The best restaurants serving Seafood food in South East

Came here with friends on a Sunday. We booked fairly far in advance. When we arrived, we were seated by the window in front of a pillar, blocking the sea view, even though all the other tables by the window were free. We asked to move to one of the better placed tables, and the waiter looked stressed and said he would have to check as they were all allocated and dissappeared off for a long period of time. As we were there first, and the other groups hadn't arrived yet, you would think there would be no issue with the simple request of switching two tables of 4, but clearly was too much of an ask for this waiter, so we stayed put. We then were handed menu's and we ordered our food. It was only after we ordered we realised people around us were eating roasts. We were never handed a roast menu or made aware that they were available, which was disappointing. The food arrived, and luckily the food was in fact, delicious. Then we ordered a couple of puddings. These were also delicious, but too forever to come like we had been forgotten. Overall the service does not meet the standard you expect from Rockwater. I wonder if they have become complacent with their reputation as the years have gone by. Also, the hand driers in the ladies don't work, which is poor from an establishment that charges as much as rockwater does. Won't be rushing for a return visit. There are far better establishments in Brighton.

Beautiful place, friendly people, good staff and great food The manager, Ronia, is excellent. We will definitely be back 🌹🌹🌹

Read this was THE place to check fish and chips in Beaconsfield, and I would definitely recommend it. I could the medium cod and it was very filling. Wish I had a fork for when it started to fall apart, but still very tasty!

Honestly easily the best restaurant in Bluewater. The food, service and hospitality are just amazing. My family and I have been visiting the restaurant for many years and have never had a bad experience. It is faultless, the food, service and price. Carlos and all his team are just sublime.

Patricia in Nando’s bluewater had such amazing customer service skills she sat me and my 1 year old down and because I was by myself as soon as I went up to ordered I ordered a refillable drink and she immediately told me if I needed any help to fill it up let her know and she’ll be happy to fill it up, I didn’t want to bother her so started getting up to do it immediately she told me she’d do it! Amazing and adaptable customer service! Definitely made my nerves of coming out with my one year old be put at ease! Thank you Patricia

I moved off the island 6yrs ago, popped in for dinner and the owner still regonized me. Ordered burger and chips. They were so nice just as I remembered. Going back again before I go home. Highly recommend

Dangerous roll of corrugated steel left at the end of the pier that I walked into and tore my trousers that can’t be repaired. Also I’m disabled, and I suffered an open wound to my back leg (I have lymphoedema) so a bit ridiculous. Clearly a health & safety hazard. I’ve left a message on the pier owners voicemail.

On the evening of 31 July I visited Marinos fish and chip shop and purchased a large Huss, large cod and a small portion of chips to take away.Having used Marinos many times before my wife and I were looking forward to our supper as the quality has always been excellent. We were sorely disappointed. Both portions of fish were extremely overcooked - the fish was hard and the batter brittle. The chips were even worse, they had obviously been cooked a long time previously and weren’t at all crisp as normal. A dreadful meal, nowhere near worth £22. We have always enjoyed Marinos food but in future we will try elsewhere.

Amazing staff! Beautiful fresh food and they’ve added American burgers to the menu! The chips and curry sauce is always perfect!

My second visit to The Lightship and it was just as fabulous as the first time. It's such a unique dining experience and as you step onto the old ship the space is really well thought out, the interior design is beautiful. We enjoyed Duck Bon Bons, Feta Parcels, Pork and Rib Eye followed by Espresso Martinis and dessert. Service was attentive and friendly, thankfully we were blessed with a beautiful evening to sit on deck too. Can't wait to go back again next summer.

Food is rubbish I had fish and chips discusting I threw the fish away. Never again worst fish and chips I've ever had. I don't think foreign staff no how to cook fish and chips, mushy peas

Absolutely no idea why people go here. Food quality is terrible. Rock hard chips and overcooked fish. Not that cheap either. Far superior fish and chips can be found just round the corner at Wendover Plaice. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Food is ok but the staff are awful! so much attitude for no reason, which is so unnecessary. Also don’t bother pre ordering.

Disgusting slimy chips, horrible batter that stuck to the paper, awful shop that needs redecorating and organisation. Don't waste your money here

£20 for a walk around a garden and a cream tea - you might think that would be eye-wateringly expensive. And to some degree you are right. This could be a description of the quintessential English experience. And yet, and yet ... even in the depths of winter this garden is exceptional. I began my walk feeling completely out-of-sorts, not uplifted by the well-meaning messages on little boards on the Truth Trail, and yet by the time I had found glorious fields of snowdrops and small glimpses of the tiny wonders that are the early spring crocus, I was well on my way to upliftment. The gardens are an utter enchantment. Everywhere there are signs of great husbandry and quiet wisdom. Simple imagery becomes clever symbolism; from the dark yew hedge hunched over in the centre of the broad expanse of lawn, to the exquisitely espalliered orchards and the order of the herbaceous borders, you are led to the magic of the little girl dancing upon her own reflection in the wide waters, and the child offering wisdom in the formality of the Silent Space. Even in the Walled Garden, the National Collection of Saxifrage blew me away - utterly stunning in both its setting and design. I came away utterly bowled over by the beauty of the gardens, happy to have spent the money. The lovely little cafe in the portacabin was delightful, and the cream tea delicious. I shudder to think what the queues and the wasps are like in summer, though. I will be brave and come back in summer though, because the gardens must be even more magical then. And because I have to see, with my own eyes, the huge swathe of camassia leichtlinii in bloom. And THAT'S something I never thought I would say in a Tripadvisor review! :D
