The Heron in Wealden

Visited this traditional locals pub after finishing a walk. Friendly staff, good real ales and the roast chicken was nicely cooked. Will visit again when im in the area.

Popped in for a meal and pint, Unfortunately there was no food available that day .Very helpful staff a couple of bags of crisps an a great pint saved the visit. Good selection of ales .Dog friendly .

Amazing place good prices very clean amazing garden

Fantastic little pub, great staff and service . Sadly I can't provide star award for food as kitchen is temporarily closed although when open, will be brilliant as the landlady has very high standards

Nice pub, good location. Chef was unwell sadly but we did get some cheesy chops and they were good. Beer selection very good, staff friendly. Nice small but sunny garden.

Popped in here recently when we were camping in the area. It was a Thursday evening and we full of locals. We were made to feel sooooo welcome by the owners. We joined in 'Sticky card bingo' which was really fun. We came back another evening to eat and the food was lovely. Would recommend and will defo pop in again id we are in the area

A lovely roast served by lovely people

Reluctantly giving this great venue a Google *5 review - only because we want to keep it our “local” secret 🤣 Such a welcoming and friendly proper pub with exceptional homemade food - our fur baby Ted was most impressed with his treats as well - and the service from Teresa and James was attentive and impeccable. We’ll be back for the live entertainment 8-piece band later this month. Thanks for a great impromptu Sunday lunch and the Stray Dogs. Petra and Steve

Excellent food, lovely staff and reasonable prices. It was nice to see the pub being so well supported by locals. Had a vibrant atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

First time in the heron after moving to the area... fantastic atmosphere, great live music... back on Wednesday for the darts

Have been there for drinks on the evening, not eaten there in the evening but the roasts look amazing! Went there for breakfast, as you’d expect from the lovely landlady, a great welcome and hospitality. And the food was just excellent, good quality produce, well cooked and good value…… what’s not to like?

We had a Sunday Roast at the heron at the beginning of Nad b with 10 friends and the food was amazing. It was cooked perfectly, we were all served together and the food came out hot The dessert was fabulous especially the Eton Mess. Teresa looked after us and she was attentive and helpful which added to our experience. Will definitely go back.

We visited with a group of friends for a Sunday roast, food was excellent but what made it even better was the service. Teresa looked after us and made sure our visit was a memorable one. Definitely worth the 5 stars.

Visited The Heron after a nice walk around Westam, in the mud 😂. Quick change of footware and into our pre reserved table. Had the Sunday Roast, lots of nice veg, lovely rosdt potatoes, tender meat and a nice Yorkshire pudding, with a side af lovely cheesy cauliflower cheese. Goos service and decent value for money, although soda and fresh lime, in my opinion, should be free, which they charge for unfortunately. Overall, a lovely dinner, dessert next time maybe, but were full on this occasion.

A lovely regular boozer, full of characters.The alcohol is reasonably priced and they do an exceptional pint of Guinness.

Re-discovered my local last weekend and had a very enjoyable Saturday evening at The Heron, such friendly and welcoming proprietors, staff and locals, and enjoyed a nice couple of pints of Harveys and the entertainment too..also booked a Sunday Roast for the following lunchtime, but was warned by staff that there were currently 'electricity problems'. Despite any probs and as a 'foodie' my roast beef dinner (and a choice of roasts on the menu too, aswell as other items} was absolutely fantastic and by far the most enjoyable I've ever had when eating out. Very large portions and such a wide selection of veg on my plate which was all beautifully cooked, nice beef (with some meatloaf too) and a big Yorkshire pud too, and I ordered some cauliflower cheese as an extra (£1.75, and a large portion also) . Great and friendly service and updates too.. Despite my large appetite and capacity for food, my only regret is that I didn't have room to fit in a dessert, and I was so nicely stuffed that I couldn't finish my pint of Harveys! Looking forward to the next time though, and highly recommended..Thank you all x

Local and friendly pub, parking. Great home-made food, good-sized garden, weekend live music, events, bingo, quiz night. Highly recommended!

We had Sunday lunch here yesterday, food was excellent, fresh & of good quality & home made. The atmosphere was great, good to see the village pub thriving. Very friendly welcoming staff, will definitely return, would highly recommend it.

Very good food staff were excellent was not rushed avery good evening would definitely recommend and go back again 😀

We were staying at the nearby campsite and picked up a flyer for this pub - Friday special for October, order 2 fish&chips and get a free bottle of prosecco. Say no more! But the big surprise was how vibrant and welcoming the pub was and then the meal: probably the best fish & chips we've ever had, lovely! I would happily have this as my local.

Sunday lunch in Pevensey. Very very small menu 3 starters and 5 or 6 mains. Looking for a roast but pictures on the wall inside after we sat down didn't look very appetising. So we opted for the burgers chips and salad. Took around 40 mins to come which was a surprise as it wasn't busy, but no big deal. Chips and been double dunked so totally full of oil, salad very plain just 1 type of mixed leaf with no dressing and no condiments on the table at all. Onion ring frozen cheap ones ( just buy a onion ) and do yourself. Coleslaw tasted of cheap mayonnaise which was a shame. But saying that the burger was very good, juicy with a nice taste. But a little undercooked in places which HEO wouldn't be happy about ( use a probe). Service nice a friendly apartment from the young lad helping just seemed very nervous. Hopefully he will relax more and enjoy the job. Would I go back NO But not the worse meal I've ever had.

My sister in law told me about the Pork Belly at the Heron. She also told me because it is so popular it is best to order it for when you intend to go. Which I did. Wow generous portion it was absolutely devine. Will definitely visit again. It was the first time I have eaten Pork Belly and I wasn't disappointed. I took my friend who is down from Kent with me , she was also well impressed. Also met some lovely local people in there who were regulars.

We stopped here while on holiday and had a lovely Sunday lunch. Delicious food, generous sized portions and great service. The landlord even posted my son’s baseball cap back to us as we left it there, very kind of him. Great pub, would recommend!

Always good. Didn't have good but the smell of the Sunday roasts cooking smelled divine.

Vriendelijke en vlotte bediening! Het eten was smakelijk en werd vlot geserveerd! Goeie prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

Popped in for lunch today. Staff were amazing. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

My partner and I both had the club sandwiches huge portions, the kids had kids meals again large portions! Lovely food really reasonable prices Empty plates and five stars!

Pub is really nice and been recently decorated. Staff very friendly and excellent food! 👌

Had a very nice meal tonight with my wife, the food was delicious my wife had chicken curry I had ham eggs and chips with salad plus a starter and dessert which were free as a meal deal . Staff very friendly and the locals, would highly recommend.

On the off chance we dropped by the pub on a Sunday. We had a very good roast dinner for £13.95. One was belly of pork, which was tender and roast beef. Vegetables were cooked nicely and for an extra £1.50 a dish of cauliflower cheese. Plenty of gravy as well. We enjoyed it.

Great pub with a lovely welcoming atmosphere. A spacious garden at the rear which came as a lovely surprise , had sun all afternoon, lots of umbrellas available if you want some shade too. Food was plentiful and tasty , I would recommend the cod and chips and the burger.

An excellent lunch here. Great sandwiches (bacon and brie my particular favourite) with salad and crisps. Freshly made (bacon hot from the pan!) and swiftly served. Beer excellent. Newly decorated, so clean, airy and spacious, perfect for a hot sunny day. And the manager could not have been friendlier. Pub approaching first anniversary from renovating, so happy birthday. Long may you serve Westham

Friendly service and great food. Lovely family atmosphere and great events including live music and charity support.

The heron recently changed hands and has been updated. It looks really lovely. As locals we thought we should support them and try it out. We were very impressed with the size and quality of the food. The entertainment was all exceptional.

Lovely service from a really kind and helpful lady. Service very quick. My five year old recommends the ham sandwich! Delicious fish finger butties. And such a pretty setting.

Sat outside in the garden and had a lovely meal. Portion sizes were great and the host was very attentive. Thank you so much :))

Delicous food and friendly staff what more could you want. As you can see in the photo the pie 🥧 was excellent, again!

Booked for Sunday Lunch with some friends. A great Sunday lunch menu selection. We all had starters, two chose prawn cocktail, how 1970’s is that? 👍, two chose the garlic mushrooms. For the main course two selected chicken, one beef and one belly pork. All meals were well prepared and delicious. No complaints about portion size with plenty of rich gravy, and an optional portion of cauliflower cheese. Great meal, great front of house team. Highly recommended.

Very friendly! Beer garden nice! Food excellent

Went there last night Awful burger, certainly not home made burger, it was not up to the usual high standard. What went wrong?? Chef was away.. Seriously awful. First time ever I've critised this place.

Great pub, friendly landlord & landlady, very tasty steak and ale pie. We will definatley return.

My Daughter took us out for lunch it was a very friendly atmosphere the roast dinner was great and my husbands steak and ale pie was filled with lots of steak which he loved 10/10

Lovely family meal out , food was great and staff are all lovely and friendly .

An evening of music at open mike night. Good venue, good atmosphere, nice staff, good service.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. We had food and drinks here on 30th November . Food was delicious. Highly recommended

Had a fabulous roast beef dinner here today with my husband. Could not fault it. Good price, great atmosphere, lovely staff. Will be back, thank you.

We had some time to kill, and it was lunchtime. Never been to this pub or come to that, not even Westham! The service was good, and the barmaid (Kay) was really very helpful, polite and chatty. Our meal, which was a three egg omelette, chips and salad was freshly prepared and very tasty. The pub, although a little on the outside was clean and tidy within and the toilets were exceedingly clean and tidy, possibly the best I've seen in a pub for a long time.

It was the second time we went to The Heron and another very positive experience. Yummy food, friendly staff and good price. It has a nice atmosphere too. Very pleased, our children are very picky with food but not there, both ate everything. We will...

Went for our first meal since The Heron went under new management. The food was really enjoyable, well cooked and well presented. The staff were friendly and attentive and, as an extra bonus, it was open mic night so we were treated to some live...

We heard it was new people here and so decided to go for a Sunday roast. It was such a nice day we ate out in the garden. We were at the beginning of service and didn't have to wait long. Our meals were brought...

This is my local pub. Nice relaxed atmosphere. And they do snacks.

Wow! Have found a new go-to place for Sunday lunch. The Heron in Westham High Street is under new management - we had the roast; choice of roast beef, pork or chicken - we had a mixture. Best pork crackling I've ever eaten, homemade large Yorkshire puds, good range of well cooked veggies with additional tasty cauliflower cheese. Very generous helpings of well cooked, tasty food with lashings of gravy. After a rest we had an apple and fruit crumble, this time with lashings of custard. Lovely atmosphere in the pub, lots of parking and a lovely garden for the better weather. We will definitely be back. Thank you, we loved it! 😊

Enjoyed a revisit to the Heron since the new owners have taken it on. Lovely refurbishment, very clean. New owners very friendly and couldn’t do enough for their customers. Sunday roast was one of the best we have had for a long time. Big thumbs...

Lovely village pub. It looks nothing from the outside (sorry guys), but once inside it’s very welcoming. The food is exceptional for the price, and drinks prices are pretty good too (£4.20 for a very well kept pint of Harvey’s Sussex is recommended ). From behind the bar, the lovely Theresa took our food and drinks orders and kept us, and a few dozen others, topped up all evening. If you are ever in this area, I totally recommend this hidden gem!

Great food 😍lovely friendly staff !!

Down from Norfolk I decided to take my father here for Sunday roast. 3 different meats, plenty of vegetables and roast potatoes plus a large Yorkshire pudding with gravy boat Absolutely loved it Certainly recommend giving a try for a home cooked dinner

We arranged to have my father in-laws wake venue here .omg what a lovely place to have it .The staff was amazing that day and also thanks to the landlord Ian for being understanding at this sad time , The spread of refreshments they did...

Lovely lunchtime in the Heron My daughter and granddaughter enjoyed it too. Gentleman serving at the bar was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this place. Going back in the week gorca meal with friends. Thankyou Heron.

Lovely meal this evening. The staff are friendly and atmosphere is good. The homemade steak, ale and mushroom pie was the highlight. Will definitely be eating here again.

Please do not support this pub.

I'm sure this pub is set for good things. The staff were friendly and the beer was good. The down side was all the scaffolding on the outside which made my wonder before I tried the door was it open? There appears to be some substantial work going on here, good luck to them if your passing give it a go it way more laid back than the other pub near the castle.

We had a lovely greeting on arrival. We had drinks in the garden while we waited for our orders and the food arrived after a short wait. The pub has been nicely refurbished and still has the feel of a pub/restaurant which is great. We...

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. The new owners have done a great job at freshening the place up, landlord is always welcoming and the beer is always good! Garden is nice with plenty of sunny and shaded areas. We have eaten here a few times, the...

Great place inside with such lovely, friendly staff. Nice, big seating area outside too. Food was all brilliant, my boys and I love it there

On our visit we had burgers chips and all the sides. Great big portions and crispy hot chips and onion rings. Nice gin selection and friendly team. Definitely worth a visit as has free parking and is just on the highstreet village.

Great pub, free parking with amazing food and big portions. 😋

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and great food

A lovely pub inside and out. Really top notch food and lovely staff make for a relaxing and fulfilling meal. Will definitely come again.

A fantastic lunch in the garden. Great food, service and prices. I would thoroughly recommend a visit. We'll definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Received a warm welcome, Enjoyed a pint of Harvey's bitter in sunny Beer garden . Restaurant will open end of July,

It was my first time since the re-opening. It was very clean and welcoming. The landlord and staff are all lovely. Hopefully the kitchen will be open soon. I will definitely recommend it and I am looking forward to going back at the weekend.

Great beer in a friendly welcoming atmosphere! . Ps Sunday lunches are supurb

Fantastic publicans couldn't wish for a nicer couple to play for "Loose Change" will be back to play on November 27th come and meet the friendly publicans and their wonderful customers .

Quite a nice looking pub, located about halfway between Pevensey Castle and the station. The interior has been partially opened out into a U-shaped bar. Very friendly barmaid. Clean and neat restrooms. Love the ‘family garden’ that consists of some café style seating on a paved area that leads to some picnic tables on the lawn. There are also a few tables and chairs under a shelter that also houses a BBQ for sunny days.

Food was great I had chicken my partner had beef

Fantastic having moved to the area recently very friendly atmosphere

Typical pub very brief visit while waiting for a bus. Had a latte which was mediocre. It was clean and the staff were friendly but probably not the place for me.

Great local pub with excellent food all home cooked.

Really friendly atmosphere, excellent roast dinners! already looking forward to the next visit.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Choice between chicken & pork. I had pork & my other half had chicken. Delicious food, plates emptied & full tums. Deffo be back ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😋

A very nice village pub serving Harvey's.

Excellent pub. Came across this by chance but would return. Very friendly staff and godd prices.

Nice experience, Friendly staff and good service

First class Sunday lunch with a choice of three roasts. Good humoured service despite being really busy & the temperature rising. First choice on Sundays. Haven't tried weekdays yet. Watch this space.

Went there to watch the football and really liked the place. Friendly staff. Wow definitely go again.

Nice pub apparently garden is lovely but went in the evening. Friendly girl behind the bar. Will go again on a sunny day

Friendly local with great beer garden, good selection of beer and ale. Nice food and snacks

1st class. Service. And top staff. Always made welcome.

Delicious Sunday Roast reasonably priced - friendly service - complete refurbishment since my last visit some time ago - I'll be back!!!

Very friendly and helpful girl serving and good food although limited menu in these difficult times.

Great little pub with a beautiful sun trap back garden, great beer and lovely atmosphere

Best pub in pevensey and the bay!! Love it! X

What a gem this pub is . Met some family who where staying at the local campsite, we were in a hotel, so decided on a family night out. Very friendly staff and locals . If you want a traditional pub this is the place....

Friendly staff, friendly regulars, great atmosphere, great beers, food, and beer garden, also has a pool table and darts boards, the best pub in pevensey and westham

Lovely meal Well done Natalie and a very pleasant atmosphere thanks to Jemma. Well done.

Nice little pub on the high street. Nicely laid out and has a lovely sunny garden.

the staff were pleasant and helpful great live entertainment reasonable prices great night out

Lovely place for all ages animals so well cared for

Lovely evening with friends. Vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, we all had a fab time at our local. Bar snacks were tasty - chilli chips and a sizeable portion.

I always pop in at short notice on a Sunday for a home cooked Roast dinner and they are faultless, and value for money. Staff are not just lovely but so welcoming and ale is pristine. Can't ask for any more
