Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Polegate

The food is of a high standard we ordered a set meal for 4 and enjoyed the experience, however, £45.00 per head was a bit on the pricey side in our opinion.

Book and order with confidence, the food is much better than expected for a pub/restaurant. Delicious. I had a snack of squid rings with a bang bang dip, then a braised pig's cheek starter Mains were venison and lamb shoulder tart, with a side of green veg, and a chocolate terrine to finish, all superbly cooked and served. I sat in the bar area as it was empty and quiet when I arrived, and also the log fire appealed as it was a cold day. The room is a little draughty (doors opening, and single glazed windows), and I was not warm enough so I moved tables and sat pretty much in the fireplace. Lovely. The only down side is that being a pub, dogs are allowed in the bar area. If I went back (and I will if I'm in that area again) I would not sit in the bar area, I would opt for a NO DOGS area, as my chocolate terrine experience was spoiled by the smell of wet dog.

Welcoming and effective staff. Food choices were excellent. We had the seafood curry and a lamb curry. I would have liked more roasted potato but that was a minor issue. The house Bordeaux was well priced and delicious. We would definitely recommend this restaurant for a couple or foursome. Possibly not a group booking for us due to the price. We will be returning

Warm greeting by waitress called Tina. Drinks order taken and delivered promptly. Short wait whilst food was cooked. Large portions, great quality produce, very well cooked and presented . We were a party of 3 having breakfast and none of us could fault a thing about the whole experience from start to finish. Well priced for the quantity and quality of the food we received. Will definately be going back again very soon.

Lovely atmosphere and decor, and occupies a great spot on the seafront with fab views. Staff were friendly, smiling and attentive from the moment we entered. The food was really fresh and tasty, obviously using quality ingredients but not too expensive and really generous in portion size! Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and lots on the menu that is different to the usual Eastbourne offering. My mum and I will definitely be regular visitors and are looking forward to coming back to try the cocktails!
