Saltdean Tavern

Absolutely disgusting! Beef on the carvery was like a hockey puck! Potatoes were like rocks. Ordered a ‘chicken burger’ was like the sole on a flip flop. Had to ask for the food from the carvery to be put in the microwave. Cannot fault the staff behind the bar. They were very apologetic but the kitchen staff were just rude! Will not be going back here.

Poor service, waited 45 minutes for drinks, 45 minutes for takeaway dessertssee in pic for the monstrosity of it, 20 minutes for Gravy and 40 mins for pigs and blankets. Waitress was rude. No staff at the bar to chase up our orders awful experience.

Waitress Shani was excellent & very friendly. The beef joint was too small to get anything decent from & the chef would not get another even after a few customers asking. The apple pie was microwaved but a generous portion. The other food we had was delicious.

Always excellent! We have been visiting regularly for many years. Food is always plentiful and fresh, and staff, in particularly Shani, are always really kind and welcoming. We are never rushed and nothing is too much trouble. Great value all round!

After eating here several years ago I was not expecting much, BUT I was very pleasantly surprised. My father had the carvery which he thoroughly enjoyed, I went with the Philly Burger that was really tasty. Sharni was lovely, attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning

The staff were excellent; really friendly and attentive. Food was also very good, excellent value for money. Only slight grumble was that the kids' desserts were forgotten, but the staff soon sorted it.

The carvery was fantastic, best we have had! The pizzas and burgers are bloody good too! The prices are good and the staff are so friendly and helpful and go out of their way to help you and make you feel welcome. We live 5 hours away and was visiting but cannot wait to come back again because the carvery was more than worth it

Usually I'd say its a maybe a 3*, not amazing quality food and service but it'll do. However, today our mains were served in two groups with some of us waiting another 20 minutes. We then waited a long time for our dessert much longer than I've previously waited which was then again served in two groups after a waiter instead served another table while we waited. Our "warm cookie dough" was served stone cold. There were multiple groups complaining about waiting obscene lengths of time as well. Absolutely appealing experience.

We visited with family for a Xmas catch up. Shani was very attentive and helpful. She welcomed us and was friendly from start to finish. She made sure we knew what was available and let us know when more meat was coming out. She was unbelievably patient with my VERY chatty son. Thankyou Shani your service was 5 star

Very nice food, friendly and helpfull staff. An area was reserved for a party of 28, and the waitress was very professional dealing with us all. So, a huge thank you to Shani for all the hospitality. Just, such a shame it closed pronto at 9pm.
