We had a lovely evening celebrating my partners birthday. We are local to Rye and often dine or lunch in The Mermaid. The food was delicious and was plentiful in a lovely dining room. However our evening was sum what spoiled by the couple dining behind us. They complained about every dish they ate and how individual ingredients were over powering others. They must have watched MasterChef recently and become food critics. We had the same dishes and they were delicious.

Thank you to all at Lury that made our meal on 6th November so enjoyable. We had a ten course taster menu dread over a 3 1/2 our meal with loverly wine for a wonderful experience. We have eaten in several Michelin restaurants and frankly Lury is as good as and better than many. I have scored this 5* throughout except for ambience which I gave 4* but only because I think the lighting could be a bit more subdued and I am not that keen on Jaz.

Another wonderful meal at Kumquat. I had the prawn ceviche and the pork 3 ways, which were both amazing. Kumquat negroni also very tasty. Service from the two waitresses was very professional.
