CLYDEE’S - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Tat We stumbled upon this cute pub whilst driving through the South Downs National Park. It was lovely to dine by the fireplace. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant, and really went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The pub is dog friendly - there were lots of cute well behaved pups around. The pub is very cosy and the menu is more exciting than a regular pub. We had a fish and chips and a banoffee dessert as part of a set menu and both were divine. The fish batter was very light and crispy, and their take on a ‘deconstructed’ banoffee pie really on point. Would recommend and I’m looking forward to return. They also have Long Man Lager on tap which is a bonus.

Tam K Little hidden gem! A cozy and warm place and the best burger in Brighton. I visited this place after a long search for a proper burger, and thats what I finally got. A delicious burger, freely sided with fries with a unique taste. The burger tasted juicy and fresh and did not taste dry or old at all. As usual, takeaway test! Absolutely delicious with top quality. I had the chicken burger and my family had beef burgers, which we ended up fighting over the last bits! The place is very clean and offers burgers with seasonal special recipes and even vegan burgers. Highly recommend, thanks Gorgi and his staff.

Ilke Kartal We popped into Tun Tun’s on Monday for their free student curry and I’m officially hooked. The staff were so friendly – the moment we walked in they greeted us with big smiles and asked whether we’d like veg, vegan, or meat. I went for the chicken curry, and it was still piping hot by the time we got home. Considering it was completely free, it was absolutely delicious – generous portions, loads of chicken and lentils, and packed with flavour. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I’ll definitely be going back to try more, especially since they also do a £5 student deal. Edit: We did end up going back to try the £50 mega thali, and it was incredible. We also ordered two mango lassi – smooth, sweet, refreshing, and perfect alongside the spicy dishes. The fish curry was light and fragrant, and the pastries were unreal, especially the sweet coconut pathi. The chana daal was comforting, and both the aubergine pakora and onion bhaji were delicious. The chutneys that came with everything were amazing too – a perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’m bringing friends!

Sarah We had some really nice food here. Our starts were chicken satay and battered prawns, both were so good, the batter on the prawns tasted excellent and very fresh. I had hoisin duck with cashews for my main and it was great! The lady who served us was so polite and friendly as well. It was a weekday night and it wasn’t too busy, all our food was served in a timely manner.

Sarah Rackliff We had a wonderful pre-Christmas meal at Rostick. Every course was delicious. Dishes ordered included scallops and meatballs to start, Steak Diane, lobster ravioli (my favourite) and veal t-bone for mains, Tiramisù, Affogato and bread pudding for desserts. The service was friendly and efficient. I would recommend.

Mick Pelling Fantastic and popular Thai restaurant, serving authentic Thai food. Friendly and attentive ladies serving, I had tom yong soup, and chicken pad krapow, generous portions, and not too spicy Well worth more visits.
