The best restaurants in Rother South East

Loved everything about it: food, service, setting. Great coffee and fresh juice. Very friendly proprietor, who knows the area well. Ive been there a number of times and never been disappointed. Its just a shame its not open more. Tends to be weekends at the moment.

First time visited today , will certainly come again , food was lovely, and staff very friendly, I would certainly recommend it, and will certainly go again, when I can get there my P A took me today. Thank you Mark Apted.

The team are very friendly and I love service with a smile. The food has gone through many changes and trials but now is really hitting the mark. Lovely food lovely staff. Such a great turn around since the New Inn has been reborn.

Warm, friendly service with the best Danish pastries I have ever eaten. My granddaughter devour her ice cream, claiming it to be super delicious! Would highly recommend a visit to this excellent café.

Found this by chance, cute little cafe, very good coffee which was a delightful surprise. I ordered the granola bowl - good size and was delicious. Would definitely go back.

Curry night on Monday is well worth a visit, but unlike us do book ahead. The pub very kindly managed to fit us in but given the amount of people enjoying the food there, we were very lucky.

This was a welcome find for my wife and I on the road from Ashford back to Hastings as we'd been seriously looking for somewhere for a coffee. After parking in the large off-road car park we were made to feel very welcome by the two ladies in this beautifully presented, neat and clean Cafe/Shop. We took advantage of a promotion whereby you could combine a coffee with a bap for a discount. Both were excellent, and the discount was generous enough to make it very affordable. The shop was packed with an amazing array of fresh farm produce along with other locally produced products. Mercifully for the traveller, there is a toilet on the outside of the cafe.

Good food, good service, fair prices

Very good food. Service a little slow but understandable in the run up to Christmas.

This cafe is amazing. Stopped here for a sandwich before the long drive home and so glad we did. The sandwich (Brie, bacon and cranberry for me, chicken, bacon mayo for mom) was the best I’ve ever had. Nice thick slices of the freshest bread and stuffed full of filling. The small salad on the side was just right and the coleslaw was devine. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful from the minute you step in. Highly recommend if this cafe if you are looking for good food.

Really warm and welcoming restaurant, I have used Mardi Spice for over 16 years and can honestly say, their food is fantastic, cooked to your liking. Highly recommend them.

Told to sit, 1 waitress doing bin, two stood eating, one clearing table,after 15/20 mins oder not taken we left, not good enough at 3.50 pm

A cracking little pub. We were in Battle as participants at the Battle of Hastings event at the abbey. Popped in on the Friday night, and came back the Saturday it was so nice. Friendly, attentive staff, great atmosphere and one of the finest pints of Harveys in the county..

Intended visit to Rye Always use this cafe as a stop over when driving the coastal route. Small, clean, friendly and they make a wonderful mug of Yorkshire tea! Had a bacon sandwich as well 😋 yummy.

Have eaten here and had takeaways from Little India on multiple occasions now and until yesterday I’d always been relatively happy with my meal. However yesterday we ordered a takeaway for my Mothers birthday and while the main dishes were tasty the naan bread we shared tasted strongly of mould. Its put me off massively unfortunately.
