The Ram Inn - (Near East Sussex, South East)

2 /5 Sandra Vincent: So disappointed. Used to come here a lot, last time was around 7 years ago I guess. When we arrived staff said hello then turned their back on us and had a private conversation for several minutes, Service was very slow despite there being very few customers. Staff were in general fairly polite, but totally disinterested. Of the starters we ordered mackerel which I’m told was good and carrot soup which was so salty two of us struggled. For mains we ordered a ploughman’s, (which I’m told was very good) two Chicken Milanese with fries and Hake with addition fries. The food was fine, but all the fries including the portion we paid £5 for were so salty two of us couldn’t eat them. One of us thought the green salad was also over salted. I do like salt and persevered but this was incredibly salty, even I couldn’t finish them. A good chef knows how to season food but is it necessary to salt fries when there is salt on the table? I mentioned it to the server he just mumbled ‘sorry about that’ and walked off. It was part of my 60th birthday present, so disappointed I didn’t bother with dessert. Other people in the pub looked to be enjoying their meal, but I won’t be returning. The food was not cheap at all, I would have expected restaurant standard of both food and service but it fell well below parr.

5 /5 Elizabeth Alderson: A huge thank you to EVERYONE involved in putting together and delivering a perfect Christmas Day Lunch 2025 experience. After a short, very cold winter walk around the magical village of Firle, we arrived at The Ram Inn, where the welcome was warm and friendly. Our table was by an open fire in the bar area, a perfect spot to soak up the Christmas buzz as we all savoured our six-course Christmas lunch. Wed been asked in advance to choose from a thoughtful menu, with time to enjoy each course, which was served with care over an extended period. Thank you once again to everyone who worked so hard both behind the scenes and those who interacted with the guests, thank you, thank you for giving up your Christmas Day and delivering a very special Christmas Day Lunch for those of us who were lucky enough to have booked The Ram Inn on Christmas Day this year.

5 /5 Whirly Bloke: We had our family Christmas Eve meal at The Ram Inn in Firle and it was absolutely outstanding. Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, and truly great staff and service throughout the visit. Our grandson and our dog were both made to feel very welcome, which meant a lot to us as a family. This was our second visit, and choosing The Ram for such a special family occasion was an easy decision — and it didn’t disappoint. We’ll definitely be back again.

5 /5 Catherine Kinsella: Stayed at the Ramm Inn twice and absolutely loved it. The rooms are so beautiful, the pub its self is dark & cozy with lit fireplaces and candles everywhere. It’s original and stylish decor. The food is 10/10. The breakfast is served in a gorgeous room. The atmosphere is very special here.

5 /5 Ben Davies: I arranged a private lunch for 20 guests and it couldn’t have gone better. From the first enquiry, the team were organised, responsive, and incredibly helpful with all the planning details. On the day, the room looked lovely, the service ran smoothly, and the food was absolutely delicious fresh, seasonal, and great value. My guests were so impressed. A big thank you to the whole team, especially Meghan, for making it such a success.
