The Five Bells - (Near East Sussex, South East)

Teoni Comiskey After a few bad experiences, I hadn’t used for a while, but tonight I ordered a prawn purée and garlic chilli chicken… both were just flawless.

Peter Groves Good place for a cup of tea and piece of cake before the show

Claire Jones Extremely happy with the service provided. We have now bought our second lot of Silkie hatching eggs after having such a good hatch rate from our previous order. Zoe goes out of her way to keep you updated and offer advice where needed. Thank you, would highly recommend.

Simon Fisher A second visit this week as we were so impressed by the Sunday carvery. Friday is pie day, (2 for £20 at the time of writing!) I had the most amazing beef and Guinness pie served with mustard mash and a red wine gravy. You get a choice mash, my wife had horseradish, both were delicious! All food is prepared in house! Good wholesome nosh! (Check out the carvery - see other reviews!) Recommend both!! Recommend booking as it was very busy!

Jake Scrivener Waited a long time to visit Beak and it was well worth the wait, great atmosphere, superb and friendly staff (we arrived an hour early and they still served us and were so accommodating) and needless to say the beers were brilliant. Won’t hesitate to come back.

Jamie Stewart Everything you would expect from a Sussex village pub. Good food, quaint interior, and friendly locals. Nice large beer garden. Visited on Saturday lunch time. Called in the late morning to book a table. Was told, no need they won’t be busy. Plus they don’t take bookings. Got there to discover the place was packed, inside and out! (Maybe they should consider bookings for inside table, if that is an important for some customers). As it was the weather was nice, so sitting in the beer garden was nice. The food was excellent. Tasty steak and kidney pie. Good seafood salad. Very reasonable prices. Only marked down the service because the actual bar inside is small, and on a busy day it took a while to be served. But the service was friendly. Will definitely be back. Maybe on a week day!
