Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

Macklins is always lovely: good food, good drinks and friendly staff - and right by the river

Treated my friend to a birthday lunch yesterday (27.01.2025}. Lovely lunch, good food, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. Will be returning.

Lovely meal but the service took a while. The staff were all very polite and helpful but it might have been better if they had their own designated areas to save then doubling up on asking for orders etc. We enjoyed our meals and will be coming back

My sister & I had a lovely meal here yesterday. The food, Ale & staff were first class. Thank you, will definitely be back.

Excellent food, service and value for money.

Excellent Sunday roast. Friendly service. Recommended!

Wow! When friends we've not seen for a while came to Eastbourne for the weekend, I suggested we eat here, having enjoyed a delicious lunch here previously. I was hoping for good food and a pleasant atmosphere and we certainly got that, and more. A really lovely setting, with faultless, friendly, service, and absolutely wonderful food. Perfect. How fortunate are we to live in Eastbourne with this incredible hidden gem on our doorstep. I can not thank you all enough, we will be back and so will our friends!

Accommodating, friendly restaurant. Delish food

Good service. Delicious food. Warm environment.

Amazing value. Amazing food. Amazing service as always.

Lovely atmosphere , service and food . Wonderful decor and never disappointed

A quiet Thursday night, but a full menu on. Very good service, excellent seafood. Particularly impressed when I was given helpful details of how to get really crispy skin on my seabass dish - bet I can't manage it at home....

Enjoyed a fabulous meal with friends at Into The Blue restaurant in Shoreham yesterday. Not our first visit and although hadn't been for a while have never had a bad meal there. Great variety of fish and meat. Always good value.

Absolutely amazing food and great customer service

Been going here regularly for the last 3 years. It's one of our go to places. Menu doesn't change much but we know what it will be like and we aren't disappointed. Prices are reasonable. Staff are lovely and friendly. Sundays are very busy but very very efficient. Looks like the whole place needs a bit of a paint bit in some ways it's part of its charm. Outdoor space in the summer is perfect.

Always tasty food of the highest quality.

As usual excellent food in a friendly restaurant. Dover sole was excellent, tempura prawns excellent and oysters delicious.

Delicious food
