Fletchers House in Rother

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

Great food. Great friendly staff.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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 .

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!

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.

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....

Lovely food, good service and staff attentive

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.

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.

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

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!

Spent two days in Rye and had cream tea twice here. The scones were to die for, all the cakes are delicious (must try the red velvet!) And the sandwiches were very tasty. We booked a table luckily as the place was full. Impeccable service with a smile behind the mask, they are well set up and respect the COVID19 measures to maintain safety. Despite that, this beautiful tea house does not lose its charm. Cannot recommend enough! We will be back for sure on our next visit!

Went there yesterday with friends and 3 pugs sat out in the back garden Staff were absolutely amazing well spoke really polite and helpful I chose the Welsh Rarebit and wasn’t disappointed it was the best I’ve ever had better than what I had in Fortnum& Mason’s Restaurant some time ago I had to compliment the kitchen everyone else was well pleased ham salad a delight tasty home cooked ham cannot fault this place will def go again so welcoming

Post lockdown review. Brilliant as always. Take away coffee and cake only but couldn’t have been more helpful and I’ve so missed my soya milk latte in the last 16 weeks. Coffee and walnut cake was excellent. All staff are very helpful. All COVID 19 procedures being followed. The owner Pete is a sweetie. Happy to recommend.

Lovely little place, right beside St Mary's church. Staff were pleasant, attentive and polite. Service was good and quick. Would recommend Food was nice; a decent, varied menu. And plenty of yummy desserts, including treacle tart! The interior was very nice: comfortable and homely. They even have a rotary display for their puddings. If you're in Rye, check them out.

I visited this cafe today and it’s a real shame that my experience here was ruined by a single encounter with a staff member who appeared to either be a manager or the owner. I have recently had my first child who was with me and I needed to change him. I went upstairs to the ladies without him first to check whether there were baby change facilities and I couldn’t see any but I noticed a large storage room next to the ladies with an empty table so I thought I would change him there to avoid using the tables downstairs where people are eating. Mid way through me changing my baby this man came to tell me in a harsh tone that there was baby change in the corridor and that this room was ‘out of bounds’. He then preceded to stand there and he seemed to be waiting for me to move my baby to the baby change when I was already half way through changing him. Since the baby change was in the corridor I had not noticed it and of course I would have used it had I known it was there. Anyway, I decided to just finish changing my baby where I was as it would be very difficult for me to move my half naked baby and the changing bag and all the wipes and nappy bag over to the baby change and as my baby was crying, this man was making a stressful situation even more stressful for me by standing there making me feel under pressure and not offering to help at all. I really feel he should have been more kind. Experiences like this in public can put new mothers off from going out of the house, luckily I’m not one who will allow myself to be intimidated so this experience will not deter me from getting out and about with my baby but I won’t be coming back here. It says on their website that they are friendly- most of the staff certainly were, the food and drink seemed nice and the decor of the place was lovely but it’s a shame about this one individual.

Delicious veggie patties. Quaint building in a good location in Rye. Staff were friendly.

Great tea rooms, quaint has a very old feel and a large choice of both hot and cold food , would recommend 👍🏻

Stumbled upon this when looking for somewhere for lunch and very glad we decided to try it. Very good attentive and efficient young staff. Food excellent, with a huge choice, (difficult decisions!) very cosy and dog friendly. Well worth a visit.

Have a very tasty tomato and crab soup with a cheese scone .. friendly staff and warm fire

The scones served with tea were excellent. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly.

Lovely soup, ideal for Veganuary. Very busy so good idea to book if visiting at the weekend. Very cosy.

Lovely food and friendly staff, very cosy.

We stopped by after a lovely walk, and were rudely told that we needed to leave unless we ordered more food as people were waiting, despite there being no que. I would've hoped that a more welcoming environment would have been created, it put me off ordering cake and tea which we had intended to do but had just finished eating our main! We will definitely not be returning. Food was overpriced and was not the best we've had in Rye.

Traditional and quaint olde worlde teashop with an extensive menu, of which I can especially recommend the coronation chicken and bacon sandwiches.

Excellent choice, warm welcome, dog friendly. Oh, and the fascinating history of this restaurant makes it unique!

Fantastic tea room. A quintessentially "English" experience with Apple Crumble and Earl Grey by the bucket-load. The ancient building is incredible, and feels like it's straight out of a Dickens novel (despite being much much older (Tudor, I think)). The food was lovely and the service was friendly, despite being a busy-busy day. I've knocked a star off the rating due to it feeling overcrowded when full, but I'd still go back.
