The White Dog Inn in Rother

Had a lovely lunch, lovely old village pub, parking is limited if busy, staff were excellent and friendly, food portions were great along with delicious food...would revisit and recommend

Best pub in the area - food and drink of high standard. Great views from back garden

We had a lovely meal here for my daughter's 21st birthday ( 8 of us) . Some adventurous dishes including game as well as the usual pub fare . Food was very good( and we had a range of rabbit , burgers , fish and chips , lamb ) , service very good - the only thing I would say is I think they are trying too hard with the "skin on" chips - just normal , better crispy chips/fries please . Good gluten free options including gluten free beer from the pump . I know it's tricky ,but a more interesting wine list would be great too . All in all , though a great evening .

Brilliant pub , beautiful area , great welcome ,delicious food and such a lovely choice good choice of beers and wines what more do you want from an English traditional pub .

One pub we keep returning to. The food is always amazing and changes for the season. The options are varied to cover all tastes and occasions. We cannot fault it.

Great food, great team, plenty of atmosphere.

Had a fabulous lunch (venison pie, mash, gravy, veg!) here and a pint of Harvey’s! Really cosy on wet rainy day. Would really recommend. Not sure what their lighting is like - too hungry and forgot to look!!

Had lunch with friends there, very friendly and helpful staff. Food was beautifully presented and all locally sourced. We all had starters, mains and dessert, all freshly prepared and delicious. Looking forward to trying Sunday lunch and going back with family.

Cosy village pub with a great atmosphere. Food was excellent and good to see using local produce and suppliers. Reasonable price with good service.

Even though we only live in Northiam, we’d not been for quite a while. And we will be going back as soon as possible. The food was wonderful, the service impeccable and the atmosphere fantastic. My wife said the fish cakes were the best she had ever tasted and my chicken, bacon and stuffing pie was amazing. My mother in law had the vegetarian shepherd’s pie and then locally made ice cream and the very tasty cheeseboard for dessert. Thank you for a marvellous Sunday lunch, we will be back soon.

Really delicious roast and wonderful service! Kind, friendly, helpful ❤️ would highly, highly recommend. Homemade honeycomb ice cream was delicious

We went here for Sunday dinner, we did all 3 courses between us, we enjoyed every single course. Roast was fabulous, service was extremely good and the ladies who served us were extremely pleasant. Our only problem was that as we are on dry January, we couldn’t have any of the lovely looking drinks behind the bar. Definitely would recommend and will be back to visit again.

What a great find this pub was. We were in our camper and stayed over in the carpark providing we ate dinner at the pub which we did. Lovely cozy country pub vibes. Big menu to choose from and all locally resourced. They have a black board in the pub stating where all their produce comes from which is such a great idea. The staff are friendly and provide great customer service. The food was unreal! You have to try the homemade honeycomb ice cream, the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to return in the new future.

Great staff Christmas meal on Saturday night. The food and atmosphere was fantastic. Well done to all the staff.

Always fantastic, we have been coming to this pub for many years it continues to amaze! The staff and the food is fantastic, it’s great we are local as we can come anytime we want, thank you.

Really enjoyable visit. Tracy was very helpful finding us a table that had space for our pram to go too. She was fab throughout. The food was really good, the only tiny thing is there wasn’t loads of choice for vegetarians but the two we went for were really, really good! The rissotto main and the halloumi fries were amazing(the halloumi fries probably the best I’ve had and I gave them quite a lot..). Veggie burger and potatoe and leek soup also very tasty. Would definitely go again if we stayed in the area. Highly recommended 👍🏻

Great atmosphere, lovely setting, friendly locals, fabulous food. What more can I say? Defo worth a visit. I had the homemade pie, full to the top. Just as a pie should be. 👍

Had heard great things about the pub and weren't disappointed. The food was outstanding and it's beautiful inside. It's also dog friendly!

This is the second time we have visited and the second time it didn’t disappoint , the food was loverly , beers was great and the service really good , what I like is not being hassled to give your order and clear your plates which gives ample opportunity to ignore your phone and talk with the company your in , great service great food great pub , we will be returning again

Wow just had another absolute fabulous dinner, everything was awesome It’s a must place for us Service was just soooo great and wow those prawns Thanks to everyone involved it making our experience so special

Visited last night for a meal with our two dogs whilst staying nearby. Great East Sussex pub with friendly welcoming staff. The food was delicious and the service spot on. We’ll definitely return and would highly recommend a visit!

I love this pub, usually. But garden was swarming with wasps. Not just a couple, swarming. Difficult to enjoying a meal with 25 wasps at your table. Would be a good idea to deal with problem, or warn customers. Staff were nice, and let us move to another table, inside, but by the time I had moved all our plates and glasses inside my food was cold. Sad because the roast was lovely.

Very pleasant pub atmosphere. We had starter of pear and walnuts goats cheese delicious although had to order bread separately to go with. Mains l had rump steak hubby had sirloin disappointing my steak was over cooked and fair bit of gristle hubby sirloin very average came with cash & carry chips and little salad leaves on side. Desserts l had raspberries in pastry case unfortunately it was bought in from cash & carry and quite inedible although filling was ok. Shame chef wasn’t able to make or use fresh pastry or make fresh chips. We x 3 glasses of wine and price £120 didn’t feel value for money . Will not be returning

Love visiting this pub, we have been a few times now with friends and family. Staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. It is very popular so do book.

My best friend and I were visiting great dixter and googled restaurant near by and found this new favourite place to go beautiful surroundings, menu made our mouths water, friendly staff our meals were delicious we will be back

This pub came well recommended and we were not disappointed. Both couples arrived at 12noon as booked and staff encouraged us to use the front garden and order quickly as up to 40 local campers were expected to arrive shortly and use the rear garden. This was really helpful. The short but interesting menu was supplemented by the blackboard inside showing the "catch of the day" specials. Three of our party opted for the grilled place (on the bone) with new potatoes and salad (£16.25), The fish was wonderfully fresh but i was a little surprised that the kitchen felt it necessary to slash the back of the fish? Just did not look good. I selected the main portion Bouillabaise (£19.90) which was first class. Hot, full of flavour, a little spicy, good mix of seafood such as mussels and prawns and white fish (all very fresh) and served in a huge pot with the lid for collecting shells etc. Also warm croutons and aoili served on the side gave a distinctly Mediterranean feel to the lunchtime, The service was efficient and friendly so the 10% charge was definitely merited. We all enjoyed our visit and would happily recommend the White Dog to others.

stopped on spec as passing (Friday 21st July, 1pm). bar-person turned us away - said not possible to order food as 'kitchen busy'. Really??? never known a pub turn a customer away.

Lovely pub, friendly staff. great food we both enjoyed the brochettes roasted vegetables with Halloumi and spicy couscous. Good few hours sat outside with great views.

Excellent pub, been a customer for many years and live in Beckley, nothing is to much trouble for the staff, and the food is always fantastic! Gary and Jan .

The food and service at this pub was amazing, highly recommend visiting. The portion sizes were huge and tasted so fresh. We will be back for sure.

Food and menu great. Service slow and once they started clearing but well before closing we might as well not have existed. We had to chase staff to order desserts and after waiting about 15 minutes and asking when they might arrive we gave up...

Excellent lunch. Food really good and varied menu made choice difficult. Good service and friendly atmosphere. I had the bouillabaisse to start and didn’t really need anything else!( but managed it)

Visited after a day at 'Great Dixter' garden nearby, in Northian.We had to wait until 6.30, until food was served, but worth the wait. Excellent real ale,and not surprised White Dog won an award in 2022 for this. Food was first class,I had fresh fish,...

Excellent welcome , we choose to sit inside , but garden looked amazing , had a Lunch with my Son , Tiger Prawns were perfect , Huge place with prawns ....full of flavour , very well presented , well kept ales , freindly staff ,...

Visited the pub on two Friday lunchtimes running as my daughter is moving into the village. It’s a great spot with the garden overlooking fields and bodiam castle. The staff are great and very friendly and efficient. The food is also great and you can...

Back again to the White Dog Inn Ewhurst and it was as good as ever. Harriet and her lovely team were as helpful and friendly as before and although it was really busy we were served quickly and efficiently and with smiles. The food was...

Amazing food, all local ingredients and the menu event tells you the names of their suppliers. Piping hot on delivery and absolutely delicious. We are staying in Northiam and stopped off on the off chance that a table would be available.

The White Dog came highly recommended so gave it a try for lunch. Service and food were excellent. This is pub food done very well. We will he back.

If your looking for a beautiful country pub with a pretty spectacular view, brilliant customer service and the most delicious locally sourced food then this is the place for you.

My daughter and I stayed the night here in the north facing room overlooking Bodiam castle. The room was lovely and very well kept with an amazing view! We ate dinner and breakfast in the bar/restaurant area and the staff were great, very friendly and...

We had a lovely drink and a meal in this Great public house, as soon as you walk in the your made so welcome, Guinness l, food excellent and a brilliant atmosphere. Would recommend this to anyone, xx

We always receive a warm welcome here. This is a very busy pub so I would recommend booking a table, in advance of your visit, if you are planning to have a meal. There is a variety of food available and usually a seasonal specials...

After many happy lunch time visits for drinks & lunch by the lovely welcoming fire, today we came to one of our favourite country pubs sadly for the last time. We waited over an hour for 1 burger and fries. When we asked where our...

We had an amazing meal for 13 people here this evening for a 70th birthday. All the food had been cooked to perfection, served hot and to a high quality all together! The servers were all very polite and tended to all the possible needs...

Fabulously cosy bustling atmosphere, with a roaring log fire to welcome you in from an otherwise miserable day of Sunday downpours. Dog-friendly table, and everything still available on the menu at 2:30 on a busy weekend. Portions so generous (and at the right temperature) that...

Unfortunately it’s increasingly rare these days that we eat out and feel that we’ve had great service, delicious food and good value. Today has given us all 3, having had Sunday lunch at the White Dog following a neighbour’s recommendation. Excellent roast beef, the best...

This is such a quintessentially British pub with oodles of character. The dining area has a lovely ambience with candles on the tables and the waitresses are pleasant and friendly even while working their socks off! The scampi provencale was perfect but the homemade honeycomb...

After a quick visit to Bodium Castle we felt peckish. Tried the Inn opposite but being 1/2 term it was full. Followed the car sat nav and ended up here. Lovely find! There was a table of 30 already present but they still squeezed us...

As usual the chef and staff at the White Dog went out of thier way to provide me and my friends with a fabulous English breakfast. All local ingredients and freshly cooked. Friendly staff and great service. Couldn't ask for more. Many thanks to Harriet...

We had dinner here one evening during our local camping holiday. Excellent and varied menu - very well cooked and presented. Dog friendly. Altogether a really good experience.

We went on a recommendation and it was excellent in every respect service - food , local wine , and ambiance. Great information about local produce. Autumn menu very appropriate .Great view of Boduim castle too

We had the most amazing lunch here , the food and service was fantastic and it’s in a beautiful setting overlooking Bodium castle . We were 11 people so a large gang and we had fabulous service . We were recommended. When the food came...

A very nice country pub, loverly staff and atmosphere. Excellent range of beers and great food. Garden is good in the summer. Large car park.

Always a pleasure to visit the White Dog. Today was no exception. The staff are always smiley and helpful; a good selection of wine; the menu has a good seasonal selection of food. Today was no exception especially their new dessert, greengage tarte tartin served...

Stopped here for lunch enroute to camber sands, sat in the beer garden. Had a nice pint and an excellent ploughmans with local cheeses and homemade bread. Far better than expected and would highly recommend!

Went here for a birthday treat last week, and glad we did as the food was very good - especially the desserts which were excellent! We sat outside as it was a lovely evening and enjoyed our cold wine and beer as well as the...

My wife really enjoys eating at this pub, the food is good and the garden has lovely views over Bodiam Castle. Today we ate in the garden, got our own drinks from the bar, told by the waitress that we had to get our own...

Well above average country pub with excellent food and a lovely garden. Views over the countryside from the garden. Particularly good food.

Decided to try here after a trip out. What a lovely place. Staff were very pleasant and the locals seated outside were very sociable. We ordered a quick bite each which was very good. Will definitely be back to try the full menu. Thought the...

A random spur of the moment visit after finding another pub at Sedlescombe unexpectedly closed for a function. I use a wheelchair currently. Ewhurst Green is a gorgeous village set in wonderful countryside. The corn was high ('an elephant's eye' added my husband, and outside...

Have been to this place twice now, and it was spot on on both occasions. The prawns for a starter are just to die for, my friend had the dressed crab salad on both visits as he said its just soooo good! There was 7...

Visited your pretty pub today with family over from New Zealand. If I had not been with them and not wanted to make a fuss I would have returned my meal. I had Scampi. This was so overcooked I.e. so burnt I could not get...

Even though we arrived late for our reservation they still managed to serve a wonderful meal. The best burger I’ve had in years, really.

Today we walked from Bodium Castle to The White Dog for lunch with friends. We had booked a table inside just incase the weather wasn’t suitable for the garden. Infact it was a beautiful day so on arrival I asked if we could change to...

I wish I'd seen the previous review regards the Bouillabaisse, it was just mussels,onion, celery and two large prawns, no mixed white fish , not a Bouillabaisse at all. On the other hand the millefeuille was delicious .

Visited the White Dog for lunch and found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Well presented pub with lovely garden. A good first course(beef carpaccio) but the fish stew underwhelming. More like celery soup with shellfish. I suggest go to Webb’s in Rye for a...

WARNING: You will be presented with a bill with 10% added on as a "service charge" which you can have removed if you wish... Bit cheeky that. They know it's embarrassing and most people with pay it whether it was worth it of not. To...

We were looking for a tranquil eatery that served good quality food and my daughter had The White Dog recommended. Lovely family run inn very friendly professional people. The menu was just perfect we shared moules mariniere and a ploughmans. Top quality.

This place is a great find. A really interesting menu with more than you’d expect from a country pub. Really high quality food and a huge pub garden too. A lovely spot for a summer lunch.

A big thank you to all at the whitedog for making the birthday surprise meal for my husband so enjoyable. Super food and the candle on his pudding was a fantastic idea. This is the first time we have visited since the late 1960s. Quite...

Off chance they would be open when we visited the church opposite. Last in the pub 20 years ago! Busy lunchtime with lots of families for half term. The spring menu is impressive, nearly all sourced locally: meat, fish, smoked salmon, vegetables. We had salmon,...

Cross contamination of gluten and fish means this is one to avoid if you have allergies. Fried fish, including the beer battered options are cooked in the same oil as everything else, including the tempura battered options on their menu. The coating for the ribs...

Sunday lunch meat so tough could not cut it. Meal was cold so sent back. Although replaced meat still appalling vegetables tasteless and look liked just been microwaved, gravy was like dishwater. So disappointing. Also not apologetic when asked for reason of complaint

The White Dog Inn is everything that a traditional country pub should be. Warm, friendly, welcoming, sweet-smelling and the perfect place to recuperate after a walk, with delicious food and beverages. Well done team White Dog!

We are always looked after at the white dog , and made to feel welcomed. Food is great and the staff are always friendly and fast

Fabulous lunch today at the White Dog Inn Ewhurst. A proper country Inn in the middle of nowhere with a great garden and wonderful views over the Bodiam valley. The welcome was lovely, the food was fantastic and the staff (Harriet, Jess and Eve) were...

I booked this pub after researching the area, as we were holidaying for Easter. We were made to feel Very welcome as soon as we arrived. It was a great vibe, a real mix for locals enjoying the sunshine and diners. Our order was taken...

Dropped in for Saturday lunch after a trip to Bodiam castle. Absolutely fantastic food, beer and friendly efficient service. Well done you. Couldnt recommend highly enough.

Local pub , just the absolute best fish & chips in the whole of Sussex absolutely beautiful! According to husband flipping good rack of ribs too , always a friendly warm atmosphere with lovely staff . 100% recommend

very good Sunday roast and very pleasant waiting staff, shame they ran out of baked figs....we will have to go back

After Visit to Bodiam castle, pre-booked table for late Sunday lunch service.....very good quality food all round and friendly efficient serving staff...shame they had run out of the baked figs, we will just have to return to try them next time ;)

Great location country pub. Food was excellent as was the service. Only let down by lads swearing at the bar. Shame really.

Lovely english pub with an excellent atmosphere and delicious menu. Delightful attentive staff, good beer and wine plus nicely spaced tables. The main courses all looked delicious and we decided on the duck and the fish and chips-wonderful for a cold january night after a...

Out first visit to the White Dog, but will definitely be back soon. Pleasant greeting on arrival and immediately shown to our table. Camembert starter was lovely. Mixed roast was pork & beef as the lamb had run out. It was exquisite. My wife’s sea...

What a great pub, with lovely food, lovely staff & even the customers were welcoming. We sat in the bar with our 3 dogs who were also welcomed with open arms. Several of the staff & customers made a fuss of them & provided dog...

We've visited The White Dog on a few occasions over the years but not for a while as our last experience was not that good, but believe it was under different management/owners at that time. Fast forward to December 2021 and our experience was 100%...

Had a really lovely birthday celebration last Saturday. Lovely meal and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It's still as lovely as it was 50years ago!

Had the Christmas menu, starter, main & Pudding, very tasty & great value! Loved the turkey & generous amount of vegetables & the pudding in brandy sauce, well done the chef & well done the hard working staff…a few pints of Harvey’s helped as well.

Great choice of menu with lots of fresh seasonal ingredients. Dog friendly, open fireplace and an excellent choice of menu options

What a great find thanks to TripAdvisor. Lovely country pub nestled in the East Sussex countryside which of course is dog friendly. The food and a exceptional and lifts a great pub to an amazing one. Mussels to start and the Gurnard for main…both score...

Very enjoyable Saturday lunch with our son and (black) dog. The halibut was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. A lovely English pub.

This is a good place offering deceptively simple food. In fact it’s very good cooking. I had pigeon breast and mackerel with a delicious Kachumba salad. My wife had pear carpaccio and then moule. We thoroughly enjoyed our food…Service was efficient and personable. A good...

My husband and I went to the White Dog tonight to celebrate our wedding anniversary, along with our little boy. We’ve eaten here many times and always enjoyed good food. Tonight we both ordered the lamb - and it was sadly really disappointing. We don’t...

Went to the a white Dog after a Trip to Bodiam Castle as it was highly recommended to me. The Staff very very Friendly and welcoming and as it was not too busy we got a Table out the back in the Garden with Lovely...

Booked a table for 2.30 today, arrived 10 minutes early and was shown out to the garden and told my drinks order would be taken "soon". Sat there for forty minutes before giving up and leaving. During that time, numerous tables around us were waited...

We went to the White Dog for the first time. Without doubt the best Sunday lunch we've ever had. We opted for the beef which was beautiful. Perfect roast potatoes, veg and homemade Yorkshire puddings. Starters and sweets excellent. Service brilliant and the bill worked...

Great meal with family in the garden of the White Dog. Service was prompt and friendly and the menu had plenty for all. Best veggie burger I've tasted in ages. Lovely view from pub garden of Bodiam Castle.

Lovely old pub with gorgeous view from the garden. The food was excellent, can recommend the prawns or scallops to start. The sea bass was lovely and the cheesecake finished off the meal. Friendly staff

Great pub and great food . The waitresses Chloe and Eive were lovely and could not do enough for us . Seafood platter was epic

We have been going to the Dog for years and it ticks all the boxes for a great country pub. Great beer, wines, food and service. Our latest lunch with 6 friends was exceptional. All dishes beautifully cooked and presented but most importantly tasted wonderful....
