Simply Seafood - Wealden

Fantastic food fresh fish served at its best! Great service too. Hadn’t been for a long time but glad we did!

This is a lovely bijou restaurant, food and service is excellent. Even the meat is excellent, which for a fish restaurant is a bit special. Lucy on the front of house is lovely, runs around a lot but is lovely in making sure you are well looked after. We were not rushed, in fact we were in there for over two hours, so really relaxed. My only (less than positive) point would be the desserts are bought in. This is not a problem in itself as the kitchen is small and the chef is an excellent meat and fish cook. My point is they (the ones we had and looked at) are not to the same quality as the starters and main course. You do only pay £2.00 for the extra course but personally I would pay a little more and get desserts that reflect the rest of the meal. The Lemon tart is not very lemony and the profiteroles have a dob of chocolate on the top rather than a coating or chocolate sauce. That said the ice cream is good. We will definitely be going back and will take friends, it is that good, we just won’t have the desserts and have an extra glass of wine instead!

We identified the restaurant on the internet and found local accomodation which was a secondary consideration to good seafood. We were very impressed with attentive but not invasive attention from the staff, Mussels were delicious as was the Calimary. The sea bass my wife had was in her opinion the best ever prepared headless as requested, I chose Halibut for the first time and was very impressed with it served with prawns and rice . Wish it was nearer and open more often and we would visit regularly. The Mungers.

Went on a Thursday night, ate in the conservatory. A nice warm welcome when we arrived and taken to our table. Drinks were served quickly. It’s very relaxed and informal, more like being at a friends house for dinner. I heard others asking for certain things to be done and nothing was too much trouble. The Squid starter was the best I’ve ever had and the Fish and chips delicious! Nice vine growing in the conservatory adds a nice touch. This is in no way a negative, just my personal preference, some nice craft ales would be nice, the local Long Man brewery sell great beers to go with local fish. The 2 ladies who served us were both very pleasant.

A wonderful menu with of course many fish dishes, but also excellent Steak and lobster. Pevensey is only 8 minutes by train from Eastbourne, but is well worth the trip. Tonight was a perfect evening for G&T in the tropical garden before dinner. Certainly well worth a visit for authentic local fish in beautiful surroundings.
