  “This was our second visit after we couldn't get into another restaurant locally which turned out to be a real bonus as the Smugglers was fantastic. We went on a Monday where you could get a starter and the main cause for £10, really good value and delicious food with excellent portions that really filled us up. The staff could not have been more helpful and really friendly . We were a group of four but I definitely will be coming back with my mum .”

  “20 of us for lunch after my Dads funeral. Lovely food and great service. Nobody was left waiting and food nice and hot. Great choices of drinks and menu. Reasonably priced with outside garden space and plenty of parking”

  “Unfortunate. We arrived to have the deal - 2 meals for £10 and was told the place was full and we had to have booked. That’s ok/understandable. We were told there was seating outside in the back area/garden area. We sit down, go to the hatch to order but then told that the meal deal is only valid for customers who eat inside the place… not for us who have no choice but to eat outside. Not wheelchair accessible either and we had to open the double doors ourselves to try to get my mother (with her walker) inside. We went to the pub down the road instead. Staff seemed stressed and not able to manage a Monday lunch session. No info online that warns about different prices for inside/outside dining. Just disappointing but having now read the negative reviews on food quality I’m glad we skipped it. Thank you universe!”

  “We came to this village to visit the castle. We took a short walk into the village and decided to pop in and have a bite to eat. The special offers they had on at that time of day was amazing. All of the food was tasty and of a good size. It's a lovely old pub and we felt very relaxed. The staff were polite and friendly. The final bill was so low. I will definitely visit again.”

  “Had a great visit to Smugglers Restaurant on Monday—such a good find! The massive Monday discount made it even better value for money. I went for the roast and it did not disappoint—generous portions, perfectly cooked meat, crispy roast potatoes, and really tasty gravy. Everything felt fresh and properly homemade. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. With the quality of food and the deal on offer, it’s hard to beat. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a Monday!”

  “This was my first tine here, although I have been meaning nve to their duster pub in Normans bay. My friend took me for their £10 3 course lunch. You have to book well in advance and it was fully booked when we went. The tables can be quite close together, but we had a nice table. There is a choice of about 5/6 starters and we went for garlic mushrooms w smoked cheese and prawn cocktail. The food was served amazingly quick and we're good portions for the price. The clientele us mostly elderly people as this offer is on Mon and Tues lunchtimes. Fir mains we chose from about ten items and had sea bass with new potatoes and peas in a white wine sauce and breaded chicken and prawns with chips and salad. For dessert we had chocolate sundae (asked for one scoop of ice cream ) as my friend was pretty full after her chicken. I had the longest meringue sundae. It was very nice with little lemon slices that were like jelly tots. Definitely come again and enjoy another great value meal. The food is good, hot and tasty. The staff are friendly and very efficient.”

  “Located along the busy main road in a small and quiet Pevensey village, the pub offers a good value for money dining experience. We ordered a three course meal for less than £20 and we all enjoyed our meal which is delicious and freshly made. Food portions are just right. The staff are pleasant and attentive. There is adequate free parking space inside the pub. The place is beautiful, cozy and is a good dining venue for friends and families. The toilets facilities are clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.”

  “So at last Smugglers reopens as a restaurant and we decided to try it out on a late March evening. To be honest I was disappointed that we have lost a local pub but glad that it was open at all. Booked on line, booking confirmed within 12 hours. Restaurant was busy at 7:30. Most tables full. Good to see. Service was efficient and very friendly. Menu has been targeted for mass appeal and priced accordingly. Mains are good value - starters and deserts are half price at the moment. Food was excellent. Well cooked and good portions. As we only live 50M away I think we will be back.”
