The best restaurants in Meads Eastbourne South East

Amazing value and service. We had meze for two, only £9.95, 6 cold dishes and 2 warm sitting outside in the sun. Have returned several times and recommended it to family and friends.

We came down from Epsom in Surrey for a weekend break. We looked up an Indian restaurant and found the Taj. Food was amazing very tasty. Staff were extremely attentive and could not do more for you.

Went last night and had trout, croquettes, and padron peppers to start, and sharing chateaubriand with chunky chips and all the sauces for main. It was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The bill was about £75/head and that included bread, water, a bottle of wine, and service. We need more restaurants like Cru in Eastbourne please.

Not much to say other than the best food we’ve had for a long time. Value for money is incredible and their food tastes better than some expensive Thai restaurants we have frequented recently. The Massaman Curry is superb! Be sure to order that. We will be going here every time we are in Eastbourne.

Having eaten at Skylark a few times previously (and it always being great!) I emailed them about having our wedding reception there. Well I’m so glad I did. Erina and her team were amazing. The food was exceptional (literally every single guest told me on the day or messaged me after, saying how great the food and staff were.) I had a vegan guest who said the whole meal was delicious and my 6 year old niece loved her specially made fancy chicken nuggets. Erina even boxed up some leftovers for us to take home for the dog!!! The whole afternoon was perfect and we now have a great place to go for date nights as Skylark will always be special to us. (Annoyingly I don’t really have any photos of the food from our wedding day, I’m hoping when our official ones come there might be a couple that I can add!!)

We had a really great coffee and almond croissant, a must try! It was very good service and atmosphere at The Olive Tree, highly recommend!

My partner and I went here for some lunch, we had toasted sandwiches and the best bowl of proper chips to share. I am writing this review not just for the good food, lovely homely atmosphere but also for the friendly service. My partner paid by cash and he paid and we got up to leave and walk out and the owner a lovely gentleman stopped us just before we walked out of the front door and gave my partner back a £20.00 note explaining that when he paid two £20.00 notes were stuck together. Such honets service which you wouldn't always get everywhere. Thank you and we will be back for your lovely food and genuine service.

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.

The welcome is very warm, the staff are very smiling and the coffee is even more so 😍😍

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.

Always such a warm and friendly welcome! Has a great menu with lots of options, depending on what youre in the mood for. The best coffee on the street 🌟

Wonderfully tasty food in a cafe that is beautifully arranged and welcoming. Great coffee, service with a smile and dog friendly. Look forward to many future visits.

Popping down to Eastbourne on two occasions recently to view property we stumbled up this marvellous unpretentious cafe in the Meads (not far from 2 Estate Agents!). The service was exemplary and the food by Tara, the owner, was superb. The americano coffees were excellent. I had 3 different cheeses, pickled onions, perfect salad for my cheese platter and ONLY £7.50. Every time from now on we will use this cafe!

Muy amable, buen servicio. Muy limpio. Distanciamiento social. Nos decepcionó que no tuviéramos mucha variedad de pasteles. Quizás habían estado ocupados antes.
