"WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! Took my grandad here for his birthday. We arrived and waited 20 minutes to have our drinks. To which we took the opportunity to order both our starters and mains. Our starter didn’t arrive for 40 minutes which we engulfed in minutes as it was so tiny and we were so hungry. 45 minutes AFTER our starters there was still no sign of a main. Tables arrived after us and had received food before us. We then asked how long until our dinner would be ready to find out they hadn’t even started it! Customer service was absolutely shocking, all the waiters looked so miserable and when I told him we’d like to leave he tried to tell me it won’t be long, completely disregarding the fact I told him We’d like the bill as we’d been waiting almost two hours. We paid the bill for two starters and 4 beers which came to over £60. (Including service charge) Staff tried to make no amendments for ruining my grandads evening. We we’re left searching for somewhere else last minute at 8.30pm. Will never be coming here again or recommending to anyone. OVERPRICED. NOT WORTH THE QUALITY OR QUANTITY FOR THAT MATTER. And STAFF ARE EVER SO UNFRIENDLY/UNHELPFUL."

"Whilst many pubs have moved on and serve up fresh and exciting dishes, I just felt that the Walrus is languishing in some rather stodgy old school food. The menu is interesting enough, but I suspect that the policy errs towards quantity rather than quality. Benchmark roast lamb with Yorkshire pud, was overcooked, and the Yorkshire clearly pre-cooked and reheated. Not great... A refreshing super food salad with quinoa and other bits and bobs was huge mound of ingredients which really didn't knit together that well - broccoli and pomegranate... The food wasn't bad by any stretch, but the impression was that the chef was just shovelling it out rather than trying to seduce the customer with his culinary skills. Good beer."
"Firstly food was superb! :) What was very annoying is their (I'm assuming) Takeaway phone was constantly ringing loudly behind us. The staff weren't answering it and having a phone continuously ringing behind us made the evening not as relaxing as we were anticipating. Food and decor is lovely but please turn the ringer down on your phone, move it away from the restaurant or make sure it's being answered so we don't have to have ringing in our ears all evening! Table next to us also commented it was rather annoying. Would only return if we would be seated away from a constantly ringing phone. Staff could also be a bit friendlier and smile when serving :)"
"Best Indian restaurant around East Sussex. Food Gold Standard Good value for money. And really polite and helpful team. Perfect place to visit with friends. I visited with my family and my kids loved entertainment and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend"
