The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in South East

The food here is good! I especially love the wings! Im still trying out the whole menu.. Granted the wait for food is sometimes a little long but it's worth the wait. I've only ordered to go so I can't speak on the dine in experience but the staff I've encountered including the owner have been more than friendly and professional.

£16.50 for a mixed grill isn’t cheap . And lamb in it was inedible and so chewy,and the chicken was stupidly dry. No garlic mayonnaise or chilli sauce as requested so you won’t get repeat business off of me.

We arrived for lunch and weren’t sure which way to enter the restaurant. There is a front door but no sign or anything intimating it was the main entrance or whether it was the door for the hotel or the restaurant or both; so we opted for the side gate but still weren’t sure if we were going the correct way. Still not sure whether we had entered the restaurant via the correct route we were seated quickly and my young daughter needed the bathroom: we went to the bathroom leaving my partner at the table and by the time we came back there were still no menus on the table. I did wonder if it was the start of things to come. However, thankfully, I was wrong. Everything after that was seamless. Service was good and food was great. My partner had the burger, I had eggs Benedict and my daughter had pizza. My only personal preference with the eggs Benedict would be to have a thick slice of ham, but as I say, that’s my personal preference. All the food was good quality. We liked the seating arrangements too; tables weren’t squeezed in and there was plenty of space between tables. We’ve already recommended this place to friends and family and will return ourselves in the area.

We booked a dinner through The Fork app as everywhere was booked out (due to the COVID restrictions being gradually lifted and all pubs overbooked), and happened to be the only customers that evening. The barman/host was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We sat on the terrace with a gas burner/warmer and an umbrella to keep us warm and cosy. The surroundings are beautiful - overlooking a large open space with a stream down some steps. The food was very nice, we each had a different type of a burger. The portions were very generous and there were options to suit different tastes, including great vegan food. Although this was our first time here and mostly an accidental booking, we will definitely be returning soon!

We were staying at the Mermaid having baulked at the prices at The George but thought we would go for a meal. In spite of its Georgian reputation, the restaurant ( possibly because of the fire) is relatively utilitarian and frankly not very cosy. The modern art on the wall ( I like a lot of modern art) was rather grim! We both felt the meals were small! The mussels ( large) was small and didn’t even include a slice of bread. The prawns ( large) included 5 and one bread slice! We had to ask for finger bowls after the food had arrived. The cheeseboard was Ok but nothing special. The waiting staff were lovely but the hotel manager rather strutted about without engaging customers. We feel there is better food in a nicer setting to be had in Rye.

£5 all'ingresso (di domenica), età media 18 anni, drink parecchio costosi. Musica normale, buoni gli spazi ma serata non bellissima. Non tornerò
