Customer Review Summary
Wedding receptions and other private functions draw the most praise, with several couples and families describing a buffet that included bacon baps in the evening, a hot buffet for the kids, and staff who answered emails promptly and made requested arrangements work. One reviewer hired the function room for a wake and found the staff helpful beforehand. Close behind are the views over the golf course, Seaford and the sea, which reviewers say justify the name. Diners also mention a Sunday lunch of beef with Yorkshire pudding and a shared cauliflower cheese, a late breakfast, and afternoon tea. One party arrived hours late after heavy traffic and found everything brought out ready for them. At the bar, reviewers single out Long Man Blonde and a best bitter, along with a monthly jazz night and a charity quiz with live music. The few reservations are small: one reviewer called the place not the most stylish, another found the restaurant quiet, and one noted that water with an espresso has to be requested.

“Great place! Overlooking a golf course and all of Seaford and the sea, good amount of free parking on a slight hill, we had afternoon tea booked and were travelling from London, we got stuck in horrendous traffic amd ended up being 2 and a half hours late!

“Amazing Day We held our wedding reception here in June. The venue looked beautiful the fairy light on the windows made the evening reception look so pretty. The food was delicious everyone commented on how nice it was we opted for the buffet there was a good mix of hot and cold options we had bacon baps in the evening that went down a treat. From start to finish the staff were easy to deal with. Prompt replies to emails.bar staff were fantastic as they were kept very busy all evening. Can’t thank everyone enough for a brilliant evening. Plenty of parking for guests Would most definitely recommend the venue.”

“I had decided to treat my brother and myself to Sunday lunch, as his wife was in Paris with their daughter and grandchildren. The menu claimed 'slow cooked' beef, but this really wasn't about the wording...it was nice beef and great vegetables with Yorkshire pudding, horseradish sauce, gravy and we shared a cauliflower cheese. As I was driving I only had a lager and my brother had Guinness and a Malbec. A very enjoyable meal and a great afternoon in a lovely location. Very attentive staff, but the restaurant itself was very quiet? Definitely recommended.”
