The best restaurants in Battle Town Rother South East

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

A great find and a well deserved cuppa after spending the morning exploring the lovely town of Battle. Friendly Staff and dog friendly.

Cute little care with a children’s play area. My husband just popped in to get us coffees and came out with a raspberry vegan croissant & Bakewell tart. Both the treats and coffee were lovely. Staff were nice and friendly.

Thank you so much we had my friends baby shower on Sunday and it was absolutely fabulous wonderful service beautifully decorated. Nothing was too much trouble and the afternoon tea was amazing. I would highly recommend. Thank you. Bluebells tea room.

Had a lovely meal here on the 1st December with some of my friends who I used to work with & the food was superb. The staff was excellent, very friendly & extremely helpful. Highly recommended for a night out at any time of the year Superb All Round

If you’re considering the pilgrims rest as a venue for your big day….DO IT! Do not hesitate!! It is honestly the most beautiful and special place, it just has the wow factor as soon as you step inside the gorgeous big wooden front door! It took our breath away and we booked at first sight! First venue we visited too and I am so glad we did! We opted for an Apres Ski themed winter wedding and it was spot on!!! The decor they have in there was beyond perfect and beautiful! Amy & Waverley are just saints! They couldn’t have been any better, the whole wedding party was raving about how hard they worked and always with a smile on their faces! Amy was my main point of contact and she was a star throughout the whole process! Answering my millions of questions and giving very helpful guidance on absolutely anything we needed! She literally made the whole process so less stressful and a lot of fun! We are so so glad we chose the pilgrims rest! Our guests said it was the most amazing day and they adored the venue! Thank you so so much team, we are so grateful for all of your hard work making our day soooo incredible!! From the new Mr & Mrs Harris ❤️

Incredible Thai Takeaway from Thai Orchid! I ordered from Thai Orchid recently, and it was absolutely fantastic! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The Jungle Curry was an absolute highlight—packed with fresh vegetables, aromatic spices, and just the right level of heat. It had that rich, deep flavor you’d expect from a proper Thai curry, without being too heavy. The Tiger Butterflied Prawns were beautifully cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, with a deliciously crisp texture. I also had the Garlic and Ginger Rice, which was fragrant, perfectly fluffy, and complemented the other dishes so well. And of course, the Tom Yum Soup was spot on—bold, tangy, and full of that signature Thai kick, with just the right balance of lemongrass, lime, and chili. The whole meal was fresh, authentic, and delivered hot and on time. You can really tell that Thai Orchid takes pride in their food. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon! Highly recommended.

The lady who served us was excellent and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The food however was dreadful, we were the only 2 eating in there and my order was wrong. I didn't want to make a fuss so I kept it but the chicken was so tough I couldn't even cut it up. It felt like a frozen chicken breast that was cooked quickly. The male bartender was rude and said i was just moaning because I'd ordered the wrong thing and we over heard that. Would thoroughly avoid. My partner's roast tasted frozen too. Terrible experience .

We had a lovely meal here, the restaurant is beautiful inside and out and the staff were very friendly! Our food was delicious, there’s a good range of drinks/cocktails to choose from and everything is reasonably priced. We would definitely come back if we visit Battle again!

Our second visit here and both time we found everything just great. The staff are always friendly and attentive and the food really well cooked and plentiful. Definitely go again!

Cosy and welcoming. With great friendly service. If you enjoy pub food that is definately a cut above the rest then The Railway is a must. Served fresh & piping hot, the meals are varied, well presented and delicious. With plenty of choices & and good options for vegan or veggie. There is something for everyone. My first visit, but definitely not my last. Highly recomended.

We had a great steak dinner over Christmas in Trinity of Battle. Delicious food! Excellent service! Warm and cosy atmosphere next to a most beautiful Christmas tree ever.

Excellent food and service lovely cafe/restaurant in the heart of battle and a bonus of great staff highly recommend.

Gemma really looked after us, reserving a table on a busy night, and serving us drinks within the happy hour. They don’t do food but allowed us to bring a takeaway pizza in. Great atmosphere and great pub 😍

Mandys cheese and bacon turnover is the best I've ever had, excellent ingredients. They also made our dogs very welcome with a sausage.
