Skoods R Wonderful Thai restaurant that I visited for the 1st time tonight. Welcoming staff who were very attentive throughout but not obtrusive or annoying . The restaurant itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with perfect subdued lighting. Perfect spacing between tables and comfortable chairs. The menu was varied and clearly laid out offering great range of dishes for vegetarian and meat eaters! Great options for set menus available but we chose à la carte, all dishes tasty and authentic. The wine list had perfect array of choice to suit palate and purse. Can’t wait to return to explore & taste more dishes. Tonight we tried the sweet & sour and signature “ sticky I am” chicken variety main dishes accompanied with Phad Thai noodles. All extremely delicious (& to start tried chicken satay & salt n pepper squid). Both superb in flavour and quantity.

Claudio Weeraratne Beautiful local gem. Place is very pretty, friendly and knowledgeable service, bold and exciting flavours. It can be slow but worth the wait. I loved the cheesecake, the egusi, moi moi and banga prawns.

Kev Oliver Second time at The CrabShack and I was not disappointed. I had the prawn cocktail to start and the Stargazy pie for mains. Both were delicious washed down with a lovely German draft beer. Not cheap, but competitively priced. The servers were very attentive and the service was excellent, thoroughly recommended.

Eunika Okolo I visited Llerena Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant on a Sunday evening 21st December and had a really lovely experience. It wasn’t too busy, which made the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable. The waitress was genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel very welcome from the start. The food arrived in good time and was absolutely delicious — clearly made with care. A real highlight of the evening was the live music: a guitarist playing beautiful, mellow tunes that added so much charm without overpowering conversation. The restaurant itself is small and intimate. Our two-person table was positioned quite close to another table and slightly in the way, which I imagine could be a bit tricky on a busier night — but thankfully it wasn’t an issue for us at all. We ended up spending around three hours there (from 6–9pm) catching up with a friend and were the last ones to leave. Despite that, we never felt rushed, which was really appreciated and speaks volumes about the hospitality. Overall, a cosy spot with great food, lovely staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Jo Loft We had the most wonderful dinner at The Pig in Madehurst while celebrating our 40th birthdays, and it truly made the occasion feel special. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and the food was absolutely fantastic—beautifully presented and full of flavour. What really made the evening stand out, though, was the exceptional service. Grace looked after us brilliantly throughout the meal—friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Dan, the manager, also went out of his way to make sure our celebration felt memorable, which we really appreciated. It was the perfect place to celebrate such a milestone, and we left feeling thoroughly spoiled. Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic evening—we can’t wait to come back!

Suraj Thapa Magar Amazing place with a lovely team of staff who really make the experience warm and welcoming. The food looks absolutely stunning,beautifully presented and appetising. I tried the salmon tartare, which looked amazing, though the crostini was unfortunately very hard, possibly from being prepared too far in advance. The fish and chips also looked fantastic, with a crisp golden batter, but the fish lacked seasoning, just a touch would have lifted it. The chicken roast was a highlight, the gravy was phenomenal. The kale, however, would be easier to enjoy if cut into bite sized portions. The potatoes looked amazing with a nice crust, though again, some seasoning would have made them perfect. Overall, I still gave 5 stars because the experience was worth it, and I believe a few small improvements could take the food to the next level. Writing this in detail because I genuinely want to share helpful feedback, I’ll definitely be back!
