The best restaurants in Ouse Valley and Ringmer Lewes South East

Food was amazing so much choice, staff was so friendly and kind, quick service. Every time I have been there brilliant service and so many different choices of cakes each time!

This venue at Tollgate is a super stop for me as it’s on my main cycling routes - I’ve been stopping by weekly for months now and the coffee is the best, bacon and avo sandwiches are superb and Kim and Sophie are always so friendly. A must for all cyclists looking for a really worthwhile break. Thanks guys, for all your hard work! Best Alan

Really good stuff😉sausage and egg bap very well cooked and tasty. Maureen is a great host and we had an interesting conversation with the other customers that came. Be back soon Jamie

Always good, fantastic portions

We stopped in for a meal in the way to the Dieppe ferry. Sadly they are “just a drinking pub” we were told but the lady behind the bar was very happy to direct us to a pub serving food. Very helpful to get us to a pub which did serve food.

Food good, service good. Problem with this place is its far too cold, asked for heating to be turned up only to be told the manager is not in today and she is the only one who can do it. Why do you have doors wide open right through the WINTER. Most people eating with coats on not a good experience.

Came across this place on the last leg of a walk on the Downs a few years back. Returned today to find all was closed down and overgrown, despite a website i ducati g to the contrary. . How on earth someone managed to submit a good review on 4th Sep is rather strange. The location and feel of the garden, with the gravel pathways and cottage type beds, was once absolutely idyllic. Not surprised it hasn't survived - the following is what I drafted back then. Pethaps I should have read the signs... "There were lots of tables and chairs to choose from, some in some very welcome shade. We were rather dirty and sweaty, so didn't really notice the standard of the furniture. We sat and recovered, reading our papers. The drinks and lunch were of very good quality and tasty, so we didn't mind the above average prices. However, the speed of service and attitude of the older woman were bad. I can't therefore give a good rating.. The place was not crowded, and we had to remind them about our order (tea, cold drinks and salad) after 30 minutes - when an adjacent table was served before us, having arrived 10 minutes or so after us. When our order was delivered, our comment was "oh, lovely, we're ready for this", to which the woman replied "oh have you been waiting - we can only work so fast in this heat you know". Clearly someone who finds it easy to make it the customer's problem. Just an apology would have done. Shall go back though, for the location, but perhaps just for a cuppa next time (would possibly be cold tho).

My sister and I attended a wreath making evening tonight at 'Little Cottage Tea Rooms and Gardens'. It was so enjoyable and I came away with a Christmas wreath! Never made one before and was quite pleased with the result (my ability was the only drawback 😄). Jo, who owns the place, was absolutely charming and it was obvious that she has her customer satisfaction at heart. Jo went above and beyond and I am sure that any experience in that delightful place will be a good one.

Lovely cafe, with good food, atmosphere and customer service. We very much enjoyed our visit and were even given a little birthday treat. Makes all the difference.

Friday evening visit to the local chippy. Friendly staff, fish was a generous size and really tasty with crispy batter. Chips were well cooked, and were still crispy when we got them home. Really good, thank you!

Great pub with brilliant atmosphere Good food served by very friendly staff. Definitely be back.

I was in the area and got a lovely meal meal there with an excellent service. Definitely I would eat there again and I can highly recommend the place.

Excellent food, service, atmosphere and price. Menu is impressive, great variety. Beautiful country location, dog friendly and ample parking. Can’t wait to go back and sample more delights.

We were told the takeaway food would be about 20 minutes, so arrived after about 25 just to be sure. Unfortunately this was nowhere near how long it actually took. We waited an hour in the end for the food and quickly drove the 2 minutes home, when we arrived home everything on the order apart from one item was stone cold. We ate the food because we were all hungry by this time and needed to feed the kids, the food itself wasn’t bad. But the wait and fact it was cold I probably wouldn’t return. Unless you’ve got plenty of time on your hands and like cold food! A shame because it’s the only kebab place in the village, during the week it’s still slow but better. Maybe I’ll drive the extra few minutes to Lewes in future…

Lovely and soft fresh bread with crisp crusts. Lots of gorgeous cakes and pastries. The doughnuts are squishy with loads of icing.
