The Denbigh in Rother

Everything was ok, we have dined at the restaurant before and it was very good, the young lady serving was very professional and good at her job. BUT! Unfortunately the food was mediocre to say the least which I accepted however to speed up our exit I chose to pay at the bar, this is where the saga ensued. Embarrassingly i presented my debit card which was declined, after being told this in front of a busy bar I tried to pay again with the same result. The young lady, obviously feeling uncomfortable then suggested the internet was the problem and left the bar to check with the manager, she then returned and said the router was an issue and started unplugging it and trying to reset ( all the time the audience taking interest. Then FINALLY the manager appeared, engrossing the crowd further, out of pure frustration I suggested I pay the bill with same card via bank transfer and asked the owner/manger to enter his bank details in to my phone so I could prove that I had funds to pay for my partner meal and leave. Exactly the same card, paid the bill n full, bloody joke as the owner/manager offered not a penny of discount for the embarrassment. Mediocre and overpriced!!

I was treated to a birthday lunch at this lovely pub. The welcome from the staff was warm and friendly and the service was prompt but not overpowering (no-one said 'enjoy!' or kept coming to ask if everything was all right). It was just perfect with a lovely ambience, no noisy music, lovely and warm on a beastly cold wet day with a roaring fire. The food was just superb, exceptionally well presented and generous portions. As a vegetarian I often find the veggie dishes are a bit of an afterthought. Not so here and I sent my compliments to the chef. The nut burger was the best I had ever tasted. My friend and I both decided to add The Denbigh to our 'favourites' list and to recommend a visit to others. We could not fault anything at all and the whole experience was perfect.

Excellent food and service. Easy parking. The pub has been refurbished and only just reopened. Good to see spotless carpets and decor. Highly recommended. We will certainly be returning.

The staff were very nice so no worries there. The fish and chips were the most awful I have ever had. The pub is near the sea yet the fish was clearly months in the freezer. The flesh had no substance. The thin coat of batter was only just cooked, sloppy and no crispness. The chips were also slightly undercooked and the mushy peas clearly from a tin. The meatballs were swimming in fat. Given the good reputation of this pub I was very disappointed and won't be returning in a hurry.

The roast is too expensive for poor portion of crackilng and long wait for food the roast was nothing special not good either

My son and I both had a fantastic roast here today. Although they were very busy the service was 1st class. The pork was cooked perfectly and the veg was really fresh. A great experience and very good value. We shall be back! Almost forgot the great Eaton Mess.

Went here for a meet up with friends, Ordered fish and chips which was tasty but small portion, served with french fries which is unusual but they tasted ok, the peas could have had a little longer in the water. The desserts are not homemade according to the waitress (apart from the cheesecake) so at £7.90 are too expensive. We didn't order any for that reason. My friend did have the cheesecake it was tiny and definitely not value for money. Overall, a lovely evening with the company, the service was a bit slow as there were only 3 tables eating and doubt I will return but that's purely for value for money. Ending on a positive - my friend enjoyed the duck salad and it did look good.

Went for Sunday lunch (or not)! We booked a table with the owner, but when we arrived there was no booking. The waitress just said ‘oh well I’ll find a table’. She showed us to the table and asked what drinks we wanted. When she brought the drinks over she also gave us some menus. We then sat there and sat there and no waitress came to take our order. The waitress who gave us the menus walked past us and looked over many times, but did not take any order. Our booking was for 4pm and there was only four other tables in the pub so they were not busy at all. The waitress was small and blond and has worked at the pub for some time, as we have seen her when doing the quiz etc. A man on the next table called the same waitress over to him (he had also been waiting a long time) and ordered a dessert. The waitress looked at us, saw the menus on the table and said nothing to us. We thought she might be back in a few minutes - how wrong we were! What she actually did was bring her own food out to the bar!!!! After 30 minutes of waiting we gave up, paid for our drinks and walked out. The most appalling service we have ever had. We live very near the pub. We always do the quiz, have eaten there before and often go for a drink there. I am sorry to say we will not use the pub again. Please get some staff who care about customer service and can organise the pub in the owners absence.

We enjoy going here for lunch or dinner,good food & lovely friendly staff. But we just feel that the place could do with a bit of TLC ... we were seated near the fireplace which is a great feature of the pub, but it looks so drab but doesn't need to, it could so easily look fantastic.

The four of us had lunch there today. We had four different meals and all agreed that they were as good as you could ever get. Four clean plates! Cannot understand how some of the reviews to be seen on here would ever have happened. Delightful staff who looked after us with good humour too. Many thanks. Will return at the earliest next opportunity.

Waitresses were great Owner-manager was more interested in the regular customers. Food looked amazing. My daughters food and my food were lovely. My husbands jerk chicken burger was vile. It was brown inside and tasted off. Waitress collect the food from my husband's and it disappeared in the kitchen for 5 minutes it was then brought back and the Waitress clutching a jar of sauce. Saying chef said this is what he used. We paid full price for a rotten burger 🍔 i explained it tasted off but they didnt seem to care. Absolutely vile.

Went for Sunday lunch. I had roast beef, daughter had fish and chips with curry sauce and husband had a burger. All enjoyed, and daughter who is fussy, but said fish and chips good. Beef was tender and tasty. Puddings consisted of banoffee pie, chocolate brownie and Portuguese tart, all demolished, so we all enjoyed! Eaten here before and always enjoyed, and will return again. Only downside today was service was slow. I’d say a good 25 minutes between our food order being taken and it arriving. We were not in a rush but would have preferred to have not waited so long. However first time this has happened eating here so either due to being busy or maybe understaffed today?

This pub is such a lovely pub, the garden is beautiful, staff are very accommodating but I feel like it’s missing something. The menu has lots to offer but it doesn’t appear that anything is freshly made - it seems to be straight out of a freezer but still costs a lot. The salad & coleslaw was such poor quality. I would definitely go back for a drink but would avoid eating there again. Quite disappointing.

Friendly accommodating staff. I’d booked a table and then we decided we wanted to sit outside which they were fine with. Well presented tasty food and the best Banoffee pie I’ve ever tasted. All round a great experience.

Dined today, was so nice I came to write a review and saw the bad ones. I can only assume it is under different ownership now. We had 2 Roasts and a seafood Fricassee. All absolutely excellent. Nothing to even be grumpy about, couyldn't fault it. Friendly service, acceptable price, even very nice orange juice.

We visited The Denbigh 2 nights ago and had a very enjoyable experience. This is the 2nd time we have visited this pub whilst staying with family in Bexhill-on-Sea and on both occasions we have not been disappointed. This time my husband and I had the Vietnam Curry - which we can highly recommend. We really cannot see why it doesn't have a higher rating, we would love a pub with this standard of food in Wokingham!

Turned up for a 5pm Sunday booking to find they had booked us in for lunch. Finally got a table, waited 30 minutes to order and no drink order taken in the meantime. When we came to order half the menu wasn’t available. Walked out. Complete joke of a restaurant

Recommended by our B&B on first day of lockdown relaxation ! Food was excellent , home cooked and beautifully presented. The landlady was training up a new member of staff and the service we had from all was superb. We were visiting from a village on the outskirts of Salisbury where we live and wish we had a Pub like this on our doorstep !Hope to revisit again.

Great food and great new garden but they must avoid asking customers to use the NHS app. This is voluntary and not law

Always wanted to visit and did today. .Food was lovely, we had the mojito chicken burger, vegan curry and pork roast. All nicely cooked hot and flavoursome. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Will be returning.

Visited here on 2nd May with 3 friends. We sat outside due to covid restrictions and had a table under the pergola. The new garden area is lovely and we had a heater directly above our table. We all opted for the roast trio, the plates came out piping hot and the food was cooked to perfection. We then all had deserts which were delicious too. Thank you for great meal, will thoroughly recommend.

Ordered dinner for Mother's Day for 5pm. Delivered on time,,,lovely and hot...really nice! Desserts were incredible and the presentation was too. Top marks to The Denbigh and look forward to visiting when you can reopen.

Wow, what a lovely meal delivered to our door. Really hot, generous portions and all delicious. I highly recommend. Thank you.

Our daughter’s birthday. No where open for take away lunch but on the net we found the Denbigh. Good selection off the menu, about half an hour wait, delivered to our door free of charge and arrived hot and tasty. Well recommended,

Caters for all the vegan moroccan stew was lovely as was my husbands steak not very expensive for the amount of food we ate

Had lunch today with my elderly parents, the staff were lovely and very patient. Sanitisers were at the door and no-one was walking around, everyone was wearing masks and keeping a distance, if you book online you give your phone number so they can trace you. We felt very safe. There was a wait for the food but that was because it was made fresh and you could tell it was fresh, no microwave deep fried rubbish. It was tasty, seemed home cooked, and large portions. The decor is a bit dated but what do you expect at the moment, I'm just glad they're managing to stay open so we all have somewhere to go. Will definitely be going back.

Firstly NO Track and Trace in place when three of us visited the Denbigh .I have been coming to this pub for fourteen years , although not on a regular basis. And unfortunately my last visit made me feel that everything needs updating. From the carpet and decor, which neither has changed in that time . To the menu which is the same as it was a good couple of years back . The service is very slow, not in a relaxed way but inefficient and the food, although ok is now just average. Which is a real shame . The table where we ate indoors had food on the floor, and as the pub was not busy I think that should have been noticed and dealt with.This pub is alright for a pint in the garden but doubt I will be eating there again . Think maybe the owners need to add a little organisation and structure into their business and bring it back to the standard it used to be

Went here recently for an evening meal and have to say, food mediocre, service slow! The whole place is dark and very dated!! Came here about 15 years ago to visit elderly relatives (who are no longer with us) and the carpet was the same then!!! Come on Denbigh, room for improvement and updates!!

We went to the Denbigh for lunch. There were six of us and we had prebooked. We arrived at 12.30pm and were shown to our table. Waited 45 min for someone to come and take the drinks and food order. The drinks arrived aster 25mins and then 10 min after that the food arrived. The cutlery and serviettes were in a glass on the table which were jammed in so tight that when one of us tried to get a serviette out of the glass tipped over and broke. Someone came to clear it up and stated that it always happens. Lessons to be learned perhaps.Someone came to give us more cutlery and had the cutlery in a pouch in her apron and she took the cutlery out of the pouch and gave it to all of us with bare hands. In view of the current Covid 19 pandemic how this can be hygienic on any level is beyond us.One of the party ordered chicken curry and when it arrived contained an extremely large bone which clearly had to have been there at the very beginning of the curry preparation.Someone came to clear our table when two of our party were still eating which is rude if nothing else.Another wait of 20 mins before someone came and asked us if we wanted to order desserts.When we ordered the deserts we also ordered two drinks which never arrived.Another 20 mins before the desserts arrived and then we had to wait again for cutlery to be brought.Asked for the bill to pay and waited another 15 min before the bill came.Overall the customer service was non existent. Never have we had to wait so long for everything.Will not be going back to the Denbigh any time soon.

Spotted this little gem by their “Moulles Frites” roadside sign and so glad we went in!Straight away the staff made you fell very welcome and seated us on a lovely table in their garden. My daughter and I ordered the Moulles Frites (smaller size for my daughter), my wife had the sea bass special and my youngest daughter ordered the chipilatas children’s meal. The mussels were beautiful and incredibly fresh, my wife’s sea bass was amazing and my youngest daughter loved her meal too - which must be a good sign as she’s a fussy little madam!!!The owner of the restaurant is like a busy bee... she cannot do enough to make sure her patrons are happy. We spoke to the locals too and it’s clear to see why they visit this place time and time again.Whenever we’re coming through Bexhill again, we’ll make a point of popping in!

Just had scampi and chips and the delicious Denbigh burger delivered tonight. Delivered promptly and safely. The food was divine and all the side dishes of salad and coleslaw were all super tasty. Everything was though fully packed and the food was hot as well as delicious. Thank you Denbigh staff.

I went here for a pre-Christmas meal in December (set menu choices were brilliant) and then a celebratory meal at New Year and the whole experience was faultless on both occasions. I have just seen they have launched local home delivery and I am so pleased!It has long been my favourite pub in the area, with a good beer garden and good quality food and service. The menu is varied and caters well for children and vegetarians. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and have always made us very welcome. I hope the new delivery service is the great success it deserves to be.

Booked for 1pm, but arrived 10 minutes early. We were seated and served promptly we ordered straight away - 2 roasts. We waited for 45 minutes, in that time we saw only 7 meals being served! At this time we asked the waitress about our meals and she said she would ask the chef, he said we were next. However 5 minutes later a table of 6 were served lunch, the waitress apologised and said the chef had been wrong but we were definitely next. We eventually got our roasts. I could understand if they were very busy but as mentioned before only 7 meals ( 2 of them soup and a sandwich) came out in 45 mins!!

1st visit and love the place! A proper traditional pub. Old fellas at the bar swapping yarns, a mix of family groups and couples, not too big not too small, alcoves and a mix of stools and tables, music not too loud, got busier as the evening went on with people just enjoying chatting in their small groups. Just felt like a great ‘local’ pub with a warm welcome and friendly customers and staff.Please, don’t ever change the carpet or the bathroom suite in the ladies (according to my wife), the tables weren’t sticky and the portion of chips were great! We’ll eat properly next time

We visit Denbigh monthly with a group of friends and it has also become our lunch spot of choice when in the area. The atmosphere is like something out of the 1950s, friendly, relaxed, very attentive staff, a good range of beers, and books and board games available for those who want them. The food is surprisingly good, and we especially recommend the duck and avocado salad. This is NOT a gastro pub, it’s much better and more genuine than that!

The six of us had a wonderful meal on Christmas Eve, beautifully presented,very tasty and piping hot.We had a few changes to the menu for our mum, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It was so nice to be looked after by staff who genuinely care rather than it be a corporate formalityThank you all for helping us start our Christmas in such a lovely way.

No improvement.Old worn and dated carpet, sticky tables and mediocre loos.Re the food why don't they admit the meat is from catering packs? Prove otherwise by displaying the locally produced meat! Pathetic ploughmans with inferior ham. What if I may ask is Curry goat? When I drive by it seems often to be on the sign. To be honest it doesn't sound, appealing. Sink some money in and buy locally produced meat and fish and produce and dump catering packs, so obvious when the thin sliced beef is all the same size and shape.

Stopped off here on the way home from visiting family. Was very busy for a Sunday asked for a table for 2 the lovely young lady showed us to a table. We ordered the beef it was rather a large portion but well worth it. Beef cooked to perfection. Staff were brilliant and could not fault in anyway.. We did not order a dessert but some of the ones coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and we will be back.

The Denbigh is currently only one of two pubs open in the Little Common area, as The Wheatsheaf is undergoing refurbishment. Whilst a long established pub, the interior of the Denbigh is small, cozy and welcoming. However, the same cannot be said of the restaurant, as you have to go up 4 very steep stairs to reach it and the decor is very poor.The menu offering is limited, (as you might expect) with a special promotion 'Sausage Week' currently on offer. The food was quite good - flavour and presentation wise, but not exceptional. The service is not great either - no offer of dessert or coffee, we were just left with the dirty plates for a time - so honestly I would think twice before I go back there.If the revamped Wheatsheaf opens with a decent food service, the Denbigh will be the first to notice a downturn in its restaurant business.

First visit and impressed with friendly staff, environment and Food. There seemed to be popular themed nights including pie night and I was told Sunday lunch was worth booking in for. I'll be back.

I had a lovely time with my family and friends for my special 70th birthday celebrations. The food was lovely and there was enough for everybody. The punch was quite small and not quite enough for each person in the room. I was disappointed that they have not cleared out the storage chairs, drinking glasses, jugs etc at the back of the room. It is a sore sight and does not look nice for my guests, it was an embarrassment for me. We had three little children all under the age of 5, the storage area was not safe for them, we had to keep an eye on them at all times.

We both had Sunday roasts and they were tasty, with roast potatoes cooked in dripping, beef cooked properly (not overcooked) and veg. The staff seemed very attentive. Gluten free diet catered for. Will visit again.

Good menu choices and selection of Sunday roasts. Food was piping hot, great crispy roast potatoes and plenty of gravy. Efficient, friendly, helpful staff and prompt service although they were very busy at Sunday lunch time. Had specials which looked very good as well. Nice atmosphere.

Found on trip advisor as was in area, highly recommended. Great host behind bar, quick service with quality food. Egg ham and chips with salad, vegan shepherd pie and jacket potato with avocado.

Great meal, had the fish pie, very tasty. Pleasant and friendly service in a comfortable atmosphere. Spotless loos and bar

One of the problems here is that the owners don't put money back into the pace.

I hate to write a bad review, but this is thoroughly deserved.

Good pub in a nice location. Good range of drinks and food in an old worldly atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Called in yesterday with my husband. Didn’t want a big meal so we ordered the mixed Ploughman’s and a Pork, stuffing and apple sandwich on a baguette.. Food arrived after waiting longer than expected for the very simple food ordered, plus it wasn’t busy. Ploughman’s looked lovely. The smell of mine wasn’t very nice. I open my sandwich to find what I can only call disgusting . The meat looked like supermarket pre packed pork wafer thin slices that had clearly been microwaved! It was dark, shrivelled and full of fat. It really was disgusting. I called the owner over( tall very slim lady) and showed her. She looked in astonishment and apologised stating she would re new it. I requested I didn’t want the same and I would have the same mixed ploughman’s as my husband., and pay the difference. She said she wouldn’t charge me anymore. I waited once again a while longer. When the food arrived, there was a tiny piece of cheese and no coleslaw. The pickled onions were dark brown and slimy. I ate what I could and left the rest. The lady came over once I had finished and asked if everything was ok with the replacement. I told her about items missing so she said she would discount our bill too. When we paid the bill, as well as only charging for a pork sandwich instead of a ploughman’s, and then giving a 30% discount, this makes me wonder how they survive. Yes, financially it was to our advantage( although our lunchtime treat was a disadvantage with the disappointment of the quality of food served) This pub looks great from the outside, very “ with it “ and welcoming. Inside is old, the toilets were dirty and had a musty smell, tables were wiped down with a dry cloth and spray bottle. Not your good old fashioned clean soapy water, hence why the table mats stuck to the sticky dirty tables. This pub could be so much more with dedicated owners and staff with a passion to serve good quality food and cleanliness. Unfortunately, I won’t be going again

Great Sunday lunch. Very friendly team and good for families. Really tasty food. We all enjoyed the Sunday roast and the Crab salad.

Ate here whilst visiting area - 10 mins walk from Little Common. Husband had huge plate of really well cooked fish and chips and I had jacket potato with prawns. All very fresh and delicious. Harveys beer was top notch too. Highly recommend.

Called here on Sunday for a roast dinner early evening - Excellent service and everything was delicious. Roast beef and roast pork very flavoursome with a beautiful gravy. Roasties cooked in dripping with fresh selection of veggies and all the trimmings. Served on red hot plates. Hubby had the Breton bread and butter pudding with ice cream and orange drizzle. I had strawberry ice cream with a shot of Sherry - fabulous. Lovely ambience, pretty garden, helpful efficient staff.

This pub has a wide choice of food to suit most people. It is reasonably priced and the service is excellent.

I stopped here again for lunch went for the steak and kidney pudding with mash and vegetables it’s still fantastic warm wellcome as I came into the pub would like to see ref to the review about the pudding the customer before didn’t like it don’t believe the bad reviews of the little gem of a pub I sat out in the beer garden this afternoon so nice just to chill wasn’t rushed in my meal so thank you to all at the Denbigh Hastings your the best love mr cheeky in Kent

Took our Belgian friends there recently, had to wait at the bar for over 5 minutes before someone appeared, it was like the Marie Celeste.

Nice local pub, good menu choices and selection of drinks, although the wine is a little more expensive than elsewhere. Quiz nights are good, with good quality nibbles included and a a great atmosphere. Dog friendly Nice garden.

Dog friendly staff and pub, great food, especially the roasts. Unsurprisingly can bet busy so might be worth booking a table first. Nice selection of Ciders, Beers and wines. Great smaller pub.

We had spent the day walking around Bexhill and stopped off for a drink. Good choice of beers and Gin, the garden was lovely so decided to eat there.

Cosy pub, dog friendly, great food, great service and Shaun and Mindy go the extra mile to ensure that all is perfect. Thank you so much.

Always good service from all the staff. Food is good quality and tastes amazing. Food is freshly cooked to order. Well worth a visit and very good value for your money.

This pub is within walking distance from my mother. You have to book as it gets really busy. The food is brilliant,such a selection. Good for a snack at the bar or a meal.

Lovely little local Pub, great food options, regular quiz and nice warm and friendly service. Good selection of wines and beers.

After a disappointing Sunday lunch at the Cooden Beach Hotel Brassiere, the following day we went to The Denbigh where we all had an excellent pub lunch for little more than half of what we paid at the Brassiere with good service and friendly staff.

We went to Denbigh for a family lunch. Food was nice but nothing special.. I don’t think we would go there again just because there are other places in the area we like more.

I was invited by two elderly ladies who are neighbours and had frequented The Denbigh previously. It was a good recommendation. It appears that the menu changes regularly since having downloaded the menu, the menu offered today was different. An excellent choice of Mains which should cater for all tastes from Steak, Roast to Penang Curry. The portions were very generous, very hot plates, separate vegetables and excellent quality for the reasonable price. We all had the daily roast. The desert menu again was varied The restaurant area was very busy and we had booked which was worthwhile. Very spacious car park. Very friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely revisit.

Very good food and service. Will be going back soon. The roast beef was first class and the wife had the fish pie which was perfect. Staff were helpful even with my elderly mother.

Stop in here for food and drinks regularly and have never been anything but chuffed. Lots of choice on the menu, always tastes good and they’re willing to meet any special or dietary requirements. Cosy pub indoors with nice outside space. Friendly staff. Good all round!

We have visited the Denbigh many times having moved to the area three years ago. The food is home cooked and I thoroughly recommend the curries and also the Shredded Duck Salad - delicious! Prices are reasonable for the food produced on a well presented plate.

Booked a table 6 days before our visit for 6.30 . We were eating early as our 11 year Grandson was with us with our Son and Daughter in law as they were visiting from London and this was our treat for an early Christmas present.

Enjoyed a family lunch here. Excellent choices on the menu. Gluten free options and very good children's choices. Friendly service.

We went to the Denbigh for a family birthday, we were impressed with the service and the quality of the food was excellent , highly recommend the steak & kidney pudding, crab was excellent as was the smoked salmon and all very resonable

It was our wedding anniversary and what a good way to celebrate. Attentive, excellent service from arrival to departure, no waiting around, drinks order taken immediately and delicious food, served on hot plates (always a good sign,) served quickly. The menu was mouth wateringly tempting, the chicken curry was really good and the cheesecake was the best we have ever had. This is much more than just a pub that serves food. highly recommended and we will be returning.;.

Lovely homemade food, decent portions and although slightly pricier than my normal pub lunch, it was good quality. Service was a little slow but we weren’t in a hurry.

Kitchen being refurbished so out for evening meal. Traditional style pub with excellent food and service. They also do fish nights which will need trying.

Absolutely delightful food, in a pleasant pub - we booked from a distance and weren't sure what to expect. The pub itself is nice, with a warm atmosphere, but the back room that we were put in as a big party seemed a little tired. So we were very pleased with the quality of food and service that transpired. Lots of variety on the menu, and all 10 of us really enjoyed our meals. Will definitely return if down this way again.

We have eaten here about 30 times over the past 5 years & the food has always been perfect.

As a frequent visitor to the area for many years, I have eaten at The Denbigh on numerous occasions and it was once a family favourite. The last 2 times I have eaten there however I have been really disappointed. The most recent of which, last week, we found our food to be luke warm, tasteless and looked as though it had been heated in a microwave. The service was slow, staff were clearly new and inexperienced, which is fine, but we were given wrong information regarding a meal which meant that a member of my family could not eat their meal. Very disappointing and sadly I don’t think we will be returning.

Mid week evening visit with friends. Good selection of wines and beers. Small menu with varied choices. Service prompt and v.good. Food served of high standard and enjoyed by all. Would recommend.

We had dinner here with friends and had a starter and main course. The Lebanese chicken was lovely and the portion was a good size. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff friendly and attentive. We have visited on several occasions and have never been disappointed.

Had booked a table, for two people, on a Sunday lunch time.

Quality food, a little expensive but good service and great grub. There is enough variety to please most people and it's clear the cook so his/her onions.

I have visited this place on a few occasions recently, and found it pleasant. Lovely place to sit with an early evening drink. I have tried a few of the dishes on their menu, rather interesting and some a little strange. Lovely cheesy chips, and the jacket potatoes are good. Will keep trying as it's a very nice venue. The staff seem to be friendly and caring, which is always good.

Great service, home cooked food and good value for money. Would recommend, nothing to fault. Have been a few times but forgot to leave a review. Have not had a bad meal here.

Last day staying locally and we found this, a little walk from where we were staying and we arrived at 14.15 (they close at 15.00, the whole place) but we ordered and sat in the garden (very nice). My wife order a dressed crab salad, which came with chips and all the trimmings, I ordered a steak baguette with a bowl of chips, the baguette came with all the trimmings as well. We both enjoyed what we had. Would we go back, we certainly would.

I stopped here again today for lunch on business we found are self this way and as I had been here before back in 8 June 2016 thought I had a great time then this time the food was still fantastic with fantastic warm wellcome was greeted when we came in wasn’t busy when we came in this pub is the best in Sussex you have to try it great value for money great service so a very big thank you love mr cheeky in Kent

We had my dad’s 91st birthday meal here, we sat in the bar area due to his mobility issues, but it was so hot. We mentioned it to the lady serving and she said we could undo the windows but it was locked, and there was no air in there at all. Dad had a funny turn and had to go outside for air which wasn’t great with the mobility issues. We thought perhaps we could have dessert in the garden but there was no shade. Possibly having the doors open would’ve been nice.

looking at some of the reviews, lots of happy customers, so I hate to do this , but I must express my disappointment, with my food @the Denbigh.

Over rated meal......, nice pub that does pub Food, restaurant not great. Visited on 2 occasions to be disappointed on both occssions

Thought we would stop here to have a drink as we passed through. My first impression was it was a cute pub. However I can only describe my experience as toe curling. The staff don’t seem to know anything and because of this the landlady...

17 of us booked to eat in the garden of this great dog friendly pub. The manager could not have been more accommodating, the food was wholesome, well cooked and varied in type. Everyone of our party left having had a great meal at good value and we would wholeheartedly recommend this pub for those looking for true quality food rather than the more prissy fine dining, eaten in a friendly pub atmosphere.

My wife and I are on holiday in bexhill and come the The Denbigh for dinner as the food is really really good and it is a cosy atmosphere (plus we love the fact that we can bring our dog with us into the bar area and still eat from the full menu).

Certainly the best Roast Lamb and Roast Beef my hubby and I have had in a very long time!! The vegetables were excellent, fresh and tasty, perfect roast potatoes and lovely gravy.

There are some nice seats in the bar area to sit- one with a lovely bay window seat where we have sat with our dog before. They are very welcoming at this popular pub/restaurant. They also try different things on their menu like Carribean dishes.

I ve been visiting the denbigh on an almost daily basis for the past 3 months and really enjoyed it there even though the service is incompetent by seemingly untrained staff yet they re friendly and I accepted it as we all have to start somewhere. Last night we had a meal there once again and our table was approached by a gentleman with a bulldozer attitude throwing a bill on the table stating " you have an unpaid bill from friday" No hello excuse me pardon me or anything resembling decency and manners. I queried this and stated we ve never left here before without settling any bill be it cash or card and adding generous tips with every payment. Recollecting the horrific experience and the manner with which it was handled . The penny dropped. We were overcharged on that friday and we queried the bill before paying. A new bill was issued which we settled. The old double charged bill obviously wasn t cancelled and placed into the till as owing. Won t be going there ever again . The gentleman who approached us obviously was the landlord with no tact or manners accusing us of not paying a bill in front of everybody. My advice to him would be learn some manners and approach sensitive matters with more tact than your present bombastic way. Next time call somebody aside to talk to them. To let everyone know our bill last night was £32 and I rounded it off to £60 with the gratuity. For a £22 "unpaid" bill the denbigh has lost customers that have spent near enough to £1000.00 in meals and drinks there over the last 3 months

Had an impromptu mid week lunch some time ago with a work colleague as the sign outside caught our eyes. Sat out in the garden in the sunshine and had a few beers and two dozen oysters. Fantastic and fresh. Didn't bother going back to work lol!!

We live locally and booked in for an early evening Sunday roast as a treat. The area we were seated in was extremely hot as the wood burner was on unnecessarily. Our food and drink orders were taken. I do not eat meat so had a limited choice but requested the nut roast - my husband and father-in-law both ordered roast beef. A full 30 minutes later, one of the young waiting staff came to say neither the nut roast or nut burger were available - he said they are the same thing. Why did it take so long to discover this?! There are no other vegetarian options on the menu so I asked for fish pie. I was given the choice if the standard fish pie or a ‘special’ salmon & broccoli. I asked for the standard one and we all waited a while longer for our food. When it finally came, I had been given salmon & broccoli but was too hungry and fed up to send it back - perhaps the chef thought I wouldn’t notice my food was not what I ordered. The roast beef dinners were apparently very nice. The waitress asked if we would like dessert and we said yes, so she brought dessert menus then disappeared. From then, no one then seemed to be aware of our presence at all. We waited about half an hour then gave up and decided to abandon our ‘treat’, went to the bar to pay the bill and left. The one course we had was fine but the young waiting staff seemed completely clueless and untrained, and the choice for non meat eaters is poor, such a shame.

Visited the Denbigh with a friend. Had a meal in the restaurant area. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. I had a vegetarian main which was delicious. My friend had a plentiful duck salad. My sticky toffee pudding was exceedingly good. Highly recommended for both food and a great place to have a drink.

Had a 60th birthday party meal here and we all had a great time. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Place looks nice plenty of parking reasonably prices drinks. Only two negative comments plates weren't cleared quick enough pudding came out and we all had our main plates still...also toilet paper is VERY thin. Would return for drinks and a meal.

Didn't realise that I hadn't reviewed this place so here we go, last minute decision tonight to go and eat, excellent pub, good beer, friendly service and we both had the steak and kidney pudding, couldn't really fault it.

Called to the Denbigh last night- no reservation. They were busy but asked us to wait a few minutes and...
