The best restaurants in Wealden South East

Ordered chicken fried rice but it’s clearly really fatty pork not chicken. Bland rice with now soy and no seasoning. Shredded beef was reasonable but defiantly not the best.

If you advertise you open at 7am then open at 7am. Drive miles to get here to get a coffee. Only to find still closed by 7.30

Super slow service, incompetent staff

Will not use again. Slow, rude and then tried to give my order to someone else. Supposed to be fast food turned into a 40 minute wait!!

Authentic Chinese - I love it. wish they were open for lunch everyday! A little oasis of flavour in an otherwise bleak landscape...

Staying at a local caravan site and went for a walk. Had driven past the pub on the way to the site so was chuffed to come across it on our walk. Popped in for a drink and it started to rain so had lunch too. A lovely welcoming hello as we walked in and the service just carried on. Had some lovely very local real ale and very tasty food. Thank you

Ordered at 6.45pm called them at 7.30pm was told it will be another hour, then someone else said it will be 25mins. Extremely rude staff on the phone. Cancelled my order and never got a refund as they have made out to just eat thru have delivered it! Will never use this place again. Avoid at all costs!

Over 2hrs and still no food, I phoned 3 times and twice they hung up and said they were busy, pointless taking the orders and money if they can't deliver the food.

Im going to say it was not that bad but I couldn't really finish it of how bad it was. First of all, they covered my chips in mayo and sweet chilli but they put so much mayo I didn't eat all of it. Second, some of the food was cold, not enjoyable. And lastly, I don't recommend getting the burger. All they do is put sauce in then put a decent size patty in it but it tasted like a McDonalds chicken nuggets and looked exactly like one. It was a bit cold too. If you want to order this place, choose your selections wisely.

Popped in here for the first time in years with no booking for a family lunch. We were warmly received and although the place was very busy a table was available. Lucky us. The menu is very interesting and diverse but with the normal favourites also available, we had a mixed bag from monk fish, lobster pie and lie of the day and they were absolutely superb…dessert was great too. My guess is it’s prepared on site by some very good chefs Service through was excellent…..Will certainly recommend and be back Well done all

A family trip on the Spa Valley railway was just going to be a trip up and down the Railway with a maybe a coffee at the return Station. However, the weather was changeable and raining at the end point, so we headed back into the sun and alighted at Groombridge for a coffee. We discovered the next train was not for 90 mins so we took a short walk from the station and soon stumbled across the Junction Inn Pub. It was now past 12:00 so we considered lunch. We stat down, perused an comprehensive menu and ordered lunch. Most of us had the Sunday roast, with Chicken and beef being the options. Our party divided equally into the two options. The food arrived within 20mins and the portions were huge. My generous beef portion was perfectly cooked to medium rare and had plenty of veg, gravy, potatoes and proper Yorkshire pudding. The chicken was basically an ½ a chicken again served with all the trimmings. Everything was very tasty and hot too. The atmosphere in the pub was relaxed and welcoming. There were plenty of reserved tables demonstrating this is a popular Sunday lunch venue, and justifiably so. So an unexpected pleasure and discovery.

Just ordered and was here within 20 mins, piping hot. The grill was my go too but this is my new favourite place

Went in for a light snack this afternoon very well priced amazing staff such a warm vibe

I have cycled past here so very very often and never tried the cafe. I should have read the reviews on here first! I stopped for a latte and a cake and the guy working here I am sure does not drink coffee. He was so out of his depth with the coffee machine I ended up with just hot milk!! In the old adage “You only get one chance to make a good first impression” Sorry but this time you failed. Yelling at me when I left that I could not go down and look at the lake as I might upset the fishermen having earlier told me there were no fishermen was not worth debating either. In short if you fish here use the cafe, if you are passing…… Keep on passing.

A lovely traditional country pub, friendly staff with lots of different food and drink available.
