Fletchers House in Rother

Fantastic meal at Fletchers house. The three course menu for £35 was great value, even more so with the amuses bouche, soup and petit fours they added in. We had a private room upstairs (good call on their part, as we were a very chatty group of friends!) and it was perfect. Staff were all lovely - can’t fault it. Also they were excellent at accommodating needs of people who need gluten free food, staff were knowledgable about what needed to be changed with no fuss.

A really exceptional meal. The whole experience was well thought through from the moment diners walk in. Service was quiet and unfussy and someone in the kitchen knows what they're doing!

Reluctant to leave a good review and ruin my chances of getting a table when we're back next time. This gem should be booked out every night and cued out the door so enjoy this restaurant before Michelin find out. Service was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. It's great to never have an empty glass infront of you. Food was one of the best meals I've had in the UK, and easily the best value for money I have had. I Recommend washing it down with one of there posh pornstar cocktails. Complimentary canapés and soup before your starters is a fantastic touch. 5/5 or 10/10 whatever you prefer we loved this place.

Our second visit to this wonderful restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere are all perfect and we look forward to returning on our next visit to Rye.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating my husband’s birthday. Rhubarb and Custard cocktails ( you have to try it -believe me) in the upstairs cocktail bar to begin. Sat on the golden thrones - very camp but fun! Food and wine fabulous. What a gem. We loved it. Excellent customer service - if only we were locals we would be regulars.

Lovely return visit to this restaurant. Service excellent as ever and some lovely food. Particularly enjoyed the scallop and salmon tortellini.

We found this restaurant on tripadvisor and it certainly did not disappoint . We had the tasting menu which was delicious and very good value for money . All the staff were really lovely and friendly . Definitely worth a visit . Book in advance though .

There’s a reason why this place is rated #1 in Rye. Service is superb, atmosphere is great, food is sublime. We went for the Sunday menu. Loads of options. Nice canapés, outstanding soup, beautiful duck parfait and perfectly cooked beef. What more could you ask for? Couple of bottles of Curious Brew Lager and a bottle of Spanish Rose. All delicious. All very fairly priced. Staff knew their stuff, especially the wines. I’ll be back soon.

What an absolute gem! We have been to Rye many times but understand Fletchers was a tea room before and had not been inside. We booked it for this evening and it surpassed all expectations. The staff were all young but clearly experienced. The restaurant seems quite high end which can mean the staff are all over you but they had the balance spot on. Friendly,helpful and just attentive enough. I have a food allergy and was expertly catered for. We ordered the salmon tartare and the wasabi sorbet with it was delicious. Also the duck starter with 3 different duck elements was very tasty. Mains were panko pork belly with scallops and the chicken wrapped in pancetta. All perfectly cooked and the sauces were gorgeous. To finish we had the Tonka bean panacotta and the cheese plate. The homemade oat and honey biscuits with the cheese plate were fantastic. We could happily have eaten a plate of those alone! The unexpected hors d’ouevres followed by soup and bread to start was a great touch,plus petit fours with coffee-the marshmallow was like eating a tiny cloud. Genuinely there is not a single thing to complain about and we can’t wait to return. Unbelievably reasonable prices for top quality food and drink. I must also applaud the alcohol-free selection. Several ‘grown up’ mocktails and a couple of other beer and gin choices on the menu. Very thoughtful. I urge you to visit Fletchers if you’re in Rye-you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent food and service .. Will certainly return for more splendid delights

Food was very good and the service was immaculate. Can reccomend. If you go, the gold loo is something to behold :-). The cost, bearing in mind the high standards was thought to be quite reasonable

Perfect for lunch, cocktail or dinner The staff are 5 *****Thank you for an amazing experience James, Amy & front of house staff.

Wow! What an amazing afternoon! Fantastic food, attentive and polite staff, fabulous surroundings. Would definitely recommend!!

Great food. Great friendly staff.

We came here not knowing what to expect. It was Christmas Eve and not much was open. The service is top notch, as was the food. The menu was quite creative and the overall experience was good. This is the kind of restaurant you go to if you have time and you appreciate detail. It was certainly the best Christmas dinner I've had in years.

Anne and I ate here in mid Janaury. An amazing 5 star experience from the quality and size of the protions to the service. Eating out a lot in London, we felt the price was understated for the quality.

Visually this is a great restaurant; the building is historically old and has been fitted out in an unusual way to a very high standard. To match this the food is beyond excellent and our waiter had just the right personality to make us welcome and engage with us without being intrusive.

Delightful canapés and a tiny but perfect celeriac soup were served 'on the house'. Lots of us had either scallop starters (with gorgeous wasabi sorbet) or mains which were just sublime. Portion sizes were very generous. The staff were friendly, efficient and very helpful with our requests for local knowledge about the seafood market. Not cheap, but very justifiably worth it.

What a fabulous restaurant! The food was so innovative and really tasty. We were a group of 19 and had a separate upstairs room. The service was impeccable too. We had a superb evening. Highly recommended!

I booked here on a whim and I am so glad I did. Absolutely fantastic staff and general experience overall. We were offered to use the cocktail bar before our meals which was a lovely experience. The staff were impeccable and kind. The food was wonderful (especially the wasabi sorbet starter nd my partner thouroughly enjoyed the duck starter- said it was the best duck he had ever had). They also did a fantastic selection of alcohol free and its the first time I had seen a non alcoholic espresso martini on offer!) I highly rate this restaurant!

Really great food, excellent service and a wonderful atmosphere. We had a lovely evening.

Just delicious! Every course a real treat!

Comfortable, fine dining restaurant in centre of Rye. Service was friendly and efficient, always helpful. Food is very well sourced, much local, and cooked perfectly. One of the best restaurants in Rye and convneient, just off the high street by the chuch and town hall. Look forward to next visit.

I had 2 courses lunch just for £25 per person! It was really a lovely price. The meal was also served with appetizer and bread. The entire dining experience was great. I like this place, happy to visit again in the future. Off topic was about its golden toilet. It was epic, must visit.

Perfect evening ! The staff ,food and service five stars! We cannot wait to return.

Great place to eat, service by staff excellent great food recommend to try here

Beautiful and truly delicious menu. The staff where a little to afficient - we put that down to the fact it was very quite however we would of liked some time to breath amoungst courses. They took time to deliver the wine but was jumping almost down out necks when it come to the bill! It's a pretty periodic space and you won't be disappointed only by the price 😉

Great place. Have been here a few times now and would highly recommend

Fantastic food, cosy atmosphere always a warm welcome. Our new favourite

The food was fantastic, great atmosphere, cocktails were brilliant. Staff very attentive, the cost is very reasonable for the excellent quality.

Fletchers was a great dining experience, the food here is exceptional, with great detail. We came for my boyfriends birthday and they gave us some fudge with Happy Birthday written on the plate, we were very pleased with the hospitality here.

Great waitress provided excellent service and lovely food - well worth a try and the bathroom is to die for 💛

We had been told Fletchers House was a good restaurant and it is. Excellent food service and atmosphere. Amuse bouche to start which were delicious followed by a small cup of tomato soup before our ordered starters which were really delicious. Our mains were both very good and the portions generous. A very tasty pear sweet to finish. Good wines at reasonable prices. I could not fault the service. Great to find another restaurant in Rye where the chef really knows how to cook and to enjoy a meal at a reasonable price for such good food. We will tell our friends and we will be back. To be recommended.

In addition to eating great, the service is super friendly, we were able to eat on the interior terrace with our dogs. Highly recommended.

Amazing lunch, with a lovely set menu to choose from. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Rye!

My lunch was excellent! Delicious food, made with skill and beautifullly presented, with surprise extra offerings from the chef of canapes and minilll soup. It couldn't have been a better meal. Thank you.

What a delightful meal. The little extras, including the Amuse Bouche, were perfect, and the Skatewing was superb. It didn't hurt that their prices, including their wine, were beyond reasonable.

My wife & l had Tasting Menu for lunch. Outstanding food (except cheese course lacked any flavour) staff very friendly & worth the money £117 inc service charge. Looking forward to trying the Al Cartè menu.

Very helpful with a rebooking due to illness, exceptional service re gluten free and overall food and wine were delicious

Thanks Lisa for looking after Bridget and I yesterday. What a great way to relax with a leisurely Sunday lunch. Photos had to be taken of the gold toilet!

I turned up with my husband as an impromptu visit - we had a lacklustre dinner elsewhere and I was excited by the dessert menu here. The staff graciously squeezed us in and I ordered the panna cotta and an espresso martini. They were both heavenly. The staff were also friendly and polite. Thank you for giving us a great end to the night!

We didn’t have a booking and came with a baby, a pushchair and dog in tow… and it was no problem at all! James accommodated my family and I with such kindness and professionalism and along with his team gave us a fantastic lunch time experience! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you James for your amazing service :) friendly staff and delicious food, what more can you ask for!

What a special dining experience! Staff were delightful and looked after us well. Extra unexpected little tasting dishes were a treat. Delicious, beautifully cooked veal for main course and the banana mousse desert was special. A great mix of bitter & sweet with different textures delighting the taste buds!

Popped in for a lunch on Sunday 19/02. We hadn’t booked, had a small well-behaved dog, and needed a quick lunch - the staff could not have been more attentive to go above & beyond. They made space to fit us in between their lunch bookings & made us feel welcome. We ordered scallops (Rye scallop week) and the food was delicious - even received a complementary amuse bouche, which was unexpected & a lovely touch. Thank you to the team!

We have just thoroughly enjoyed the scallop festival tasting menu. Compliments to the chef and the wonderful staff. The dishes were delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon, and bringing friends. As locals, this is definitely our number one place to dine in Rye. Thank you all for a great evening!

Another delicious experience. Canapés, Amuse Bouche, Seared Scallops with a kimchi salad, Turbot, panacotta for desert. Quality of food provided by very few restaurants outside of London.

Great food, impeccable service. Can't recommend it highly enough for a peaceful upscale dining experience.

Exceptional food! Beautifully presented, quality ingredients and everything just worked very well. Clearly they've got a top chef in the house. We'll be back for sure!

Fletchers House food and service was impeccable! They went out of their way to fit us in on a busy evening . Nothing was too much trouble. Have never had the glass warmed for brandy before but it did make a difference and was thoroughly enjoyed. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back .

Always such a great welcome, excellent service and a wonderful menu. We have been to Fletchers far to many times already, can’t stay away including the private room with its own bar. Just a perfect place we’re lucky to have in Rye.

Recently refurbished, this was a comfortable place to enjoy a relaxed lunch with friends. The food was good, and the 2 or 3 course set menu was good value: especially as they also give you amuses bouches, then a coffee cupful of soup before the first course arrives. I was somewhat surprised at the price of coffee: not unreasonable that this should be extra, but £5 for an espresso, with a service charge in addition, seemed over the top.

Fabulous food and professional friendly service with great ambience . Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Such a lovely place excellent food and lovely atmosphere with great service.Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Sunday Lunch. Excellent value,. Amuse Bouche, delicious home made bread were delicious. The starter and desert were first class & the Sunday roast the best I’ve had in years! The service and attention to detail was brilliant. However, personally not so keen on the decor, but super comfortable seating. We shall be back c soon & have told many friends how good it is. Fist class. Thank you!

Delicious food, great service, lovely setting. Highly recommend!

Quite simply the best restaurant in Rye in my opinion. The service from the young staff, in our case James and Amy, was very professional and attentive. The food was exceptional and head chef Matt and his sous chef deserve recognition. We’ve been twice and we’ve booked again in a couple of months. The menu is spot on. Not over elaborate, with a decent wine list at reasonable prices. If I had one minor quibble (and I mean minor) it’s that the chairs are a little low for the tables in some instances. It won’t detract from 5* though. Keep it up guys

We visited Fletcher’s House on Saturday night and had a flawless experience. From the very first steps into the restaurant we felt warmly welcomed and thoroughly looked after right up to when we left the premises! The servers were all really friendly, attentive, and helpful. The food was incredible and cooked/made to perfection. Every ingredient on the plate was there for a reason and made for a truly exceptional experience. I only wish we lived closer!!

Superb food Warm atmosphere, friendly staff Fine dining at its finest ! 10 out of 10

Exceptional food served by extremely polite and friendly staff. Faultless and professional. Well done.

Fabulous restaurant full of charm. Delicious food and great service. Spent three days in Rye and this was one of the highlights. Can’t recommend it enough!

Excellent dining experience. Nice atmosphere, excellent staff and best food I've had in years.

What a fabulous restaurant. beautifully refurbished, offering amazing food, great staff, good value and in my opinion better than many Michelin starred restaurants I've eaten in. Have the Crab and Lobster Pathivier in Cognac Sauce - exquisite

When I visited Rye, it was rainy and cold. There were not so many tourists. This restaurant was open and seemed to welcome visitors. So we had lunch there. We had typical English meals such as bangers & mash, a jacket potato, soup... foods were delicious, but I think we ordered too much for 2 of us as my family didn't realize the size of the potato. Anyway, we had a good time and it become the one of our nice memories in UK which we still talk about and laugh. Thanks for the nice homemade meal! I love the picture of lady's room door. 😊

Very friendly but cream tea was poor. Cream and jam in those disappointing tiny plastic pots

Nice and small space, feel like classic tea room

Very friendly staff good food .Well worth a vist

The best scones I have ever tasted! They are made in house - they were served warm and melted in the mouth. There are many places in Rye that serve cream teas, but having been to Fletcher’s House I would not go anywhere else.Lovely atmosphere, warm and friendly staff, and of course, an awesome cream tea

Visited on a sunny cold November Monday - we’d prebooked having read reviews and as it was my birthday trip I didn’t want to miss out! We’d planned to have the afternoon tea as lunch but were not in the mood for sweet overload so went for the Welsh rarebit instead. Fantastic. Every mouthful was sublime, savoury, mustardy- fabulous bread and ham. With just about enough salad to cut through the richness. Friend had soft drink, I had cappuccino- which under the froth was a bit disappointing. For dessert we ordered a cream tea- sharing 2 scones/cream/jam and I had the tea which was much nicer than the coffee. The scones were fantastic- I’m a foodie/cook and these were very very good. All round superb visit and we will definitely return/recommend.

Lovely tea rooms in historic settings with a good variety of choices on the menu. The staff are friendly, efficient, welcoming and nothing seems to much trouble for them. We couldn't fault our lunches and I guess many other people can't either as it gets very busy with a good mix of tourists and locals. You will probably stroll past as you explore this wonderful part of the world. We recommend you pop in for a brew and maybe something to eat. Enjoy!

I was so excited to find this little gem. I really struggle when I eat out as I'm gluten and dairy free. This lovely little place catered for these allergies and more. There where several options too. The waitress's where also wonderful and friendly. I can't wait to come back ♥

Had a warm welcome on a grey blustery day. Chose the Rye Cream Tea which came with two fruit scones, jam and clotted cream for each of us. The scones were warm from the oven, and large!! We had a lovely hour or so there and thought the quality of the food was amazing, proper homemade in their kitchen, not a factory churned out 'homemade'. Please go there if you can, and during lockdown if they do takeaway please take advantage of their wonderful fare.

Visited here for lunch with my husband and our two young children. A high chair was provided and we were offered children's portions of the sandwiches we chose. The children had a ham sandwich and a cream cheese and cucumber sandwich, both served with crisps and salad, and my husband and I had a crab sandwich and a cheese ploughmans. All were delicious. The service was friendly and the atmosphere cosy. We would definitely return.

Beautiful building, great food and friendly staff

Friendly staff, food portions more than adequate

We’d given up hope of finding warm food, on this cold wet day, it was just after 4pm and people were drifting home when we stumbled on this delightful friendly restaurant and they were still happy to feed us! We choose haddock rarebit, not to be missed and my husband had fish cakes. As somebody who’s not a chip fan we were pleased to have the most tasty waxy new potatoes. We sat there, in front of the fire with a glass of wine, they didn’t rush us, instead they were warm and friendly and insisted we take our time. Thank you chef and the lovely server who couldn’t do enough for us

Had the soup and scone combo which was bang on. Great friendly staff, good variety of food and drink on offer and good value for money. Sat near the open fire on a cool October day. Perfect

Nice surroundings, but was a little busy and packed in. Carrot cake was over-moist

What a lovely quaint place filled with history. John Fletcher, a friend of William Shakespeare. It appeared to be a family run business. The owners were lovely and friendly. If you are in Rye it's well worth a visit.

Lovely food, good service and staff attentive

We have been to Rye many times and yet never been to Fletcher’s until today. Up Lion Street and as it was a drizzly day we looked for somewhere to sit and have lunch. During the pandemic we felt socially distanced and very safe with all correct precautions in place. We were met by friendly smiles and unrushed and friendly service. Doggy friendly in the front of the restaurant which was nice for our pup and we had a doggy water bowl brought out. We had wine, tea, a bottle of ale and water. Smoked Hoddock rarebit is delicious and very light, Welsh rarebit with tomato and ham as well with a cool salad on the side and Sausages and mash all went down very well and was followed by cake! We will definitely be back when next in Rye as it is so nice to find somewhere dog friendly with great value delicious food.Thank you.Well recommended....

Visited this charming and historical restaurant whilst spendng a few hours in Rye.Ideally situated in the town, offering a good selection of food and drink, which was perfect for lunch. I particularly recommend the crab salad.Prompt and friendly service.Well worth a visit and would happily return.

We popped in here on our first day in Rye and were very pleased we did. Had butternut squash soup and the best cheese scone, partner had Welsh rarebit, food was excellent, staff were very friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend.

Popped on for lunch had the curried parship and apple soup and warm cheese scone with cream cheese and bacon. Both were excellent. Nice building good service and in these odd times felt very safe with well spaced tables.

Food is good, but very stuffy inside.

Great olde world setting in a great location. Super choice of sweet or savoury. Good staff if you wanted a mix or something different it was no problem. Recommend yes.

We managed to get a table near the door, but unfortunately it was far too crowded inside. Queueing system was a bit chaotic and was partly inside too, so made it even more crowded. Other cafes in town prevent people from entering before seats are available and have fewer tables, which is safer. Anyway, we left before ordering as we didn’t feel comfortable. Pity as is a great location.

Had a nice tea and scones very picturesque

Very nice and helpful staff food is amazing 👍👍

We stopped here for tea & cake, we both ordered the set tea. Was amazing, so tasty! Would definitely recommend

We enjoyed very tasty crab sandwiches with crisps and fresh salads. Really didn’t want the sandwich to end. Lovely little restaurant, great service and all Covid procedures followed.

Really cool old style cafe. Great service. Bit cramped, but worth the visit.

Superb cream teas, great service and Romney beer! Perfect.

visited this tea room around lunch time after town walk in Rye. No queue at all. We ordered tea set, cream tea and crab sandwiches. My two little kids finished all cakes, sandwiches, sponges within 15 minutes. I enjoyed very much the crab sandwiches. Nice atmosphere and staff were very friendly.

Lovely food and professional service. Catered for every need and really lovely front of house staff

Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff and good food. Great for a light lunch

This is the only place in Rye you should go to for afternoon tea. Cannot fault the food or the service. Simple as that

Been coming here for over 18yrs. Always pleasant service and good food. August 2020. Visited, for first time since lockdown was introduced, food was great and service, but the atmosphere was ruined by the mask wearing and asking of contact details "incase we get sick".

Been a few times, fab food well worth the money, attentive staff, but yes the old rona really spoilt it....staff walking around muzzled, utterly ridiculous and then they want your details, just spoils it!

This is a lovely place to stop for a sandwich and a cuppa. We both had Tuna mayonnaise sandwiches which were tasty. Service and ambience very good in a beautiful historic setting. Thank you.

Gorgeous old building with plenty of history. Came here as I saw they had vegan options. Opted for a vegan cream tea and it was good. Scones a bit heavy for me but still tasty. Really tasty jam. Plenty of tea!
