The best restaurants in Battle Town Rother South East

Was such a lovely place and very helpful staff x loved it.

Had to wait over an hour and a half for lunch at 2pm on a Monday and it wasn't worth the wait. We were a large group and the staff confirmed that they could cope with us. However it seemed that they forgot about us/lost our order leading to a long wait.

Yhis was a group lunch and sll enjoyed their food. One lady said it was the best meal she had had - ever.

This pub may not be the most aesthetic from the outside, but truly one of the best pubs I’ve been to in terms of service and food. The food was DELICIOUS and so reasonable. The staff worked so hard and were brilliant in terms of catering for a large group of us and being polite and welcoming. I can’t recommend this place enough!! It’s a must go to!

Good pizza, decent price. No complaints!

My wife and I had lunch in the Battle Rustico yesterday. The decor was very unusual but super effective. Our lunches were delicious and very good value. Emma, who served our food very efficiently, was really friendly and we enjoyed chatting to her. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Tom, the chef, was also very pleasant to talk with and prepared our food very well. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we shall definitely eat at other branches of Rustico.

At Battle Bonfire last night and I have never experienced such bad service. The waiters were so busy talking to people they knew they didn’t even realise half the pint was spilling over and then continued to serve every person they personally knew the second they arrived at the bar which meant those who didn’t know the bartenders had a 30 minute wait. They didn’t even shake the juices so the juice was transparent.

Such friendly and accommodating service. Reserved a table for our group of 10 damp and muddy walkers and made a nice fuss of our dog. The food came quickly and was tasty and we got cake to takeaway too. Maybe a little pricey for what it is but the location is excellent and the service compensates. Would definitely come back.

Food was ok. Deep fried Camembert was delicious but to only get 5 pieces of calamari for £12 was deeply disappointing. Will take me a long time to get over that.

We bumped into this beautiful pub whilst away on business. Very grateful we did. A fantastic pub with friendly staff and frankly outstanding food. Gammon egg and chips was everything you’d want, A salty thick slab of beautiful gammon with perfect eggs and crispy chips. The pie was increíble- a generous slab of (surely) homemade shortcrust pasty, chicken, ham and leek pie with chips, veg and gravy. Deep filled is an understatement! Couldn’t recommend more- a big thanks to Nikki and the staff.

It looks tiny from the outside but the restaurant stretches back inside. The food was excellent, reasonably priced and the service cheerful and efficient. The premises were clean and well designed. I was so pleased we found this place!

Easy to park, easy accessable, telephone orders and counter orders welcome, superb staff, super food, amongst the best, We got a take away Friday 18th October 2024 not been to bonani for a long while, shame to say it's gone totally down hill, paid £11.00 for a balti exotica their dearest curry, the lamb was as tough as leather and full of grissle, the chicken dry and tasteless, the prawns over cooked and tiny, the sauce thin and with out flavour, we through most of it in the bin, also the staff were miserable, we should of stuck to gatley tandoori, won't buy from bonani again.

We were ravenous when we arrived in Battle village and found every establishment either not serving (chef having a meltdown), limited or overpriced options heavily based on bread or pastry (not great for the gluten intolerant amongst us) or shut altogether...so against our better judgement we decided to go to the English Heritage café at the Abbey and Battleground. The offering there was also very limited, we were served by unenthusiastic teenagers and when the food arrived it was thoroughly disappointing. The level of mass production and lack of interest in the eating experience in these heritage chain cafés is quite sad really and as we ate our dry buns with two slivers of luke-warm pork and dry stuffing patty barely moistened by ultra processed apple sauce we overheard a group of French visitors expressing exactly the same sentiments...the food in England is bland and dry. We were embarrassed for our country. Please English Heritage, we beg you, can you address this?! We are members and love what you do in general but your cafés are overpriced and underwhelming.

Lovely fish and chips served with a smile.

Nice food always welcome and friendly atmosphere
