The Seaview East Preston - (Near , South East)

5 /5 Megan Rogerson: I can’t thank Carlo, Tom and the team enough for hosting the best day and night for our wedding celebration. It is a perfect venue for it. The menu that Tom helped us come up with was amazing and the food was delicious. I can’t recommend the sea view more highly for a drink and also to host a special day

5 /5 Derek Edwards: Many thanks to Carlo and all the staff at the Seaview. We have just enjoyed the most wonderful Sunday lunch The asparagus starter and rib of beef were both cooked to perfection. The service, atmosphere and food were fantastic. Thank you all.

5 /5 Gary Sanderson: Its been a long time since I have been in the Seaview, my Grandparents lived just round the corner in Coastguards Cottages. When I was last in there, it was dark and run down. Today, it is the complete opposite, it has clearly had a refurb, it is bright, welcoming and the staff were extremely friendly. It has a wonderful outside space, not ideal for this time of year granted, but you can tell that when it is warmer, it is a wonderful place to eat and chill out. We only had a sandwich, but it was high quality and tasty, salted beef, outstanding! We will be back for a proper meal.

1 /5 sophie palmer: We had bought tickets for NYE. The music was good but the rest was disappointing. There was no one on the door and the whole place was overcrowded. You couldn’t get to the bar and when asked if there was somewhere to put coats they replied that we could put them in the kitchen but they might smell or food. It was quite concerning that there was so security.

3 /5 Zoe B: We ate here on Saturday afternoon. Having worked in hospitality myself, I feel fairly well placed to offer some constructive feedback. When we arrived, we weren’t greeted. Three members of staff were chatting behind the bar and only acknowledged us once I mentioned we were there to eat. We were then seated at a nicely laid table, and the more senior member of the team was very knowledgeable about allergens, which was appreciated as a few of us had dietary requirements. One person at our table ordered the Camembert, which unfortunately arrived still in its Président wrapper. I completely understand buying produce in and marking it up, but it would be better presented if it were transferred to a dish or ramekin rather than served in the original packaging. It felt a little like paying restaurant prices for something we could easily prepare at home. That said, the focaccia served alongside it was lovely and tasted homemade. The mains were a bit mixed. The fish and chips were excellent and the Caesar salad was good, but the burgers and fillet steak felt fairly average for the price point. The lemon posset was tasty but the portion was quite large and might be better served in a martini glass or similar to elevate the presentation, as it currently felt similar to how I would serve it at home (in a very basic bowl). Our s’more unfortunately arrived with a hair in it, though the team were quick to replace it and were apologetic, which we appreciated. We did have to ask for it to be removed from the bill, I would have expected this to be done automatically as a gesture. The service overall felt a little inconsistent. Some staff were friendly, while others seemed less engaged and could benefit from some additional customer service training. A few team members were wearing old/dirty trainers as part of their uniform, which slightly cheapened what we had been hoping would feel like a special treat. When we left, no one said goodbye or thanked us, which is something I would consider a basic standard in hospitality. The setting itself is lovely, and I would happily return in the summer for drinks, but based on this experience I probably wouldn’t choose to dine here again.
