Trinity of Battle in Rother

We had a great steak dinner over Christmas in Trinity of Battle. Delicious food! Excellent service! Warm and cosy atmosphere next to a most beautiful Christmas tree ever.

Fantastic meal from the Christmas menu. Great service from Sue who was great fun snd knowledgeable about the menu. Great Christmas vibes

Had a lovely meal here with my brother and cousin last Wednesday. We hadn't booked but midweek lunchtime so not a problem for them. The old chapel building is lovely, warm and welcoming. We all had the two course special....and a pud!! The ladies serving were charming and great fun too and the food piping hot and delicious. Well worth a visit!! We would definitely go back if in the area.

Everywhere in Battle was very busy and we were not able to get a table in the restaurants but the staff in Trinity asked us to wait a few minutes and they organised a table for us and our grandson. Nothing was too much trouble even though they were very busy. The food was good, the staff were excellent.

For the past six months I have looked forward to my weekly visits to Trinity. The menu is varied with a plethora of daily offerings and the environment offers a warm,convivial environment for all - from family dining, quiet intimate settings, or even special functions. I commute weekly between Ukraine, Chişinău in the Republic of Moldova and UK. The past 18 months have taken a toll on me, both physically, and emotionally. Trinity offers a brief and embracing escape from each week's images I can't release from my mind and soul. And I would be remiss if I did not state that I've fallen in love: Sadly, it's not often we receive superior service from staff in some restaurants. However, without question, each time I arrive I find myself embraced with a warm smile, embracing arms and unparalleled service. What else could one ever ask for? The greeting is as delicious and soul warming as their wonderful tuscan style French Onion Soup. Très been Trinity! Mon Dieu!

A beautifully renovated restaurant with friendly staff. All the food is freshly prepared and delicious. Our 2 course lunch with generous serves was only £15 each.

Had a great steak perfectly cooked, and the waitress was super friendly, as was the owner.. I would definitely recommend a visit..

Great place, good and atmosphere, just on the High Street in Battle.

We had a lovely time there staff were helpful and pleasant and all meal were very nice.Down side, I had belly pork which was only one bit,but was very nice. Could have done with 2 or 3 bit. With the cost of that meal The potatoes, vegetables and the wine graves was very nice.

What a wonderful place. Great steaks and lovely staff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great steak and great atmosphere. Staff are all lovely. Will be back!

Have been here a few times with friends, some of us love seafood and some love meat; not many restaurants tick both boxes well! We had a great meal tonight, the staff were brilliant as always. Between us we had the oysters, tiger prawns, camembert, and salt and pepper chicken which were all lovely. Then seafood platters, moules mariniere cooked to perfection, steak and the meat feast all well received. 2 of the party had the pork belly which had been brilliant on previous occasions but this time a bit lacking - no crackling, very fatty with very little meat which was a shame. The restaurant often has interesting specials but a few of us mentioned the main menu could do with updating - many dishes largely the same for a couple of years and don't seem to get any seasonal variation like the seafood. A bit more variety would get us there more often! Other than catching the pork on an off night, we had a lovely meal.

Wow what a little gem we found in Battle!!. Visiting the castle for my birthday we stopped on in Battle to have lunch and found this restaurant. We were greated by such a lovely lady who was so welcoming asking about our day and my children telling her it was my birthday. The food was exceptional and delicious and the little added surprise was the lady bringing out a birthday pudding ☺️ Can't recommend this place 😁

Loved this place The best food in battle I can't wait to come back,

Friendly warm atmosphere, although they were fully booked that evening, they still managed to find room for us. The food was very well prepared and presented and we felt very welcome.

The food exceeded my expectations for the price we paid. Service was quick and efficient and it was a nice place to eat.

A meal out with friends to celebrate 2 birthdays. Great food & great service. Really enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend x

Such a lovely building, really nice staff and amazing food especially for the price would highly recommend

Popped in for lunch, wonderful food and wonderful service.

We went in Hungry and came out full and satisfied! Great food, and a lovely atmosphere.

What a brilliant place! We had the pleasure of eating there this evening. From booking the table to leaving, the staff couldn’t have been any nicer. Amazing food, amazing service and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Had a wonderful meal with my family tonight. First time at Trinity and it will certainly will not be the last. Staff, service and food were excellent. We felt very relaxed. Thank you very much.

Excellent meals, dog friendly. Competent staff

Booked in for dinner on June 7th after we'd cancelled earlier in the day, due to illness. The staff were very accommodating to fit us in. Atmosphere was very relaxing. Service attentive but not over the top. My partner Sarah had lamb skewers and I had sirloin. Both meals cooked to perfection. We were charged for a bottle of still water, rather than tap. In the bigger picture, a minor detail. Overall, extremely pleased with our night out and look forward to coming back to Battle and The Trinity. Thank you for a lovely meal and evening 😊

Good solid cooking, friendly efficient service, nice place to eat.

Owner is a joke. Menu says skewers but only get one. Asked the owner where the other was and all I got was is a mistake with the menu we are all human. But 7 months ago you got two for the same price. So don't see how it's a mistake. Owner is rude and don't want to listen anyone has to say.

A good choice of food with plentiful portions. The chips were incredible, as were the milkshakes. Attentive and friendly staff.

Ok, Where do we start! First time we have eaten here and tbh we struggle to find good places to eat on Hastings and surrounding 🫣 The staff were very friendly, helpful and little bit of fun with personality, making you feel welcome. Steak was amazing (8oz sirloin) and the garlic butter 😳👀 wow! And finished off with triple chocolate brownies 👌 And this is why with all my training I will never have a 6 pack 😂 Highly recommended, great price / value for money 💰

Great food and drink all very reasonably priced Highly recommended

Excellent food at a very reasonable price. I had the pork belly with mash and veg. My wife had the curry pie. Lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful host.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Service was excellent however the meal was served in a cold plate and the lamb was not hot enough. The courgettes were bitter.

Of all the eateries in Battle and we had to choose this one!! And boy! Did we do good, the interior is modern with a twist of old, but the furnishings were definitely modern and very comfortable. The hostess was so welcoming as were all the servers. The food and drink menus were extensive and delicious and served hot. The facilities were well decorated and very clean. We will certainly be returning especially as we have loyalty cards 😊

Excellent food from starter to dessert & good friendly service can't really fault this restaurant obviously super fresh quality ingredients. One tiny tiny suggestion though ditch the salt & pepper sachets .

This was such a lovely unique venue! I had a really lovely meal with my work colleagues recently. I had the falafel burger, salad and hummus. We were not rushed in any way as some restaurants can sometimes do....I will go here again and highly recommend it!

Superb service, the food is all local and freshly cooked. Pieces are good for the quality of food. Highly recommended

Terrible food terrible service other than the female waitress's they are the only ones in that restaurant with a brain cell the manager/owner is rude and a lunatic I had tomato ketchup spilt on my designer clothes with no resolution she actually tried to blame me for putting it on my plate before he took them away which is lunacy, I will never return and as a local business owner I will make sure no one I know goes there until they close down which looks very likely

Lovely restaurant in Battle. Food is top quality without premium price - excellent value for money. Staff are always brilliant.

Great place, great food! Friendly and overall a very pleasant experience! Will be back as it is one of our favourite restaurants.

Delicious food. Warm welcome . Pleasant staff. Clean WC.

Amazing food very good was sceptical due to other reviews. Food was amazing and price was very good too. Definitely a hidden gem.

we dined here as a family of 6 ranging from age 8 - 80, we were having a great evening until the owner responded to a polite complaint about the steak being over cooked. The original review of the way she handled the situation can be read on trip advisor. based on the reactions this lady gives to any criticism we were fully prepared for excuses. But the lies of how the event took place has us all in utter disbelief! the fact you accuse us of shouting is the most shocking, when it was us that had to repeatedly ask you to lower your voice and stop talking to us in such a patronising manner in front of other diners. The most laughable lie has to be the one where you say we sent a steak back without even cutting into it, you’re clutching straws with that one, it’s not even believable! we now realise that you are willing to stoop to extreme lows, so will accept that the customers both past and future that have, and will be met with your darker side will resonate with our review. And we shall hold our head high knowing we dealt with the matter calmly, with absolutely no bad language or intimidation, just simple disappointment with how you treated us in front of an elderly man and our young child. The mention of the split between you and your partner was a conversation regarding the fact that our knowledge of the situation was due to the fact you had aired your laundry on social media, something that had put me off trying your restaurant as i thought it was quite in appropriate, we were simply stating the fact between ourselves, that we weren’t wrong. And in regards to your inappropriate review of my 8 year old looking like she’s seen this behaviour before, you’re right, sadly she has experienced rude adults in her life, she’s just lucky she has grounded parents that are able to teach her right from wrong and lead by example, as you very well know, she also made a comment that evening saying she didn’t like your attitude and the way you were talking to people. we are a good family, with morals, so please don’t reply with more lies, you may fool some but to us and the people that know us, we can see through it .

Service was very good. Staff were friendly. Food was lovly. Had 10oz sirloin cooked to perfection. The rosemary on the chips was a nice difference.

Lunch with friends. If those were smaller portions I'd be in trouble eating from the main menu! Small but not poky or cramped, good service and nice atmosphere. Definitely one to visit again.

Lovely surroundings and staff. Food good but it does depend on what you order.

Very attentive young staff serving at table. Good food. Especially the black currant cheesecake - best anywhere we have had in many years. Sensible size portions and fair price.

My partner and I eat out regularly and often give valuable constructive criticism. We left a £10 tip although food was poor we are fair people and could see they were trying and we felt food prices were acceptable. Upon giving feedback to the manager we explained the muscles were very bland with no white wine/garlic or flavour, the trout pate was equally bland and samphire seemed to garnish every dish. My £10 cocktail was no bigger than a shot glass. The manager was quickly defensive and not open to any valuable criticism. She explained she had 3 restaurants and it’s “personal preference”. We later discovered from locals in battle, the restaurants she were referring to were her ex husbands and that the manager is known for hurling abuse at her customers should they discredit her food.

Superb food, great portions, great prices, lively atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff.

Not kid friendly. The food is good. The décor is nice. But staff can be a bit short and not so customer focused. We came in with a couple of toddlers that were not happy being sat down with no food in front of them as they would instantly start screaming and disrupting other customers' meals. We chose to walk them around or distract them otherwise until food arrived. We were quoted health and safety regulations and told to put them in chairs. Totally within staff and owner rights to do so and we complied. But you can imagine that dampened the mood somewhat and turned a potentially lovely lunch into a marathon to eat and get out. Shame, place has potential. We asked about kids on the booking and when arriving and told it would be fine.

Lovely well cooked food with excellent ingredients. Every member of staff were welcoming and friendly.

Great place for lunch. Good value for money!

Really lovely local restaurant with fabulous food. Had the lambshank this time which fell off the bone! Been there several times and always wonderful food, good portions ,and at realistic prices! Great atmosphere and quirky art work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Such a lovely place but having taken two business colleagues there who were visiting battle for the first my time, it was a very disappointing experience. Staff clearly overwhelmed (and underwhelming) even though not busy, and food less than average. Will not be booking again, I'm afraid which is particularly disappointing as we strive to support our local businesses.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit this place. The first thing I can say is that the service staff is very kind and sociable, offered us a table and we made an order .. They brought us drinks first and we did not have to wait long and brought us a seafood platter starter It was delicious. enough for two, and it cost us 41 pounds .. **(bit expensive.) Then we ordered Sirloin steak with chips and Sole with lemon sauce with mushrooms ** interesting dish and the taste was with a chef's twist .. well, in a good way. Well I can only recommend this place .Everything was delicious and great atmosphere. One was missing at the end of everything on a plate of mint candy.🍬

Unreal food nice friendly staff and very lucky to live so local to it. Mine and my wifes favourite restaurant

Lovely food and friendly staff. Very nicely decorated and atmosphere too. Will definitely go back

Lovely staff doing their best, as always. Food great and company excellent. Would certainly recommend this for a family meal ..

Great ambience to start with, good food. Sadly the service was very poor throughout the evening. The customer service and attitude of staff was quite shocking. For example, and that is only one example of many throughout the evening, a waitress grabbed our glasses which we haven’t finished - not asking “would you like more drink?” But being obsessed with taking them away, spilling content on our table more than once and then briskly walking away without clearing it up. All staff except one seemed very unhelpful, untrained, highly strung, and just rude. The Eton mess was messy with no meringue and too much whipped cream and little fruit. We won’t be coming back.

We found this fantastic gem of a restaurant after a chance visit to the local brewery shop nextdoor. Really friendly and efficient staff, polite throughout. We had not booked but they quickly sorted us a table. Pinot and IPA good price and flavour. Food really tasty and good size portions which arrived quite quickly and piping hot. Would definitely recommend and revisit. Nothing not to love!

After a trip to the Abbey on a very hot day, we wanted somewhere for a quick lunch bite. The promise of air con was the main allure the begin with but after a quick look at the menu, it soon became clear we'd be having more than a 'lite bite'. All the staff were very friendly; quick and attentive without being overbearing. We wondered in just before 3:00pm so it was fairly quiet but we didn't feel rushed. The menu was amazing, plenty of choice including plenty of seafood. We opted for a seafood spaghetti from the special board and it was absolutely delicious. Very generous portion sizes and so much seafood. Would definitely recommend!

The waiters are very welcoming, and the food is very tasty, but the manager is rude and because of her I wouldn't be returning.

The food was excellent and staff very nice 👍

I have had a wonderful evening. The food was great. Staff were friendly and conversational. No rush good customer service pleasant surroundings.

Had lovely lunch and homemade dessert. Staff friendly as usual

Service was slow.but what a great place to eat/drink. Food was great

Another great belly of pork meal it was fab great starter to lovely polite staff as usual and now they have a smoker so the menu will include new items cant wait many thanks

Really enjoyable evening, the team looked after us and we had a great meal. Thank you

Fabulous services, cocktails and delicious food. Fantastic Birthday/Anniversary celebration. Staff so helpful and friendly.

Would give 5 stars 🌟 if we could grab the waiters attention without waiting for a long long long time. I like how the restaurant was decorated. The food was amazing. I had the Pork Belly and my friend had the Trinity Cheese Burger 🍔 . They are both nice. Except for the fries. I love the pork belly and definitely come back for it. The drinks came out fast. The waiter gave us cutlery without the napkins and we had to wait for awhile until we could grab the waiter attention to give us some even thought the place was quite since we visited at 4pm. 2 mains 2 drinks for 2 people, from arrival until finished took us 1 hour and 40 minutes. It took forever until we gave up on trying to get attention from the 4 waiters so we had to go to the bar and pay. Recommend if you visit Battle, want good food and have a handful of time 🙃

We tried this resturant again tonight as we haven't been since lockdown the food was OK ish the staff were lovely apart from the lady who seemed to he incharge that came across rather off putting and to be honest scruffy appearance in trainers and jeans no uniform I found it very ammerterish and tbh if your charging more money I would expect there to be more uniformity and I don't want to hear about the customer that's complaining because you forgot part of their order I heard everything the boss /manager needs to look like the boss unfortunately we won't be returning well done to the staff but you need to need to spend some money on uniform and training

Service a little slow and, fortunately, the last piece of chicken was still raw in the middle. Only reaction was to 'show it to the kitchen'.

Nice meal. Pleasant staff. Need to book evenings. When busy service can be a bit slow.

Highly annoying! We stopped here for some lunch to check out if it was any different to whites which we had enjoyed many times before at this location. The staff were friendly and polite but did feel a little rushed when ordering drinks and disappointed that they do not stock diet lemonade ( I am diabetic) . I looked through the menu and ordered the chowder and the pork belly a starter and main for 16.50 both of which I’ve had when it was whites so thought it would probably be nice and both were nice ! when my husband came to pay the bill we’d been charged full price from the main menu and not the lunch menu, my husband questioned this and was told you have to specify( and made to feel a little bit silly ! ) when ordering as the lunch plates are smaller than the standard dishes. In my experience a lunch deal menu is just selected items from the main menu. No apology was offered. We fully expect to have a rude response after reading feedback from the manager which probably sums it up ! such a shame but we won’t be returning !

Very nice food lovely atmosphere would recommend this place.

Amazing food .....best meal i have had in battle ...beautiful ....lovely staff also

Very good food. A bit expensive in my opinon, but very good made. I would go there a second time.

Food was really lovely. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was very friendly. Staff worked extremely hard but were courteous at all times

Firstly, the food was brilliant. It always has been here, and I would go back to eat it again. When we arrived we were served and our order was taken very quickly. Sadly, after we had ordered it became apparent there was a specials board that no one had mentioned. Upon seeing it there were dishes we would have chosen first, but we didn't see it on the way in. Not the end of the world, but would have been nice to have been told. Once underway, our initial drinks, starters and mains all came out fairly swiftly. Sadly from then on, the service was a little ropey. Everyone was very friendly, but there seemed to be a bit of a lack of experience and once we had our mains we felt a little forgotten about. It had gotten a lot busier since we arrived, but the staff still had plenty of opportunities to serve us but didn't. It took a very long time for our mains to be cleared, and a long time again for us to be given dessert menus. Eventually we decided we didn't want to have to wait as long again to for desserts or potentially wait for the bill, so I went to the bar and paid so we could leave. All in all, it's a lovely venue and the food is excellent. Sadly the service was lacking this time round, but having had better experiences in the past I would give the service team the benefit of the doubt for now. I hope to return in future and be proven wrong as the restaurant is a great asset to the town.

Absolutely awful... Rushed service, seafood platter was terrible.

Very nice abit noisy, food good, large portions, quite expensive, but value for money

Steal cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Must visit

Amazing place to eat at, The restaurant itself looked amazing and the waiters and waitresses were really nice And the food was just absolutely 👌 I wouldn’t listen to any bad reviews here, maybe that person was just having a bad day - because Trinity of Battle is a great place to eat

Great meals , 2 weeks running , will be back

great food and service,excellent atmosphere, Thanks from Simon,Mike & Sally at Marriotts Photo Stores. Happy Christmas & a prosperous new year.

Great food great service ,what more can you want . Well worth a visit

Amazing food and service..thanks ladies. Xx

Great food and service as always love the place 💕

Whites of Battle is based in a fantastic old building and the style inside is great. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food is delicious and the staff were really helpful and friendly. I will definitely be going back again.

Food very good service mediocre

Arrived early and made to feel welcome...offered drinks immediately and left to browse menu....5 ladies that lunch and all satisfactorily suited to their choices Excellent meal and ladies room very pleasant too!!

I was utterly delighted by the Crispy Calamari, which was so light, crispy, perfectly seasoned with a tasty little salad mix on the side, followed by an equally delicious baked goats cheese tart with another fresh and very tasty salad. The warm chocolate brownie with honeycomb ice cream was to die for, just a bit big for one, so it was ideal that we were sharing it. The pretty waitress Lillie was also delightful, very friendly and very attentive. Full praise indeed!

Service was good, new menu not so good. Meat was not smoked as advertised and was bland.

Have been here several times and always enjoyed the food. The new lunchtime menu has lots of great choices, I had the mussels in white wine to start, scampi for the main course which came with a beautifully presented salad and the chips were delicious. Hygiene is of a high standard and customers feel safe and looked after. Highly recommended, we will be back for more.

Great restaurant good service good menu and reasonable price. I had a good visit here Saturday night I made a reservation by telephone and arrived and was seated. Good choice of drinks and lots of Gin and Tonics available. Plenty of specials and I enjoyed a calamari starter which was delicious. I had pork belly for main course and my partner had mixed moules with seafood. Good oysters and a good overall experience. Nice location with well designed table and dining area.

Our booking was missing on arrival. Rectified fairly quickly and we were given free drinks. Starter was brought out whilst my partner was using the facilities, which is not really done if someone is missing from the table. However, starter fabulous, lovely & hot, very tasty. Main course was brought out whilst I was using the facilities, my partner asked them to bring it back, which they did 2 minutes later. Both our main courses were lukewarm. Manager offered to have them recooked but it would be about 15 minutes. Mains brought out 10 minutes or so later and it was the same food reheated. Manager denied this but after speaking to chef, she admitted that they had. Asked what she could do and we said to discuss after we had eaten as food now going cold. Chips were advertised as rosemary & salted but I had to ask for water, they were SO salty. Dessert & coffee lovely. When I asked server who brought bill about discussing discount with manager, he shrugged his shoulders and said I'm just dealing with payment. Dreadful customer service all round. Spoilt a very lovely, special day. 😢

Booked this beautiful restaurant a few weeks before we came & so glad we did as they were having to turn people away on the night. Very welcoming on arrival & even moved us (lucky for us) as we felt a bit in the middle of the room & tbf our seafood platter starter was taking up ALL the room on the table, great choice as it was FAB highly recommend, our mains did not disappoint either tho I didn’t manage to eat it all so husband finished it, the mash was to die for as was the pork belly 😋 he had the meat box & loved it all. Defo did not have room for pud but ordered the affogato & 2 spoons & the chocciest chocolate fudge came with it. Massive shout out to the very busy & very hard working staff, you are all a credit to the restaurant, fab food, fab bar selection & fab evening, Thankyou for having us

Very nice place to eat...varied menu...Good portions...pleasant staff . Atmospheric.

Extraordinary choice on menu and daily specials made us overwhelmed with choices. In a good way! We had amongst others a clam chowder starter that beat anything in San Francisco. We had a daily special Thai mussels with all the Thai flavours and enough seasoning to say taste was amazing. Our entire meal was perfect. The service staff were helpful, polite and attentive. Wish we had more time in Sussex so we could eat here again

Great food,good service & great atmosphere will definitely return 👍

Our first visit to Whites and wasn't disappointed. Really pleasant experience. Excellent customer service. Good variety of dishes to chose from. Quality of food was very good, nicely presented and very tasty. If you like seafood this a place you should try.

4th meal in Whites lately and they came up trumps yet again. Lovely food cooked perfectly, very generous sized portions, fantastic service and waitress Ellie was spot on... we'll be back in 2 weeks 😁

Good and dependable fish and seafood but a bit traditional and absolutely no vegan options which was a shame.
