Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

A special place with delicious food, warm and authentic atmosphere, attentive service and a great wine list combining to provide a wonderful evening meal; highly recommended. Possibly now our favourite restaurant in Eastbourne.

Only recently discovered this gem of a place with really warm, welcoming people, great service and company, fabulous music, good food / and a very relaxed atmosphere. A great place for an evening out or a lazy lunch. Totally recommended.

We had a lovely evening at Ancient Grains with two friends to celebrate a landmark birthday. Carla went out of her way to find us a table at short notice which was brilliant. The food and wine were delicious. The menu offers beautiful home cooked food and a selection of wines not usually available on wine lists locally. We were definitely won over by Sardinian food and the use of ingredients. The service was attentive but unobtrusive and there was a great ambience. Thank you for a memorable evening. We will be back!

Had a four course valentines meal, food was amazing, from the starter to the dessert. We have been for a roast or two in the last 6 months, also very good. Lovely atmosphere and exceptional garden to enjoy the sun.

Took the Mrs for a fantastic meal, had the 6 plates sharer option, we loved it. Lovely place, lovely food, lovely friendly staff. We’ll defo be back .

Fantastic! No notes. Thank you

Lovely food and fantastic service. The atmosphere is great, and we really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back and would recommend Ancient Grains to all.

Another excellent meal at Ancient Grains. My husband has a rapeseed and mustard allergy and this is one of the very few restaurants that not only use neither- but also no seed oils at all. Couple this with great service and sublimely delicious food- and it’s a treat we really enjoy.

Another exceptional meal, a perfect Valentine's Day lunchtime menu. Definitely Shoreham's finest. As ever, thanks due to Dave, Jacqui & staff for all their hard work'

I can't believe after living on the south coast for twenty years that I finally went to this great restaurant. We had the six course tasting menu at £25. The food was so good and at such a reasonable price. There is a nice wine list, also not too expensive. The service was very good - Jackie was attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be back.

Burgers were delicious. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Waited a little for or food as they were down a chef - but was worth the wait. We’ll certainly go back.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Fantastic food and really friendly.

Always wonderful at Barnaby's! Great music, food, ART! and overall vibe. Best place in Hastings :-)

We were welcomed to the Globe Inn the Marsh by a friendly team of staff, we were shown to our table and sat at a comfortable table and given menus. It being a Sunday we both knew what we wanted …Roast. Having been here before we were not disappointed. There wasn’t a long wait for the food and the waiter, although present wasn’t intrusive. I had a dessert and we walked off our lunch with a walk around Rye. It was a lovely day.

Excellent food and service. A real treat to have such a lovely meal, full of flavour in a relaxed and welcoming space. Could not fault anything.

Sunday lunch for four on 9 Feb, a mixture of fish meals and Sunday meat roast, excellent food of the highest level, good value. Perfect way to enjoy lunch with friends, will be back

We had a lovely meal with great service and ambiance.

My friend and I were warmly welcomed on arrival, and had the most wonderful surprise when we were offered a pretty basket of complimentary Sardinian bread with paté, which were a lovely addition to the wine we were enjoying. The main courses we ordered were absolutely delicious, as were the desserts. We would have no hesitation in returning to this charming and very special restaurant. Thanks for a super evening.
