The best restaurants in River Arun South East

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.

This is frustrating as the food is great but the length of time it takes to deliver is completely unacceptable. We are currently waiting on an order we placed 1.5 hours ago. This is not ok. This is also not the first time. Seriously guys…. Sort it out! It’s not ok!

Somewhat smaller than the photograph suggests. Probably a bit cramped when full. Four of us had breakfast which was excellent, freshly cooked where possible, finally found someone who can do a runny egg, all of us were impressed and said we would return. I had the American breakfast, jumbo sausage, fried egg, hash browns, bacon, pancakes and maple syrup, with a slice of toast and butter, excellent value at £6.50 plus two teas. I don’t mind the tea bag being left in so I can choose the strength but others might. One colleague had poached eggs on toast the other two a standard breakfast fry up which they said was good. The only problem is that are moving in a weeks time across the river to a busier area. If they continue the high standards there they should do well. Unfortunately as in their current location parking will still not be easy. The current place is very clean and nicely presented, the staff were friendly and helpful, we will definitely give the new location a try.

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 .

Today me and my partners family came in for a meal and it was an amazing meal great value for money the drink with the meal was great quality too. The staff was amazing and we didn’t have to wait for long to get our meal It was well served and a very nice and clean restaurant I recommend you to this restaurant

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

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 cod and chips which used to be really good unfortunately this time was awful, the fish was over cooked and like rubber, the chips were not fresh as if they were recooked from lunch. the cost has doubled from a couple of years ago but the quality has gone right down, we will not be going there again.

Great food, great deal on a Monday evening, banquet night. 👍

Food is really well prepared using good quality ingredients. The restaurant is accessible to less mobile customers. The morning atmosphere and views were lovely. There is something for all ages and appetites. We will return.

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.

Food was 10 out of 10, absolutely delicious
