The Red Lion Inn - Rother

Really delicious food in a fantastic setting. Went for the Harvey's Sussex Bitter, the best beer this side of Germany. Followed by the sausage and mash. Mash was really tasty as was the onion gravy, the vegetables that came separately were delicious as well especially once soaked in the gravy! As for the sausages themselves, these were great. You got three of them on the bed of mash, and they were big ol' things very herby and tasty. The food was extremely hearty and filling, which was almost disappointing as I wanted to have room for the chocolate brownie sundae! But alas, I'll have to save that for next time. My girlfriend had the beef burger, which was also another huge affair. But she seemed very happy and it looked delicious. The pub itself is really nice too, well worth a visit even without eating as the low ceilings and big wooden beams take you right back to the 15th century. Also a lot of interest to be had in looking at all the antiques gathered along the wall, no doubt collected after years of people drinking in that establishment!

Gary and Lindsey who made this pub the warm, cosy and welcoming traditional English village pub every village needs are back. First meal out for my wife and I since lock down and we received a warm welcome and good food and drink.

Beautiful house cooked meal with friendly staff and cook. very busy, always a good sign when we visited, but workers copied with the numbers. do not expect a super fast service because they are supplied with freshly prepared meals. that must be a real bonus. well done everything, added to the list of places to visit again when in east sussex.

Good eating and service. local ingredients so that the menu changes to sit what is available, including local fish meat. vegan options also. beautiful atmosphere staff. could do with a better selection of ales though (might was an off-night for them)

Cozy, warm and welcoming. eating was nice, the meat was perfectly cooked. my only critique would be missing from green vegetables with the caries. red cabbage with cinnamon was not nice. not sure if others agree, but for me it is not with a frying dinner and something spoils an otherwise good traditional well cooked roast.
