A really excellent meal we had been told it could be noisy but there was little noise from the quiz We were in the snug which was very tight and not really sufficient room to relax for a meal.

The scallops and arancini excellent. The duck leg very good. The king prawns good but sadly not enough garlic. Service charming and efficient. Thanks for a good evening.

We fancied a bank holiday lunch and after a little research, we found The Cove in Fairlight. It was our first visit and we will certainly be returning. Great location and we booked a seat in the lovely garden. Good drinks menu with plenty of choice of local wines and craft beers. A relatively small menu, but a focus on seasonal ingredients and we ordered the focaccia with oil and vinegar as a starter. The bread was rather excellent. For mains I ordered the porchetta with lentils and a homemade pesto, my partner ordered a pasta dish with slow cooked beef ragu. Both were excellent. Service was very good too. Nothing to fault!
