Hoof in Rother

Restaurant was ok, food presentation was great. Burger was way too dry, I asked it to be medium and it was over well done. Gluten free buns and many vegetarian options available. Cleanliness was not the best, menus were dirty and tables sticky.

Popped in for an ad hoc lunch whilst visiting Rye. Really warm welcome and great table upstairs. I had the halloumi burger. We also had a lamb burger, kids fish and chips, and kids burger. Only marked down 1 as only 1 veggie option but it was really tasty.

Excellent customer service by the young lady. Prompt and looked after us. The only loss was the medium-rare sirloin was overcooked slightly, and no steak knives provided.Lovely décor and it's nice that it's one of the few places still serving food at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Visited Wednesday evening booked a table as it can get busy. The steaks are fabulous, but the chips looked anaemic and resembled the cheapest frozen chips you can buy. Steaks are accompanied by mushroom and vine tomatoes some tender stem broccoli would have been a great addition to the dish. We followed with Eton mess, the dish was runny, lacked the thick cream the base of this simple dessert. Plus side staff were polite, helpful and chatty.

Absolutely delicious, my favourite restaurant in Rye. Everyone is so friendly and dogs are welcome. My pups had a fantastic time.

Lovely setting and visit recommended when in Rye.Staff very welcoming and helpful and attentive.Food was very good quality and cooked well.Both of us enjoyed the rib eye steak, sharing an Eton Mess dessert.

There are two seating as evening at the restaurant, we had the later one. Because of this, the wait staff gets caught up trying to serve the entire restaurant at once.Our nacho starter took 35 minutes to arrive and we’re mostly chips and cheese with too little toppings and we’re charged for more salsa. Our chateaubriand took another 40 minutes after that, which was nice and well cooked. We gave up before dessert.Make sure you don’t sit near the door in winter, we spent the entire time freezing because people kept walking in asking for tables.Overall, it was an ok experience, but I’m not sure I’d go back.

Make a booking in advance as even during the week they can fill quickly. Carrot soup and halloumi were great. Gluten free options as well as the big bird instead of beef. I always enjoy my meal here even if it has to be a takeaway.

Cosy, cute setting with staff who are so sweet, kind and helpful.Starters were massive - we had the ribs (pictured for £6, absolute steal), Mac and cheese (also massive) and tempura prawns special (delicious and fresh). Then had burgers and shared onion rings and slaw (just FYI, the onion rings is a massive serve, probably get 8 in a portion!). Burgers had a great flavour and you get a choice of fries too which is a nice touch.Drink selection was great, local ciders and beers and wine was reasonably priced.Only reason it’s not a 5* is because it did take over 45 minutes for us to get our starters, although after that everything else came pretty quickly.Would definitely recommend - and make sure to book in advance as they get super busy!

We decided to have lunch here before leaving Rye. After reading the reviews I was fully expecting to have an amazing meal. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype.I had the fillet steak and I can say I've had better for less. My wife had some courgette fries which were very chunky and not crispy at all.The service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself is nice and cosy. It's just a shame the food wasn't as good as expected.
