The best restaurants serving British food in Rye Rother South East

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.

Very nice and cozy pub.. especially the staff was very funny. They try to find a place for everyone in their Micropub! The chance that you sit at a table with someone else is big.

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service, would definitely visit again

Pub très agréable. Nous désespérions de trouver une table à 20h pendant le week-end de Pâques, et après 10 minutes au bar, tout était réglé. J'ai beaucoup apprécié les légumes verts de saison et nous avons partagé un pie énormissime et topissime.

Absolutely the best roast beef we have ever eaten well presented piping hot to die for service excellent very attentive we shall return

Go through the dowdy antique shop frontage into the tiny, almost cramped room behind and prepare for a treat. We three all picked the all day breakfast; proper bacon, real butcher's sausages and all the trimmings. At around £6, with coffee refills, we couldn't have been happier!

Good burger, pleasant staff, but what is it with the "discretionary" service charge added to your bill? We ordered a burger, they brought a burger, nothing more or less.

Very nice beverages, good price and they do good all day long!

Just stayed for 3 nights , what a great place, the staff are lovely and so helpful, ample parking , and so near the town, the place needs a complete refurb but don’t let that put you off , the place is very clean , our beds were very comfortable and we will definitely go back , it will look amazing when it’s refurbished, people with children will have to be carful as there is no barrier to stop children from getting near the river, but then that is down to parents , definitely book it’s great

Quietly located within walking distance to restaurants and train station

Great good. Friendly service. Timothy Taylors. Live music Wednesdays.

we have been coming to the mermaid inn not quite as long as it has been open - about 40 years !- experiences over the years have of course varied .The restaurant is in 2 rooms both very attractive , the staff are friendly , efficient , human ,the dinner we had last night was excellent - lovely local scallops then for my wife pork belly and myself wild sea bass followed by a chocolate marquis and myself passion fruit soufflé , everything we had was quite delicious , a very enjoyable dinner . We live only a few miles away , this visit will encourage us to return quite soon . Well done the kitchen and the staff .
