The Cooden Tavern in Rother

Nice place to stay, lovely location on the beach. Decent enough room, breakfast, and dinner were fine, although not many dinner options available. My partner enjoyed the spa, and overall, we had a great time.

Lovely hotel. Everything was wonderful and staff made it so easy plus nothing was to much trouble. 5 star service.

Come here often for morning coffee and cake, Barbara always looks after us, and goes above and beyond!

I went to the spa at this hotel, and it was gorgeous. The staff are so lovely and the massage therapists were excellent. I had a couples massage with my partner and we both loved every minute of it. Totally recommend. And the view where this hotel is, is beautiful right on the seafront! 5 starts from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A luncheon here surprised. The position right on the beach provided a fine (if chilly in late September) backdrop to a meal with friends. From a reasonable menu, homemade chicken pie was well stuffed although less than crisp pastry suggested reheating to get it to table. Lamb shanks were favoured by our party, too. Service was good and willing in surroundings which appeared to be recently refurbished.

We went for Sunday lunch. The staff are amazing and it's a lovely place. The kids fish and chips we thought should have had some sort of peas or veg with it. Same as the roast, some greens would have been nice. But that said my beef was amazing but my wife's chicken was a bit cold. All in all a pleasant meal that could have been better for the price..

Nice bar right on the pebble beach, so great view of the sea. Did take ages to get served, but very good cocktails.

Ideal relaxing break, excellent helpful staff, room very stylish and comfortable with tasteful decor

Very pleasant stay following business meeting. The service and food is very good. The bathroom was a little cramped, but doesn’t really cause any issues.

Great hotel right by the sea. Own parking spaces available. Rooms not too big, functionally furnished and very clean. Breakfast is served as a buffet with a good selection. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Dinner was also great, but the prices were a bit high. Unfortunately there is a lot of traffic in front of the door. If you sleep with the window open and have a room directly on the street, you can expect noise early in the morning.

Lovely sea views. Nice, bright large room. Had to ask for my coffee twice as it was missed on my tables order. When I eventually got it, it was cold.

Came here to view for a wedding ceremony on Saturday with my sister. I was totally blown away by the place. Jenny the wedding host was so lovely and certainly made the venue even more appealing. I am very much looking forward to hopefully help plan my sisters wedding here. Reasonably priced too and alot included.

I visited on Bank Holiday Monday to get something to eat. Signage poor, meaning I had to ask someone where the restaurant was. I then stood by the attached sign, waiting over 10 minutes, with no acknowledgement from anyone. Two girls were seated drying cutlery and a chap was serving at the bar. Not a single bit of engagement from anyone. I decided. that clearly my business was not wanted. On leaving, I passed the woman who had previously provided directions to the restaurant. I established she worked there and explained the situation, but that did not stir her. She remained seated behind her laptop. For the service industry, this is totally unacceptable. I noticed signs about being " cashless". I would add clueless. The hotel must be very proud of these employees

Went for Sunday lunch in June . Excellent food in a wonderful location with beautiful views . Exceptional service from our server Barbara who could not do enough to make our experience enjoyable . Will definitely return again .

Really nice beachfront hotel, literally on the beach and very close to the train station. Been for coffee . Order a mid morning fruity tea cake delightfully served with butter and a generous dollap of jam. Not eaten lunch there yet but sitting out front admiring the coastal scenery is my idea of heaven. Service is good if a little frosty from one waitress. Great place for family outings, weddings or leisurely Sunday lunch. Hotel has spa treatments but I really wish they had a swimming pool.

My in-laws recently held their 50th wedding anniversary party at the Cooden Beach. I cannot praise all of the staff highly enough. The food and service was outstanding. Particularly impressive the food all came out looking and tasting fantastic, and remained hot which is difficult to do serving so many people at once. A special mention to Sam who seemed to be at all places at once making sure the party went smoothly, and again at breakfast the next day. She effortlessly helped with everything and ensured the party went as well as it did. She must have been exhausted, but always smiling and friendly, an absolute star!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel smells beautiful as you arrive and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The receptionist went out of her way to rearrange our dinner plans. The housekeeping staff found something we had left behind and the hotel kindly agreed to send it back to us. The room decor was stunning as was the restaurants and the location being right on the beach was perfect. Breakfast was delicious! Would definitely like to stay again.

Great staff, attentive without being overbearing and very friendly.

Went for lunch. Great find on Cooden Beach. Hotel undergoing full refurb, will be fab when finished

We only went in for coffee and cake and although the place was very quiet they had to clean a table for us, and as other tables were being vacated no one came to clear them. Service was slow, no customer/staff interaction, everything came out in dribs and drabs, there was only two choices of cake which could have been fresher, (and the cake appeared 20 minutes after the tea/coffee when we asked if it had been forgotten) very lacklustre and shoddy for a place of their calibre, and I was astonished at the cost when we came to pay. Not for me thank you.

My sister in law treated me to a birthday lunch here. The meal, and dessert were delicious! The tide was in and the waves were crashing. Wonderful views.

I loved the food and relaxed atmosphere here . I found the more layed back style to our liking and the service was great

This is a more relaxed option at the hotel .The food and staff where outstanding . I would recommend this as an option for anyone as its open to non residents .

We ate in the tavern and had standard pub grub but cooked well. Tasty and always good to see food cooked in front of you as the kitchen is exposed.The food isn't cheap but you wouldn't expect that at CBH.Sometimes the atmosphere is ruined by the large TV that always seems to be showing football. Annoying.

We were very impressed by 'The Bistro' back in October. We hadn't booked but nevertheless were welcomed by Beth who immediately showed us to a comfortable table with a view of the sea. This, plus the excellent food and service, prompted us to revisit for lunch today with friends from the North of England. The 4 of us were looked after by André who served us Harvey's local Sussex beer. We each had a different dish ( fish and chips; liver and bacon; swordfish and the vegetarian tomato/blue cheese/walnut tart.) André's service is an asset to Cooden Beach. He is multilingual, friendly and efficient. The view superb was glorious and the food outstanding.

Back in the area to reminisce about days when we used to stay at this lovely Hotel whilst visiting relatives in the area. Popped in to have a quick drink- enjoyed good service and a local beer from a pump in comfortable surroundings. Fully recommend .

On the afternoon we arrived, we ate lunch here. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a sandwich lunch but this was more than the usual sandwich. It came with a very tasty salad. Just what we needed after our long drive.

Another excellent good value for money dining experience. The food was excellent, the ambience pleasant and the attentive staff led by Andre were superb. Highly recommended. Another terrific meal.

We live near here and feel fortunate to have this hotel and restaurant nearby.Today we dined in the Tavern as we had our son's dog with us.As always the food was gorgeous. My husband Stephen had the steak and mushroom pudding which he said was the best he had had when eating out. A pint of Harvey's too to go with the meal.I had barbecued chicken from the specials board which was perfectly cooked. Lime and soda as I was the driver.I often say this about the Cooden beach because it is important to me. The loos are spotless as are the washbasins.Lots of mirrors and tissues and a chair just how ladies loos/powder rooms should be.The staff are lovely and remember their guests which is important. Today although it was busy Jamie still treated all diners in a kind and helpful way. The female Tavern manager was lovely as always as was her female colleague.It just shows that good service and food do still exist and in a venue overlooking the sea.

I had lunch at the Beach Brasserie at the Cooden Beach hotel with a friend in early July 2018, and just wanted to say that the food was exquisite and the service we received from Andre was absolutely top class....I have been travelling on and off since July (almost 2 months) and his service was BRILLIANT. Thank you Andre, and thank you to the chef at the Cooden Beach Brasserie!

Had a beautiful meal last night for my birthday, very attentive staff without being intrusive. Perfect cocktail to start, plenty of gluten free choices, even pudding, as I’m Coeliac, good wine selection. Andre, who I’m not sure was Head waiter or sommelier, was fun and approachable, highly recommend. Can’t comment on the price as my husband paid but for a special meal out it was worth it. We were made to feel very welcome .

We had a superb Sunday lunch on a glorious summer day. The folding doors were folded back letting in a cooling sea breeze. The main course was delicious and the ice cream Sundae to die for. All made for a perfect meal served by an attentive, friendly waiter called Andre.

The cooden beach is a gorgeous setting. Decided to sit outside facing the sea. Ordered coffees, wine and snacks from the bar. Service was friendly professional and smart. Have been here a few times now and would go back many more times.

Having had a terrible experience last December(2017) I was persuaded to give the Tavern another chance....so I did....early Friday evening.

This is local to us and usually we love it.

Came here with hubby, son, sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Sat outside on the beach facing area, great location and food looked promising from what we could see being delivered. Two of us had local cod and chips, two had ciabatta with smoked salmon and crab and son had burger. Burger was dry and quite bland, he didn’t finish it, citing he was full ( mother-in-law was paying so he didn’t want to upset her), the fish was lovely in the fish and chips but peas and chips only ok. The ciabatta and smoked salmon with crab was again ok. The menu is very limited and everything is medium to high price - £14 for fish and chips. Waiters and waitresses were run off their feet which meant a couple of short answers when we enquirer about more forks ( you have to get them yourselves but there were none left) and napkins. We wouldn’t go again I’m afraid.

Visited friends in Cooden who took us to the restaurant as a treat. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated very quickly. After ordering drinks we were given the menu, which was well laid out, clearly showing meat, fish and vegetarian dishes in separate columns. The variety and choice was very good. I had salt and pepper calamari to start and it was tender and delicious. My wife had the crab salad which was fresh and very tasty. For main course I had the calves liver, three large slices of tender liver on a bed of mash - tasted really good. My wife had the veal in mushroom sauce with dauphinoise potatoes which she said was the best food she had tasted in ages. I declined a dessert but my wife and our friends ordered ice cream desserts which, when they arrived, were huge and apparently very nice.

Decided to visit the Brasserie at short notice and glad we did. A good selection of beers and friendly bar staff. The food was excellent and it is nice to be able to see the chef working in the kitchen. Will visit again - portions good and very well presented.

I ate lunch at the Cooden Tavern and found the food to be tasty and good value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The Cooden Tavern is situated within the Cooden Beach Hotel. Good service and food with a nice location.

To celebrate our joint birthday me and my friend invited a group of friends to the Leisure Facilities and for meal to the restaurant at the Cooden Beach Hotel. To be honest the service was very disappointing as the changing rooms were not clean and the restaurant food was absolutely awful! My friend’s chicken was completely burned (black both sides) and when she asked for replacement the waiter seemed surprised. My friend was so disappointed that she just left the party. Another order of calamari was undercooked. There was lots of staff and not many customers but the service was absolutely appalling!

Forming part of the Cooden Beach Hotel, The Tavern offers a ‘pub style’ setting. Having visited twice before and had tasty meals we thought we would try again. What a difference 9 months makes?

Had the most wonderful lunch in the Cooden Tavern too much to eat and I’m gluten free so bonus not only to eat something but to leave stuff because I’ve no room for anymore 😃

I have had a meal in the main restaurant and the food was very good. We have also had a meal in The Tavern Kitchen and the food and service once again was extremely good.

I WILL BE SPEAKING TO YOUR LOCAL TRADING STANDARDS ABOUT THIS AND YOUR NON CO-OPERATION IN THE MATTER!

Tried to book for the " main" restaurant like I normally do, but it was very short notice.. Unfortunately it...

Afriend que era más tomó desde Australia para su última cena la noche. La comida estaba recién hecha y bien servido. Camarera era alegre y cortés. Recomendado.

Muy buena ubicación adjunto a la Cooden Beach Hotel justo en el paseo marítimo. Sin embargo, eso es lo mejor de este lugar. La camarera no sabía lo que la sopa del día era ella ir y preguntar! ! ! ! Uno de nuestro grupo...

Siempre disfrute de una visita aquí. La ubicación es magnífica por la playa. La taberna parece ser parte de la Cooden Beach Hotel y la comida es buena y bien presentada. Se puede ver la cocina y la preparación y todo está muy limpio como son los chefs.

Nos dio este lugar otra oportunidad, ya que tiene una renovación grande. Pero para ser sincero, todavía ofrece un menú muy limitado, si quieres sentarte fuera. . Casi imposible encontrar nada en ella, a menos que quieras un aperitivo!

Mi esposa y yo hicimos dos amigos aquí para el almuerzo, nuestra primera visita desde la remodelación. La Brasserie ahora es más grande, más ligeros y más espacioso que el antiguo restaurante, y la sensación general es más informal. Esto no resta el aura especial ocasión 'un poco. El servicio es bueno, rápido, eficiente y agradable. Tres platos con vino y café y una bebida cada uno antes de comer, a la izquierda sólo un poco de cambio de 200 libras, así que no es barato. La comida es excelente, al estar bien preparada y presentada, las porciones son buenas y todos disfrutamos de nuestras comidas.

I was having a mini break on my own, the staff were friendly. Not cheap but would definitely recommend this.

Went for dinner and what an improvement to the interior. Love the decor and light airy feel.had made a booking, which they couldn't find, so told to find a table. We sat down and a waitress stood at the table and said, drinks. My husband asked for a wine list and when he ordered a bottle of wine he was asked how many glasses, he said one. One the waitress replied and pulled a face. We asked for menus, we were told on the blackboards and I will give you five minutes. We just looked at one another in disbelief. From then on a waiter took over and the whole experience improved, the steak on the stones were amazing.

We had lunch with family and the dog .We have stayed and eaten here many times and it is always lovely .Attentive staff and wonderful ambience.Amazing position by the sea!

Really enjoyed our meals . 3 of us had fish and chips , Turkey and leek pie was the choice of the other member of our party . Good portions , hot food and plates . Friendly server who was attentive . I asked for a dessert not on the menu of the area we were in but the waitress got it for me . Desserts were good , not large , but enough .

Really nice food, well presented by friendly staff and in a lovely location. I chose the nut roast, as did one of the friends I was lunching with, and the other chose the salmon - all very tasty and at a reasonable price. Recommended.

We drove down on Easter Sunday for my husband's birthday lunch with our 10 year old son. Really busy so good job I'd booked! Extensive menu catering for all tastes inc specials - salads, sandwiches, burgers, chicken, fish and the exceptional stone steak. I chose this place specifically for the steak for hubby's birthday treat - an 8oz fillet steak you cook to your own taste on a hot stone. He wasn't disappointed! Have never heard so many mmmmmms! My fish & chips (tempura batter, yum) and son's chicken burger were devoured equally as enthusiastically. Lovely setting overlooking the beach though the Tavern area is on the side, not seafront. Brasserie menu looked as good so I think we'll go there next time. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Manager even said hello to everyone in the busy eatery. My son particularly liked the Easter egg he got for finishing his giant meal. Worth the hour's drive each way. Will be back.

Today I returned to this new-look Brasserie with my friend where we enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine, shepherds' pie and fish pie. The food was tasty, wholesome and very well presented. The wine was poured into proper sized wine glasses and expertly served by Andre who was attentive and professional. Even on a cloudy and damp April afternoon, the new look is bright and airy and the afternoon tea trays which were coming out looked very inviting - we will definitely be back and can recommend this beach-side location as a great way to start the new season and I look forward to al fresco cheese and wine on the terrace when the summer comes. Compliments to the management for bringing this establishment into the 21st century.

I had a lovely experience staff were really welcoming and attentive. The food was lovely. I really recommend visiting. I don't think you'll be disappointed and I certainly wasn't on my experience today. I had a Krispy prawns to start and a superfood salad as a main which was lovely.

We went out for a family meal on 21st March. Beautiful area for dining, i loved the revamp. Andre was very friendly and attentive serving us. Every requirement smoothly executed. The food was delicious!The only thing i would say is that the gentleman who gave us our coats needs more training in customer service.

Good selection of dishes available which the staff will adapt to your particular tastes as necessary. We tried the veal and the fillet steak, both of which were excellent with tasty sides and vegetables. Good range of desserts as well.Staff very helpful and attentive, our table was 'wonky' and they soon moved to a more stable one with minimum fuss.Breakfast in the same restaurant was also good, with buffet for cereals, pastries and fruit, cooked meals done to order, so nice and fresh.Had to toast our own bread, but once we had worked out how the toaster worked was no problemThe Tavern bar, part of this hotel, does more traditional 'pub grub', we didn't sample this ourselves, but those dishes we saw looked appetizing.

My son took me for lunch for my birthday, the overall experience was better than expected. We sat at a window table looking out at the rather choppy sea. The prawn tail starter was perfect but the fillet steak on the hot plate was to die for! With Andre as our waiter, who was extremely attentive, we had a lovely lunch, so thank you.

The new cavern has definitely brought the venue into the 21st century, bright and airy with some great features and furniture. However, the prices at the bar are reflective of a recent upgrade to the premises, I have never paid so much for a round of two drinks ( even in large cities across the world!) 1 pint of lager ( around £4.50) no issue here, but a whopping £8 for a 200ml 'tiny' bottle of prosecco! Come on!!! I have put this down as a place to eat more than a place to relax and have a drink as the extreme prices of drinks interspersed with something decent to eat may make the whole experience slightly more palatable.

This restaurant makes sure you won't go hungry as the portions are massive. I had the hunters chicken burger which i could barely finish with chips. Just what was needed after a long drive to get to the hotel. The staff were all polite and efficient.

The food was mediocre, I felt extremely uncomfortable during all my visits to this establishment. As a white male I felt uncomfortable watching the majority white staff bashing and treating the black staff member with disdain and disrespect.

Previously a year or so ago had probably the worst meal in 20 years, but went there for lunch twice recently and it's much improved. Good pub grub cooked in an open view kitchen.

Last night we were treated to an Elvis cabaret so as well as excellent food, quality service from thoroughly well trained staff and comfortable surroundings we had 2 hours of a great Elvis tribute in a Las Vegas style atmosphere. Only problem was we didn't want to leave and please can we have some more. Don't stop the music Mr Kimber. I have had many excellent meals here and have never faulted anything. The staff are more than obliging and courteous, good training shows and pays off. We will be back and hopefully these music nights will continue.

Enjoyed a superb meal tonight! I chose the barbecue chicken, which Charlie (chef) told me had just come out of the oven. Absolutely delicious, hot chunky chips and a very nicely dressed salad served with a glass of white wine! First class! All the staff were very charming. Well done The Cooden Tavern! ❤️

Decided to go here to sit on the decks by the seafront but upon arrival disappointed to see building works occurring so had to have our coffee on the terrace by the road. Not quite the same! Staff were helpful in explaining what improvements were happening but only when we enquiries. Latte was nice but costly at £3. Expensive compared to other local establishments.

A wonderful evening in every way. Superb food and wine accompanied by the most amazing service of the maitre de Andre. We were celebrating a friends birthday and our returning home to Australia. We could not have ended or holiday in a better way. Thank you so much for such a memorable night. The Aussies

Went for our anniversary, food was overpriced I had chicken skewers (note the plural in skewers as per menu) but only one came! Husband had meat platter @ £12,50, very overpriced, would off expected home made pate but this was shop brought. Table next to us ordered from restaurant menu this wasn't offered to us. Service was rushed soon as we sat down was asked if we wanted to order! Overall overpriced, no atmosphere, rushed service, would I go back? Prob not

Excellent waitress' attention and fabulous dishes and beautiful beers.I had an amazing time here in the gorgeous environment with friends.The desserts was delicious also.

Lovely terrace overlooking the beach but abysmal service and over priced pub food. Only one person working ng at the bar so at least 10 minutes wait to get drinks even. Long wait for expensive and not particularly nice food. Another 5 minutes wait for cutlery while the food was going cold. Manager needs to know there is a lot more to running a pub style garden which is what they have, than charging high prices and putting waiters in fancy clothes

We live locally so on a beautiful sunny day, thought it would be lovely to have some lunch here. We were both so very disappointed with the food. The chicken in my Caesar salad was so dry, the cheddar on my husbands plate looked as though it had been left out or uncovered as is was hard around the edges and the bread was definitely a day or so old as was also dry. It was such a shame as the location is stunning, but unfortunately we won't be rushing back as there are many nicer places to eat in Bexhill.

Fish and chips are good. But the burger they sent up to my room, as part of room service, was burnt and dry. Awful.

Dropped in after long day aa a tourist in Bexhill. Always wonder which bar to order from! They do different beers. Grab your order and head for the terrace on the beach. Sublime, beautiful views across the Solent. Staff are perfunctory, fits in with the decor and general ambience. Good beer.

Walked here along the beach from Bexhill. A very pleasant walk with great views. Stopped in the Tavern for lunch. We had a variety of different sandwiches which proved to be very popular. They also had a nice local Sussex ale on draught.Lovely jubbly.

Visited here for lunch on a Monday, quite busy, but good service, and a wide choice on the menu. Would recommend a visit as we were pleasantly surprised.

Came here for a family meal a few weeks back and we were made up with the food. The staff were wonderful and the food was delish! Thanks for a great evening!

this tavern is the best,excellent food wonderful chef ...as always will accommadate whatever you want,bless him so committed to his job,also serving staff so helpful and pleasent.will continue to use tavern and i highly reccommend this as ive never been dissappionted and friends and family are always happy with tavern all through the year xxxxx

I have been on holiday here for some days and I had the pleasure to eat at this place. Good food and very pleasant staff. James was the waiter that served me all of the times I went there and he was very lovely, very helpful and friendly, polite and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again every time I come around. Also have to mention that it was amazing that I could bring my dog Tomie with me.

Not a very nice tavern attached to hotel - reminded me of the worst days of motorway cafes. No drinks menu, no drinks prices. Food ok but not worth going to the place for - you would get better choice in Eastbourne.

Helpful staff, nice atmoshere and varied menu with some daily changes. Good value and nice to be able to see the chefs at work. We particularly like the fish and meat platters and lovely deserts. Dogs allowed.

The wife booked this as a surprise last night, and it was the first time for both of us. We had friends who said they had eaten here and recommended it.Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. Reasonably busy for a Thursday night.I ordered the "Stone Steak" with a portion of prawns on the side, my wife went for the Haddock and chips with mushy peas. Also had a side of onion rings between us.The steak was absolutely gorgeous, lovely piece of fillet that seemed considerably larger than the advertised 8oz. Needless to say, I didn't complain! It was perfection, Beautifully lean and tender. The chips and side salad that accompanied it were good too. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her fish and chips some of the freshest fish she had eaten in a while. I followed up with a slice of lemon cheesecake, the wife deciding on an Irish coffee. Couple of pints of Grolsch and two large glasses of white for the wife and a total bill of £56.00.Not bad at all and I'd thoroughly recommend as somewhere different to go in Bexhill.

We arrived here by accident rather than design and we were glad that we did. We had a table with an excellent view out over the sea. I had Fish of the day which was salmon with hollandaise sauce and pawns. It was very nice though I find having to buy a side dish for vegetables very strange. M had rib eye with pepper sauce which he enjoyed. But the desserts were excellent. White chocolate and raspberry cheesecake was yum and the orange pudding was lovely too. Nice to see some different dishes on the menu, not the same as every other restaurant. A lovely evening, thank you.

The Cooden Tavern is located in the Cooden Beach Hotel, a fine well-run beach front property just outside of Little Common/Bexhill, with what you could call a select and discerning clientele. The fare is uncomplicated and well prepared, with a friendly and efficient service. I would suggest for the fresh-fish-loving community to look for restaurants in Pevensy for a wider choice of fresh fish and seafood, but the Cooden tavern does well to cater for discerning diners who appreciate the fact that this hotel has commanding and uninterrupted views of the coast, and guarantees quality in every respect. You must check out the motor racing gallery at the rear entrance to the hotel, as it has superb photos from the turn of the century - 1904/1905 - showing the 'Home of British Motor Racing' in it's infancy. A real treasure!

My partner and I stopped off for morning coffee whilst touring the area and were delighted at the amazing setting right on the beach. Staff were helpful and professional although the coffee was a tad expensive but you are paying for the setting.

Not a huge menu for the bar food, but whatever you choose is extremely good.Great place to sit out by the sea front.Service is very friendly.Can recommend, and will definitely go there again..just one small thing..would have preferred a plate to eat off rather than a slate, as food kept falling off the edges.

We had a family meal at the Cooden Tavern recently. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was a really good experience. The Tavern is a little lacking in atmosphere and the view of flats across the road is less than inspiring (unlike the beach-front terrace), but it's very clean and comfortable; service was friendly too. The menu is limited but all the meals we ordered were great. I completely get what some folk have said about £13 being very expensive for a burger: it is, but the dish was executed perfectly (which it absolutely needed to be at that price!). We'd happily eat here again.

Meals are great . But you do have to wait ages for a coffee if you are in the coffee lounge . Very popular place and you can't go wrong going there. They hold lots of weddings etc

I met here to have lunch with an old friend who was staying at the Cooden Hotel with her 6 year old son for the weekend. We decided to eat at the Tavern as they have a children's menu. The children's menu was a little bit limited and my friends son loves fish and chips which was what the adults were having but they didn't offer a child's portion so he ended up having scampi instead which he did enjoy but fish would have been his first choice. The adults fish and chips was good, decent portions, and a choice of either Haddock or Cod. It was tasty and freshly cooked and the fish was very fresh. The chips were good too and the whole thing was nicely presented. I agree that the price of 13.50 is a little steep but we enjoyed what we had. We also loved that the children's ice creams came presented in little animal shaped cups with lids, and my friends son was able to keep his "penguin" as a souvenir. The staff took a little while to wait on us but our food arrived in good time and we then went up to the counter to pay. There were several other families in the tavern and I think this is a better choice than the Hotel Restaurant if you have smaller kids. I would eat here again.

We needed a quick lunch, we had a selection of sandwiches and chips. The quantity of food was very generous and the chips were excellent. The service was good.

We had another great meal here whilst staying at the hotel for the weekendGreat ambience and the service is first class.Varied menu with many mouth watering dishes including steak on a hot stone which I am told is fabulous. Next time that is what I will have.My partner had the soup, leek and potato which she said was just like home made and served with crusty bread and butterBeing able to take our small dog makes a visit here so relaxing

Food was well presented but overpriced. Fish & chips £13.50 and nothing to write home about. Only one vegetarian dish on the menu and that was £12. Coffee overpriced. Staff not very attentive. Have used this restaurant before and the vegetarian menu has always been minimal - should not have to ask if any other dishes are available.

Cooden is an unlikely location for a Sunday Pub Lunch, but is possible! I believe "The Tavern" was once a pub attached to the Cooden Beach Hotel. Now it provides pub meals and an informal bar to complement the more up-market hotel restaurant at the beach end of the building. We had a family Sunday pub lunch there, and will use it again. The service was excellent and the food at the higher end to expect for the traditional Sunday pub lunch. The real bonus is the location - The Beach.

Informal dining in the hotel with bar. We enjoyed good food and service good. Children's menu available.

Bij toeval hier terecht gekomen. Er was op dat moment ook een bruiloft aan de gang. Gelukkig nog een familiekamer voor ons 3-en. Overall was het prima.

This place good, for quick meal lunch or dinner. Slightly overpriced but the food tastes good so I thought as long as I enjoyed it, it didn't matter. The place is kept clean and the staff are friendly, I do like the fact that they let us open a tab up behind the bar. It's a ok place. Would go back.

Celebrated my mother's 90th birthday .staff friendly and accommodating. Food excellent as normal. .This was a return visit after a similar celebration last year. We were not disappointed

We have now stayed at the Cooden Beach Hotel on five occasions,dining there on at least two nights of each stay. The food, service and ambience is of a consistently high standard and I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.
