The moussaka is the real deal. The eggplant is soft, the minced lamb is well-spiced, and the b&eacute;chamel on top is properly thick and creamy. It&rsquo;s a solid, comforting dish that tastes exactly like it should.

The vegan cheese on their pizza was a pleasant surprise. It actually melts and gets properly gooey, which is so rare. We sat in the backyard garden, but it was a bit too dark in the evening to really see the fresh herbs they mentioned.

Tommaso was a great server, really funny and made the night so much better. We were a big group and he kept things moving without feeling rushed. Just what you want for a catch-up with friends.

First time here without a booking and they squeezed us in. The mixed chicken kebab was the star - really juicy and flavourful, loved the smoky bits. The place itself is bright and modern, which was nice.

The food&#39;s still the main draw. Had the lamb shank again and it&#39;s as tender as I remember, maybe even richer. The new owners haven&#39;t messed with a good thing where it counts.

Booked for a Friday night and it was packed, so good call on the reservation. The vibe was buzzing but not overwhelming, really liked the warm lighting and the wooden tables. Food came out fresh and hot, which was nice.

We have had many meals at the Smuggiers Rest Peacehaven in the past for different occasions as it is quite close to home,  We booked this our 28th wedding anniversary at short notice, And had another very enjoyable meal looked after by a very attentive waiter called Addison which made it all very pleasant meal/evening,

The fish was the star for me - the batter had this perfect crisp and the inside was so moist. Chips were a proper portion too. Just a really nice, friendly spot to grab a bite.

Classic burger was solid. Patty and bun quality stood out, no weird aftertaste. Even had a cold leftover slice the next day and it held up. Decent for the price.

Came here with friends on a packed Saturday night. The chicken and chorizo dish was so good for this time of year. Staff were really on it despite the crowd, which made it easy for us to just relax and chat.

Fish finger sandwich was spot on, crispy and not greasy. The leek and potato soup was a proper winter warmer, really hit the spot. Just what you want for a quick, no-fuss lunch.

The seafood paella was pretty good, flavours were spot-on and the ingredients tasted fresh. It&#39;s a decent choice for Spanish food in Brighton. The portion was a bit smaller than I&#39;d expected, but no major complaints.

The tasting menu was a bit of a splurge, but honestly? The flavours were so thoughtful. Left feeling just right, not stuffed.

The beer&#39;s really good here, and they brew their own now which is nice. It feels like the place is getting back to how it used to be. The seats were comfortable for a longer stay, which I always appreciate.

The smoked salmon pizza was a real treat. Freshly baked, delivered still warm. Toppings felt creative, not the usual suspects. Made a quiet Friday night in feel a bit more special.

The fish and chips were lovely, the batter was so light and crispy. But the real star was the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. You could tell it was made with really fresh, quality ingredients. A nice, simple finish to the meal.

Been getting the Lamb Tikka Pathia here for a while now. Always a good-sized portion, tastes spot on, and it&#39;s ready quick. Just a solid local curry place.

My first time here and the spicy salad was so fresh and vibrant. Felt like a little taste of Thailand!

Been coming here for years. The terrace is still my favourite spot to unwind with a pint, looking out over the rooftops.

The staff were really on it. Quick to refill water, knew the menu well enough to answer questions without checking, and cleared plates at the right time. Made the ordering process smooth.

Harri was really friendly, made my mum&#39;s birthday feel special. The party vibe here is great!

Been going here for years. The Sunday roast is always spot on, good portion of beef and all the trimmings. Just a solid, reliable meal for the weekend.

Really great fish and chips for 17 of us, which included mainly residents from our care home. Staff really accommodated us and food and service was great. Would definitely return

Been coming here for years now. The lamb curry is always spot on, never had a bad one. It&#39;s just a solid, reliable place when you fancy a curry in Eastbourne.

Just stumbled upon this place in Worthing. Had the tasting menu and the scallop course was the standout for me. A real find.

Friendly staff, spotless place. The wine list was a pleasant surprise, a decent selection by the glass. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Made for a relaxed lunch.

Been coming here for years, the Sunday roast is a solid choice for the family. Portions are fair, and they&#39;ve always got a good deal on for pensioners. It&#39;s just a reliable, no-fuss meal.

Always a solid choice for a catch-up with mates. The curries are so flavourful and the naan is just the right kind of soft and buttery. Staff are lovely and never rush you out, which is perfect when you&#39;re just chatting.

Service was good. It was a long queue to be served but the chef was very quick and efficient. The waitress was good so was the food. Only the lady at reception could have done with a bit smile.

Jakob was really on top of things with my nut allergy, asking all the right questions before I even ordered. Felt totally safe, which is a big deal for me. He was just quietly good at his job.
