The best restaurants serving British food in Chiddingly and East Hoathly Wealden South East

Turned up at hotel having booked approx 3 hours previously to be met by a receptionist. Importantly their website states pets welcome in all areas. Had a days hike around Devils Dyke and looking forward to an enjoyable stay. Everything fine until they saw the dog!! Despite saying all welcome , dogs are not welcome…. Not allowed to stay in the rooms. By this time the chef appeared (partner / owner?) and just advised the receptionist to do nothing and we would go away as the booking was inaccurate and nothing they could do - Receptionist started hinting the dog could sleep in the car overnight. It all went downhill from there as neither wanted to engage with us, just said it was policy and to ignore us. Asked for a refund as this was a genuine error and room only booked for 3 hours but they both flatly refused and basically ignored us. No doubt this may be a nice place but DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU WANT SOMEWHERE THAT CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Just money grabbing opportunists and do not deserve to be in the hospitality industry. With everything you read about what has happened in this industry- no wonder people stay at home - so short sighted and uncaring - did not try and find out our story and where we were from apart from ignore them they will go Thinking of turning up to get our breakfast in the morning that we have paid for and will order everything on the menu as breakfast included…………………. There is a word for people like this?????

Amazing food. Great service. Thanks Pop! Highly recommended gastropub. Whole of the family very very happy. Will return.

A bit of a hidden gem this, met some colleagues here before an event and would never have known it existed! Great setting with a nice outdoor area, friendly staff and a good quality, reasonably priced breakfast - what more do you need?

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

Sadly, this cafe will close in July 2024 and it seems there won't be a replacement on site. Hoping that a new restaurant will open at Stavertons as it makes a trip to the garden centre an extra pleasure. The best garden centre in Sussex deserves a great cafe!
