The View Restaurant Bar Function Venue in Lewes

Lovely food and plenty of it :) and Harvey's on tap! Great views too. Lovely place to enjoy a chilled Saturday afternoon.

Visited a few days ago, weather was beautiful and course was busy. Quite a few people having drinks, but not many eating. In my opinion possibly because the menu is dated and uninspiring and the food itself is average. Salt & pepper squid looked insipid and was tasteless, obviously out the freezer. If you can't do it well, don't put it on the menu. Shame it could be a lovely little business with a bit of thought and effort

Waited 0ne hour after ordering, breakfast didn't come....bye

Could be fantastic. We popped in for the second time but were ignored by the male bar attendent. Eventually asked if we needed something. I doubt I will bother again.

We went there with our 2 boys twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner. We sat outside both times and the view was very nice, the food was good and it is a place we would return to.

Staff need proper training, they are all young and could benefit from it. Food good, well priced for quality. Ambience lacking

Felt unwell while I was there. The staff were very good in making sure I was looked after. Thank you ladies,you were absolute stars!ps,Feel absolutely fine now.

Sunday roast was abysmal in every way soggy potatoes, mushy red cabbage, some kind of swead or carrot but could not tell as no taste, lumpy gravy, Yorkshire pudding dry & tasteless , was asked if it was ok & said no, the waitress just said so room for improvement then & walked away with our half eaten plates so needless to say no return visit is planned

Visited yesterday for the first time ,will definitely go again, hard working and friendly staff. Lovely views if the weather's nice ,you can also watch the golfers playing up to the last hole .

Terrible food! Squid sent out mouldy! Drinks flat. Do not eat here!

Very disappointing. Breakfast was poor quality, eggs overcooked. Would not return.

Good food also had a delivery recently we were not disappointed!!

Did not eat here but attended a private party. Views from here are beautiful, nice large area, clean and presented well. Menu looked great, hope to get back and try it.

We had a fantastic night for my mums surprise 50th birthday party! Absolutely amazing can’t thank the staff enough! A special thanks to Chef Steve who did an amazing job with the curries! absolutely smashed it out the park with his team!!!

Awful food. Staff tried to make it right but didn't. Can't believe they prepare their sandwiches either.

Great experience. Best fish and chips i had for a long time. Its evident that you respect your customers and your work. thanks

Had a lovely mother's day meal here. Would return.

We had a lovely tea & coffee with a great view of Seaford & Newhaven.

Menu limited but what is on offer is cooked to perfection, staff very attentive we were there celebrating a birthday and had a good time. Obviously the view from the view is spectacular

Lovely food and great service. Beautiful view!

We had mother's day there Everyone of us very pleased

From 1st March 2024 NEW OWNERS/OPERATORS, New Decor, Menu etc. Great views of Seaford Head cliffs and Beaches. And a great monthly Jazz club #splashpointjazz 2nd Wednesday of every month. 🎷🎹🎺🎻🥁. Went there last night for a charity fundraising Quiz event with live music. Do a good Long Man Blonde 🍺 and a best bitter.

Sadly we didn't have a great experience here. It's a lovely, bright and airy room. Fantastic views over the golf course. Unfortunately the menu is uninspiring and what you get is definitely subpar. We won't be coming back here.

The worst meal I have ever had here. My husband's burger was tough, peas were like bullets, chips were soft and brown, oil needs changing What's happened, it used to be good?No wonder it w as empty on a Sat. Afternoon.

Good snack menu with very tasty homemade soup of the day at reasonable price. Other snack bites at reasonable prices but not a very large choice although those served quite tasty.

My bread was hard, probably been left out for ages. My mother's chips were soggy. Supposed to be triple cooked. Basically food was below the expected standards. Have us our coffee for free but I would have preferred to get a meal that was nice.

Local restaurant near Seven Sisters. The sea view was great, but I couldn't take any pictures. The sandwich was a bit salty inside. There are no vegetables, so it goes well with a salad. Just a place to eat.

My companion enjoyed the meal she ordered. Mine, bit of a tip here to the person who prepared the food - it is unusual to pour cheap vinegar all over what might have been a decent enough salad to the point of drenching. Most food preparers would maybe add some oil or at least, use a decent (thick and sweet) balsamic vinegar with caution. My mouth hurt. This was dreadful catering. Avoid the salad at all costs. Far too expensive for such shoddy food prep.

Just got in for a coffee and used their convenience. 😊

Very basic,view of golf course, service not good, too busy chatting amongst themselves and not paying attention

Wonderful afternoon tea, needs to be booked 24 hours in advance, but well worth it.

What a hidden gem, and the cheesy chips are to die for, views amazing, sit outside in the sun or cool off inside with the deliciosly cool air conditioning.

We recently had the pleasure of stopping at a café for lunch while exploring the Seven Sisters Trail, and were delighted by the unexpectedly delicious comfort food we had! We all had mains, as well as a couple of starters. The jacket potato was absolutely scrumptious, as was the white bait! It was a truly enjoyable break from our adventure.

Great location on the golf course. Open to the public both bar and Restaurant. Can get very busy

We held a 60th Wedding Anniversay Party on 5th August and it was excellent as shown by the star ratings. Everyone of the 46 present had a great time and said so! Our compliments and thanks go to all the staff who helped plan, and were present on the evening,

The View Seaford, great food, great service and a great View of the golf course and countryside. The food was well presented with the portion size just right. Definitely worth a visit.

A decent breakfast with views across the golf course to the sea.

Lovley food . Quite old school .

All a bit sad and dated, get the twee sparkly lights over the bar. Service about the same. Smelly smokers don't care about letting stinky smoke come into building.

This is the second time that I have visited The View, unfortunately they were for a wake following a funeral. The first time was for my Sisters and it certainly has the wow factor with the stunning views, the buffet we ordered was exceptional and the service and staff, you could not fault. Yesterday's wake showed exactly the same level of service and care, sitting out taking in the views and sunshine was an added bonus.

Had scampi and chips. Really lovely. My friends had the salmon, also very nice.

Great full English before a round of golf.

We only had tea and coffee. It's a nice place with nice view.

Food excellent and very pleasant views. Staff do lovely job.

Been here a few times and the food is always good. Breakfast is also very nice and reasonably priced.

I was treated to an afternoon tea yesterday by two friends. We had a wonderful spread of food, service was great, the view speaks for itself. Definitely recommend The View & hope to return.

The eatery with the golf course. Certainly not the most stylish place but we had a (very) late breakfast there and it was really nice. And, it’s called ‘the view’ for good reasons! Service with a smile at the bar. If you want water with your espresso you gotta ask for it.

Wonderful Tea, with great service and beautiful scenery.

Very nice meals, we had the Sunday special, 2 courses for £19.95, everything was delicious and the service was great, we never felt rushed

Limited menu good basic food choices quality good but would have preferred a more expansive range however a pleasant quiet environment with great views

Roast was Nothing like the pictures showed Frozen vegetables Frozen hard potatoes Over priced average carvery food

Mum's wake was held here. The staff were wonderful. Our different dietary requirements were catered for. And of course there's the view of the course and Seaford Bay.

Not friendly to customers with food intolerance, tried to arrange a lunch for friends with no success as one diner is coeliac and catering for them is obviously too much trouble so zero options available...

Great place for a breakfast if ya fancy a beautiful view as well you won’t be disappointed

Very nice place but... ! I find that glass was dirty when I come to show the lady on the bar she simply pour over my cola to another glass ....!!! Then she looks suprised that Im refused to get it . Not recommended at all

The best full English breakfast in town that's coming from a Ex lorry driver

Went here last night for a dinner dance , the food was lovely but the service was absolutely fantastic, the best I have ever had Everyone serving got it spot on Kelly was running the evening and it was perfectly planned x

Terrible service! Booked a week in advance for a birthday then told on arrival we can’t have a table outside as they have a society golf day! Never again!👎🏻

Great service, beautiful views. Food is tasty and homely.

Food very good, staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again. Great view over river.

One of the staff being irresponsible and misplaced my payment receipt, she then told all her colleague, blaming us hadn't paid our bill. One of the golf coaching staff looked at us angrily thinking we didn't pay. No apology offer after I showed them proof of card payment and they found their till record. Poor service! If that staff gets fired, this is a four stars venue.

Not a lot of choice but great service in Great surroundings.

Had a private function there and it was very nice. Food was great and staff are very helpful/nice. Such a beautiful location and a huge car park. Love going to The View.

View from patio is splendid. Staff very helpful. Good place to stop for drink or a cuppa.

We went for lunch today at The View and were rather disappointed to find that there was very little choice on the menu, much reduced from what is shown on the website. When I booked the table I was told that there were usually a couple of "specials" in addition to the normal menu. The menu consisted of a couple of salads, gammon egg and chips, scampi and chips or a selection of paninis with chips. There were also no specials. Quality of what we had was good but I wouldn't have bothered making the trip from Eastbourne if I'd known what little choice there would be.

Excellent what a lovely afternoon after all this time

Stunning views from inside and out, great menu and very friendly staff. A perfect stop after a long walk along the gorgeous coastline.

Good service, great view, reasonable food.

Nice view from Seaford head golf course, and also good priced food!

Kids friendly and good location!

Tastefully decorated for Christmas, but a pretentious Christmas menu. The turkey wraps were only ok and needed more fresh vegetables. Good Christmas pudding though. Good service.

A big thank you to our lovely waitress Amanda for the amazing service, the food was great too. My dad is nearly 90 so every Christmas is precious, Amanda made sure everything was perfect. Will definitely be back.

The view from the terrace is fantastic on a warm sunny day. We visited on a rainy Sunday. The inside of the building is decorated like an 80s office canteen. The food is okay, it is not bad, just at a little bland. The service was excellent. I will visit again but on a sunnier day and for a light lunch or a coffee...

I can't believe iv lived here all tuese years and never found this great little place Really peaceful

Lovely venue beautiful outlook food a d service great

Great place and food, clean an the staff are brilliant

Excellent service and food , good value

Friendly service great view obviously food simple but tasty.

Well, the food wasn't the best we had during our vacation, but it wasn't bad either. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, but if you are in vicinity... no too bad.

Lovely food. Excellent staff. Thanks !

Hit and miss with food, wouldn't hurt staff to smile once in a while. A little dated but not bad for Seaford.

Super cooked breakfast and lovely scenery

My favourite place in Seaford. I visit at least 3 times a month. Great atmosphere, fabulous staff, parking and the food is excellent and well priced. Wish it was open later in the evening.

Really unhelpful staff. I don't know who manages this place, but customer service seems to be very low on their list of priorities! Very slow service. My order was in the kitchen but they had forgotten to bring it out. It was only after I offered to collect it myself that a sullen member of staff said they would just have to get it for me! When we were there on a quiet day, everything, including politeness seemed to be too much effort. It's a shame, with such a good location, I'm sure that decent management The View could be a great place.

Shocking. Saturday evening 8pm only 2 other customers in there. We waited 1/2 an hour to then be told we need to order food & drinks at the bar. You would of thought that the staff may have realised, that as we had previously booked a table for six, that we would be eating. They could have mentioned that fact a little earlier. If we had not have asked, we could still be sitting there now!. I was assured, by phone, when booking, that there were GF options for a coeliac. I was then assured by the staff, that as a coeliac, I could safely eat my chosen option. I wish someone had told my tummy that! I was so ill! There seriously needs to be some education around allergies. if it was in fact a GF option, there was some serious cross contamination issues going on. We should have realised that it was not the best when the chef appeared wearing disgusting trousers that looked as if the hadn't been washed in a very long time. The salad was old and inedible and all of the 6 meals that our party ordered were not good at all. When we mentioned the salad, we were just told it was the dressing. She really need to go to Specsavers. It was old brown and dried out. Yuck The setting is great but no atmosphere and very poor standard of food. Would not recommend.

NO STARS ~ I have to give it one to get this posted .... We should have sensed that this was not going to be good....the place was absolutely empty on a glorious Saturday night, with such a fantastic view and what could be a very promising venue to eat in this did not bode well. Soon found out why, the food was practically inedible, we all had different items and apart from one the rest of our party (6 in all) had to leave most of our food. Chicken was overdone and dry, bacon was so incinerated it was unrecognisable as bacon, eggs were either very runny or dried up and burnt on the underside, salad garnish was old, curled up and looked really unappetising, and the reason for the discoloration was not because it was past its best but wait for it...the dressing! Asked about the gluten free options, not quite sure the message got through regarding our question "was the oil used for anything other than the chips or non gluten foods" we were assured that this was OK, last night one of our group who is highly allergic to gluten was violently ill ! Best advice to would be diners enjoy the view steer clear of the food ! This is a council run operation, so there is no consequence, the workers get paid and have no incentive to make this outlet really good and thriving. Come on Seaford Town Council get this venue up running and serving great food!

Lunched on 7 February. The view from The View was spectacular in a lovely setting. Food was good and service equally so. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

On arrival the first thing that grabs you is the bright views of countryside, sea and skies right around the cafe and lounge. There's plenty of space and choice of seating, lounge, easy chairs, bar. There's a nice friendly atmosphere with places to eat, relax, work, read or chat with friends. The place is very clean. The choice of food, quality of cooked food, service and overall dining experience is really lovely. Thankfully my visit was a sunny day so I was able to sit outside at the patio and stroll along the terrace to take in the views. There's a nice feel about the View. I will return with friends.
