Very accommodating and orofessional staff, nice balance of friendliness and allowing us space to enjoy our meals. Several of our group of five had the haddock and salmon fishcake which was perfect, and also the apple-cinnamon crumble which again was scrumptious. Completely positive experience, well worth the trip from Hastings for two of us, and from Lancing for the others, and we'd fully recommend.

We live in Essex and were visiting, I chose the restaurant after Googling to find somewhere close to the South Downs, it looked good and the menu had good choices. Our cousin lives more locally but hadn’t visited before (she said she will return with her husband!) the service and food were excellent, very friendly staff and the surroundings were clean and well cared for, if we return to Eastbourne we will definitely revisit.

There were nine of us dining, one diner had the fish and chips choice, unfortunately it had been cooked with the oil at too lower a temperature and was therefore not very pleasant. Other eight meals were absolutely fine.

Food was okay, nothing special, but it was fine for the money. Had to wait a long time for the drinks to arrive at the table and a long time for orders to be taken. It wasn’t actually that busy. Lots of empty tables. Wouldn’t put me off going back, but hopefully they can sort out their staffing issues, As they seem to spend more time, laughing and joking with each other and coming over to see if everything was okay or even to take the order. Lovely building though and food was okey.

My friend and I had a really lovely evening. The food was delicious, and service very good with cheerful polite and helpful Servers. The only fault could be that we had to wait and finally go and find someone to get the bill. This could be because of a shortage of staff, as only appeared to be 3 on duty, and was very busy for them. So, all in all excellent and will definately go again.

Overall we had a lovely time but felt the cost was high. I was very disappointed with the mussels as I felt the portion size was tiny and left me hungry. I do find it annoying when crumble is served in a bowl that leaves no room for custard. Just my preference to have it in a slightly larger bowl.

We were so looking forward to our visit but unfortunately the food wasn’t good. We had a prawn cocktail which came with whole prawns and no water finger bowl to wash your fingers in. I had the steak which was so tough I didn’t eat it all and my wife had chicken which had nasty sharp bones in it.All in all very disappointing.

We were a table of 5, we ordered our drinks once seated, & asked for a jug of water, then we ordered our meals, still no drinks, then the waitress came back to check our drinks order as only 4 drinks had been taken, meals arrived still no drinks, or water then we went up to waitress to ask where our drinks were, they eventually came just as we were finishing our meal, & 1 was a wrong order, & still no water, so if you want a drink with your meal get it at the bar before getting seated, the meals were ok, asked for no cheese on burger, then it came with cheese, it wasn't as good service as we had before,

Ate at the farm 2ndDec. I was cold with only 1of the open fires lit. Others around us wore their coats throughout the evening too. An ordinary red wine was over£23 which I thought v expensive for a pub venue. The waiters were pleasant but perhaps not wholly trained The food was perfectly ok Overall an unmemorable experience with a bill of nearly £80 for a pretty run of the mill pub Not the gastro pub it tries to portray perhaps
