The best restaurants in River Arun South East

Normally had breakfast when family came over, tea and cake as I live near by. service was excellent food and always busy was the perfect place in the summer. Unfortunately as from the new year 2024 it's closed! 😕

I went to the Boat House the other week and I ordered the kedgeree. It was £15.95 which is a lot for what you get. The rice was hard and the fish obviosuly wasn’t fresh. I am extremely disappointed with the food as it used to be such good quality. I think the prices are very expensive and not worth the food quality, making me not want to come back again. I also met the owner and when I spoke to her she seemed very unwelcoming and rude. I also heard another conversation between her and another member of staff slagging off one of the other customer or staff I cannot be certain as to which one it was. As a customer having only been a few a time,this really came as a suprise to me to see no professionalism whatsoever. I am very upset and again disappointed with my experience. All around it just wasn’t an enjoyable place to be. This is such a shame as to what use to be a nice place for food can be so toxic and shocking.

Was in the area and fancied a curry, this is a very small restaurant near the water and offers the usual menu options. Very nice food and the bill was surprisingly low.

Second time I’ve been here recently & I chose 2 different dishes & so did my son all of them were very tasty. Will definetly visit again in the future.

Lunch with friends in this charming cafe with a lovely menu. I had the moules frites which was amazing, my friends had the scampi and the vegan burger. Very generous portions and delicious food served in a trendy relaxed environment in a prime spot by the river. Staff were lovely, food was fresh and served quickly - would highly recommend 👍🏻.

Firebird is a lovely place for both good food and friendly staff . We weren’t rushed and had a great chat with the owner. Food was cooked to order and very tasty. Also plenty of it .

I went with my boyfriend and my family today and had an amazing time the food was brilliant and the place is very clean and the staff are amazing. A special thanks to the owner Jimmy for giving us a brilliant time and serving us our food quickly after ordering Will definitely come back and me and my family including my boyfriend thinks you should too!

The staff here are lovely, really friendly and very helpful with giving you tips on how to cook things and recipes !!

Fish is lovely, best in the area

Takeaway Kamal - Husband found piece of metal in his curry. Looks like a rivet type screw with circular head, he spat it out but could have ended very badly. No response from restaurant. Health hazard.

ordered all dishes chicken and all lamb arrived.. naan bread missing.. not good. had to wait for a redelivery ,then a 3rd time went to collect another mistake... what was supposed to be a family dinner was people eating at all different times.

Tasty, reasonably priced lunch. Very busy but got a great table overlooking the harbour. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will def visit again.

Saturday evening 29th and we visited this riverside bar as we were attending a birthday party being held here. We really liked the qwerky and zany decor and fixtures around the establishment, spent some time just walking about looking around. The food that was catered for the party was well presented, lots of it and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, the bar was clean and well maintained. Perhaps the drinks were a bit more expensive than we are accustomed to, no surprise really due to it’s location.

Lovely food and a smile from driver is a nice surprise
