The best restaurants in Central Rother South East

Absolutely lovely time here, atmosphere, staff and food all spot on. Well done to Staupos and all the staff. Would highly recommend

We visited here after reading great reviews. Regrettably what we have just experienced for £60 has been appalling. Two dishes arrived before drinks - they were actually intended for another table it later transpired. The seafood cocktail was barely defrosted seafood mix in a watery ‘sauce’, the waiter had no idea what the dishes were, the cocktails took forever to arrive..it goes on. When I complained I was told the chef was away and they were trying to cover things. They were failing miserably. I’m genuinely anticipating the possibility that we will have food plus from tonight. Do not believe the photos before on here - we saw nothing like those dishes tonight.

I often come here for morning coffee with friends and we are normally very happy with the coffee, but the last couple of times we have all agreed that the coffee is not as good as it used to be. Is it a different kind of coffee or do you have a new Barista? It is always very busy when we come so perhaps the coffee making has just been a bit rushed? I wonder whether anyone else has said anything. Hope it was just a blip as we love everything else about the cafe.

Exceptional, best take away in Bexhill

Delicious!!! Worth seeking out. The owners were so lovely and supplied my dog some water on a very hot day. The ice creams we had were very good.

Had a wonderful afternoon with friends at aFic this week. Colin has beautiful wines and lovely snacks (we had tempura prawns, breaded mushrooms, cheese & crackers). Just the best! Booking advised.

Nice friendly cafe with some authentic Greek dishes.

Wonderful Sunday lunch, with great service and ambience. They even very kindly rustled up some final pieces of pork left from the day's roast to add to our delicious tartiflette. Thank you!

First visit today but only for a tea and a coffee but very impressed, already looking forward to our second visit for a breakfast or lunch!

Always loved strive, really hope the current closure will be temporary and will be back soon, was our favourite go to place, and we're really missing it! Please come back in time for Christmas cakes!

Amazing service from Sophie and the rest of the team. Lovely staff. Food was the best I have ever had from here. I definitely would recommend

Fantastic food, beautifully cooked, delivered by an extremely polite courier.

Such a beautifully clean and comfortable room. All of the extra touches were appreciated. Spotlessly clean and large comfortable bed, I had an excellent night’s sleep. The owners were charming, welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was tasty, hot and very filling. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing experience at kitchen, Nestled near the city center, it’s a hidden gem for authentic Nepali food lovers. The menu has a fantastic range of traditional Nepali dishes, from flavorful momos to a beautifully spiced dal bhat set. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, with spices that felt both vibrant and comforting. The staff here were warm and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and were happy with our meal. Their friendliness and knowledge about the dishes really added to the experience. Whether you’re familiar with Nepali cuisine or trying it for the first time, it is a must-visit spot. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!
