The best restaurants in Rother South East

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!

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

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!

Stayed in Battle for few days had intended to book afternoon tea here but sadly didn’t get round to it, stopped in for breakfast on our last day which was lovely. Lady serving us was very friendly and chatty. We also enjoyed the cakes we bought to take home. Great music playing too.

Unbelievable restaurant, if you’re in bexhill… VISIT! Authentic Latin American food all my family loved. Great hospitality too! Thanks guys :)

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

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.

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.

Had the pleasure of eating at The Grill House twice on a recent weekend visit to Bexhill. We tried several dishes during our two visits and everything was cooked to perfection and tasted genuinely incredible. We had the halloumi chips, bulz, goulash, chiftele, moussaka, tochitura, cheesecake and papanasi (an absolute must). The wines too were of very high quality and complimented the food perfectly. Great owners and staff, really nice decor and atmosphere and an amazing location means we will definitely return on our next visit. I would urge anybody in the area to come to this fabulous restaurant.

Exceptional, best take away in Bexhill

Wanted somewhere to eat before going to Bedgebury for the Xmas Lights display. Only place open for a mid afternoon meal. WOW! What a find! Don't be deceived by appearances, this restaurant is amazing! Incredible food, fabulous service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back! Thank you A21 Aroma!

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.

This has to be one of the friendliest establishments I have ever frequented. Amazingly good quality on all fruit and vegetables and so lovely to see how much they support local suppliers. Highly recommended
