Farm @ Friday Street in Eastbourne

Came for a light lunch today .. The light meals on offer were very limited as there had been delivery problems. The food was awful .. thick dry ciabattas with hardly any filling….

Made to feel welcome. So tonight we were asked to leave red lion at 20:30 and went to the farm and was welcomed by the guy behind the bar what a great pub we were made to feel welcome and such a Lovley atmosphere if we still lived in Eastbourne this would be our local

We held our Wake here yesterday, The food buffet and service was amazing! Certainly would recommend this venue, as it is close to Eastbourne crematorium and it has a lovely welcoming feel.

We booked a table for 10 for a joint birthday celebration. We couldn’t be more happy with the venue, service and food. The staff were amazing, the food was perfect and the pub itself is stunning. Emma and her team made the experience nothing short of perfect. Thank you

Would recommend again and again

The best vegetarian roast ever. Veggie wellington had filo pastry it was just perfect. Lovely hot potatoes and fresh veg.

We there last week it is a very welcome place the farm is very very nice place for food very good atmosphere we will be back Next time we are down east sussex.

I booked a table for 8 on 13th December for a work Xmas lunch as the Christmas menu looked good. When we arrived we were told that we could not order from the Xmas menu as we had not pre-ordered. No-where on their website, or in the booking process, said that pre-ordering food was needed, even though I had said it was for a Christmas lunch. The waitress said there was nothing they could do and that we could only choose from the regular menu, which was not festive & not very interesting. I checked their website, and booking process, to be sure that I hadn't missed anything, but there was absolutely nothing to say we needed to pre-order. Had it not been the only date we could all do, we would have left and rearranged our Xmas do, but it was this or nothing so we stayed. We were all disappointed - we had an okay but nothing special meal, and I then paid almost £300 for the experience. I emailed afterward to complain and suggest that they make it clear on their website, or when ordering, that pre-ordering food is required and I have had no response. I guess after 2 months I'm not going to get a response either. Very disappointing and next year we will go back to The Cricketer's Arms (Berwick) instead as the price is comparable but the food & staff are much, much better.

Lovely evening friendly staff and very nice food.

My partner and I visited yesterday, 2nd Feb, for Sunday lunch. From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised at the decor, very much an olde worlde pub. We were served drinks by very friendly bar staff and when we mentioned that we had booked to dine they offered to show us our table and if it was suitable. We initially sat on a comfortable sofa before making our way to the table and within minutes a member of the waiting staff brought a menu. We decided to have the mixed meat Sunday roast, with a side order of cauliflower cheese. We both agreed that the lunch was stunning, the meats were tender, and the whole meal was piping hot. However, as someone who likes a lot of gravy, I had to ask if I could have more, which was happily supplied. By the end of the meal, we were so full that we decided not to have a dessert. However, a singer and acoustic guitarist called the Spooky Wagons started performing, what a treat!! The music complemented the afternoon and finished off a perfect lunch. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful pub. Oak beams. Fire. Food is lovely. Great Service

A nice place with friendly staff and nice food.

My wife and I called in at 2.00 Friday. Busy, we were put in the annex. Service was good and friendly. I had the Duck. Well cooked on a bed of Butterbeans..lots of Butterbeans with a Chorizo and tomato sauce. Sauce was really bland the Chorizo (Dulche) in slices, pea sized might have helped spread the flavour. Spinach. My wife had the Fish and Chips. Freshly cooked but the fish, Cod, was the tail and you can't batter and fry that cut and keep the thin piece of fish from being dry and the batter crisp. Great Tartar sauce. Chips, lots of bits. Can't see me returning.

Quite pricey but really good food, you pay for what you get! Nice atmosphere too.

Really cozy place to grab a good burger with some drinks. A quaint place with snug interiors and fire burning. The serving is really good too.

Lovely pub and restaurant. I had the wild mushroom risotto which was divine.

Went for Christmas dinner with family and paid £85. Waited an hour for our starter which wasn’t too bad then another hour for our main which was cold hard lumps in my mash was shocking!!! For £85!! All my family had the same problem then I ordered the crème brûlée which was a lemon cheese cake! Shocking you’ve obviously over booked and took everyone money and under delivered I demand a refund unacceptable!!!!!! I feel robbed!

Fabulous place for food,service and fascinating inside,highly recommend 👌

We had a lovely Christmas meal at The Farm @ Friday Street. Liam was very helpful from start to finish arranging the booking/menu/choices. All staff were friendly and helpful, great setting and atmosphere and fantastic food (great portions) too. Couldn’t fault anything and I’ll certainly be back 👍🏻

Had the Sunday roast. It was okay, but not great. Good selection of ales .

Always a great place to eat. The food and service never disappoints.

Steak night with my wife, all I can say is well done.... we really enjoyed it.. cooked to perfection and probably the best steak I've had for some time.. well done all.

Massive thanks to Liam and the rest of the team for going above and beyond for my husbands wake.

Very pleasant environment and nice food.

We had Mum’s wake , an afternoon tea upstairs at The Farm obviously really handy as so close to cemetery. The staff are very helpful & pleasant. The venue is ideal for all celebrations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friendly, welcoming, great food and drink

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

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

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.

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. 🤩

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

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.

Two pints and a coke for £18. Ridiculously overpriced

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.

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.

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.

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

Great open fire, great atmosphere

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.

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
