  “We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Hoof in Rye celebrating our first wedding anniversary! ❤️🥂 From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic. A special shout-out to Kia, who was absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive and made us feel so welcome throughout the evening. Nothing was too much trouble, and Kia really helped make our anniversary celebration extra special. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was exceptional. It was the perfect place to celebrate such a special milestone. 💕✨ Thank you to the whole team at Hoof in Rye, and especially Kia, for making our first anniversary one to remember. We will definitely be back! 🥂❤️”

  “Beautiful lunch in a very cosy, friendly, clean, restaurant. Service excellent, food was very good, and atmosphere very relaxing. Tip: Go upstairs for some quieter seating. Tip2: Walk up the hill for some lovely dessert shops.”

  “We visited on Father’s Day and we thought the service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. The belly pork was tasty. The halloumi was light and fluffy. The peppercorn gravy was delicious. The brownie was perfect. My cocktail was also a treat.”

  “While looking for places to visit for my recent trip to Rye, Hoof kept popping up on my searches, as a big burger fan I decided this would be my lunch. Inside there is a rustic chilled vibe, with low lighting and wooden furniture, with beams across the ceiling. You could easily imagine this being a wealthy merchant's living room hundred of years ago. There was a good drinks selection, I went for a Romney Bohemian lager, not one I had had before and very crisp and refreshing! My partner had a vanilla milkshake topped with squirty cream. We had the same burger which was double smash patties, tomato, pickled cucumber, and cheese, in a brioche bun, served with fries, and a tomato relish. The burger was tasty and the patties had those crispy edges that make smash burgers so good. The tomato relish though was something I didn't expect to steal the show, not like ketchup at all, but sweet and a little spicy, I didn't leave any left as it was so good! Service was excellent too, and we didn't wait long for anything at all!”

  “Everything was really nice, a wonderful place, was just upset about the bavette steak. Honestly the staff/ waitresses were wonderful, felt really comfortable and well served to. The girls at the front did an exceptional job with new customers and kids. The chefs did a good job with cooking the steak, peppercorn sauce was delicious with the fries, i feel the mushrooms could be cooked a bit more slowly and thoroughly, the steak was a bit flavourless and chewy and the tomatoes were a bit bland. A harsh criticism from a chef, but as a normal client it was a nice meal for an adequate price. Dont let my review put you off! This place is good 👍 would return to try their burgers.”

  “Very strange and uncomfortable experience. When we first walked in, the waitress with black hair and a cowboy boot tattoo told us there were no free tables. We asked for takeaway instead and she said it would take 45 minutes. A few minutes later we called the restaurant to book a table — and suddenly there was space upstairs. When we came back, she recognised us and changed her story. We were seated upstairs in the dark and nobody even turned the lights on for us. Then other customers came in after us, were greeted warmly, smiled at, and the lights were turned on immediately for them. The difference in treatment was very obvious and honestly felt racist. On top of that, the fork and glass were dirty (photos attached). The Caesar salad was the only thing that tasted good. The burger was bland and nothing special at all. Definitely not an experience we would repeat.”

  “I recently visited this place and unfortunately didn’t have a great experience with the food. The burgers were quite disappointing—the bread seemed stale and kept breaking apart, which made it difficult to eat. While the patty itself was just okay, it didn’t really make up for the rest of the burger. The French fries were also underwhelming. They were very soft and didn’t seem freshly made, almost as if they had been sitting around for a while rather than being properly prepared. Overall, the meal didn’t meet expectations, and I wouldn’t rush back based on this experience.”
