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.

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.

Oliver Barnes The best Kombucha youll taste. Really creative and well flavoured products, I signed up to the monthly subscription after tasting. Lovely ethos behind the company too. Brilliant all round.

Matt Hobbs Went for Sunday lunch at short notice today. Excellent service with nice cosy roaring open fire with relaxed country ambiance. Picture postcard quaint Sussex village setting. Good value Sunday roasts generously portioned with nice selection of sides. Recommended.

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!

Angeline Frizzell We havent been able to experience this bistro as it is impossible to park.
