Green Owl in Rother

We were really looking forward to the amazing Sunday lunch sharing boards at The Owl in Camber but after seeing the special scallop menu for Rye Scallop Week, we had a taste of each of the 4 scallop dishes instead! The scallops were amazing, plump, juicy and cooked beautifully. They are perfectly in season at the moment. Lovely relaxed vibe, great service from the team and plenty of people enjoying the menu and the sunshine and very dog friendly.

As lovely as Camber Sands is, I have to admit this place is my favourite and main reason for going. Always the highlight of my stay for the food but also in particular the service is so friendly and welcoming. The best thing I can say is that it’s always a shame to leave.

Can only endorse all the 5* reviews. Fabulous pub; excellent beers; friendly & professional staff; plenty of room; dog friendly & most importantly, tip-top food. If you are expecting a normal pub Sunday lunch, look somewhere else. This is a cut above most places & worth every penny. Will definitely be walking the dog on Camber sands as an excuse to go back to The Owl.

Madeleine was incredibly kind from the moment I emailed to book for our large party for a Sunday roast today. We have accessible needs in our party and certainly probably asked far to many questions and requests! But all of the staff where so lovely, attentive and kind. The roast was unbelievable, sharing platters was such a great idea. The portions where generous and delicious. Thank you The Owl a lovely pub, highly recommend.

Had the most delicious roast lunch! Everything was perfect! The staff were so friendly! Would definitely recommend

WOW! What a find, our first trip back to Camber for many years, we came across this lovely little pub by chance and we were not disappointed. We went for an early evening meal on Saturday ( booking advised as it's very popular) the food was truly amazing, the staff were all so friendly and accommodating, the pub is so cosy and had a great atmosphere. We would certainly recommend that you visit this little gem as we will the next time we visit Camber.

Best Pub Sunday Roast lunch I have had in a long time and staff were lovely and friendly. Really good quality meat well cooked.

It is probably the last good weather day of the year and a good walk on Cambersands followed by a good pub lunch at the Owl, was the plan. Lovely warm welcome by some lovely ladies. They serve a local cider called Curious Apple (which I fell in love with last year, like Aspell but more Appley) which I highly recommend, Mrs V had Whitney Neil blood orange gin, served nicely with dried orange slice and Slim line Tonic. We ordered our food..... Mrs V had the Mussels... better than the ones she had in France!! Served with beautiful faccacia bread and fries. I had the Sirloin..... Probably the best Sirloin steak I have ever had. Served with roasted little gem lettuce and roast baby potatoes. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I highly recommend this jewel of a pub. The local food and the quality of the food is reflected in the price and definitely worth it. Cannot wait until my next visit, hopefully not too far away.

What to say..... just delious Stopped in on way from beach Beautiful place Tasty menu Will definitely come again and book next time

Lovely ambience. The lady serving us was so warm, friendly and welcoming. Nice place to take out dear pets. Food was nice. Would love to visit again .

Once again the food was amazing. Always difficult to choose from the specials and menu. The five of us enjoyed flavourful and generous portioned starters and main meals. Service was great and staff really friendly. Highly recommend.

These guys are excellent at what they do. The service and quality is amazing. We are big foodies from London. And for 2 nights in a row we were so impressed by the menu, the quality, and the portions. You guys deserve to do so well. Thanks for looking after us and our slightly nervous dog. The flavours are beautiful. Thanks chef. X

Really outstanding - exceptionally good food, beautifully presented. Nice welcome as well. Top marks.

Amazing Customer Service, Matched with great food. Lovely experience in a beautiful setting. The garden area is beautiful right next to the sea, and the whole restaurant has a seaside feel, with a refreshing high class experience to compliment.

The Owl is a must-visit pub / restaurant just a short drive from the famous port of Rye. An amazing location close to the renowned Camber Sands…….great food, a friendly and attentive team and one of the most relaxing places to while away some time. Thanks so much for looking after us last Sunday…..we had such a wonderful lunch and look forward to visiting again soon. Best wishes. Neal and Belinda

Fabulous place for a great, carefully thought out meal. Went three times while staying in Camber and thoroughly enjoyed the lighter bites tapas style selection, the fish and chips and the burger. Lots of great flavours - will definitely be going back.

We visited The Owl several times during our weekend in Camber. Fantastic food and drink options (we are both vegetarian and there was plenty to choose from), super dog friendly, and wonderful friendly service! We planned to try a few places but found ourselves always coming back to The Owl. A lovely lunch or dinner time spot after spending the morning/afternoon on the dunes.

We live locally and The Owl is one of our favourite places. Just next to the glorious beaches and sand dunes, it's a welcoming venue with excellent food and a lovely atmosphere. We are regular diners and winers there.

Dog friendly resto with great service on Sunday lunchtime. The food: fish and chips, and a steak. Nicely cooked and good value. The service was friendly and very helpful. We will definitely go back.

Booked for a late Sunday lunch when we were visiting Camber for a seaside break. Had the perfect long, leisurely lunch on a slightly overcast, drizzly day. The owner was very accommodating about letting us choose our table and we ended up with a mini...

We came for a meal on Friday evening- without booking, and they were happy to accommodate us and our dog. We had the fish and chips, the vegan fish and chips and the mussels and they were all brilliant! Great menu and service, we will...

The service was delivered with a smile and, the food was excellent. Would I recommend this eatery? Absolutely! Well done to the crew at the Owl. It's a shame it's not closer to Hertfordshire as I would love to make a visit on a regular...

Lovely pub with excellent food. They allowed our dog to sit with us. The service from the waitress was fantastic. Great place to eat in Camber.

Terrible service. The staff were rude and unfriendly. They 'can't seat young children or prams' inside or about apparently.

Bang Bang Cauliflower with Beetroot and Tomato Salad was listed as a ‘Small Plate’ when actually it was a small starter. The ‘Beetroot and Tomato Salad’ was a garnish. Shame because we drove some distance to try it out based on other reviews.

We popped in as we were passing on the bike. Spot of lunch before hitting the beach. Absolutely delicious food, excellent and timely service- a complete but welcome surprise! Would definitely recommend.

Booked in advance as visiting for the weekend, very helpful and accommodating. Friendly hosts in the busy pub. We all chose roast beef dinner which arrived on a board well presented, plenty for 3 and very tasty. Fully recommend. Thank you

Lovely lunch here. Fresh local food and brilliant service and staff. Very welcoming and warm. The owners were especially gracious. Very friendly and easy.

The food is excellent here. So much so we had evening dinner and Sunday lunch the next day. Oysters were excellent and fresh and Sunday roast was amazing. Lovely helpful staff and fairly priced also. Will definitely return. Thank you 👍

Such a gem of a find amidst so many places which just smelt of deep fat fryers! Super fresh food, fantastic service and lovely hosts. We came back for lunch the following day and had the roast lunches which were amazing. Adult friendly (no under...

Great location, directly opposite the beach. Food was top notch and very friendly, will definitely be visiting again.

We decided to visit The Owl as it was ranked No1 in the Camber Sands area with fabulous reviews. I was shocked to find The Owl was a most unwelcoming place to visit. I’m not sure if I was offended more by being blatantly ignored...

Went in for a drink to be barked at as we entered ‘do you have children’ No hello, nothing. We are in our 60s so don’t have young children! Following day we went in for an early evening drink before attending a local party. As...

The owl not only has delicious food and a great selection of drinks, they are so welcoming! We had our new puppy with us who was only just experiencing restaurants and general the outside world. The staff at the owl could not have been more...

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch at the Owl. Unusually, they offered a fish roast option that was really tasty. Recommend and ideally placed for a pre or post dinner walk on the beach!

Great service and fantastic food - they never let us down! Madeline, Peter and the team are always very welcoming, the food is always 5 stars and the atmosphere relaxed! Dogs are welcomed with a bowl of water and biscuits. The location is perfect, just...

The food and service here is absolutely exceptional. A great menu, fabulous options, generous portions and lovely staff who make you feel welcome.

What delicious food! All of us argued about who had the best tasting meal because they were so delicious. Absolute treat in camber.

Came here with some friends for the first time, could not fault a single dish food was amazing and service was amazing

I visited last weekend with two friends and our 3 children. We were a little worried before, as it didn’t seem very welcoming to kids on the website, but as soon as we walked in they were so friendly and no problems about the kids...

Had two lovely meals on consecutive days, a very welcoming pub and so dog friendly, felt very relaxed. Food was incredible especially the roast lamb, best we’ve ever had! Topped off with great service! Thank you

We stayed in Camber for the weekend, and visited this pub several times for lunch, evening meal, drinks and Sunday roast. All the food we had was excellent and the service was also great. Us, and our dog, were warmly welcomed. Would definitely recommend.

Walked into the bar and was greeted by a friendly lady with a big smile who suggested a seat by the window as the sun was beaming in, we asked the barman for a couple of pints of cider, he recommended the Curious cider which...

As a table of 10, celebrating a birthday, we were all so pleased by the amazing food and service we received by The Owl staff. Attentive, diligent and warming just a few words to describe our visit. Food as already mentioned was beautiful - a...

A gorgeous pub, minutes away from the beach. Was really excited to come here as had seen great reviews on trip advisor. First things first, the staff were lovely and very helpful - it was the overpriced underwhelming food that was the issue. We started...

6 adults and 6 children, amazing meal after a walk on the beach. Very welcoming and super food. Manager was very accommodating and the food was delicious. We will definitely return. Guinness was lovely too :)

Went to the Owl expecting a simple pub meal, what we got was a real cut above that, food was delicious. Fish and chips were cooked to perfection and I had a pea and ham veloute as a starter which was sublime. Added bonus was...

My husband and son-in-law visited this pub in the early afternoon and had a great experience on Boxing Day, so much so that they wanted to share their experience with the rest of the family. At the time, the pub was practically empty; therefore, they...

Staying nearby over Christmas this is the only local pub. But what an excellent pub! The menu has an amazing range of Fruit de Mer dishes (lobster, oyster, cockles) as well as a wide range of a la carte other dishes. Excellent wines and a...

We had great over night stay at the Owl in Camber .We had a really wonderful meal on the Saturday evening , with great service and staff and such a warm, welcoming and cosy pub. The rooms were comfy ,clean with robes, generous amount of...

The boeuf bourgingone was utterly divine. It's not cheap at 30 quid but the beef was scorching good quality and there was masses of it. Hearty and warming on a chilly early autumn evening and it was clear the wine used in the pot was...

Had an evening meal Friday and lunch on Sunday. A very warm welcome all the staff were brilliant as was the food.

A sunny and warm Saturday on October 9th so we decided to eat outside for lunch as though we were abroad. They say Owls are wise and this day we were. To get into a Mediterranean feel we chose 5 dishes from their light bites....

We were recently staying nearby and popped in for a few pints and some food. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and the food was extremely good. We had oysters which were very fresh followed by monkfish which was cooked...

Two visits here within a week with great food both times and some incredible deserts! Good service, peaceful environment and dog friendly too which made for relaxed, enjoyable evenings.

New menu since our last visit, and we had the couple's sharing roast, which is displayed on a wooden chopping board with warm plates to serve yourself. We asked for rare beef and that's what we got, delicious.

Visited on Sunday with my husband and wasn't disappointed. We had the Sunday Roast to share and also the dessert to share and I have to say it was wonderful. We have visited The Owl before and although the previous visits have been extremely good...

Had a really lovely Sunday roast, new sharing platter is fab. Great quality food and looked after really well by the Owl team. Lovely, relaxing Sunday afternoon.

After being recommended this pub by our neighbour, myself, my son, my boyfriend and his mum decided to take stroll there on Sunday for lunch. Arrived to be told at the door that they do not allow children under 5. I was really shocked by...

Superb all round Cicil & Hugh were absolutely superb...her service was top notch Food amazing...service from the owners above & beyond 2 visits over our 2 nights stay and will be back tomorrow before I drive home to Surrey

Uniformly delicious food, attentive and friendly staff. The only problem was we had no room for pudding! Great variety of starters and mains to choose from. Our starters were excellent, although the gambas pil pil, could have done with being accompanied by some bread. Chosen...

I can’t comment on the food as we left before having anything to eat or drink due to the most appalling customer service I’ve ever received. We booked a table and arrived after having to pay £7.50 at the public car park as the pub...

We stayed in a local Airbnb for 2 nights about 5 mins walk from the Owl. I checked the menu and reviews before booking both nights. The menu is varied and the food imaginative and very tasty. With a good wine list. The couple who...

Went with my mrs yesterday, the food was beautiful, the staff treated us really well and the atmosphere was chilled & friendly. Their service was spot on, loved the oysters too , definitely booking again when we’re down that way

I was staying here on my own as it is conveniently located for weddings held at the gallivant around the corner. Upon arrival I was greeted by a very friendly welcome from Peter, who checked me in, and gave me a tour of the pub/hotel...

Unfriendly and terrible policy of not letting kids in the pub later than 6:30pm - even for 11 year old kids. When asked about reservations with families so with kids even 11 years old, latest time offered was 6:30pm. This is not a Michelin star...

So we went along this evening for a lovely meal. I had the monkfish and my granddaughters had burger. We look my 6 month old puppy who was very welcome and given treats and water. Would thoroughly recommend. The desserts were pretty good too!!

Great restaurant, good food and friendly staff. You will need to book ahead as it is very popular. Certainly worth a visit.

We had read good reviews of The Owl and decided to treat ourselves to lunch here during a 4 day break in early July. We had our dog with us and she was immediately provided with a bowl of water and a biscuit. We were...

Amazing dinner from start to finish! Staff where very friendly and welcoming, great service and the food was DELICIOUS! highly recommend can not fault it at all

We stayed at The Owl as we were attending a wedding at the very nearby Gallivant Hotel and we selected it primarily because of its close proximity. However we are so glad we did, as the food and “home from home” experience far exceeded our...

we got a friendly welcome to this pub and they gave us an exceelent table for our greyhound to lie next too. food was very interesting and the starter of lambs kidneys in mustard sauce was one of the highlights of the food on our...

This is a pub where the chef can really cook and the front of house staff are wonderful. We had oysters and tempura fish to start. Both were excellent - the oysters lovely and fresh and creamy while the tempura included sardine. Then we had...

Amazing food, lovely staff and such a warm and welcoming restaurant! The perfect spot in Camber and a must visit for anyone on holiday there.

Pleasant outdoor seating, nice range of dishes served by charming staff. Disappointing cider. Proximity to road wasn't a problem on our midweek June visit.

The owner/landlord initially seemed concerned about us bringing our small Shih Tzu dog, Marley, into the restaurant in a buggy. Marley is recovering from a knee operation. Children are not allowed inside the pub in buggies and that was the issue. Once accepted, we were...

This food was the finest food we as a group of friends has tasted in many a year.There was not one plate that had not been cleared of its food. Amazing food made by amazing people, then served by amazing front of staff. A wonderful...

Good food, good staff. Dog friendly pub. (Not that we had a dog!).. Selection of local and international beers. Good seafood.

I love Camber Sands and was delighted 6 years ago in finding this pub by the sea - especially since it is advertised as "dog friendly". The staff are lovely and they are nice to the dogs, however the ?owner or ?manager is a bit...

We had been advised to book in advance and given that the Owl was packed when we both arrived and left, we can see why! Staff were very friendly. Food universally delicious - calamari starter and the fish and chips were particularly good.

A lovely friendly pub that also serves very good food, I deal if you are staying for a few days break. Would recommend if you are staying with another member of family aslo dogs are more than welcome.

I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed both the customer service and the food at the owl. We were a large group and the service was fantastic. But the food was the real star! It was adventurous and beautifully presented. Try the gnocchi !!...

Stayed here for a birthday treat for 1 night, waking up here on my birthday. The owners Madeleine and Peter are really lovely, you want them for friends, warm, and kind, nothing too much trouble. The room was a snug twin, comfortable beds. The bathroom...

Had a wonderful lunch, food was delicious, well cooked and generous portions. Great choice of options. Friendly efficient service. Dog friendly and a stones throw from the beach. Well worth a visit.

Oh my word, I can't wait to tell you how fab this place is! From the outset, the staff went out of their way to be helpful - we'd booked for 9 people so were seated in the back room, which was quite dark -...

This pub is in a lovely little spot. My husband and I stopped in for a glass of rose in the sunshine whilst on our beach walk. We then went back for dinner and had the lamb special, moules frites, delicious chocolate pudding and the...

Friendly welcoming pub with small car park at the back. We had the cod and chips and moules frites, good sized portions and well cooked. We did plan to visit the following day to try the Moroccan Lamb pie but unfortunately were too bushwhacked. Will...

Friendly staff greeted us for our Sunday lunch at The Owl; they have a no under 5’s policy and with our children, we were seated in the family area. We ordered roasts (choice of lamb, pork, poussin or beef) though surprisingly, the children’s roast menu...

Here on a weeks holiday , was recommend The Owl . Decided on Sunday Lunch i had Lamb and my husband had beef , just delicious. On the Wednesday our friends came with us again to The Owl. We shared a Mussels starter between 4...

Title says it all! When we are fortunate enough to visit Rye for a long weekend or for a holiday we always book The Owl and we have been doing this for over a decade. The food, service, hospitality is the best we have ever...

The food and customer service is excellent. We were seated in the Conservatory or ‘Look Out’ and were diligently looked after. The fish and chips are second to none and the short rib rich and filling Desserts are winners and hit the spot. They are...

Such a shame as looks like a decent place but our party (4 adults, one baby) were sent away. Hope this saves someone else some time.

First class traditional pub. Great ales and lagers but above all a first class wine list which includes English wines. Sunday lunch is unbeatable for presentation, quality and quantity. Just unbeatable.see Be wise and sensible, book a table

Really lovely experience. Good veggie options. Well impressed with the food and service. The food was well cooked and prompt. Highly recommend the hot scotch egg & the mussels. Extremely dog friendly!

We booked a table earlier the same day by phone. I was asked very nicely the age of my children at the time of booking. (they are both over 5 years old) Staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was very very good quality....

Food was amazing and delicious - loved the variety of choice. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely the best restaurant we visited on our holiday (and we went to a few in Ryde). It was the first time we had taken our dog to a...

Turned up for dinner (despite so many terrible ratings on Trip Advisor) with our 18month boy. Manager was so rude when telling us we couldnt come in as we had an under 5. Place was very quiet. After being so rude i told him how...

If you are hoping to visit The Owl with children under 5 please do not try! Dogs are allowed however. No where on the website is this stated but like many people with young children, we were also disappointed when trying to book a family...

Great find! We were a huge table but nothing was too much trouble. The service was really excellent and super friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely dinner at the owl. We were due to go with friends but sadly one had COVID, so we dined alone. We were not disappointed. The oysters were delicious and so was the salt and pepper squid and to finish, I had the...
