About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
BAYTE, is a modern European neighbourhood restaurant with an emphasis on local sourcing and quality produce in the seaside town of St Leonards-on-Sea. The seasonal menu blends influences from across the globe, with particular reference to Italian recipes, such as hand-rolled pastas.
The meat at BAYTE is free-range and reared on biodynamic, organic Haye Farm in Devon. Vegetables are also sourced from organic suppliers, most of them from English and Japanese vegetable growers Namayasai, and Goat Grid Farm, both in nearby Lewes.

    Superb lunch at Bayte...... very appealing menu and when one item (the agnolotti pasta) was found to be served in chicken broth, the chef very kindly made it vegetarian for the non meat eaters in our group - and it was utterly delicious. The desserts were even better. Our waitress could not have been nicer or more helpful - without being intrusive - the whole lunch was a joy.

    Really one of the tastiest meals I've eaten for a long time. The bread and smoked charcutterie starty was delicious and the pasta course was excellent too. The highite though, was the pine nut, coffee and pumpkin Neapolitan ice ice a triumph. All ably served by the kind lady on FOH duties. Definitely will return...

    As always an absolutely delicious meal in gorgeous surroundings. We went this time one Monday night for "Pasta night". I had Rigatoni and wild garlic pesto which was amazing. My co diners dishes were also all above and beyond. The pasta was being freshly made by the chef. Pickles and bread for starters. The service is always excellent, friendly yet professional and the servers know the dishes and really care. Beautiful flowers on the tables and counter too. 5 stars again!
