“ Absolutely beautiful place, brilliant atmosphere and the food looked amazing and the drinks were good and well priced! ”
“ We’ve been to The Cove several times over the years and are always delighted by the superb food. Service and atmosphere are always lovely. Cocktails and drinks of high quality. We look forward to coming back soon. ”
“ I stayed one night. All of the staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. My room was very modern and comfortable. The evening meal was outstanding. The chef tweaked the menu to make it fully vegan. And it was one of the best meals I've had anywhere. And they had a place to securely store my bike. ”
“ We went for dinner and drinks. Fantastic selection of beers and wines, with excellent local offerings. Food was brilliant. One of the best burgers I've had, really tender, packed full of flavour and delicious fries. We also ordered patas bravas which were amazing. We didn't have the pie but seeing one on another diners plate, I certainly had pie envy so will be trying one for my next visit! ”
“ Excellent food, my own layman description would be semi gastronomic. Not cheap but anything thoroughly worthwhile these days isn't. Bonus of higher priced venues is keeping out the riff raff, lol. Great owners and staff, lovely location, I will return and highly recommend ”
“ We took friends visiting us to The Cove for lunch, lovely food, service and atmosphere. ”
“ Birthday lunch last Sunday for 10 people. Henry and Olivia were just amazing. Service was just right. Food was fantastic. The Cove only serve top quality locally sourced food. If you haven't been, your missing out on a real treat in sunny fairlight. ”
“ Delightful pub. Garden was well set out with plenty of seating, a nice touch was padded seating on the benches but not wheelchair friendly in the garden as steps and pebbles on path. Food was superb and it was hard to choose. The mackerel pate was delicious and the main courses well presented and tasty. The desert was wonderful see photos. Serving staff were very friendly but a little forgetful and it wasn't busy! Definitely worth a visit and I would definitely return. ”
