The best restaurants in Rother South East

Dropped in on spec when driving through. Friendly ambiance, excellent food freshly cooked. Looking forward to finding an excuse to go again.

Great place to hide from the sun, food was the best Rye can offer. Exceptional fries, onion rings, burgers and wraps. Lovely friendly staff front and back of house. Made us feel truly welcomed. Five stars

Fantastic staff and B&B . Stayed for 1 night the accommodation was lovely very clean and well decorated. We took our two dogs and they were made to feel special ( the breakfast sausage for the dogs was great our dogs loved it ) . Our breakfast was very tasty and well presented. The honest bar was another great idea and sat by the inglenook fire with our glass of wine was a nice end the the evening . We stayed in a suite upstairs with a beautiful view and our dogs sat for ages by the french doors watching the rabbits 😂😂😂. Overall will definitely go back for longer next time .

It's a little odd but it's pretty hard to find a great coffee in rye. I only drink black coffee so I like one with flavor instead of just a cup of black water I stumbled across this place after walking from camber and I'm so happy I did. The lady who runs it was super nice to me and my dog and makes a great cup of coffee

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.

The yummiest fudge in all of Bodiam, great value and the kids love it! Perfect situation next to the steam train- make a day of it!

We visited the Seafood Bar after seeing it when we bought fresh fish from the adjoining shop. First impressions are that this is just like an Italian simple quayside cafe with an English Brighton Lanes/Borough Market feel. Food a total surprise and wonderful. Those Posh Chips are deceptively filling and soooo delicious, fish roll, scallop roll etc superb. The mussels fresh from the landing boat smell of the sea! Staff very friendly (but not familiar) and always cheerful. I know all the positive reviews of this young cafe will make finding a table difficult but we have so few truly good places to eat that I have to take that chance. This is Nirvana for non meat eaters . Oh, I forgot the music in the area with bench tables and huge oil drum brazier in front of the cooking hut. Very Brighton feel with 70s/80s hits! We are off today for Sunday ‘lunch’ and shall be inside because of the rain. Husband loves the Champagne Beer. He almost fell over with shock at the low price too. I have Americano Coffee (no fancy barista stuff here) and it is seriously good. Wine list impressive, blankets to go over the knee should shivers set in as we are beside the quay. So if you find funds deny your overseas break this year, come along to Seafood Bar and enjoy the continental harbour taverna ambience.

Really nice food, supper convenient after visiting the beach and lovely staff. I would recommend trying it out

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.

The Rye Get Down DJ Night is a great night out. Fantastic mix of music that everyone loves. Friendly atmosphere and great service

Fantastic cafe in the heart of Rye! Run by nice people, serving nice food. Everything we tried was delicious and nourishing.

Lovely food we had a burger obviously home made which is great very tasty service was excellent friendly and efficiant little touches were good too all in all we will definitely be back, thanks.

Came for just tapas and drinks, food was amazing and reasonably priced and the waitress was very knowledgeable about the different spurts and recommended well. Nice atmosphere

Simply the best. Better than all the rest. Very good club. Great staff, great customers , live music. Lovely beer (CAMRA). A fantastic part of Bexhill life.

I’ve been coming here for food for a while and it’s always deliciously prepared and served by very friendly and welcoming staff. It’s a lovely cafe situated in a quiet side road in the centre of Ticehurst village, well worth seeking out, keep your eyes peeled for the sign for The Courtyard Cafe. The breakfasts set you up for the day and the lunches are amazing, I had the homemade quiche with chips and salad which was all homemade by the lovely staff and it was so delicious. Daily specials are also available including teas, coffees and cake. Good size portions, with seating outside for sunny days and very clean inside with plenty of seating. Ample parking available at the village car park just round the corner from the cafe, it’s a really friendly place to relax and so worth a visit. Will be going back again very soon.
