Thai in Wealden

The restaurant is located in the lovely village of East Dean and looks out onto the village green. The food was delicious and service very efficient and friendly

We were staying at the Tiger Inn, just across the village green from here, so we decided on the spur of the moment to try the Thai Terre, having arrived back from a long day out and not wanting to trail around looking for somewhere to eat. We looked in at around 5.30pm and were told we really should book but as there was nothing until well after 8pm, asked if they could accommodate the two of us if we could change and get back to them in 15 minutes. They could, so we did! Large selection of every type of Thai you could want, so we opted for soft noodles with a cashew nut and seafood stir fry and lamb shank curry, both of which were very tasty. The place soon filled up, so we were fortunate to have squeezed in earlier than the main rush. Food piping hot, well prepared and very nice, plus good value for money in today's terms. Good choice if you want something different from the pub grub you're likely to find in many of the local villages around.

It is disappointing not to be able to provide a positive review for this restaurant as we’ve been coming here for years but I regret that our last experience was not a good one. Generally the staff are cheerful and attentive but this time we found the service slow and not very good. One waitress barely smiled at us at all and just dumped plates of food on the table without any attempt to identify who had ordered what! I also asked for a dish to have extra spice but my request had clearly been ignored or forgotten in the long time that passed between ordering and arrival of the food. With higher prices, blander tasting dishes and poorer service than we have come to expect, it will be some time before we revisit what used to be out favourite Thai restaurant :-(

Great lunch and I can highly recommend this restaurant and so would the friends that I went with.Parking no problem unlike towns in the area

Great food in a lovely setting 02/04/24 . Staff very friendly and attentive. Can honestly say one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to.

I first visited in June & after was sent a voucher for a free bottle of wine on the next visit. I visited again last night only to be told they wouldn’t accept the voucher! I was only given it 2 weeks ago & it clearly says valid for 1 month! Spent £119 and still refused the voucher. Surely this is false advertising luring in customers with vouchers then declining them. I have sent two emails to complain - no response so far!

Good set lunch menu, reasonably priced at £14.95 for two courses. Spring rolls for starter were heartily sized and tasty. Tempura vegetables likewise. Main courses, pad thai king prawns were lovely and properly cooked. Sweet and sour chicken an odd inclusion for a thai restaurant but very tasty and recommended. Green thai curry was great tasting but minuscule in size and therefore disappointing. All meals and courses beautifully presented. Service OK, a little inattentive, had to repeatedly chase, but when present were friendly and engaging.

Great service and the food was tasty unfortunately the prices were higher than those advertised on their website

My husband and I went for lunch to the restaurant for my birthday. We have been before with another couple, some time ago and we loved it. This time, we felt the service wasn't up to scratch, given the prices they charge and asked for the 10% service charge to be removed. The reasons are as follows: 1) rather than being led to our table, the young waitress just pointed and said "you're in there" 2) our cutlery was just dropped onto the table, not put down gently 3) the table next to us (3 people) - the waitress cleared their plates whilst one lady was still eating 4) then brought their mains, whilst the lady was still eating - we commented on this and they agreed it wasn't professional. 4) my husband's Thai green curry was obviously not made fresh. The sauce with the veg in it was tasty but they had just added cooked chicken to the sauce, so it was tasteless and for the price he was disappointed. 5) when we got the bill for 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 small lager and a coke, it was £88 including the 10%, so as that was removed, it was £80 for lunch! I really don't mind paying for good food but that was very expensive for what we had and won't be returning.

Went to celebrate a family birthday and it was amazing as always. Attentive staff, good quality food, good size portions, nice welcoming atmosphere! Nothing was too much trouble.

Great food and prompt service. Recommended by family and lived up to the excellent reviews. My rating of 4 reflects the one thing that was not to our particular preference in that the sticky rice came beautifully packaged & steaming hot but was so sticky that it was too heavy.

This is an excellent Thai restaurant. Four of us ate there, each ordering different starters and different main dishes. We all agreed our meals were really tasty. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant is fairly small so probably best to book at busy times.

one of my favourite restaurants. service is amazing and the food is so delicious nothing is every wrong with it. the atmosphere in the restaurant is so peaceful. in most other restaurants it’s loud and i have to raise my voice to talk to my family but in here it’s lovely. all the food is very traditional and so delicious

Never disappointed. Great food beautifully presented. Staff work very hard and it is truly authentic though it is a bit small and sometimes noisy

Super-friendly, very welcoming. Willing to cater for individual tastes e.g. heat preference. Good food, well-presented with nice touches.

We ordered a takeaway from Thai Terre East Dean for a second chance after a poor experience on a previous occasion and I am sorry to say I won't be ordering from here ever again. The food is expensive and mediocre. Duck with tamarind sauce was full of pineapple which is not mentioned on the description, Garlic /Kratiem Prik Thai chicken was tasteless and anaemic looking and the rice was all stuck together. I have not had a reply from my email regarding my comments but nothing so far which I feel is unacceptable. It is such a shame that we won't be ordering ever again from this establishment - we really wanted to like it as it is so convenient!

This was a 70th birthday celebration but was sadly a poor choice of venue. We arrived at 7.05pm and were promptly shown to our booked table. The waitress took our order and our drinks were delivered quickly. From there it all went down hill quickly. We waited for 1 hour 5 minutes and were about to cancel the meal when a waitress showed up with our starter platter, apologised fir the delay stating "we are very busy with take aways!!!". We found that incredible that the restaurant prioritises take away customers over booked in dining customers. The food itself was mediocre, tasting rather like a cheap chinese takeaway. We didn't dare go for a sweet in case we had another 1 hour wait!!! In all, I would certainly not recommend it for a special occasion nor if you want decent quality Thai food.

Visited a few days after indoor eating was allowed again. Screens between tables but this in no way diminished the experience. Staff friendly & welcoming. Food really good. If I lived locally I’d want to visit on a regular basis. Perfect for our first evening out post lockdown number 3 (or is it 4?!)

We visited Thai Terre on Sunday night (and ate in) but it was probably not the best time to go. Our mixed starters were dry and over-cooked, as though they had been cooked lunchtime then reheated. My Crispy Duck salad could have been anything -...

Yet another excellent meal from this excellent and friendly establishment, a fovourite with my in laws, they treat us to a meal here whenever we are down this way. Although the situation is rather strange at the moment, they made the most of the weirdness,...

Service was prompt and the food well cooked, but the flavours and ingredients were a slight let down. The strangest thing was that the basil used in the green curry and ‘spicy sauce’ on the sea bass seemed to be of the Italian rather than...

Only open at moment for take away.... use the app, the food is as brilliant as usual! The new app makes everything easy, it even tells you when they are cooking your order! Please try the Tom yum soup, it’s to die for!!!

This was a pleasant surprise during our visit to the South Downs. great service and a warm welcome in this pleasant village.

We were a group of 10 have dinner together. We left the choices to the chef and we were not disappointed, excellent variety, great flavours and very considerate service

We visited East Dean after the august bank holiday rush. After a wonderful walk on the downs we returned back to the car, passing 'Thai Terre' on the village green. What an amazing location. Food so authentic, reasonably priced, fantastic service. The little extras of...

The Thai Terre was excellent. Classic menu cooked very well, everything was very tasty. Great location in the village of East Dean and views of the South Downs from upstairs. Thank you for the lovely food, great atmosphere and a very enjoyable evening.

This is a fairly conventional Thai restaurant serving good but not innovative food. The menu selection will be quite familiar to Thai food lovers. The dining rooms themselves are set on an historic village green with views through large windows. The rooms are small and...

Came here for dinner with my partner a couple of nights ago whilst staying locally at Belle Tout. The restaurant itself was welcoming, bright and clean and the service attentive and polite. The menu offered up the usual Thai fare (of which I am a...

Loved this place, had dinner her one night and the staff are lovely, so happy, smiley and welcoming, nothing too much trouble and the food is amazing and tasty, very good value - will definitely return.

Another place we ate whilst at Belle Toute and amazing food service and location! Staff really happy and friendly ... lovely place!

Very nice people, food extremely good and at reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere and welcoming. Also available as take away

We were staying opposite and this restaurant came highly recommended. It was awesome. Great food and fantastic staff. 10/10

My husband and I were guests of a dear friend two weeks ago when he took us to the Thai Terre in Upper Street East Dean. This is now the best Thai food I have ever eaten and the restaurant has a magnificent display of...

Reserved a table for lunch as the restaurant is small but nicely decorated with a cosy feel. Love Thai food, one of my faves however we have had better for less of a price. Chicken was dry under the satay sauce and the chicken in...

We live in East Dean and although this restaurant is local it’s always a treat to visit. Friendly staff great food and a brilliant location with good parking. Best Thai for miles around. Highly recommended.

Very popular restaurant, advise booking beforehand. Tasty food choice and not just the standard Thai menu that you get elsewhere.

We visited this restaurant on a recommendation from my daughter, celebrating a graduation. The restaurant is quite small and cosy but with sufficient space to have some level of privacy. We had the sharing platter to start and this was delicious. This was followed by...

What a lovely experience it is, time after time, the staff are truly delightful the ambience and decor are impeccable, the views out over the green are calm and soothing. But, most of all, the menu offers, and delivers, delicious, well cooked and beautiful food....

The food we were served was all simply fantastic - tasty, fresh and prompt. We also received a palate cleansers and taster spoons for free. Personally I would have preferred the dishes to have a little more punch. The decor is smart yet simple and...

We came here after a lengthy walk along the South Downs. It was busy and we grabbed the last table. Staff are friendly and helpful and there’s a good selection of dishes on the menu! The set lunch is good value for money too! Would...

Busy Saturday night, first time eating here. Good, attentive service, pleasant atmosphere and lovely nosh. Yum crispy salmon and gorgeous soups.

Surprised to see a Thai Restaurant in such a picture postcard settled alongside the Tiger Inn and Sherlock Holmes retirement home. The food was good lacked the Thai spice. Clearly sanitized for the Euro taste. Bit sad. Good value that said. Some none Thai dishes...

Many years ago this restaurant was called Grimaldi’s and was an excellent restaurant of the time, run by distant members of the Grimaldi circus family. So we were keen to return and see how times had changed this restaurant in the delightful East Sussex of...

The food in this restaurant is just amazing. Never had a disappointing dish. Staff are extremely polite and very proud of their restaurant and customers well being. If you are not sure about any dish, they explain in great detail and will amend the spiciness...

Had a nice lunch here - we had the prawns, followed by the duck salad and sweet and sour prawns with egg fried rice. It was enjoyable. The service was friendly and efficient. We especially enjoyed the palette cleansers between each course.

It was my first visit in Thai Terre and definately not the last one. I can truly recommend to everyone who would like to try thai cousine. I have tried a few dishes and all of them were full of taste and delicious. Reasonable prices,...

Went tonight for our wedding anniversary, having been several times before. This was the best meal we have had at a restaurant for years, and we eat out a lot! The food was magnificent and the service wonderful, we did not want to leave but...

This is the sister restaurant to the Thai terre in Uckfield East Sussex and is just as good with friendly staff and excellent Thai menu. Definitely recommend this place.

We tipped up unannounced on BH Saturday and had the most lovely meal. The set menu wasn't huge on choice but the flavours were great. The prawn/cashew was better than the pad thai, but both were excellent. There's lovely walks from there to Birling Gap...

We went tob Thai Terre restaurant on the green in eastdean one sunny lunch time. We had a large selection of traditional Thai food all cooked freshly. We were served by a very friendly ,and helpful staff. Our food was of an excellent quality. I...

This is a very busy restaurant. It’s small with two main spaces. There is a good lunchtime set menu but we had small appetites and had a couple of dishes - Pad Thai, Pak Choi, Scallops, fishcakes. Service is friendly and efficient but not particularly...

Came for a joint birthday celebration. Good food and I am used to Thai because my daughter in law is a Thai and this passed muster

Consistently good authentic Thai food, beautiful location within the village, very friendly attentive staff

Disappointed tonight, service very slow. Food good but table next to bar and kitchen not a good location as all you can see is staff going backwards and forwards and making drinks. Trying to pack in too many people.

Always great to come here, the service is very friendly and food is delicious. Nice decor inside, and in a quaint village.

Went here with family, my wife and I have just come back from Thailand so I wasn't overly optimistic that the food would measure up but it really did! I had a vegetable panang curry and it tasted exactly like the ones I had in...

Went for a special meal with friends from Italy last week, as usual the staff and the food were excellent, nothing left on any of our plates.The flavours are wonderful. Very good value. Will definitely be returning very soon for the yellow curry and the...

I am always sad to write a bad review particularly when it appears that everyone else who eats here thinks it is wonderful but our Tuesday night birthday celebration was a catalogue of errors. We sat for half an hour before anyone bothered to take...

Going to the Thai Terre, always puts a smile on my face, the staff are so lovely, the food is so tasty and the choices are mouth watering. Delicious!

Just been to Thai Terra and what a great night, food was amazing and service exceptional. Started with the mixed platter, then yellow curry and crispy duck. You get mini tasters between every course too which is great, attention to detail is spot on. Myself...

Would highly recommend this Thai restaurant in East Dean a little gem we did not even know about but will be returning and recommending to friends and family. The Monkfish Green Thai curry was so amazing, my husband loved the crispy prawns which were so...

We were staying nearby and everyone we spoke to said eat at the Thai restaurant in East Dean. So we did and it was excellent.

This restaurant is a little diamond gem in an area that has little to recommend it on the food front. Tucked away in a small village, this family run restaurant is outstanding! We had the Tom Ka Gai soup and crispy spring rolls to start....

We were staying at the lighthouse up the round so decided to come here for dinner one night. Very authentic and professional service. Delicious food at a great price. Have eaten out a lot in Thailand and can honestly say this is just as good...

Visited the Thai Terre last Sunday lunchtime with my wife and elderly father. The staff couldn’t do enough to welcome us and make us comfortable. The lunch menu, although fairly limited, has enough choice and we all had something different. The surroundings are very pleasant...

We turned up on a Thursday night without reservation and were seated at a lovely table no problem. The service was 1st class, quick, attentive and friendly. The food was incredible the best Thai food I have eaten couldn't fault a thing. This restaurant is...

Fabulous restaurant tucked away on the green in East Dean. Service was excellent and all the dishes we had were delicious and beautifully presented. Most of us had the chef's specials, all were original and gently spiced. Can highly recommend this charming little place.

Strange shaped restaurant in the middle of nowhere. The staff are very friendly, superfast service. quality fantastic and I highly recommend thegreen curry

We chose this restaurant for an anniversary treat and we were not disappointed. The food and service were exemplary. Fantastic value for money. Had three starters; gorgeous soft shell crab, amazing mussels and lovely edame beans; followed by a red curry of giant prawns and...

We visited here on a Saturday night and managed to get a table last minute. When we arrived we were greeted and seated quickly. We ordered the mixed starter for two which included chicken satay (my favourite), spring rolls, fishcakes and prawn toast. it was...

It was entirely unexpected to have such an authentic, delicious Thai restaurant in this location. The Service was quick and the meals aromatic and filling.

Lovely Thai food in this beautiful village - really worth going to. We have been for lunch set menu and dinner

Lovely meal last night with my girlfriend - delicious food and superb service. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

I love Thai food and have visited at least 30 different places within my localish area many times. Sitting here again today for the umpteenth time I felt it's time I wrote a TripAdvisor review, rare for me! Lunchtime menu of prawn tempura + green...

We were recommended this restaurant by our host and it lived up to our expectations. I was able to choose from a selection of gluten free dishes and I can recommend the tamarind duck. Delicious. The staff were also very good.

The best thai restaurant!! I am soooo happy its in Uckfield! We have been twice and both times were amazing. I am still thinking about it this morning. Go go go!

Second visit to Thai Terre and also to East Dean. What a fantastic setting - a quintessential English village setting with a lovely oriental restaurant, on the green. Food and service were excellent on both visits. Portions are generous and the price is about right...

On holiday and was recommended this restaurant. Great menu and wine list and the food was excellent as was the friendly service. One of those restaurants where you enjoyed leaving a tip.

Really nice food and not too expensive either. Good range on the menu and not just the typical Thai offer but a range of specials too.

This is the second time we've visited this restaurant in the last month. We didn't believe that the food could be as good the second around but how wrong we were. The food was exceptional! The staff were friendly and attentive but not overly so....

Fantastic location matched by exceptional service and food! All the staff were so welcoming and helpfull, they took time to explain the menu and helped advise with our choices.All our food was delicious! It was so nice to be in a restaurant where we didn't...

My sons 30th Birthday celebration. Great food, fantastically rasty and varied, hot and really well presented. On their own initiative they presented a birthday plate to our son with Happy Birthday in raspberry coulis script with ice cream, fruit and a flaming candle. One word...

First visit to Thai Terre and will certainly be going back. Took friends one of whom what Thai. Meal thoroughly enjoyed by all, that says something. Lunch is from a set menu - four choices for starters four choices for main course followed by ice...

I am not generally a great fan of Thai cooking, but the food here was delicious. My wife and I decided to share two main courses - the crispy duck (£10.95) and the giant prawn (£12.95) - plus a portion of pak choi (£7.95) and...

Had a fantastic meal! Everything we had was amazing. We started with the mixed platter, then the thai green chicken curry and weeping tiger. All the food was perfectly cooked perfectly and scrummy! The staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive! Would highly recommend this...

We were staying at the Tiger Inn last night, and having looked at trip advisor reviews we decided to try out Thai Terre. It was absolutely the right decision. The other reviews are right, this is up there with the best Thai food I have...

Quite simply the best Thai meal I've ever had. The restaurant was pretty packed, a good sign to start with. We hadn't booked, but they still managed to find a nice table for us. The service was outstanding and the food even better. We had...

It would be easy to overlook this restaurant, but don't make that mistake! There is a good menu here and the food is very tasty. It's served without much of a wait and great care is taken with the presentation. The staff are pleasant, helpful...

Recommended to go here from the Belle tout lighthouse. Staff were very helpful in explaining the menu. the service was great and when the food came it was as described and lived to what we had been told about it..

Impromptu meal having decided against the rather nasty pub opposite. Our meal was delicious and the service was excellent. Nice 2 course meal for two with coffee and a bottle of wine for around £50 can't be bad. Would definitely return. The ladies running it...

I ate here with my parents tonight and it was just divine. Both ladies were very friendly, sweet and knowledgeable. The quality of service and food were amazing. I had sweet and sour pork with rice and it was served very hot and it was...

Second visit. It's a little gem, hidden out of the way in East Dean. Beautifully presented Thai food, with a vast choice. Whilst slightly priced above the average meal out, You get plenty of choice, and a generous helping. Definitely will return, it's lovely for...

It isn't s large restraunt but with excellent service and just fantastic food any bigger might spoil it. I hope I get the chance to go again. We were a party of four and with starters drinks etc wad 125 pounds

We visited Thai Terre last Saturday Evening,and we found the restaurant very pleasant ,with good service.The restaurant is set in an a superb setting just off the Village Green at East Dean. The food was cooked and presented beautifully , the mixed starters were divine.It...

We only had a limited time but wanted something quick. The service was among the most friendly I've experienced in a restaurant; the staff immediately understood that we needed to pick up someone from the local Charleston Festival and were at pains to serve us...

The restaurant was packed on Tuesday evening when we visited. We were put upstairs and the room was full making it hot and stuffy. The Service was slow because the place was under staffed. The food was in the main very nice, mixed starter for...

Yet again the staff and food surpassed expectations, have returned several times and last night was my sons birthday treat, and they did not fail. Will continue to return again and again
