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!

The staff were so sweet with my little granddaughters. They brought extra napkins without being asked and didn&#39;t mind the crayons on the floor. Made the whole lunch much less stressful.

Been coming to Hastings for years, and the presentation here really stood out. The flavours were spot on. A nice glass of red was the perfect match for the rich main course. Service was top-notch too.

Looks a bit rough from the outside, but it&#39;s a proper old pub inside. They&#39;ve got a good few beers on, even some of their own. Decent spot for a quiet pint.

The fish was cooked fresh to order, which was nice. It had a lovely flaky texture and the batter was light and crisp. A solid choice, though the portion felt a touch small for the price.

Great 80s tunes playing, really takes you back. Food came out hot and tasted good, loads to choose from. Solid spot for a casual bite.

Popped in for a coffee and a croissant. Ended up just watching the bakers knead dough through the window for ages. So relaxing. The croissant was buttery and flaky, perfect with a flat white. A nice little escape.

Food presentation and cooking are top-notch. The kitchen team&#39;s passion is evident. Portions are a bit small for the price, but the quality is there.

Always a solid choice for a classic chip shop meal. The sausages are just right, and the wedges are crispy. It&#39;s the kind of place that feels familiar and comforting. A bit busy on Friday nights, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The staff here really care, you can tell. Makes for a lovely, welcoming spot.

Service was quick, which was nice for a casual lunch. The place has a cozy feel. Food was decent, though the portions felt a bit small for the price.

Stumbled upon this place completely by chance. The seafood linguine was so fresh, you could taste the sea. Portions are generous for the price, honestly. A nice little find.

Great spot for a quick breakfast with friends before a trip. Opens super early and parking was easy.

Decent spot for a casual bite. The steak frites were cooked just right, and the price was fair. Staff were friendly and quick. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

Friendly staff, they really make you feel welcome. The cafe itself is spotless, which is nice. Had a decent coffee and a slice of cake, nothing fancy but a solid spot for a quick stop.

Brought my dog along, they were cool with it. Had a burger while he chilled under the table. Good spot if you&#39;re out with your pup.

The coffee here is excellent, and the staff were happy to suggest a great wine to go with my lunch. A lovely, friendly spot.

Been going here for years. Their cod and chips is always solid. Fish is fresh, batter&#39;s crispy, and the chips are just right. A bit pricey these days, but you get what you pay for.

Love the BLT here, so fresh and tasty. Got it in no time. But honestly, I just come for the window seat. Perfect for watching the world go by on the high street.

Been coming here for years, and the Tuesday deal is still the one I plan my week around. It&#39;s not just the price, it&#39;s that you can count on the same generous portions and those perfectly crispy chips every single time. Honestly, keeps me coming back.

Quick and friendly service. They chat while making your order, which is nice. Shop is spotless.

The staff were so kind when we had a small hiccup. They handled it with such grace, it really put us at ease. Just a lovely, attentive team.

A lovely spot for a quiet breakfast. The veggie breakfast was spot on, really fresh ingredients. My only small note is the chairs are a bit hard for a longer sit, but the overall feel is very cosy.

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.

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.

The staff here are so lovely. They remembered my name from last time and asked how my week was going. Felt genuinely looked after, not just served.

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.
