Reviews in Polegate

Sunday morning breakfast was idyllic in a garden setting. I couldn't have cooked better at home.

Absolutely fantastic venue, superb food and friendly staff. Best place to eat for miles around....

We discovered The Old Polegate Station a year ago and have made a point of going at least once per week. The food is good and of good value for money. The staff are both efficient and very friendly and go a long way to making each visit a most pleasant experience.

Sorry to disagree with all the other reviews but today my wife and I ate here I had the steak pie but half the chips with were what I would call chaff and if they were not soft I would call them crisps..My wife had lemon meringue pie the pastry on this was still raw..Told staff at the time but was just told I am sorry sir.The other point is the very slow service arrived 1.30 left 2.57 for a two course lunch.will be no good for any one on their lunch HOUR

friendly staff, excellent food, kept clean with good decor , well done to all the staff

The quality of the food is on a par with the Harvester at best. The staff were pleasant enough and the service was good. But after reading the glowing reviews on this site, I was disappointed.

Have only just started using this restaurant after a bad experience with previous owners, we now use on a regular basis and can honestly say food and service is brilliant, the whole experience is highly recommended

we ate here last night and had an excellent meal, there were so many tempting meals on the menu, it was hard to choose what to eat. lovely friendly atmosphere and plenty of space. would certainly go back again.

Have had several meals at Old Polegate Station over this last year and as usual the food was excellent. The staff are very welcoming and very pleasant and helpful.

I'd appreciate it if you could forward this to the restaurant concerned. We stumbled across Wingrove house early last Saturday and enjoyed a drink on their terrace, personally welcomed by the owner. We ordered although the waitress had to leave us 3 times to get more information - she didn't know what the soup of the day was, that girolle was a type of mushroom and what the cut of meat was for the lamb dish. She seemed a bit drunk and I noticed the owner pouring wine for all the staff. The starters were good although I didn't think it was a good idea to serve prawn cocktail from a thin wine glass. I ordered rare sirloin steak and got ribeye, when I pointed this out I was half heartedly offered to change it. I didn't want to wait with my dining partner eating his meal so I declined. However I lived to regret this decision as I chewed and chewed on a tough well done piece of meat. I've had a lot better in Cafe Rouge. Our side order of seasonal vegetables never made an appearance but we were informed both items would be removed from the bill, as if we shodu be grateful. The head waitress handled it better and seemed more on the ball and embarrassed. The owner greeted and served lots of tables but ignored us which was a complete change from the friendly earlier greeting. I noticed he had also been drinking at the bar during the evening and I spoke to him when we left to let him know I was sadly disappointed. He was clearly drunk and became very defensive and aggressive, making no attempt to listen to what I had to say. His response was an immature and sarcastic remark 'We have really failed you haven't we' and stormed off. He was not only extremely rude but very unprofessional and I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had a similar bad experience. If he had any customer service skills he could have easily rectified a bad experience with a simple acknowledgement and/or apology. Needless to say I won't be going there again and would not recommend it to anyone. Bex

Moonrakers has recently re-opened in Alfriston (nr.Polegate) and 'wow!' what a different place it is! Not only was my meal the best culinary experience I have had in a long time (cooked by a protege chef from one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants) but they have clearly spent a lot of time creating the 'right' image / atmosphere ... Big buckets of flowers everywhere and fantastic artwork (including Mockfords). I felt thoroughly spoilt and would say that my experience at Moonrakers beats Mirabelles hands down (which is really saying something). Get yourself there quick before there is a three month waiting list!

I ate here at the weekend with my family and really enjoyed the meal and service. The place has really changed since I last went there which was some time ago. The new owners have really spruced things up. I would recommend this place.

Sorry not a restaurant that I could recommend. Food was swimmimg in water and the staff could not careless

We had a lovely meal here just before Christmas. The restaurant has new owners and a great new menu. There is something on it for everyone. I'm Vegetarian and was most impressed to see the veggie options-so much choice!!!(makes a change). My meat eating Husband wasn't disappointed either. The atmosphere is very welcoming too. The waitress couldn't be more helpful and polite. We will definitely be going back again. A great place for an evening meal-give it a try!!!

Great place with lots of charm. The food was delicious down to the very last mouthful. Obviously a place which makes all it's own food. Highly recommended, we will be back.
