We went to the restaurant on New Year’s Day in storm and rain, without a booking and found the place fully packed. We could have turned down and certainly would have in other places, but we were served in a kind, friendly and helpful manner that I can’t recall having experienced before. The menu then was exceptional too, and each of our group of five was pleased with their chosen food. Thank you too a fantastic team and the young man going even the „extra mile“ after we‘d left ! The Perch will definitely be my place I’m going to with visitors in future (pre-booking of course!) UPDATE FEBRUARY 2025: We went to The Perch Café with another bunch of visitors and again we were impressed by the outstanding service and the constant quality of the food throughout the menu. Definitely my place to take my visitors.

Arrived as a table of 8 without booking for coffee and although very busy, the staff found us a table in the corner and couldn't have been more accommodating. The coffee was lovely and the kids loved the Ultimate Hot Chocolate! Great view across the lake.

Went for specifically for the late Sunday sharing roast (4pm till 7pm). The sharing roast platter is ideal if one doesn't eat as much as the other, say. The platter is generous(3 meat and all the trimmings). Nicely cooked and served perfect temperature. Atmosphere is lovely and respectable with ambient tunes playing and bustling with couples and large along with nice staff with dispositions.Surrounding s of course, lovely with outlooks over the lake. Priced at 17 pounds pp plus leftover takeaways makes it very a reasonable Sunday lunch.Oh, and the Perch does a vegetarian Wellington option platter. So, we would genuinely recommend it!

Updated Review After our last below par visit 11 months ago for a sharing roast, we thought we’d give it another go. What a contrast. The young man who served was polite and efficient and the roast was perfect. Fluffy roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, with cheese. Crispy but fluffy Yorkshires. Edible stuffing. Perfectly cooked medium/medium rare beef, juicy roast chicken and tasty ham. Great veg and gravy.Pigs in blanket on another level. Plenty of food for two. What was not to like. My 3* has now as should be gone back up to 5* Well done guys, we’ll be back Photo from this visit Previous Review Sharing Roast- We’ve visited many times and had a great experience with great food. BUT today what went wrong? We were phoned to see if we wanted to come in earlier 5pm as they were quiet, so we went an hour earlier, the restaurant had 3 large family parties who were just finishing their mains. Once seated it took a while before drinks orders were taken we had to order our food even though not asked by the young man. When our food did arrive it was pretty disappointing. The cauliflower cheese was waterlogged (no cheese sauce) the roast potatoes had been cooked for so long they had dried out to practically nothing inside, the Yorkshire pudding was hard and cold and stuffing solid rubber. On a good note the beef was perfect and chicken moist. We had the sharing crumble which we were told was apple and blackberry but what came was the thinnest layer of berry compote with barely cooked crumble on top. Considering it wasn’t busy the staff spent more time chatting than looking after their guest. Couples were waiting for a while to be seated before being noticed. One even left. If we had come an hour later as planned how dry would the food been then. Yes we should have complained at the time, maybe we would have if a staff member had come back and asked if everything was ok?!

Looking for a dog friendly, accessible chilled out cafe on a day trip to Eastbourne and we found The Perch Café in Princes Park. What a marvellous find! The cafe is spacious with super views over the lake, the atmosphere very relaxed and staff friendly and helpful. Food portions are generous - we had the Monty and Bacon Baps with cappuccinos and a pot of tea, and who can resist a good fish-finger Bap?! The Perch was busier than usual (according to Google) but service nevertheless was good. All-in-all, definitely recommended and would come back again!

Ordered the fried chicken and bacon waffles that came with a huge stack of soft fluffy waffles drenched in syrup, a big chunk of crispy korean fried chicken and 3 crunchy rashers of super smoky bacon. Definitely was upset that I didn't manage to finish it because of the generous portion size, but it was an absolutely fantastic combination. Also ordered the basket of hash brown bites and the servers were super nice when I asked for the hot honey as the sauce from a different dish but they were happy to oblige my want to combine the sweet salt and spice which is my definite recommendation. Overall, for a first visit, I came in expecting a decent meal and had my expectations thoroughly blown out of the water.

This morning, myself and 12 members of my family, went for a pre booked breakfast at The Perch. Communication, service, food and experience was impeccable from start to finish. Kate dealt with my initial booking and accepted the many changes up until the day before without question. Total professionalism. On arrival we ordered drinks and then, when all were seated, our breakfasts were brought out piping hot. Delicious food and gluten free dishes were checked and cooked separately. Could not fault anything. Staff super friendly, nothing was a problem and happy to help. It was the perfect experience and i cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to everyone at The Perch.

Nice table. Long wait (40 minutes) - for food to arrive, When it came, the chorizo / egg hash (4 out of our 6 meals) were served in cold bowls. Actual food itself was therefore tepid, verging on cold. We had waited so long we didn’t send the meals back for another wait! Chef disagreed with our complaint. Well, what can we say to that……. Chips served with the other dishes weren’t fresh, as clearly they had been under a heat lamp for too long. Shame.

Even though we spent over £60 for a meal I was gob smacked when they said they needed the table for other guests arriving for the next sitting. Look out for the long haired blond who had a face like a wet weekend. Other staff were most helpful and happy. I may go back but I won't be rushing because of the above. BIG Parking just outside is closed off from the main road. You don't make it easy to sell your business. Shame really.

Nice place, nice location and good choice on the menu. Unfortunately, and not for the first time, service is poor. I chose to sit outside but had to remind the staff to make the coffee and bring it out. Seems that drinks-to-go gets priority. Not enough cups because no one bothers to clear the outside tables. It's a real shame, I'd love to recommend it...but I can't.

Visited in may as a couple and had the sharing roast and crumble dessert, we liked that it overlooked the lake. There was faeces smeared on the toilet floor which I spoke to the manager about on the day. However.....we booked with Katy the manager back in June 24 for a vow renewal breakfast for 50..... Worth £1000's. Was a bit of a nightmare getting through emails and messaging but after visiting the cafe 3 times in person, It was sorted and we were assured it was booked. (Shown in their bookings book) After following up in September 24 we have been told that the manager has now left and that our party has not been officially booked, and that they can't accommodate the times agreed and the price quote will now go up. We have sent invites out and dj was was booked who had liaised with the cafe. Thank goodness we followed up and have time to find alternative event space. We now need to reissue new invites at a additional cost to ourselves and lost a DJ deposit. I would not hold any trust in perch group for the future. We can't find Andrew Coombes email to complain to directly. Avoid the perch group in East Sussex

We visited for lunch before taking part in an event, the food came out and it was very hit and miss, two meals were missing the items stated on the menu, when queried were told they had run out of one and the other had been missed. The plates were taken to add the missing item and put back on the table. Fore pots of tea were order and one came out cold. When as for a hot one they said they could not do it so have something else. A chocolate brownie was order and that came out burnt. The staff were very dismissive and really did not care.

Really disappointed. Shortly after arriving, a member of staff who I assume may have been the manager came over accusing us of being a couple who had been in recently and not paid the bill. She explained we looked just like them. I was pretty taken back and explained that this wasn’t us, but appreciated how frustrating this would be to happen to a business. Still, she didn’t let it go and kept questioning, an uncomfortable situation and we certainly did not feel welcome. Really strange customer service from this particular woman, won’t be rushing back. Edit- yes my review is for your business. A member of your staff confronted me as I explained above. I can’t remember the exact date we visited which is probably why you can’t see anything on the CCTV.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere which is very family friendly, the view adds to the experience. Has really good vegan options and some new meat options like Korean fried chicken & bacon on waffles which was really tasty. Reasonably priced for the quality and portion size. 2 adult meals, 3 drinks, 1 side and a child's meal at £50, considering the whole package view, food and service this was well worth it!

Food - presentation was good but the food doesn’t made well. I’ve order avocado toasts with poached eggs and bacons. First toasts are just slightly toast bread still soft, poached eggs I only can taste vinegar I don’t know how much vinegar they cook with it and last bacons not crispy. All those ingredients are super simple and easy to cook. They just couldn’t handle it. Coffee I would say not a nice coffee. Service - Staff are not very friendly especially you didn’t book a table. Atmosphere - Nothing special if you’re not sitting in the window area.

Popped over for a quick breakfast when I couldn't be bothered to cook! Been here loads of times and, whilst the costs are sneaking up to eat out these days, the food is still worth it and the vegan options are still some of the best in town. REALLy enjoyed the vegan breakfast and the service was on point

Stopped here for breakfast/brunch. Pleasant inside area and lovely chatty staff. We ordered various breakfast combinations on avocado sourdough. All freshly cooked snd poached eggs were runny - always a bonus! Quite substantial portions, so come hungry. Overall a very good breakfast.

Worst service ever in my life. Plenty of empty tables but tried not to seat us wanting us to queue at the counter. We insisted on a table whereupon the wait person made us wait a very long time before she took our order and even longer before the beverages turned up. We watched this woman steer another family away from the seating area as well. Seems very strange behavior for a cafe to be turning down business when most tables are empty. My latte is also pretty bad so I would never return to this place

Had a lovely 3 days, two nights stay at the Hydro Hotel and would definitely come back. No matter who I encountered during my visit from the housekeeper, reception staff, restaurant and bar, everyone were charming, helpful and super polite. Excellent meals and very large portions. Perhaps a better variety of cheese platters as both night were a disappointment and would have liked some soft and more creamy cheese. Beautiful surroundings. Probably a room with sea view would be advisable to enjoy fully a perfect stay.

Do not confuse this cafe with OLD TOWN CAFE which is about 100yds west in Church St. A cafe but with training facilities for disabled adults.

I have previously resided in Eastbourne, and this is my first time returning. I have always enjoyed dining at Qualisea, which is why I decided to invite my friends to experience it with me. Upon arrival, we were informed that it was a particularly busy day, and as such, we were unable to share a large portion of cod and chips. We understood the situation and ordered one portion each for the six of us. However, I noticed that another table was allowed to share a single large portion between two customers. While this discrepancy did not significantly impact our visit, it was worth mentioning. Additionally, one set of cutlery at our table appeared to have been previously used. We brought this to the attention of one of the waitstaff, an elderly lady, who seemed surprised but promptly replaced the cutlery. However, I remain curious as to how used cutlery ended up on our table. The overall atmosphere was not as welcoming as I had experienced during my previous visits two years ago when I lived in Eastbourne. My friends and I felt somewhat rushed, as the staff began clearing our plates while we had not yet finished our meals. We hope for more attentive and accommodating service in the future. Furthermore, we couldn't help but feel that there may have been an element of discrimination, as we are not white. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall experience was marred by an unwelcoming atmosphere. Due to this, I will no longer recommend Qualisea to my friends in the future.
