The Gun in Wealden

Amazing food. Great service. Thanks Pop! Highly recommended gastropub. Whole of the family very very happy. Will return.

What a lovely pub. It was my birthday so 4 of us wanted lunch somewhere away from our usual haunts. We all had mains desserts & coffees. We all agreed the food service atmosphere were superb. Definitely would come again

Lovely variety of food for a wide range of tastes and requirements. Served by the patient and graceful Nora, who was attentive and helpful.

Very little choice for Gluten Free and staff were completely disinterested, verging on surly. My GF pasta was stuck together in clumps (as GF pasta is wont to do if not cooked carefully). I've used this pub a lot in the past, but I won't go again

We went to the Gun with friends and had a really enjoyable meal. We were served by Julia who was welcoming & helpful which made everything that little bit more special.

We had an excellent lunch with beautiful views of the Sussex countryside. Really friendly and helpful staff, even on a busy Sunday lunch! Pop served us and was really great! We are both vegan and had great options including a roast dinner which was amazing and a pizza too!

We love going to The Gun - never disappoints. The service and food are second to none. Our waitress, the lovely Julia, is superb and knows how to make you feel welcome, and looks after you very well. My family love their fillet steak which is always delicious and, again, top notch. We can't praise this restaurant enough. the Monk family xx

Really lovely food, great service and Julia our server added greatly to the experience! One of our favourite pubs in the area!

An impromptu visit, very busy on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and helpful. Food was delicious, full of fresh flavours, a lot of local fayre. Will definitely return. Thanks to Andreea at front of house.

Lovely pub with fabulous food. Our server, Julia, ensured we had everything we needed, and was helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

I had booked here for my partner's birthday, we also knew that we would have an amazing experience here. I had informed them that it was his birthday when booking our table. When we arrived we were welcomed and taken to our table, the menu looked good, our hostess Andrea was attentive and very lovely. The food was amazing, there was a good range of vegetarian meals and when my gut loving bowl arrived I couldn't have been happier, the scallops were enjoyed by my partner and eldest son and even though I don't eat them, they did look good. Once our dessert order was taken, we had a chance to chat, they then bought out the desserts and the staff in the kitchen had taken the time to create a lovely birthday message for my partner's one. We cannot emphasise how lovely The Gun is, Andrea was superb and all I can say is thank you for making the lunch such a lovely event.

Sunday lunch was absolutely delicous! Great roasts with generous but sensible portions which left room for the really tempting desserts. The service provided by Julia was superb - friendly and helpful and just the right amount of time between each course. This is a lovely, dog-friendly pub and what a great idea it is to offer a Doggy Bowl! We'll definitely be back and so will Finley!

Great food, quickly seated friendly polite service from Julia.and Nora. Not long to wait for food. Dog friendly, we will return.

We just celebrated 2 birthdays with Sunday lunch at the Gun. We were a party of 10 with 3 kids under the age of 11 who are active and inpatient! From the minute we arrived the staff were on the ball acknowledging us immediately (taking away 2 birthday cakes for bringing out later with slickness and discretion) We were shown to a long table overlooking the garden and they settled us down and took our initial drinks order calming the initial chaos of family greeting each other . Drinks for the kids arrived swiftly and a bottle of bubbly plus special glasses duly arrived Staff were attentive and leaving us to toast the birthday boy and girl (40 years old !) for a few minutes returned to tease out our food orders. Their patience was exemplary as 10 people who were more Intent on catching up, gave their orders. After a short period the kids meals arrived, followed by the adult meals all hot, looking very appetising. More drinks orders were taken as required and the excellent quality and quantity meals were enjoyed. Special commendation due for the place and bream on the bone The fish skewer and of course the superb roast. The fussy eater kids also are their dishes without a murmur which was unusual. Plates were emptied and duly cleared and with out prompting 2 birthday cakes were presented with full staff choral accompaniment and pre lit. What a wonderful experience perfection Thanks Gun staff xxx

Booked table for family celebration with 9 adults and 4 children. Sat in the conservatory area overlooking large play area for the children. Chose our 3-course meals from selected summer menu which although not extensive was more than satisfactory. Restaurant was busy but our server (charge included in bill) was excellent.

Very lovely service, thank you, Julia! Very easy reservation and lovely ambient dining, good grub, good pub!

My second time with my 95 year old grandmother who lives close by and loves the Gun as her little outing as a treat and it's a real treat for us too. As an ex-restaurant owner I notice the little things and the Gun has always thought of everything. Good veggie and vegan food, good portion sizes, incredibly clean restaurant tables glasses and crockery, amazing food and impeccable service from everyone, today from Andrea and Julia. We'll be back soon to try the pizza!

What a cozy pub. I been to the Gun with some friends to meet up before Christmas and everything was so lovely. Really enjoyed the fireplace and the kebab. Thank you Julia for your help and for the drinks. Will be back soon with my family .

Visited here with a friend recently and although neither of us could fault the food, the service during our recent visit was not great. We were not offered any table water and despite sitting with empty glasses for quite some time, we were not offered any further drinks throughout the duration of our visit. We were not offered any coffees after our meals and were just presented with the bill. Previous visits have been much better.

Really enjoyed our pre Christmas Sunday lunch. Two roast dinners, lamb and beef with all the usual accompaniments. Also the duck which was especially delicious cooked as we like it, pink. Very friendly welcome from Julia who continued to look after us throughout our lunch. Thank you will be back

Lovely food and service - Amdreea was great and the food was well cooked and delicious. Good choice for various diets

Delicious food and good drinks selection. Great service. Our waitress Julia was very efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend The Gun

Really lovely country pub, great place for couples, friends or family. I went with two friends for xmas dinner, food was wonderful, a decent size and reasonably priced. Julia looked after us, made sure we had our drinks topped up and next courses on their way. She also went out of her way to help my friend too, amazing service. Would highly recommend!

We went to The Gun for a birthday with family and friends and the food was very tasty with a good selection of starters, mains and puddings. The service was really good our waitress was Julia who has served up on previous visits. She is always very helpful and happy. We have always had good experiences when we have eaten here.

Fantastic food, great choices of wine and excellent service. We took my elderly Nan who can be a bit fiesty and Julia our waitress was amazing with her, thank you :)

The service here is really good. We had a lovely meal and we couldn’t ask for more from the staff. We had Julia serving us, she was really lovely x

Great food and our server Julia was attentive and friendly. Enjoyed it. We had chicken skewer and steak. Both were wonderful

A big thank you to Julia for making our luncheon today so enjoyable. Service was fantastic, food was delicious and atmosphere 100%. Will certainly be going back. We arrived at lunchtime and were not pressured to leave - therefore we stayed longer than anticipated- when we left it was dark!!! Only criticism is that the car park is not very well lit and that may be an issue for people dining in the evening. Apart from this everything was superb.

We been the other for and we had exactly what we wanted. Me and my boyfriend we had the steak which was divine.Big thanks to Nora and Julia for help. See you soon

We always come here and it never disappoints. Julia and Nora served us and they are always friendly and helpful. My other half’s family came and they are Italian and they wanted pictures and Julia took loads. Thank you. She even spoke to them in...

We were fitted in on Sunday afternoon. We all enjoyed the service and food and will certainly return to experience your varied menu. Barrie

We had never visited before despite living fairly closely and we’ve been missing out! We went for the 3 course festive menu and it was fabulous. Our waitress Julia was great and so friendly. Our 3yr old son enjoyed the colouring pack he was given....

Impressive pub/eaterie that majors on its food. Part of Elite Pubs chain friendly staff, great service and superb menu. They even make their own and have a wood-fired pizza oven. Food first class. Not cheap but value for money

We called into this lovely pub hoping that had a table available for lunch. We were warmly greeted, shown to a table and served very attentively by Julia throughout. The food was excellent and served at the right pace as we only had an hour...

Great food and excellent value. Our waitress Julia was friendly, helpful and efficient! I would come again!!!

We had hoped we would be in time for the Sunday roast but sadly many mouths had devoured the yummy food before we got there. This did not dampen our mood and with the wonderful staff being highly attentive and friendly, especially our waitress Jiulia,...

What a fantastic place! The food was different without being 'weird" & really tasty. All the staff were really polite & courteous but not over the top. Our server, Julia, was especially great, attentive with us without being 'sickly sweet', just normal interaction with a...

We had a lovely birthday lunch at the Gun. The whole experience surpassed our expectations which was great! The atmosphere was friendly, the decor comfortable and stylish, the food and portions were excellent. A special mention for Julia our delightful waitress who couldn’t have been...

We needed an evening out to celebrate a nephew's 21st birthday and his girl friend, on a no-fuss basis. What better place than The Gun! It has changed over the last forty years but still has a varied menu and some flavour surprises too. The...

The most amazing food, so tasty. Julia and Mike made us feel so welcome, very attentive. Definitely be back!

Fabulous food and gorgeous setting. Started with heavenly chorizo, followed by chicken skewers and finished with shared pudding of waffles, banana and toffee sauce which was divine.

Got upgraded to a little villa outside. It was fantastic. We could play our own music and it was warm and decorated beautifully. Had the best time. Thank you

Family meal.. Never fails to dissapoint, and tonight was no exception! Been coming here to this lovely unique pub for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience. Great food, !! Polite professional and very attentive and amazing customer experience l! Well done...

A lovely atmosphere with a great choice of food. Sydnie and Norie were lovely servers and were very knowledgeable about the menu, ingredients and allergens.

We absolutely love this pub, we have been quite a few times over the last couple of years and have never had a bad meal! The last few times we have been served by Julia who is always smiling, chatty and super helpful. She also...

I normally eat here and have never had any issues, we ate outside which was lovely, but they got our order wrong, I ordered lamb and got beef which they changed, and my partner paid £21 for a roast platter with even less meat than...

food and service was great Julia was very friendly and accommodated a slightly bigger group than the one we had booked for.

The most dreadful vegan roast we have ever eaten. No nut roast option, just the most disgusting 2 slices of plastic looking beef alternative. We had three sprouts, three half roast potatoes a couple of carrots and what appeared to be two tiny slices of...

Lots to choose from on a very varied menu, catering for small and large appetites. Pleasant surroundings and ambience and a very helpful and friendly waitress, Andreea.

Perfect thin sourdough pizza! Staff was verry friendly and lovely atmosphere! Absolutely worth to vissit Julia our waitress was super friendly and helpfull

Nice to know that 85%of the food is sourced within 25 miles of the pub. Food and drinks were very good, topped of with great hospitality. Thanks for giving us a lovely evening Julia!

Had a great lunch nice roast dinners and a calzone great service from Julia would deffo go for lunch there again

We went for Friday dinner with friends. You can access it from a good public footpath which certainly when the weather is good is worth doing "wealden walkway". Service was excellent as always. Thank you Julia for looking after us. Food was good, it's been...

We found The Gun on a beautiful august day and couldn’t have had a better place for a long lazy family lunch. The food was excellent, 5 different mains all well cooked and seasoned. The service excellent. Well worth a short or long visit!

Boring food Check you’re drinks . Measures were iffy Gin measure was under but the put so much ice in so you couldn’t see White wine warm

We had a lovely meal for my birthday. Julia our waitress was just so kind and helpful with explaining some of the dishes. Food was amazing too!

We had a lovely time at the gun, catching up with family. We had delicious starters and mains and the portions were very generous. Julia was on hand to get us everything we could possibly need

We went to visit the for a few a drinks, we walked ;). Decided to stay for a meal before the walk home. The restaurant was fully booked for a work party however we were welcomed by Julia who was a warm and welcoming host...

Really lovely meal, very attentive waitress called Julia. One of our favourite pubs for food, atmosphere and strawberry daiquiris!

Had an early evening meal with friends brilliant service by Julia who was so friendly and helpful and didn't make us feel rushed. All the dishes we had were lovely including the desserts and will return for another visit. Plenty of parking.

Lovely lunch celebrating a birthday on a very warm busy September day. Excellent service from very friendly staff. We were waited on mainly by Julia who was great, as were other staff including at the bar. Would definitely go back. Recommend the King Prawn Nachos...

We were a group of 4 adults. Lots of delicious options to choose from the menu including vegan dishes. We each had a main and a dessert and soft drinks. It was an extremely warm day, they were very very busy but the staff were...

Visited for the first time for lunch and we were blown away by the quality of food, service and ambience. Our server Julia was lovely and attentive in the right measure. The menu offers good variety in taste and portion size. My companion's burger was...

The food was tasteless and of poor quality particularly the fish and chips at £17 was outrageous. It was clearly cooked from frozen. The separate cod dish was equally bad at £23. Service was poor. Puddings varied in size. The crumble served at one table...

Lived in Eastbourne for years and had heard of The Gun but never visited, until yesterday . What a lovely pub, with lovely views, really good food, great service and very helpful staff . Definitely will be going back very soon .

We’ve been going the the gun since at least 5 years, for birthdays or anniversary. Always been seating outside because on the nice weather and nice terrace in summer. Always been served by a waiter/waitress. My husband booked a table for my birthday yesterday and...

This is one of our locals and we have never had a bad time here. The food is always great and the service is always super friendly. We normally get served by Andrea or the manager. Both are great. the locally sourced menu is lovely.

Party of 7 made up of 3 kids and 4 adults of which 1 is vegan, so plenty to challenge! Served by Julia. Food and drinks arrived quickly and 7 clear plates speak for themselves. Absolutely no complaints and would thoroughly recommend.

The Gun's menu is quite extensive and they were easily able to cope with a guest with a dairy intolerance. The food was delish, and Julia, our waitress, was very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Recommended venue.

Great place! We’ve been plenty of times with friends and family. Really good food and fabulous staff: super-friendly, warm and personal (special nod to you, Julia!). The kids love it because they get yummy pasta and pizza (gluten-free and vegan cheese!) and can run in...

Such a great spot, really enjoyed a family celebration and Julia was so kind and helpful! Thank you to the lovely team

Came here for dinner as a short walk from our campsite. Very impressed with the quality of the food and service. Started with tasty spicy aubergine babaganoush and the garlic flatbread. This was followed by an excellent delicious rump of lamb and the calzone pizza...

Bloody Amazing! Fantastic customer service, outstanding quality food! It was a lovely atmosphere when we first walked in; it had an amazing smell and such friendliness! We sat at a lovely out the way table which was very homely and inviting. The ladies who served...

I’m surprised at reading some of the less positive reviews and honestly they seem a little petty. I have been a regular at The Gun for a number of years and find the food, staff and ambience consistency great. It’s a perfect peaceful location and...

Delicious food great atmosphere Been for two nights running and consistently good! Pizza is really good and the bass was great Family friendly garden for the children

We have spent the summer visiting local pubs for the first time. This will be our 4th visit to The Gun today, this time to experience their Sunday lunch. Previously we have sat in their gorgeous garden and inside when raining, eating amazing Prawn Nachos,...

Very nice food and location. Lovely garden and interior. Julia was very helpful and lovely. Would thoroughly recommend.

Julia is an exquisite server with unmatched capabilities. Her chat is on point, and although I did not choose her recommended dessert (I went for the cheese which was great), she forgave me. Long love Julia.

Stopped by on a beautiful midweek lunchtime for a glass of wine and some country ambience. We love the location and the patio is always a pleasure to relax, but unfortunately the wine was warm. Yes, we could have kicked up, but paying a reasonable...

Came here for a family celebration. Staff were really friendly and attentive. lots of choice on the menu, most of the party opted for the roast beef Sunday lunch and it didn't disappoint! Puddings were equally amazing, highly recommend the chocolate brownie! We had 3...

We have been coming here for a few years now, walking from our caravan site in Chiddingly across the fields to this unique country pub. Friday fish and chips for two plus a bottle of wine for £40 great value. I only gave it 4...

The service was slow at the bar but it was welcoming. Good woodfired sourdough pizza! (which is why we went) Lovely location

We have been served by a nice young lady who took care of us to feel welcome. Thank you, Julia. :) PS: the garden and the view is amazing and peaceful.

Had a business lunch at The Gun today. Food was delicious and didn't take long. Our server Andreea was fantastic.

We were calibrating our wedding anniversary and had adelicious meal, service was friendly. Only down side was young unsupervised children running in and out.

Delicious food, unfortunately let down by questionable service, additional training required. - when asked what Elderflower options were available, the answer was ‘I don’t know’ I had to ask her to find out, she didn’t offer and was given plenty of time to do so....

Always a good dinner at The Gun. Met up with a friend for catch up and a burger (I recommend). Meals always made enjoyable by great service, thank you Julia!

Visited here tonight, it was okay, the food was fine but the service was chaotic with waitresses not able to make up there mind what was going on, they were indecisive, gave other dinners the wrong information regarding dogs in the pub, left diners food...

We really enjoyed our time here. Went here last Saturday after some of our friends recommended this place. I can tell that we were Not disappointed! The food tasting very good, fresh and well cooked and the fact that we didn't have to wait for...

We had a fabulous family lunch to celebrate my birthday yesterday. Service was friendly and very efficient. The food was great and the pub itself is beautifully decorated and cozy. Outside there is a great play area for the little ones to let off some...

We all had a fabulous meal (from a great and varied menu) at this place and were all very well looked after, in a very friendly, relaxed manner by a wonderful lass called Julia. The whole place made a great impression on us and we...

Although I have lived within 10 miles of this pub all my life somehow it has eluded me so today we put it right. It has a very large indoor seating area but an even larger outdoor eating and play area. If you have children...
