Can’t fault anything😍 cocktails to die for, food amazing, staff fabulous and atmosphere and setting of the whole place is beautiful
I must say the service is brilliant and the staff make you feel very comfortable and nothing is too much. Honestly one of the best service. Staff were friendly, polite and always a smile
Yes the place gets busy but still there’s smiles all round
The terrace in the sunshine is the place to be
I’d give it 5* all day long
Can wait to go again, which will be very soon x
Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else
Fantastic place to relax and have fun
Thanks to all the staff for a lovely time
Absolutely fantastic. The food was cooked to perfection. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The views of the sun set over the woodland was amazing with dinner. Can’t recommend this establishment enough. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work ���
Great venue and I’d not hesitate to recommend it.
I visited for friends engagement party and we were so well looked after by friendly and attentive staff.
We even had our very own lady “bouncer” who was so lovely.
Definitely be back there again soon.
We had our wedding at the Sussex Exchange on Friday. And with all the panic a wedding brings, the team at the Sussex Exchange pulled out all the stops. Everything went to plan (apart from the weather) food was absolutely stunning, even our guests keep on commenting how lovely the food was. The staff couldn't been anymore helpful then they were. They worked with us and got the timings spot on. Thank you to all the staff again at The Sussex Exchange you made our wedding day unforgettable.
What a great place just to watch a film or have a drink with friends or have a meal just the kind of place Hastings needs
There were 17 of us tonight and because it was raining you all kindly laid out a table in the restaurant for us, Millie rang me this morning to check everything, which was much appreciated, the gentleman (sorry did not get your name) was brilliant, everyone was very attentive and friendly, we did not eat but you still brought us plates and forks for the birthday cake. It is all very much appreciated and it made the evening watching Mama Mia all the more special. Thank you all so much. x
Beautiful venue, Fabulous hosts, threw us a great party, couldn’t recommend the venue more A*
Celebrated New Years Eve up at The Sussex Exchange, we had the best time! The food was lovely, all entertainment was amazing cannot fault the night one bit! Amazing firework display��
We just love the cinema at Sussex Exchange.
It’s an intimate cinema experience, approximately 40 seats of which 6 are premium reclining seats (these are the ones we always book).
It’s more expensive than mainstream cinema’s but you get what you pay for.
It’s almost like being in a cinema room in your own home. Comfortable & relaxing.
The air conditioning was set perfectly and the sound quality was amazing.
Give it a go, you won’t regret it!
First time here, came as part of a large family group for a birthday. Such a calm and friendly atmosphere. Definitely a fantastic layout to decor theme. Food was great tastie and very well presented. Kids enjoyed their food very rare they can all agree 😂, but think they enjoyed their mocktails more. Waitress we had was wondering got really interactive with the kids making sure they were having a wonderful time. Couldn't be more apologetic when there was an issue with the ice creams but worked out. Amazing sunset view from the balcony this evening. Looking forward to a return visit interested to see what the on-site cinema is like.
What can I say for our date night after having our little one 6 months ago. The tomahawk steak was simple delicious and just melted in the mouth compliments to the chef. Staff members kind, friendly and supportive. And the cocktails simply elegant and morish !
Thank you to you all that made our evening fun and comfortable hopefully see you again soon. X
Shame I could only leave 5-star to be honest. Atmosphere speaks for itself, in fact, absolutely speaks for itself in every way, very nice and boujee. Staff are super friendly and happy, quick and attentive. Food was great and reasonable prices too for what you get, drinks are amazing. Thanks for a lovely time guys, I will be back. If you have not been here, you are missing out, get yourself here!
Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea yesterday, service was friendly and efficient by everyone. Food was delicious, fresh sandwiches, warm scones with plenty of jam and cream, unlimited tea and lovely cocktails 🍹 what could be better. Thank you
The food was fantastic. Its a lovely setting with a great view. The cocktails are great and the the waitress we had. Ellie Knight was fantastic 🙂 She looked after us all night and nothing was to much trouble.
We enjoyed the VIP theatre, a bit over priced but it was a very nice experience. We went over to the restaurant later and we had a pleasant time, our server Jane however really elevated our experience there, she was attentive and did her very best to made sure myself and my wife were having a good time and enjoying our food. Service is something that I look forward to always, and Jane outdid herself. It would be nice if the restaurant can implement a tipping service on the card system. We really wanted to leave her a tip but had no cash.
We had a gentlemen called Karl service us today and he was fantastic. The food was really yummy highly recommend the chicken Shish and salad! and also the drinks were delicious. To top it off the decor here is beautiful!!!!!
My wife surprised me for our 21st wedding anniversary. 1st over all the outside is beautiful and you had the option of sitting either in our out , we sat inside but were a bit squashed between other couples, the music was to loud as it was harder for me to have a conversation but that’s just the atmosphere and I think I am just a bit deaf and old to appreciate the vibe, more of a younger persons vibe.
Now the positives, beautiful building, lots of thought and money spent on the building with a beautiful outside and more cocktail and wine bar vibe, a small but spacious cinema with very comfortable seats, heated if you want to sit outside , accessible toilet close to bar and ok size, the normal toilets are down the beautiful stairs , toilets were very clean and a nice spacious area to wait for the cinemas, you do pay a premium for the cinema but it is limited seating and less showings.
The staff were friendly and helpful, I had the dirty burger which at £15.95 is competitively price and my wife had the Salmon , both excellent choices , the bread was made in house and very nice, the mock tail I think was a bit dear at £8.95 considering it was more ice than anything, I enjoyed the vegan honeycomb cheesecake but the gold stuff on top which I think was meant to be edible tasted like paper so I didn’t eat it.
Coffee was nice and were never felt pushed out , we enjoyed the outside, only Down point was when booking in other information we put that it was our 21st wedding anniversary and this wasn’t picked up, so 4 stars because of this and the music was a bit loud making it harder to talk. A big far at an hours drive from us, but a nice experience.

This luxurious two floors entertainment place, refurbished five years ago by its Lebanese owner, takes you away to a laid back Asian holiday vibe, and that’s because as you enter the greeting atmosphere immediately helps you feel relaxed and the cleanliness of the place, as well as the hospitality, professionalism and attentiveness of the staff makes you feel important.
The restaurant is on the main floor very beautifully decorated with an outdoor seating are as well as different sections to the inside.
The lift or the stairs can take you down stairs here you will be greeted with a wafting sandalwood incense smell. On this level you find the main toilets as well as there is a cinéma with (refreshments & popcorn on sale), and an after dinner weekend lounge are.
There is also a tasteful greeting lobby with sofas and a desk manned by two members of staff who are very friendly and ready to help you.
Now let’s talk about the food, the menu is some what limited, prices are reasonable but we felt wasn’t reflected in the quality, and that’s based on the risotto that came with the over priced salmon nearly £23, it was salty and runny.
Overall loved the experience and will be going there again.
Visited for a friends birthday!
• loads off parking.
• place very Instagramable..
• not halal but vegan options (also large range of Mocktails!)
• they did not allow us to eat the cake that we brought with us due to health and saftey..
• no Actuall menus have to scan on phone
Amazing experience, the roast dinner was lush for our party of 8!
The staff are always so friendly and the cocktails are AMAZEBALLS!
I’ve been with friends for a girls night and with family and it’s a great atmosphere for both. You always feel like you are going out somewhere classy at the Sussex, which can be hard to find in Hastings!
Lovely food. Beautiful decor. Great atmosphere
Had the Ibiza brunch. Unlimited drinks. Had about 20 bottles between 10 of us and unlimited soft drinks etc. Good portion sizes for food too
This is a high end restaurant but unfortunately most of their main items were sold out due to huge demand the day before and no deliveries on a Sunday.
The service was excellent, even though they had a fraction of the menu items. They were very polite and courteous.
I found that their prices were very high but their patrons seemed to expect it.
Their menus were online and accessed via a QR code on the table, which had current item availability.
They have a beautiful patio area that guests use to take selfies and view the sunset 🌆
We came for afternoon tea for a birthday and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was very filling and the atmosphere was delightful - pretty in pink and florals.
Teas available were breakfast, Earl, Peppermint, 2 selections of fruit teas and coffees. Staff were helpful and gracious.
The premises also has a cinema, meeting rooms and a delightful piano as you walk in!
Will definitely be visiting again!
What a great way and place to spend some quality time,The food was delicious and plenty of it ( we had the afternoon tea) . Our host was Sapphire who we found to be very professional and friendly, on the whole a very good afternoon, you should be immensely proud of your staff and their dedication and professionalism.
Compliments to the chef, the food is soooo tasty! Full of flavour. I had the meatballs to start & the stuffed peppers and wow I was impressed. The DJ was terrific & the Diva cocktails made us laugh with Adele’s face in it. We can’t wait to come back! Boujee fun!
