The Pelham Arms - (Near East Sussex, london)

MADDOGLEP I think this must be fairly new as I have no recollection of this pub / restaurant. Thomas Paine has strong local connections, unlike Casta and Madge. He helped inspire the American revolutionary war and almost lost his head in the French one. Silly so and so. I had another Harveys Sussex best bitter. One of three real ales on my visit. Very good. Up steep stairs finds a roof terrace. Must be lovely on a warm sunny day / evening. Free wifi.

Anon Most of the food was exceptional. For me the stew was lacking flavour and the banana cake not indulgent, but the kimchi bimbap with ‘bacon’ fried rice (gorgeous), sesame cream latte (to DIE for), breakfast ‘army style’ beans (flawless)! Go, eat, enjoy.

Robin Rudwick We went to Fish Friday at the Kings Head. Great service. The fish was excellent. Between us we had a whole, stuffed sea bream and a lemon sole for mains, plus pil pil prawns (I think) and oysters for starters. We overdid the sides with chips plus smashed potatoes and a green veg.

Sarah Thomas Absolute Perfection: Top-Tier Coffee and Cake in Town!I stopped by Trading Post Coffee Roasters and can honestly say this is the best coffee experience Ive had in ages. I ordered their classic pairing: a Flat White and a slice of Coffee Cake, and both were flawless.The Flat White was absolute liquid gold. It had perfectly extracted espresso with a deep, rich flavor, and the microfoam was silky smooth—a true sign of a skilled barista. It was the ideal temperature to savor right away.The Coffee Cake was the perfect companion. It was incredibly moist, packed with rich coffee flavor and spice, and had the most delicious crumb topping. It paired flawlessly with the bold coffee.Beyond the drinks and food, the atmosphere is fantastic—bustling but cozy, clearly a spot where people care deeply about the craft. If youre looking for genuinely top-notch coffee and baked goods, look no further. Five stars all the way!

Ali Ertogrul Love this , the guys always look after me. Tastie place. Open late.

David Villars Late booking for a Sunday roast and the staff couldnt have been better, even accommodating our dog who needed a bowl for their dinner. Huge portions and very tasty. Friendly staff, quick and attentive, plenty of menu choice and lots of free parking.
