  • "Looks great after the refit shame about the rude manager & staff, food was awful and tables were very dirty had too ask several times for it to be cleaned before we were able to sit down to a very disappointing meal!!"
  • "The place only gets 3 stars for the friendly staff and the pleasant atmosphere."
  • "The only reason I really can't give it 5 stars is because the toilets were really dirty they hadn't been checked in quite some time as toilet paper was all over the floor."

Food Quality

Pros:

Cons:

  • "Food wasn't great to be honest. Lobster and seafood starter was a bit rank and scampi was frozen, not fresh."
  • "Very disappointed with Sunday roast yesterday hand carved pork was wafer thin salty and had to be out of a packet."
  • "Undercooked rice on a tikka masala which was more rice than sauce."
  • "Both of the hunters chicken was like rubber, and dry, the peas were cold and the chips weren't cooked very well."
  • "Food was an utter disaster; potatoes tasted expired and vegetables were soggy… sunday roast was piss poor, gravy was good but the pork was drier than the savannah, and the mash was hard."
  • "The 3 beef meals were not good as the beef was very tough and not edible for 2 of the group."
  • "The fish and chips arrived very oily and everything had been cooked until all water was gone from the ingredients."

Cons:

  • "Found the beer prices for Seaford very expensive compared to prices in Surrey pubs."
  • "And £4.60 for an orange juice + lemonade?! Ouch."
  • "Food expensive for what you got."
  • "Since they changed the menu price's have really increased but the food has not increased in better quality."
