The best restaurants in Rother South East

Came down for lunch and had the carribean chilli burger . Bloody lush it was too . Will definitely be coming back for more .

Hay una gran variedad de chocolates, calientes y fríos. Probé un batido de chocolate y estaba exquisito, realmente vale la pena pasarse si estás por la zona. Delicioso!

We visited the restaurant last year and the food was amazing ,booked for valentines night and we was shocked at how different the experience was ,the food was cold. Service slow ,£8 for 4 thin slices of aubergine, told we had all our dishes but infact were 4 short ,told staff food was cold and on return it had clearly been blasted by the microwave ,tasteless food never again ,oh and had to eat tapas with no plate ,but the cocktails were delicious,

First time at the The Works Cafe for breakfast. The service was excellent especially from Chloe and Donna. The breakfast was amazing. Will definitely be going back!

We always buy our fish from here when in Rye. Great choice, friendly staff and most importantly superb fish. Always helpful in choosing the best fish for you.

Celebrated birthday party with friends and family. The food was excellent, the service was brilliant, very friendly atmosphere. We definitely will be going again.

Good variety of dishes on offer; the starter Caprese Salad was big enough for two to share. The staff are super nice and the food always good. I chose the Sunday roast which was lamb and cleared my plate! The sea bass, halibut and liver are all recommended too.

This small fronted winery can almost be missed when walking along Cinque Ports Street in Rye. But spot it and venture in and you'll be greeted by wonderful hosts (Graham and his wife) who really make you feel welcome. The fairly small interior is cosy but nice and their extensive knowledge of wines is second to none. It's not expensive either. Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back.

Oh, where do I even begin with Scott’s Tea Room? It’s a delightful gem hidden in the heart of the village—and, let’s be honest, once you catch a glimpse of Scott himself, you won’t be thinking about tea. Imagine a cozy little haven, with the aromas of freshly baked scones mingling in the air, all served by a man who looks like he just stepped out of a Viking movie set. Yes, Scott is hunky, bald, and bearded, and honestly, it should be illegal to make tea and cakes while looking that good. The tea selection? Impeccable. The cakes? Life-changing. But it’s the service that’s the real star here. I mean, this guy pours tea like it’s a ritual handed down through generations of ruggedly handsome warriors. Scott can bring out a Victoria sponge like he’s presenting Excalibur, and somehow, the cup of Earl Grey tastes better because he poured it. Need sugar with that? Just catch his eye—trust me, it’s the only sugar you’ll need. If you’re passing through the village, make it a priority to stop here. Come for the tea, stay for the Scott. And if he happens to flex while pouring your milk? Well, that’s just a bonus.

Went to Netherfield cafe while working on a development site nearby . I can confidently say that the service was amazing as was the food. Would recommend !

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Small and cosy, delicious food, super friendly and personal service. I have been a number of times and it is my go-to restaurant for meeting friends for lunch/dinner and a catch up, also perfect for a date night with my partner. The prices are so so reasonable as well. 1000% recommend novecento.

Had lunch with a family of five - everything was perfect. We had Prawn Tempura and a large selection of Sushi and Sashimi. This place offers a variety of more adventurous Japanese and Korean food, and that makes it stand out from many other places, where the selection is more mainstream. Jasmine Tea was excellent, too, and the staff was attentive and friendly. I enjoy Sushi restaurants wherever I go, and this one's outstanding.

I go here often for Coffee excellent coffee and very friendly environment. Would strongly recommend anyone to go here.

Dropped in on spec when driving through. Friendly ambiance, excellent food freshly cooked. Looking forward to finding an excuse to go again.
