The Denbigh - Rother

The staff were very nice so no worries there. The fish and chips were the most awful I have ever had. The pub is near the sea yet the fish was clearly months in the freezer. The flesh had no substance. The thin coat of batter was only just cooked, sloppy and no crispness. The chips were also slightly undercooked and the mushy peas clearly from a tin. The meatballs were swimming in fat. Given the good reputation of this pub I was very disappointed and won't be returning in a hurry.

The roast is too expensive for poor portion of crackilng and long wait for food the roast was nothing special not good either

My son and I had a wonderful roast dinner at this restaurant today. Despite being very busy, the service was top-notch. The pork was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were really fresh. It was a fantastic experience and great value for money. We will definitely be returning! And I almost forgot to mention the delicious Eaton Mess dessert.

Went for Sunday lunch (or not)! We booked a table with the owner, but when we arrived there was no booking. The waitress just said ‘oh well I’ll find a table’. She showed us to the table and asked what drinks we wanted. When she brought the drinks over she also gave us some menus. We then sat there and sat there and no waitress came to take our order. The waitress who gave us the menus walked past us and looked over many times, but did not take any order. Our booking was for 4pm and there was only four other tables in the pub so they were not busy at all. The waitress was small and blond and has worked at the pub for some time, as we have seen her when doing the quiz etc. A man on the next table called the same waitress over to him (he had also been waiting a long time) and ordered a dessert. The waitress looked at us, saw the menus on the table and said nothing to us. We thought she might be back in a few minutes how wrong we were! What she actually did was bring her own food out to the bar!!!! After 30 minutes of waiting we gave up, paid for our drinks and walked out. The most appalling service we have ever had. We live very near the pub. We always do the quiz, have eaten there before and often go for a drink there. I am sorry to say we will not use the pub again. Please get some staff who care about customer service and can organise the pub in the owners absence.

We enjoy going here for lunch or dinner,good food lovely friendly staff. But we just feel that the place could do with a bit of TLC ... we were seated near the fireplace which is a great feature of the pub, but it looks so drab but doesn't need to, it could so easily look fantastic.
