We make British food with a classic or modern slant. We source our ingredients from the local fields, woodlands and waters. Everything is cooked on the premises, including the sourdough bread and the icecreams.The Good Food Guide (2023) says: "A fittingly quaint old building, complete with original features, given a suave modern twist via grey panelling and contemporary furniture. Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing.Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice. However, we cannot cater for vegans.***Please note, due to customer allergies, we cannot allow dogs on the premises.

    Staff were brilliant, food 50% of table loved it / 50% found it too salty but that was the dish so think was more individual taste than any issue. Brilliant place and would recommend.

    1st Class service from start to finish. We were served canapés unexpectedly and these tasted delicious. The food we ordered was exceptional with Master chef like Presentation. If there was 1 thing we had to say it would be that we would have liked a little longer in between each course.( we could have asked as the waiter and waitress were very attentive and committed to giving you a relaxing experience). Then to top it all off the bill was very reasonable for everything we had and the quality given. Would highly recommend going here to anyone and will definitely be returning on our next visit to Rye.
