The best restaurants serving British food in Rother South East

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.

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!

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.

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 .

Having visited on a whim with our 5yo, due to wet weather on our holiday, I cannot recommend highly enough. They are operating the Soft Play on a booking only basis but let my son go in for 45 minutes before the bookings arrived. The facilities look really clean and new and my son had a blast. My partner wanted a chicken baguette which they cooked from fresh. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer reception, such a welcoming and lovely atmosphere and the food is great, as well as affordable.

Really unique little pub with a lovely atmosphere and great selection of local beers. And £4.50 a pint! Amazing value!

Wonderful Sunday lunch, with great service and ambience. They even very kindly rustled up some final pieces of pork left from the day's roast to add to our delicious tartiflette. Thank you!

First visit today but only for a tea and a coffee but very impressed, already looking forward to our second visit for a breakfast or lunch!

Best sandwiches in town and great pastries too.

Disappointed with our visit. Was recommended by a friend. So decided to take my mum for her birthday. Afternoon tea was very nice. Cakes on stands looked very nice. Lovely crockery and the tea room was very pretty. On arrival thought it was very pleasant. Unfortunately the staff let it down. Didn’t feel very welcome. The two young ladies who served us were friendly and the other lady who brought out afternoon was nice. Unfortunately one member of staff was rather frosty. Had booked for 2 but had to take my toddler last minute and was made to feel this was an inconvenience as had to sit at a different table and told had to leave by certain time. Looks like a very nice place and food was good but service greatly let it down. Don’t think I would visit again due to this.

Look, when they say 'Large' Roast Dinner, they are not messing around. The roast potatoes are amazing, the Yorkshire puddings are heavenly, and the meat is pretty much perfect. A portion so large that it made me, a known glutton, pause and reconsider if I had the space for dessert. Speaking of which, the desserts were worth it. Amaretto and Daim Bar Frozen Mess - a special - beautiful.

We were a party of 39! The service was excellent, the food was delicious and we all had a great time. I would not hesitate to bring my friends here. Did not use the rooms so cannot comment on them....not sure they have any accommodation.

Beautiful old oak-beamed building, polite and efficient service. Tasting menu was very enjoyable and the wine flight was generous, not like some I've had where the servings are minimal! You have to go there just to see the impressive toilets 😁.

Very very lovely place Service: very attentive and polite staff The best steak 🥩 and the pannacotta was amazing thank you guys and thank you Luca see you soon

As locals who drink in The Standard every week we've just encountered some 'friends of the owners' who were appalling. Verbally abused my Husband and Dad. I will never visit this place again. The barman had to apologise. Disgusting.
