We have visited before, but not for many years as we are not local. The shop and cafe offer a great selection of real foods. I chose the Malaysian vegan pasty for lunch, and couldn't resist sampling the vegan date slice and vegan apricot slice.

Four of us visited for Saturday 5 Oct night for the full tasting menu, and two of us had the £40 wine add on, which is supposed to pair with the food.Service was extremely attentive and knowledgeable.The food, as other reviews will allude to, is very precise, often home sourced and very small so getting a big enough mouthful to asses the taste was a challenge for me; I would say its easy to go home hungry unless you have a tiny appetite.The staff took trouble to explain what we were eating and I suspect many of the ingredients were relatively cheap to acquire; granted they use some of their own produce but, as a farmer, I do take um-bridge with the constant story of 'it only being good if you grow it yourself ' ! and if I hear another person telling me it is 'grass fed' lamb ! nearly all lamb is grass fed, its just too expensive to feed anything else. Don't be hoodwinked by the emotional marketing. I did not recognize many of the wines, the measures were small but the wines pleasant; not exceptional though so for £40 I expected more.The atmosphere is 'cosy', but really quite pub like; wooden tables and floors with little in the way of acoustic compensation, so for the two of us with hearing problems it was an evening of, "sorry, would you mind repeating that", and shouting at each other. Try though I did, I missed most of the explanations about the dish we were about to eat.This is a very expensive evening, even by London standards so surely a table cloth might be included. And for the price it would so be nice if they left us to decide what tip to leave instead of adding a service charge. When a gin and tonic costs £17 and a large glass of red the same, does one really want another large percentage added on, to walk it ten steps across the room.With a bill of £370 presented when two were on tap water, and at least one person is still hungry , you do wince a bit at nearly a £40 service charge.But the place was full and most of the reviews are excellent so I suspect it is my lack of sophistication that is the problem. My palate is simply not practiced enough, and my cynicism such that I have long since ceased to be over impressed because the prices are high. Give it a go if you like 100 a head restaurants, and see what group you fall into. You wont see me there though.
8. The Bell

The Bell is a truly quirky pub with rather marvellous rooms in the heart of the village of Ticehurst, East Sussex. Warm and comfortable with extraordinary events and intuitive hospitality, weddings and celebrations a bit of a speciality.

Came here for a wedding and every part of this place is lovely.Facilities were excellent (even to the point of having musical instruments installed as urinals in the Gents), staff were friendly and the quality of food was superb.The grounds were stunning and even though we didn't stay overnight, we did get to go see a family members bedroom and that looked stunning as well.The only downers was that we were told to leave our drinks downstairs before the wedding 40 minutes before the Bride(s) arrived and having just one person working the bar after the ceremony did cause some people missing out on being in the family photos.Hello Mags72 and thank you for writing this review about the Bell.I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us and am sorry that you weren't allowed to take your drink into the ceremony room. In fact, this is a legal requirement - no alcohol is to be served in the room an hour prior to the ceremony.RegardsHoward

Set overlooking Bewl Water reservoir providing a lovely backdrop. Menu varied and the food was excellent. Very well presented and extremely tasty. Thoroughly recommend the Sussex coast cuttlefish as a starter if it's on the menu and the Sunday pork roast was lovely. Staff very pleasant and polite. Totally recommend and we will be returning. Dear Michael186274, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit at The Boat House Bistro. I was so pleased to learn you enjoyed everything about your meal with us. I will take great pleasure in sharing your kind comments with the rest of the team at The Boat House Bistro. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards, The Boat House Bistro.

Reviewed By Ken M
This used to be a very busy traditional type of pub with accommodation. Now I'm not sure what market they are aiming at. We went there for drinks with friends last night and then joined our friends for breakfast this morning. For a Saturday evening it was very quiet - I would have expected the place to be much busier and more atmosphere. The breakfast this morning was quite nice but was quite a wait because the barmaid had forgotten to pass on the message that there were going to be 6 of us for breakfast. But the food was very nice once it did arrive.

It was hot today at Tibbles!!! It got very busy at lunchtime todayAnd the New Barista coped well....however a friend had a very burnt looking cheese scone!! She said it was a bit hard but a good taste. Personally I would not have sent that out, but as she ate it I suppose she liked the Crunchy exterior!! Otherwise the service was very friendly and courteous ...We are so pleased this venue has reopened, but let's get the scones right??!!

We really enjoy eating at The Old Vine under the current management. It's been pretty so-so in the past, but now re-cast as Galapagos, it's offering all sorts of interesting Ecuadorian meals, plus an interesting twist on old favourites like linguine. Very pleasant service, Recommended!

Took my wife and mum in law for dinner. First had to actually hunt for somebody to speak to us to seat us at the table. Then was called âbossâ by the waiter - this claims to be an upscale restaurant - the asked for olives, did get them, in a bowl on the table, nothing to eat them with though, or a separate bowl for stones. Had 2 of the chicken bake dishes and 1 beef tenderloin, chicken was good but steak very average and not hot. No steak knife either, had to ask for that. The wine was served to me first without tasting, despite 2 women present, maybe Iâm old fashioned. Overall, very âstyle over substanceâ and actually whilst the service was very poor that was down to the waiters just being untrained, they were perfectly good guys. Just poor from start to finish for a place that pricey. There is far better in town and it wonât survive unless they up the game.Dear white20202016. Thank you very much for providing your helpful review following your recent visit to SEVENTEEN. Firstly I would like to offer my sincere apologies, I am very sorry to hear you were disappointed with your dining experience. This is by no means the standard we aim to reach. I would really like to opportunity to discuss this further with you, if you could email your contact details to [email protected]. We hope we will have the chance to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, Harry SpencerDirector of Operations
