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,

Portions are generous for the price. Food was fresh, and it was ready exactly when they said it would be.

Harvey&#39;s ales are the star here. The cask ale was so fresh, just perfect. You can even grab some bottles from the shop across the road to take home. A proper pint. 🍺

The toasted cheese &amp; chutney ciabatta was spot on for a light lunch. Saw some massive burgers go by that looked incredible too.

Came here for the first time and really enjoyed the pork belly. The welcome cocktail was a nice surprise. Service was attentive without being overbearing.

Lovely spot downstairs, really cozy. The menu is clear and has all the classics. I went for the grilled salmon salad&mdash;the fish was so fresh and flaky, and the greens were crisp. Just what I was hoping for on a quiet evening.

Been coming here for years after walks on the ridge. The burger&#39;s always decent, nothing fancy but hits the spot. Good pint to go with it. Just a solid local pub.

Loved the beer garden out back! It&rsquo;s such a cosy, sheltered spot. We spent a whole sunny afternoon there with a group of friends, just chatting and relaxing. Really nice for a casual catch-up.

Grabbed a burger and fries before the train. Staff were so on it, got us sorted super fast. Perfect for a quick catch-up with mates when you&#39;re pressed for time. The fries were spot on.

Afternoon tea was a treat. The sausage rolls were the standout - clearly homemade, flaky pastry and well-seasoned filling. Sandwiches and scones were solid. A nice, leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

Lovely relaxed spot for lunch. They&#39;re dog-friendly which is a bonus. The board games are a nice touch, made for a very chilled afternoon. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was good, no complaints at all.

The portions are huge here, especially the pasta dishes. We shared a couple of mains between three and still had leftovers to take home. For the price, you really get a lot of food.

The vegan options here are a lifesaver for our group. My friend loved the Korean burger, and I tried the Tofish and chips - actually tasted like the real deal! Perfect for when you&#39;ve got mixed diets.

Popped in for a light lunch while wandering around Lewes. The soup and focaccia was the perfect choice - really flavourful and surprisingly filling for something so simple. The other dishes on the menu looked tempting, I&#39;ll have to come back to try them.

I have been a regular visitor to Englishes for many years, it is my favourite place to eat in Brighton, when I visit from London. On this occasion I brought a friend to celebrate her 60th birthday. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious as is their house champagne! It was relatively quiet inside the restaurant as the majority of the customers were sitting outside. The service was excellent.

Booked ahead and glad we did, it was packed! The English breakfast was spot on, really well done. Just a bit pricey for what it is, but you can taste the quality in the ingredients.

Simply the very best food and service. Always eat here when visiting Eastbourne. Such fresh ingredients and cooked before your very eyes. Can&rsquo;t recommend enough

I highly recommend trying the ribeye; it was tender and flavorful. The overall dining experience was fantastic, and I can&#39;t wait to return.

Took my son &amp; fianc&eacute;e there on Saturday - their first time- the sun was shining &amp; we enjoyed a selection of starters all excellent as always! Great value , the portions generous &amp; service superb

The mixed seafood pot. The prawns and mussels tasted like they were just pulled from the water. That kind of freshness is hard to find. Had it right there on the beach, which was a nice touch.
