The best restaurants in Alfriston Wealden South East

Ordered a Stalla Artois tasted off, replaced by Camden, same flavour!! Ordered Scotch egg and black Stick with piccalilli. Sausage meat was tainted, the egg was perfectly cooked. The main course was sausage and bubble and squeak mash with parsnip crisps. Very sweet, the bubble and squeak had never seen a frying pan. (Just mash with petit pois and diced carrot) no cabbage. at all. 2 out of the 3 sausages had a tainted flavour ( on their way out) the one sausage that wasn't was excellent, the jus was nice albeit very sweet. A nice touch was a complimentary amuse bouche which was falafel with sweet red pepper. Very flavoursome although over fried.

So we went for quick Aussie Valentines dinner on 13th ( as it was already Valentines in Oz) and one of us off to Italy next day- ci sentivami Italiani. Lovely old English building with thick walls but still great wifi we could get it across the road! We live in an old stone barn and struggle with connectivity- how do they do it ?? !!! Everything so well done. Anyway we had the ravioli- pasta was 100% like my Nonna and Mum used to make in Italy- yellow- surely pasta is best from eggs from poultry with access to chlorophyll.... grass! And the aubergine lasagne- we are not vegetarians but a good restaurant that does vegetarian well ....is a really good restaurant. Staff very friendly. Bravo tutti!

My wife went to Alfriston for a walk and a light lunch and we tried the Smugglers Inn at 1.15 pm on Sunday 2nd February. After a walk to the Church and back I ordered Americano coffees and the soup of the day plus the pate on toast. Both started were wonderful. I congratulated the Chef on the soup which was parsnip, carrot and other root vegetables served with warm artesian bread. The whole meal only came to £24. I definitely will come again.

Very friendly and welcoming team. Superb afternoon tea with very generous portions. The best we have had for some time!
