Service not what I expected I went to the bar for a second coffee and was handed the cup with no saucer or request if I wanted sugar.thevpuzza was amazing although the wait wad a long time

Food and service was of good quality and Muumy Elf who served us in table 33 on 24/11/2024 was fabulous

I enjoyed a simple vegan burger and chips meal tonight, washed down with a tasty pint. It was tasty and appreciated. But the best thing about the evening was your employee Grace who was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. She is a credit to your company. Thank you Jimmy

Thank you Saltdean Tavern for the lovely festive meal for 28 of us today. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The staff were so helpful you all work very hard.

Ok so l have never posted anything like this before..... This morning my partner and I experienced complete and total homophobia and racism from The Saltdean Tavern. Instantly when we walked in, we were given the look of disgust. Blatantly ignored by some woman with brown hair and blonde highlights by the name of Shai or Shaina. Yet when an older WHITE English man came in, she became completely attentive and assisted him instantly with a smile We asked if everything was okay, but she ignored us completely. Avoiding eye contact with us. We asked for the manager, who was totally not prepared to handle the situation. We asked for the name of the employee, but she denied giving it to us. This was entirely a racist and/or homophobic situation and I will not allow this to be swept under the rug.

Great lunch food served quickly and piping hot! Carver charlie was really helpful!! Will return again

Ordering from the bar all good. Had carvery not all meats were available, some veggies were low. All hot and well presented, some sauces not replenished. Overall enjoyed my meal.

Come regularly great food and atmosphere better than the school dinners carvery in p/haven

Grace was absolutely lovely, really friendly and personable, food was delish, just what you want, would definitely come back!

Amazing food, our servers Grace and Bailey were lovely 10/10 service!!

Great service, Grace was very helpful and friendly and really sweet. Food was good, you get what you pay for. Decent budget meal.

Our waitress was Grace and she was very friendly and attentive. For the price of £6 we had a very tasty roast dinner brilliant value for money.

Great service. Grace was lovely. She was very sweet and helpful and really friendly. Food was good, you get what you pay for.

My wife and I popped out for a £6 carvery, with a special voucher, on Bonfire Night. Lovely meal, with great service from Grace.

Stopped here for a lovely carvery on fireworks night before going to watch them. The warm welcome we received was excellent from trinity who got us seated and told us how it all works. We then ordered food and drinks from our server Grace who looked after us very very well whilst we ate and made sure she helped us with drinks and extra food we ordered on top of the carvery and made sure we enjoyed our meal and everything was ok in a super friendly nice way. I rarely eat at Stonehouse as the last two local ones I ate I’d never ever rush back too but the food here was much better cooked than the other ones and we’d defiantly return. All in all 10/10 from Grace, trinity and a great carvery chef.

The staff are extremely, efficient professional and friendly. Grace often serves me, her customer service is outstanding!

We enjoyed a quiet Monday evening meal and drink with friends. Grace was very helpful and attentive.

Friendly, helpful and efficient service. Carvery food tasty enough but a bit dried out at the in between time we visited (4pm). Will be back.

Great atmosphere great food and value . Have visited at different times of year and always enjoyed food and drinks here . Staff always friendly and very helpful too . All family enjoy it here . Table for 4 or 8 no problem . Thank you .

Ordered food this evening dry and awful service shocking cutlery dirty left did not even eat it

Really great food, super tasty and the staff were so lovely and helpful! They couldn’t have done more for us. Big thanks to Grace and all the staff!

Great place, busy, efficient staff, nice food!

Great service by some lovely people. Excellent carvery.

AVOID.. Absolutely shocking. Waited for 15 minutes for somebody to serve us after paying. Queue of people.staff milling about doing what seemed to be very little.woman who took order went in out kitchen smirking. Very rude manner. Eventually gave up hope and got money back at bar. Deserves minus stars. Also noticed how extremely FILTHY it was. AVOID

AVOID… shockingly bad. Rude, mentally vacant staff. Bereft of any customer skills once they have taken your money. Noticed how dirty and tired it is. Borderline squaler.

Good value food and the staff are really attentive and helpful!

Excellent service from Grace she is incredibly helpful polite and an absolute joy to be served by. Keep up the good work Grace

Went for a big family get together here there was a great range of food and drinks available the staff were amazing friendly and very helpful kids were happy with the toys from the ball machines and adults satisfied with everything else highly recommended

The staff were helpful and courteous and the food was good

Good place to get a decent meal at a reasonable price, lots of choice on the menu, clean and tidy

I love going to this restaurant. Food always good.

Gracie was a wonderful waitress for us this evening , very accomodating and knowledgable about the confusing parking system! Knew her wine well , we will DEFINITELY return another time. Beautiful meals!

Lovely carvery and evening with family

I used to love the saltdean tavern it's really gone downhill since I was a kid I came with my partner about 2 months ago for a breakfast thr toast was cold and burnt, sausages were burnt just wasn't a great meal! We thought we would give it another try but this time we came for a roast dinner and safe to say I will be finding somewhere els to eat from now on staff when we arrived here moody and unhappy chef was unhappy and didn't Evan smile, was only carrots and peas for the vegetables that isn't a roast! The potatoes were vile and tasted frozen and rubbery so we didn't eat them thr only thing that tasted gorgeous was the gammon meat it was beautiful I usually don't leave bad reviews but was really disappointed with this service

Close to the seafront and big enough to meet groups of friends.

Really lovely meal with kids, great service (Grace). Very good value & welcoming atmosphere

Food was great, excellent value and our waitress, Grace, was very attentive and friendly.

Lovely food and staff. Just a shame the app don't work properly when we were there but other wise it was good. And a shame some of the pudding were out of stock but other wise was ok

Grace was so lovely and approachable. Always love my weekend breakfast in the tavern

Service from Grace was excellent!

Enjoyed our family carvery, Jasmin was our server doing a great job, very attentive, she was working on her own mostly, so we had to clear our table before sitting, but for the price overall a nice experience. We had to ask for all the sauces to be refilled, they definitely seemed short staffed. Thanks to Jasmin she made it a nice evening. Roasties could be crispier !

We both had the carvery and it was great value for money , we gave a 5 star for both service and atmosphere as we thought grace was exceptionally welcoming and friendly . Well done

Our server Grace was very friendly and helpful, the food was nice and good value for the money.

Very friendly and helpful service and good food

Grace was very helpful and friendly. And food was good. The music creates a nice atmosphere.

Food and service where impeccable but the atmosphere was abit too loud for my liking

Excellent service for our large party booking. Grace and Jade were really friendly and helpful.

Grace and Jade Great host and serving staff. Will be back again

Exceptional service from Grace today !! As always the food and service was impeccable.

Not a nice experience. We had booked this carvery as the one at Withdean was closed. Arrived at 6pm welcomed and taken to our table. Ordered our food and drinks. The pizza arrived after ten minutes and was enjoyed by our son however the carving was a massive disappointment. The meat was fine but the vegetables were terrible especially the potatoes which were warm and chewy. Peas were dry and can’t comment on the cauliflower as the dish was empty. With only a few in the restaurant and at 6pm I would have thought that they would have plenty of vegetables. This was not like our previous visits. The person in front of me scooped out the remaining beef gravy so it was just an empty pan left. The staff ware friendly but the food was a let down.

Great place for a Sunday lunch. Grace is lovely.

Good food, needs some air con for those warm summer days.

Three of us went at 6pm. The staff were nice and welcoming. One pizza ordered and two traditional carvery’s. The pizza was nice and the Turkey and Gammon were fine however the vegetables were horrible. Potatoes looked nice however they were very chewy and either reheated of cooked and left standing. Peas and carrots were dry and warm. The meat gravy I had to scoop the last portion out of the pot which left it empty for the next person. Although the Yorkshire pudding looked good it was soft like a pancake. We visited this one as the carvery at Withdean is closed at the moment. We will not return and sooner wait for Withdean to reopen or go to The Stonehouse at Shoreham which is very good.

Very low moral about the staff and roast potatoes where dead even fresh ones cooked to death !! The vibe was not great and Guinness tasted awful !! I’ll try again in 10 years !! Note to big managers pay your staff more and improve moral happy staff = happy customers!!

Very helpful. Very professional and great food. Big thanks to Grace

The staff were SO lovely and friendly, nothing was too much for them and the food was pretty yummy. Beautiful potatoes and beautiful meat. Have been to a few different carveries and only came to this one because the one we usually go to was closed but this might become our favourite

Always made welcome, friendly staff. Enjoy my couple of Carling 👍. Will keep coming here, even though it's a short bus ride away

The carvery may be simple, but it comes at a simple price. As someone who usually prefers fine dining, I always make sure to take my grandparents here, as they absolutely love it. Usually the food is hot and fresh, and I always leave after eating a few kilos of veg. Grace and Matt were lovely and attentive, the beef was particularly tender. Of course it’s no five star restaurant, but you’re not paying a five star price!

Grace and Matt were wonderful! Many thanks 💛

Terrible told the waitress potatoes were horrible and she went do I want some more ? Customer service? Thats a joke never eating again worst food peacehaven is much better . Surely you tell someone the food isn't up to scratch they should apologise and tell the chef due to other people complaining ?

Great food along with friendly staff. Great value for money. Will return.

Brilliant food lovely atmosphere Served by Grace excellent service would definitely return again

Great value for and drink and excellent staff.

Great atmosphere and great service.

Grace was excellent, very attentive and cheerful

Wonderful servers, very friendly. Thank you especially to Jade and Gracie. Everyone is always happy to accommodate my extra needs which is so kind of them. And they all go out of their way to make sure you have a good time/meal whilst you are there. Such a lovely team!!

My friend and myself visited for breakfast and we were thoroughly impressed by the choice of breakfast items and refill coffee all for a very reasonable price.The staff were friendly and helpful.. On the down side the car park was littered with rubbish and the interior of the pub was looking very tatty with peeling wallpaper and general paintwork looking shabby.. Could do with a facelift!

I’m a regular! Have a late lunch here several times a week. Excellent value and very prompt service. Well served always by Grace and Trinity 🤓

The Carvery was so dry and the 2 slices of beef I was given was so full of fat felt like I had chewing gum in my mouth seemed to me the chef who served me really didn't care about customer service. best thing about it was the dessert I would probably try again to get a better experience.

Food was average for Stonehouse carvery. Been to many before. Service was the worst I've ever had waited 20 minutes for plates to be removed before our desserts, when it was wasn't that busy. Desserts were poor, rock hard pudding after being microwaved. Wouldn't return again.

nice little pub and great value roast

We found the staff very friendly and the food enjoyable

We were made to leave today halfway through our meal due to a whole bunch of travellers disturbing the peace and police rudely asked us to leave immediately. We were there for my Grandads 70th birthday. A quiet family meal. It was so loud the time we did have there and then we were forcibly removed! I’d appreciate a refund!

Well the kids voted to come here ! , not my choice it was local and did set 2 course menu £11;49 . Tried using the order at table ap useless , use the staff . The place looks really sad , uncared for with peeling wall paper , sticky tables and menu flaking paint 😟 We ordered the carvery but should have checked the meats first a sad turkey no meat small piece of beef , and gammon , told no more freshly cooked meats would be served it was 6.30pm !!. Food was ok , unlimited ice cream machine was the real reason the kids wanted to come . Such a shame ,prime location with lots of potential sadly they don’t have clue . We won’t be returning.

Great breakfast for the money. Quick service for a morning break

Always polite and friendly. Always use to do work and have some lunch at a reasonable price.

service from the start was very enthusiastic, and knowledgable, pizza was amazing and came out way quicker than expected, thanks oren and grace for a lovely experience

Friendly welcome and service from Grace. Only negative was that the stuffing had run out and by the time it was replenished, we had nearly finished our food.

Grace was amazing and very professional, always an amazing place to visit in the evenings. Thanks Grace and welcome back!

Lovely food, amazing service by the wonderful Shaynie. Would definitely visit again!

Nice meal, excellent service by Shanie who was always available and couldn't have done more

Grace and jade was amazing very good service couldn’t do enough for us we had a brilliant experience will definitely be back

Friendly professional service from staff combined with excellent food at very reasonable prices make the 'Tav' a stand-out venue for all.

Great place for a pint. Brilliant staff.

The best carvery in the area and friendly staff to go with it!

Lovely carvery, the staff where awesome would definitely recommend for everyone.

I have been going to Saltdean tavern for a few years and I’ve always had a good experience. The prices are fair, the offers are good and the food, especially the Beyond burger is delicious and the staff are professional and friendly. There are also a decent amount of options for vegetarians and vegans.

Had a nice carvery with a friend. Was served by a lady named grace. She's very good at her job nice welcome and friendly. She's very attentive and let us know that their was groups booked and where the tables we were able to sit were. Processed our orders without any fuss. Checked and made sure all was good when passing the table. I hope that she's is not over looked for her service she provided. Best service I've had from a pub/restaurant in some time And looking at other reviews too she's a very good asset towards the business. Overall the night had a nice chilled atmosphere, the food was lovely. Thank you for your service again Grace, keep doing what you're doing. Will be back again soon.

The food was amazing and the place is kept quite tidy, the servers were very kind and welcoming. Would come here again 👌

Had a breakfast. Grace was lovely.

Food was lovely, great service from Lucy . Great experience, will be back:)

Lovely friendly staff, good food, decently cheap

This was my first time at The Saltdean Tavern and I’ll definitely be back, the carvery was amazing and so were the staff, can I just put a shout out to Grace who was particularly friendly. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Nice food grate price and helpful staff
