Been coming here for years. Their cheese and bacon turnover is the real deal &ndash; flaky pastry, good quality bacon. Always bring the dog, staff are fine with it. A solid local spot.

A nice local spot for a catch-up. I appreciate that they clearly mark the gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu. Had the avocado toast with poached eggs&mdash;the eggs were perfectly runny and the avocado was fresh and creamy. The coffee is decent too. A reliable choice for a simple, healthy bite.

Staff were really kind and helpful. Had a minor issue and someone went out of their way to sort it for me. Appreciated that a lot. Quick, no-fuss help when you need it.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole evening feel very relaxed. They even brought a few little extras for the kids without us asking, which was a really nice touch. Just a very comfortable, easy meal.

Loved stopping here with my pup. They&#39;re so welcoming to dogs inside, which is a nice change. Even had a little treat for him. Made our walk way better.

Been coming here for years, and the crispy duck is always spot on. Just the right amount of crisp on the skin, meat stays tender. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Large group, no problem. Staff handled it smoothly. Felt welcome from the start. Efficient service.

Been coming here for years, and the staff are always so kind. They even washed my kid&#39;s dropped fork without a fuss.

Been coming here for years whenever I&#39;m in town. Had the full English breakfast this morning - proper sausages, eggs done just right. Popped back in the afternoon for a pint. Staff are always dead sound.

Been a regular here for ages. They&#39;re always so consistent. The welcome is genuinely warm. Had a little spill last time and the staff handled it brilliantly, no fuss at all.

The jacket potato was huge! Loaded with cheese and beans, and under &pound;8. I was pretty happy with that.

Friendly staff and solid coffee. Just popped in for a flat white and a croissant &ndash; both hit the spot. It&rsquo;s become my go-to in Brighton and Hove when I&rsquo;m just wandering around.

A solid spot for a casual bite. The all-day breakfast is the highlight - eggs were spot on, bacon crispy, and the portion is generous for the price. It does get quite busy in that small space, so timing is everything. Staff were lovely and quick.

The set menu here is a solid deal. Plenty of options, and the portions are huge. I couldn&#39;t finish mine, ended up taking half home. For the price, you definitely get your money&#39;s worth.

The owner&#39;s complimentary liqueur at the end was a nice touch. A smooth digestif, not too sweet. It was a good way to finish.

The Aloo Bara was lovely. Their lamb dishes are particularly good, they really know how to handle their spices. A solid spot for a decent meal.

Lunch for seven on a wet and windy day. Food was excellent and attractively presented. The service was excellent, with happy, helpful staff, although the restaurant was not crowded at 2.30pm. Importantly, the bar and restaurant rooms were not crammed into the place - there was room to breathe. Also, the carpeted floor in the restaurant area made a huge difference to the acoustics - we could enjoy the food and the conversation.I&#39;d be happy to recommend the Devil&#39;s Dyke to anyone.

Best coffee in Hove. Rich flavour. Owner&#39;s friendly, makes you feel at home. That&#39;s it really.

The owners really know their stuff, especially when it comes to the wine list. They suggested a glass that paired perfectly with my pasta. Always a warm, genuine vibe here. It&#39;s just a nice spot that makes you feel good.

The team here really works together. Got a warm welcome, and they were all so helpful with the menu. Even bagged up my leftovers without me asking. Just felt like everyone was on the same page.

Nice staff, really friendly. Helped us pick a dish when we couldn&#39;t decide. Just a chill vibe, made the whole lunch feel easy.

Great spot for a casual bite. I was really impressed by the menu variety - loads of options for both proper meals and little snacks. Everything&#39;s priced pretty fairly too. The staff were lovely and happy to talk me through the different dishes.

Just popped in for a quick bite. The place was so clean and bright, it felt really comforting. My burger was spot on, exactly how I remember them tasting years ago. That classic vibe is still here.

Really liked the food and drinks. The atmosphere was nice, but the chairs were a bit hard for a long sit.

The atmosphere at The Red Lion is very welcoming, and the staff, especially Andy and Charlotte, are attentive and friendly, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or special celebration.

Lovely little independent spot. The coffee was really good, proper strong. I liked that you could sit outside on the pavement or tuck into a cosy corner inside. Just the right kind of pause in a busy day.

Friendly family-run spot. Staff are consistently pleasant and attentive, which makes a difference.

The chicken shish here is top-tier for Eastbourne. What really got me was the homemade chilli sauce - so fresh and tangy, I ended up asking for an extra little pot of it. A proper find!
