Landgate Bistro in Rother

The first time we have been as our friends who we went with booked 3 weeks ago.Very popular and rated the best restaurant in Rye. Great selection of local produce on the menu, a nice ambience and excellent service. The complementary bread was very nice accompanied with oils and Marmite butter. We had for starters Scallops and for main local Venison 2 ways. Washed down with a Spanish Rioja.The food was well presented and the flavours were perfectly matched and delicious. I feel it's only a matter of time before a Michelin star appears.

Omg what can i say the food and service is out of this worldWonderfull local produce5 star serviceHighly reccomendedBook well in advance is reccomended

Amazing food, great selection, choices and pairings of flavours. Fairly priced. Good portions. Lovely friendly accommodating staff.

Visited the landgate for dinner with my wife, brother in law and his wife.The service was fantastic the waiters were on point.The starters was fantastic the lobster rossini and scallops cooked perfectly. The main course was perfect venison 2 ways with the, cod and duck. Desserts was amazing. Well done chef you made our weekend the best end to a weekend. Most definitely will be coming back down to enjoy some exquisite dishes.Many thank Brian M

Loved this place ❤great food and professional service great local produce, highly recommended if you enjoy good food

Really tasty food and good service. Lobster orzo was really nice. Complimentary bread was delicious!Recommend booking as we had to book really far in advance for a table on Sunday afternoon.

Enjoyed the bread but that's all. The fish cake was odd. The "Queenie" scallops were not what I expected. The pork was good , the raw cauliflower didn't go with the dish. Runner beans were stringy and not edible. The duck and potato were cold. Very disappointing.The owner has now responded. He seems to think we came determined not to like his food. That is totally untrue. My comments are how I felt. I have been to many restaurants and most I have enjoyed. I have made for comments, the beans were stringy, other people also made the same comment! The main was barely warm and not hot as it should. My wife did make a comment to waitress about the lobster. She obviously did not pass on the comment!! I only commented on the food I had. I think owner should apologies for his unjust comments. we left disappointed and hungry. An now annoyed at his comments. He cannot argue with facts I stated. Shame.... One other point of all the other restaurants I have given reviews have an average of 4.8 stars. I give what they deserve.

Lovely spot with carefully prepared dishes. Definitely worth a visit if you’re down in Rye.

Superb food, a great ambiance and really nice staff. Perfect

Very good food quality. Service was good and besides a draughty corner with a brick column behind my elbow, the ambience was ok. The staff did close the window which improved the fraught on our table. However, overall a nice evening with good food. Three course meal for two with one glass of wine each and s coffee was £106, including service
