The soft background music was just right, not too loud. It felt cozy and intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. The lighting was warm and low. Really helped me unwind after a long day.

Service was spot on. They handled our group&#39;s dietary needs without any fuss, really attentive. Makes a difference when you&#39;re out for a meal.

Loved the little garden out back. It&rsquo;s a proper little sun trap, just right for a pint when it&rsquo;s not raining. Felt like a nice escape from the street for a bit.

Nice relaxed pub. The pizza was pretty good - decent flavour, and the two size options worked well for sharing. Staff were friendly. A solid spot for a casual meal.

Love this place. It&#39;s a proper local, always has a good vibe. The drinks on tap are spot on. A bit loud on a Saturday night, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Naomi was a fantastic host. The acoustics are spot on&mdash;could actually have a conversation with my wife without shouting, even with a few kids in the room. My glass of Rioja paired nicely with the steak. A comfortable spot for a relaxed dinner.

My friend and I had just completed a 10 mile walk in 3 hours so it was great to receive a warm welcome on entering and the offer of pre- lunch drinks which were quickly produced.  We were well looked after throughout our lunch by Steph who was polite, friendly and efficient.  The food itself was very good (we both had the Sea Bass in a Pea and Pancetta veloute).  First time visit but certainly not the last.

The roast was generous, and I really appreciated the fresh, crisp vegetables. The cauliflower cheese was a nice touch, but the Yorkshire pudding could have been a bit lighter. A good, hearty meal after a long walk.

The chilli seekh kebab was really juicy, which is a nice change. The chicken tikka naga had a good kick to it without being too much. Everything was still hot when I got it home, which was a plus.

Loved staying here for a weekend with friends. The food was really good, especially the Sunday roast. The village is so quiet and pretty, perfect for a relaxed catch-up. The pub itself has a lovely, cozy feel.

The lunch deal is a good option. I had the grilled salmon with a side salad. The salmon was cooked just right, and the greens in the salad were really fresh. A solid choice for a healthy midday meal.

Lovely old pub, really warm and cosy inside. Had a proper Sunday roast here, just what you want on a grey afternoon. The fire was lit, and the whole place felt so relaxed.

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.

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 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.

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.
