caution: Extremely large potholes throughout the park area.

Good quality food, reasonable portions and good value compared to other pubs. Food served in a timely manner with staff all being friendly and chatty when required

Came in this afternoon for food and a few drinks was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. We were served by a very tall blonde chap he went over and beyond for us and ensured we had a great time, he was very bubbly and chatty definitely deserves a pay rise in my opinion! Can’t wait to come back.

Love coming here for a meal and drink in the beer garden, the beers is always at its best so hats off to whoever deals with that. Thank you

Two pints and a coke for £18. Ridiculously overpriced

Great pub with very good food. Reception and service top. As a camper, it is even possible to spend the night in the pub's own parking lot if you stop at the pub.

Really lovely venue. Was only there for a couple of drinks but thought it was great. Definitely somewhere I want to go back to.

Quiet on a Wednesday night. Food ok and good drinks selection.

I booked The Farm for a wake and all the guests were so impressed with the lovely venue, very helpful staff and delicious buffet food (they also catered for one of our party that was gluten intolerant). I would highly recommend The Farm for any kind of celebration. I will look forward to going back and enjoying a meal in the very near future.

Lovely little place. The food is great, not too crowded and not too busy or loud. The selection of drinks is decent and the prices are very affordable and match what you get. I fault the service slightly as the waiter splashed some of our drinks on me, and did not even apologize or acknowledge the fact. Other than that, I do recommend.

A lovely reception of the staff on arrival.They cater for glueten free and other.it's a real tea rooms should be.

Full of character, nice ambiance

Really like going to the Farm on a hot day enjoying the sunshine with a cold cider in the beer garden.

A friendly and welcoming plus no bad prices, with a good range of choices 👌

Beautiful restaurant, amazing decor, nice and helpful staff, delicious food. We highly recommend it

I had not made a reservation but I was welcomed and taken to a table. The staff were all incredibly friendly, there was such a warm feel to the place. The food was absolutely amazing, I had the Thai butternut squash pie which was very unique and very tasty! I also had the crème brûlée which I couldn’t fault either. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely go back - I definitely recommend a visit!

Very dark and old ,but has character, food amazing staff friendly, plenty of parking ,more expensive then most pubs about £5 more per main course ,which this day and age is nothing .

Lovely old pub with excellent staff and manager. Plenty of car parking and live music on certain dates. Dog friendly.

Would recommend it a lovely building and helpful staff

Until We were there I didn’t realise it was paper of the Revived Group, it I had a wouldn’t even have gone in. My second visit to their well overpriced pubs with minimum service. A glass of very mediocre wine was £6.20 the cheapest, a packet of crisps was £1.30 and a small child’s coke was £3. ! At five glasses to the bottle this equates to £31 for the bottle which zi doubt cost £5. We looked at the food menu, basic ordinary starters and mains are ridiculously high, cheaper in some proper restaurants, needless to say we declined to eat and left, We will not be returning to any Revived Inns public houses. Whist I appreciate that prices and costs have risen and places are closing many of them I’m sure because places like this are putting people off. Plenty of other pubs with far better value, give these a miss.

Good: Fast & polite service. Bad: Food was mediocre and overpriced. Ugly: Clientele a bit rough!

It was mid afternoon so how much atmosphere can there be? I have a specific diet and they managed it, so I'm happy to eat here. The waiters are attentive and the bar staff knowledgeable on their beers and cider. The pub was warm and the decorations created a comfortable atmosphere. Been here twice now.

Just popped in here last minute for a drink and a spot of lunch and have to say all three of us really enjoyed it, very welcoming and friendly. Our lunches of soup, Welsh rarebit and Gammon ham ciabatta were all well portioned and tasty. Have been here many times over the years and happy to say it’s still a very charming and characteristic old pub.

Rude service and overpriced food.

Just came for a drink, but what an amazing old pub! Full of character. The building itself is quite something when you get inside. Certainly has wow factor. Will return to try the food at a later date. A pint of Best is a good choice.

Had my mother's wake at the Farm. Fantastic service , food beyond reproach, Harvey's beer, thoroughly recommended. Vegetarian and vegan diets catered for superbly.

Lovely pub and very friendly staff to make a perfect place to enjoy beer and fire. Winning combo indeed.

Staff super friendly and cosy atmosphere. But sadly food has gone downhill, same old menu & frozen fish for fish and chips and my friend had the burger which wasn’t very flavoursome. Such a shame. Probably won’t eat here again.

Abysmal service, waitress i believe her name was Lily extremely rude and more interested playing on the phone and talking to her colleagues than serving costumers. Frozen food reheated in microwave.

We were there for my husband's Wake. Recommended. Absolutely stonking place, run really well with great staff and atmosphere. Food was really good. Live music, I really enjoyed too. We had a ball. Thank you Friday Street Farm

Great value for money, nice atmosphere, love a buzzing, popular pub (especially for a Thursday night in Eastbourne) food very good and tasty but more importantly I was very impressed with the friendly attentive staff. Keep up your cheerful and hardworking aptitude!

Amazing food - the portion sizes were fantastic! Always loved this place and would recommend it to everyone.

Stopped here for lunch. Whilst the service was good and friendly enough the place seemed worryingly quiet and the food was very disappointing - Poor quality and hideously over priced for what it was. Either lower your prices or up your game.

Excellent service, attentive and personable, food was delicious, Sunday roast was amazing, music adds an excellent feel

An interesting and relaxing place to go will definitely be back food is 5 star

Brilliant meal, great atmosphere for a family get-together.

Christmas get together lovely table great staff 👍

Awful overpriced food. Fish was £17 for frozen battered fish, no taste and on the verge of mushy with chips cooked in old oil. Not impressed! I'm no food snob but at least dish up fair food. Big shame as the pub and staff were lovely.

Food was great. Service was as awesome. Outside the entrance needs smartning up a lot.

Food boring choices , although good . Think all frozen and heated through. Quiet , a few complaints going on but not from us. We enjoyed our meal 😋

My wife and two friends had a lovely lunch, one small point to much batter for the size of the fish .staff were excellent. Good value well worth a visit .lots of parking

Food was disappointing the fish and chips were all batter and not much fish chips were over cooked . The belly of pork was difficult to cut through . Service was good friendly and efficient but let down by quality of food . The toilets 2 didn't lock and one in the ladies the seat was falling off . Probably wouldn't go back disappointing.

Great open fire, great atmosphere

Nice unusual pub / restaurant lay out but dreadful food! Dried up chips fish mainly batter had to hunt for fish!!! Chorizo mix stew with no visible chorizo! Avoid ……

It's expensive (only had drinks on the last occasion) £6.50+ per pint, but it is a lovely place

A few years ago we loved this place. How could it have become a school dinner and bulk bought food from Bookers. Absolutely appalling undercooked vegetables and tepid meat all stashed on a small plate without being able to see what is underneath the watery gravy. Paying Extra for raw cauliflower and a sauce pretending to be cheese is an absolute joke. We will never return

Club Social Night out — 19 of us in the Oast section. Pre—ordered food all of which arrived on time & really nice. Great night out, excellent service & highly recommended

The venue is really lovely and the staff can't do enough for you. I arranged a joint birthday party here recently and I had my musician friend, Rick Bonner provide the entertainment and it went down really well. His first time performing there but hopefully not his last as everyone had a fab evening and really enjoyed the music, even people who was not part of our party group was dancing and having lots of fun. Great evening, thank you.

First time visiting this great pub, I tried three different local ale's and enjoyed them all,there was a band playing eighties music and was not so loud you could still have a conversation.the staff were friendly and accommodating.next time I'm visiting my sister I will definitely call in again.

Lovely food, lovely staff, great music from The Grand Benali

We had a small gathering following a cremation. We were very well looked after, the food and drink were excellent

Where to start... My second review of this place was that it was finally the day of my wedding! First off I want to thank and commend all the staff that helped, catered, served and cooked, all of you helped make our day even more special, the staff truly deserve a reward for putting up with my lot! ☆The place itself is picturesque, stunning decor, homely and cosy. I absolutely adore it! Always a perfect atmosphere ☆The food was delicious, and not one thing went wrong, gluten and dairy free options as well as vegan suited for all my guests on a menu specially catered to and for us, all the guests enjoyed it & the portions were marvelous! I have nothing but love and fondness for this place and highly recommend it not just as a venue but as a lovely warm place to go for a scrummy meal and beautiful atmosphere, attentive staff, absolute perfection! And to all of those who worked on the 30th of October for our wedding & to Emma for helping organise it all, thank you ever so much!

Food average tried to put extra on bill not impressed

We recently had a function in the Friday Street Farm, in the "Oast Room". It was a family gathering and following an easy booking process, the event was a huge success. This is largely due to the people who looked after our afternoon, and the food. Liam looked after all our needs and was extremely helpful and efficient, particularly considering our staggered times of arrival and departure. Tam behind the bar was very friendly and extremely efficient, even remembering previous drinks we had purchased. The food was freshly prepared, high quality and helped make the day as we had hoped. The venue and people deserve 5 stars all round, thank you to them.

Very interesting building with lots of variety in different areas. Atmospheric, and cosy in the bar area with wonderful space deeper into the building.

Lovely pub and friendly staff. When I'm in Eastbourne again I will definitely pop in for some food.

We held my father's wake at The Farm. The staff were kind and helpful in assisting us with planning and responded swiftly to our questions, beforehand. On the day the buffet was excellent, with plenty of choice and quantity at a very reasonable price. We were allocated our own part of the bar area which worked really well. Thank you The Farm for making a sad day go well.

We held my Dad's Wake here recently, in the private mezzanine area. Liam and the team couldn't have been more lovely, from my initial enquiry right through to the Wake itself. There was enormous amounts of food, plenty of coffee/tea top-ups (as well as food top-ups) so plenty to go round. The chocolate cake was absolutely delicious! I also really appreciated the little touches to make it more personal (including setting out a couple of photographs before we arrived, and pouring a fresh pint of Guinness for my Dad). The staff were very sensitive to the occasion, and helped a difficult day pass by very smoothly.

Really enjoyed my steak. Comfy and spacious surroundings

Excellent food and very friendly service. Not too busy lunchtime which made for a very relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.

Amazing! Best Sunday lunch we have had, great portions, tasty, good quality and really friendly staff, the ambience was really warming and welcoming, I recommend sunday lunch here and we will be back 😀

This was not our first choice for the evening but we were let down by another venue so called in at short notice. Staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Whilst not an extensive menu it was varied enough to have to ponder over for more than a few minutes. We were not disappointed with our choices nor with the value for money. We also came back three nights later with friends who also made similar observations so well done to all at The Farm

We went here for a family meal. Atmosphere was good. The lack of attire the waitress wore although for a night out was nice but not for serving. She had to keep pulling her top down.

Food was lovely and our waitress was wonderful!

We 3 of us visited Friday farm for sunday roast dinner ,very nice however disappointing to see only choice of meat ,beef chicken ,gammon which we don't recognise as sunday roast meat, where is pork, LAMB , our visit was spoilt by 3 middle aged women shouting screaming with young child running about the floor ,not sure we would ever go again.

Have been here a few times with our family and always enjoyed the afternoon tea and buffet. The staff have been very polite and helpful.

Staff were so welcoming and attentive, the place is beautiful, but unfortunately the food is not good. We were worried it was so quiet when we arrived and now we know why! They really need to get someone in the kitchen who knows what they’re doing - it’s such a shame as we won’t be going back, even though it’s our closest eatery, and I imagine 9 out of 10 potential regulars will be thinking the same thing.

We held our wedding reception at the Farm, and we couldn't have faulted the food, service or atmosphere! We were able to hire the upstairs part, free of charge, Friday through to Sunday. So we had plenty of time to set up and take down the decorations. I had plenty of email exchange with the farm leading up to our big day and I couldn't have faulted that either! I would highly recommend the Farm @ Friday Street.

What a stunning place to visit for a delicious meal, my partner and I came here to have a look as we'd like our wedding after party here, and I was over the moon with the service and the look of the place, to me this is an utter dream! And I want to say a massive thank you to Megan and Holly, two wonderful members of staff who made our visit exceptional and gave me lots of information on where we may go if we choose to have our party here ect, I cannot make a single complaint TLDR; Amazing atmospheric pub, with lovely accommodating staff.

Such a beautiful building but we hadn’t been for a while. Friendly attentive staff. However the food has gone down hill since our past visits. The food was nice but nothing special and certainly not worth the large price tags. We were told that they had no beef burgers yet as “they hadn’t finished defrosting”. There was only one pie left. This was on a Saturday lunchtime at the start of service. Nothing was unpleasant but for the price it was disappointing. Dropping prices or increasing the standard of the dishes would easily solve this.

We’re local and went to the farm today having not visited for a long time. I want to start by saying that the pub is utterly gorgeous. The staff too were really friendly. However we’re very disappointed with the food options and the food itself. I haven’t done a review in a very long time but we were so annoyed that it felt only right to. I ordered the vegan burger which should come with chips and a salad. I enquired about the chips as they didn’t have a (ve) symbol despite being listed as served with a vegan burger. We were told that they aren’t vegan as they are cooked in the same oil as the fish. This is such a huge waste and has turned a vegan product into not even vegetarian. We still stayed and I had just the burger and salad - if they can be called that. The ‘burger’ was quite literally one mushroom, a slice of pepper, a slice of tomato, lettuce and a bun. I’m not sure how it can be called a burger when there is no patty at all. It still cost over £10 despite money being taken off for the lack of chips. I certainly don’t expect to go out for lunch and then have to go home and eat something else afterwards. My fiancés blue cheese and beef burger was also disappointing. He commented that the beef itself was good but the cheese was virtually non-existent. It’s a real shame and I can’t comment on the other vegan options on the menu, but given the poor attempt at a burger I don’t hold out much hope. I don’t think we’ll be visiting again for food, nor will we be recommending it to others. I hope that they’ll update the menu to be more inclusive and in keeping with this day and age. This has done both the pub itself and the staff a disservice.

It was very dark just candles and bare lighting and the food took a long time to arrive even though they were not busy.

A big thank you to Emma and the team. We had a fabulous birthday party in the back room. There were sixteen of us. The set up was perfect, the food was great quality. Service was relaxed but spot on for what we were looking for. Staff attentive, friendly & helpful. Having a pre order made it so easy. We’ll be back again soon.
