The best restaurants serving British food in Alfriston Wealden South East

Our family live in various parts of the country and arranged to meet here at the Berwick Tea Rooms in memory of our late Mum. We weren't disappointed, we had the most delicious afternoon tea. The lovely Georgie made us very welcome and catered for all the family dietary requirements. We also had the canine division of the family with us -lovely Luna and adorable Diesel both were well behaved and were also catered for. The food was delicious. I can't select one particular favourite as everything was brilliant. Thankyou for such a delicious spread x

I was fortunate enough to come to the Wingrove as a treat for my 40th birthday celebrations. Our friends had previously been and said how lovely it was- it did not disappoint! 3 of us had the fillet steak and 1 had the lamb!! The fillet steak was the BEST I’ve ever had, the taste was amazing! It melted it your mouth and was perfectly cooked! The portions were generous and filling! The puddings were also wonderful and the taste was lovely! The waitress was extremely accommodating and we weren’t waiting long for anything! The Wingrove will definitely be our ‘go to’ restaurant for special occasions in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Popped in for a late lunch with my wife on 31 March 2025. The staff were welcoming and friendly, especially the "newbie" on her first day. We had a lovely lunch with delicious apricot cake afterwards. I would recommend this venue as a friendly place for lunch and/or afternoon tea.

Not impressed with the 10% service charge added to the bill. Wasn’t discretionary so no choice but to pay, I wish to pay my own tip not have it enforced on me, so beware. Pint of Diet Coke was £8.40!!! Daylight robbery, add on the service charge and it’s £9.24!! Food was ok ish and nice lady served us. But won’t be returning

Poppy and the team gave us a wonderful evening tonight. Responsive and observant, nothing was too much trouble. Great menu knowledge and perfect food recommendations. Thank you Poppy! Compliments to the kitchen too as the food was impeccable. Incredibly fresh, fragrant and beautifully presented. Portion sizes were generous. Whole evening was a complete Treat.

Wow what a find! An absolute gem, paradise with a beautiful South Downs view! Outside garden was brilliantly done with a lot of space for kids, etc. The roast dinners and Bloody Mary’s were first class! Staff super friendly and excellent service. Will be coming again and spreading the word ❤️🌅👌

Ate dinner in here after a long walk from Eastbourne in the day. There was a big party in the main area so we sat in the room with the bar, food was tasty, good portion and reasonably priced. The picture is the steak, ale and mushroom!

Lovely pub would be nice to have a better food selection always very limited and really miss the old star that had super bar food menu so could eat in there couple times week shame , it’s nice to get complimentary bar snack whilst drinking would be nice if they mixed this up an changed weekly or on a cycle. Interiors all lovely and clean

I was taking a vistor around some of my favourite local Sussex sites and we found ourselves in Alfriston during lunch time. It was a sunny spring day so we ordered our sandwich & drink at the bar then went to the outdoor garden, admiring the decore and charming old features as we passed through the pub. Our lunch was delieved quickly: we had ordered the avacado, roasd red pepper and houmous sandwich. It was very very tasty and I was pleased that it was a good old fashioned Sandwich - no brioche that falls to pieces, no sourdough that you have to tear with your teeth but two slices of good quality seed bread and delicious but not over-stuffed filling with a decent amount of salads and tortilla chips to the side. This was excatly what we were both after. Knowing how lovely the sandwich lunch was and how nice the decore of the place, I plan to return and try some of the hot meals in this lovely setting.

Very poor food cold smelly staff did not care waited a long time they did not want us there the table cloths were not clean there was food on the floor

We visited Alfriston specifically to go to Badgers. Supposed to be open on Wednesdays but not open. Furthermore the sign seen in a photo on their website saying ‘Badgers tea house and garden’ now says only ‘Badgers’. Has it closed down? Is it seasonal? Wasted our time anyway. Had been looking forward to a cream tea for ages!
