Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

First visit. Great atmosphere and lovely food. Will come back!

I have dined at Into The Blue several time over the last 4 years living in the area on various occasions with various people, and have never had a bad meal. The staff are always warm and friendly, the atmosphere is bright and lively, and it's just a delightful local seafood restaurant that is lovely for large and small groups for all occasions. It helps they stock my favourite wine also.

Fabulous as always! Chose Into the Blue to celebrate my 70th and Jacqui and the team didn't disappoint. Most of us opted for the lobster and chips which was indulgent and delicious and superb value for money. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and the staff hit just the right note. Nothing is too much trouble. It's such a treat to eat here. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

We booked a meal to celebrate my husband’s birthday yesterday, with our dog. It was our first visit and we thought both the inside and outside of the pub was beautiful! We loved it. We also found the menu extensive and hard to choose from - too much choice! We shall have to return! The service was impeccable. Compliments to our friendly and helpful waiter. Our only slight critique would be for our wobbly table!

Had a great evening live music great food great atmosphere great beer

Visiting family in the area and we were greeted with a warm welcome and excellent service throughout. Best roast we’ve had in a while, a lovely home cooked meal and piping hot. I’m sure we’ll be back again soon.

We enjoyed all the food which came in very generous portions. The atmosphere was lively but pleasant. The service was efficient and welcoming both for us and our dog .

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly, but our waiter was a little nonchalant. Lamb burger nondescript. Fish pie great.

We visited for Sunday lunch and it was fabulous! We travel in from Hythe to come here when we can as we love it here. The atmosphere is great, the staff are welcoming, attentive and plentiful! There is a great vibe and the pub is beautiful and quirky. The food is delicious too. We look forward to our next visit.

Lovely cosy atmosphere. Great roast and desert. Happy and attentive staff.

My wife and I had a lovely lunch here on Sunday 19th Oct 2025. Food took 20 minutes to arrive, but when it arrived, it was all nice and hot.

Went for Sunday lunch, ordered oysters, a little bland. But pacific not native. Both lunches were excellent with lashings of gravy, I could have done with a couple more slices of beef, but for the money you couldn’t do better. Dessert was lovely too, and really lovely Anjou wine. Always great with excellent staff

We were party of seven dining at Into the Blue. Starters were delicious, we mostly had different things. For mains my husband had half lobster, two had sea bream, two monkfish, one mussels, and one dover sole. All served up beautifully and equally delicious. Some had desserts, but we were quite full. Portions are very generous. Jaqui and staff were very pleasant and attentive. Best restaurant in Shoreham, particularly if you like fish. A very pleasant evening.

Delicious food and great service!

Excellent food very interesting lovely place and great service

A really great dining experience. Warm atmosphere, super food and very friendly service. Certainly the best restaurant in the Eastbourne area.

I’m always blown away by this place, on this visit I had neglected to advise them about an energy I had and they couldn’t have been more helpful and more brilliant in sorting this for me, the food is exquisite the staff and lovely it’s one of my very favourite places to go

What can I say that I haven’t previously! Four of us ate on Saturday with 3 of us tackling lobster and 1 bouillabaisse . The food was exceptional! The food was abundant in quality and flavour and as always wonderfully presented. Although the price of fish/seafood has escalated ridiculously recently the prices are very favourable and total value for money. Highly recommended.
