The best restaurants in Rother South East

Thankyou Sophie and Beth for timely and really great service. It was a great family steak night with excellent quality food.

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!

Tasty food and quick service, with the addition of attentive and friendly staff. Comfortable and bright location if you need somewhere to have a brief break from work.

Absolutely hit the spot. We had burgers and the craftsmanship alone is something to get excited but then comes the flavours which are simply out of this world!! So, so impressed and will definitely be revisiting!

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.

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!

Wow! So much excellent food. Don’t visit unless you’re really hungry! We all had different and were so please. Will certainly be back. My husband and I had Lasagna it was great

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.

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.

Had a Dubu burger, chips and an incredible Tiramisu. Burgers was really tasty and exactly I was looking for in terms of the flavour.

Don’t be misled by the carwash in front of it! It really is a gem! Great service and fabulous freshly cooked food. We will be back!

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.

Food is amazing, wines are great, service is excellent and the restaurant is beautifully decorated! We were there to celebrate my partner's bday and even his fussy parents loved everything. I especially love that the chef comes out to check if you are happy with the food, it really shows how much they care. We definitely will be back!

My fella and I usually visit Maidstone a couple of times in the summer, and before we headed off this time I looked up places to eat on Tripadvisor. This place looked a good bet, so we sought it out to try for ourselves and we are very glad we did. What a brilliant place! Not only was the food every bit as good as the reviews promised it would be, but the biggest surprise was the interior - WOW! After walking throught the genteel arcade, the last thing I was expecting was this riot of individualism and colour. As it was only us eating (we were early for lunch...) I took the opportunity to have a good look around and take some photos to share. The lady behind the bar was really friendly, and we were very impressed with the prompt service and the quality / quantity of the food. We will definitely be coming again and would fully recommend this to anyone who enjoys a decent burger at a fair price! :)

Wonderful, hub of the village. So friendly and fresh tasty food. We both had the full breakfast. Local ingredients and so tasty. The atmosphere was fabulous, we left feeling we'd made friends with the owners, the regular clients, and of course It's Dog friendly! Really Worth a visit anytime. Will be making it a regular stop off each time we come up.
