Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

Popped in for a quick Saturday lunch. Sat on the sofas and had Soup and Croque Monsieur both delicious. Friendly relaxed service and atmosphere.

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!!!

we have relatives in hastings and will not visit without returning to the black pearl.my fourteen year old son loves cooking and also loves his food, hence we always pre order the lobster,his fav. great food and lovely people.

We had a Christmas meal here with all the family and it was fantastic. Beautiful, clean place with friendly and kind staff. Good with the children and spotless toilets. The food was amazing - fresh and tasty, and lots of it. I was really amazed to find a place of such quality in Forest Row, and at a very good price. I would recommend this restaurant very highly - a wonderful find.

Good wine, good food,good service,thats not a bad start is it.I would highly recommend the experience,the sort of place you could sit from midday to midnight indulging yourself.

I have been for breakfast and for dinner and both experiences were fantastic! I cant wait to eat there again. The food is absolutely devine and the staff are so nice and friendly. Definitely a hidden treasure!

went there for a birthday surprise. greeted by very friendly staff, excellent service. food was well presented and very tasty at not a bad price. would definately recommend.

Just to let you know what a great place this is. The food is superb, service was great with very happy and friendly waiting staff. The food is so much different to every where else, its freshly cooked, tastes great and looks amazing. it is well worth a visit, party big or small. enjoy!!!!!!

we have used the happy dragon for take aways for years and they have always been great 100% of the time. the singapore noodles are the best ever.

Been twice now and going again in about an hour. Ask for the garlic dough balls they are a great start to an enjoyable lunch. Stone baked pizza's are super. Well done Luna!!!

Don't bother going here. The waiter/bar manager is a nasty bully. We went there once on a big work do and spent ₤700+ on drinks. My workmate picked up a barely visible tiny dish of bombay mix from an empty table next to our large group and he came over and accused her of stealing!! Although, every other empty table had snacks, our busy one didn't! Considering we'd spend so much money in his empty bar, this was really a poor show. We'll go elsewhere next time, not worth paying all that money for that kind of service again. I advise you to do the same.

Just simply the best. In every respect this is a great restaurant. Ultra friendly service, great food and a good time every time we go there.

Were made to feel very welcome, Lovely food and great and friendly service. Nothing too much trouble. This place is going to do well!

We spent Christmas lunch 2006 there on recommendation as we do not live in the area. The starters were okay, the Christmas Turkey may well have been purchased at a super market as it was only fit to be sold as turkey roll and the Christmas pudding was undescribably with NO BRANDY BUTTER. To me you can't have Christmas pudding without Brandy butter. When it was requested the owner/manager who ever he was didn't even give me the curtesy of a reply. We paid a lot of money for the 6 of us and we will never, I repeat never go there again!!!

i recommend all to go and see the dun horse inn mannings heath. the service was friendly. the food was home cooked and very well presented. they have a great open log fire a friendly pub dog pool and bar billiards me and my husband where very satisfied

6 of us lunched today at Hangleton Manor. Two had jacket potatoes and salad (£4.95 each) and the potatoes were stone cold. Two had lasagne which they agreed were okayish. Two of us chose lemon meringue pies for dessert which we had to return as they were inedible. They were piping hot (unlike the potatoes and quite unusually for lemon meringue!). They had obviously been heated in a microwave as the pastry base was soggy, the lemon filling like glue and the "meringue" topping had reverted back to its pre-cooked state of whipped eggwhite and sugar! It was like eating thick lemon glue! Disgusting and overpriced at £4.50! The service was poor too. The ambience is good and surroundings unique - but the food leaves much to be desired.

the most pleasing eatery in Sussex

good food good value great service
