Large pub/restaurant in a beautiful part of East Sussex with much inside and outside seating. We just had some drinks there which we enjoyed.
This place is a great destination for a coastal walk or a walk in the Downs trail.
And… they have a proper coffee machine!
It was awesome, I had visited it couple of times before the covid thing. This time in April 2020 it has even better than I remembered. You can get a free cake and coffee there...I did by signing up for another spam email and it worth it. Despite I have shared it with my peers, not the cake but the info about this freebies not all of them could get it. Surprisingly there was a long delay in food serving after 1:30pm and not all of my peers were left fed as we departed at 2pm. However hungry and complaining peers could not spoil the excitement of me having free cake at 1pm. The pub was bright with a lot of young staff who created the atmosphere of business where I was there on my own sharing three tables with myself and line of people who asked how to get a free cake and coffee.
Try duck liver pate, that was good and worked well with the carrot and coriander soup. However nothing could compare to the free Eaton mess and a lot of mess was left when I gone...though, I was kind and left appreciation of the hard work of the waitresses and waiters. The skill of keeping yourself busy when none is around must me complemented and tipped!
Four stars only because of the good location and pleasant interior of the Inn.
The staff is very slow. We asked to bring us water, we waited for ten minutes, we had to go to the bar to ask again. Despite the fact that at this time there were almost no people.
We only ordered desserts. Dessert with coffee, a £6+ combo would have been extremely small. The dessert, which cost almost nine pounds, consisted of a huge hard piece of bizet, topped with a little cream with a very cold mango, was practically inedible. Most of the bizé was left on the plate. It seems that I have never tried worse than this dessert.
Another minus - in the ladies' room, it is almost impossible to wash your hands, since by pressing the water tap and releasing the button, the water immediately stops flowing. That is, you need to constantly press the button with one hand, which is very inconvenient.
Another moment, at the beginning we sat on outside, then we had to return inside, because there are a lot of wasps and flies on the street.
It is a pity that with such a good location of the Inn and a beautiful interior, the organization of service is very poor.
