The best restaurants in South East

I decided to visit this coffee house whilst on a shopping trip today. Unfortunately the initial pleasant ambiance was ruined by a lady worker, shouting very aggressively at a young member of staff who looked very upset and shocked. She chose to reprimand him publicly without showing any concern for how that affected him, her other stuff and the experience of customers on the premises. Her unprofessional attitude and conduct was shocking to witness. I frequent many coffee houses and cafes across the town but absolutely nothing could encourage me to return here and I will advise friends and family of my poor experience of this place too.

Brilliant meal .Food excellent. lovey clean restaurant and helpful staff. Kitchen accommodated our request for something that wasn’t on the menu

Lovely visit with a friend to sit out and have coffee during Bunkfest. Unbelievable rudeness from another customer towards the staff who were gracious and tolerant where to eject him would have been entirely appropriate and reasonable. Instead they returned his money as an act of goodwill. Everyone who witnessed this was appalled by how awful he was. Such a lovely cafe!

We found Potter's on a trip to the Pagham local nature reserve. We both had crab rolls which were excellent. They fill the roll with a good amount of crab and nice addition of a few crisps. And all served up in compostable boxes and bags, brilliant!Friendly, cheerful staff too.A nice find.Thank you!

Use this cafe quite often Generally good but in this occasion the staff’s attitude was lacking such a shame 😞😞 Not busy and she wasn’t interested

I visited while in the area for the day and had a lovely lunch. The coffee was really nice and there was a great selection of sweets treats. I also got some scones and quiche to take away which were amazing. A really friendly relaxing atmosphere, can't wait to visit again.

The best restaurant in Eastbourne hands down . The food is always delicious , and usually locally sourced. Try the granola , or the eggs for the beautiful colour and taste. Love it !!!!

Actually we didn’t visit. We ordered a takeaway. All from the curry and Indian end of their varied menu. But I really was so impressed I wanted to “spread the word”. Food was delicious totally. None of us had anything but top praise for nearly all our dishes (goan king prawn curry perhaps the least good - needed a bit more spicing imho) But. Will definitely use again. Everything was also piping hot (we picked up ourselves, but that isn’t always the case even then) And the prices were absolutely fair. Recommended for sure.

Fantastic place and great atmosphere. Good wine and friendly people. Worth a visit! «The best wine is the wine you can enjoy in a place like this»

Wow the people here are so delightful. We were lucky to find this cafe amongst many others that did not look as inviting. The toasted sandwiches were superb, the rolls equally delicious but best of all were the home made cakes. Bonus- excellent coffee served in beautiful cups and mugs. Wonderful cafe.

Love going to the Chapel, lovely service, my kids LOVE the treasure box too and the drinks / food are amazing!! Would definitely recommend!

If you are vegan then you will absolutely LOVE it here. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Bijou premises with added outdoor seating. Clean. Dog friendly. I have given a 4 star rating as i felt the portion was a little on the small side for the price.

Original location, we were allowed to sit at a table in the brewery. Many options to put together your pizza, very nice taste. Enthusiasts can combine this with home-brewed beer.

We live locally and love visiting Cuculo regularly to pick up cheeses, salamis and other Italian treats. Their wine selection is also carefully curated by one of the owners, James, who organises wine tastings (including via collection and zoom during lock-downs!) and even wine tours in Italy. On a Thursday and Friday evening you can pre-order a delicious pizza and enjoy a glass of great wine whilst waiting for it. I can highly recommend their Salare red wine! Do visit as it’s lovely and we’re very lucky to have this cracking deli and wine shop in Heathfield.
