Giant's Rest in Wealden

Lovely place to stay. We stayed here while we were looking for University accommodation. I would definitely stay again.

Loved this place initially, however after years of custom the owner refused to honour a voucher given as a wedding present before national lockdown.After trying to discuss this, I was met with unprofessional, sarcastic, and antagonistic language from the owner.Although I understand 2020 has been difficult for the hospitality industry, it has also been difficult for consumers, and by not honoring a voucher they have lost custom, and future income from us.The owner challenged me as to why they hadn't seen me for their takeaway service they ran during lockdown, and used the vouchers then, oblivious to the fact that people who care for vulnerable people should have minimised unnecessary contact with others.I have always had great experiences with The Giant's Rest, Christmas Day dinner, family get-togethers, relaxing Sunday afternoon rest on a dog walk over the Downs, however I am utterly appalled at the way the owner conducted herself today, and will no longer be visiting, or recommending in future.

Friendly local pub popular with locals and tourists. Friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Food was very traditional pub fare, nice quality dishes and well presented. My only criticism is that as a local I would quickly exhaust the menu as I prefer more variety than the traditional offering here. Worth a return visit.

Great country pub. Local Longman beers on tap. Delicious food at decent prices. This is one of the best Sussex pubs in the area. Child and dog friendly. Lovely Sunday roasts and great home cooked pies. One of my favourite pubs.

Stayed here over the weekend for a little getaway with the better half. This cute little place is perfect if you're looking to stay down south for a night or two. Eastbourne and Brighton are only short drives away and the food here is also worth a try. 5 stars. Would highly recommend.

Really cosy and warm. Bar staff very friendly and very welcoming. Just off the main road but far enough away so no noise if you want to drink outside coal fire if you want to be nice and cost inside. A great place for lunch or evening meal.

This is the second time we've had their special Christmas Day lunch. Pricey, but an excellent, five course meal. Friendly staff and a convivial atmosphere. The only criticism is not actually their fault, but it does get very noisy in there, and people have to almost shout to be heard. Not very relaxing!

A nice cosy atmosphere with goos food at an average price. My burger was excellent, it had a lot of very tasty meat in it. The pie was nice, but there wasn't enough gravy. It was very tasty but quite dry. The roast was nice too. A good place to go for an evening meal.

Delicious roast dinner here today. Roasts in pubs can be disappointing but not here. We were there for a family meal. The food and service is excellent. Plenty of variety of veg and flavoursome gravy. We shall return.

Good beers and excellent food. Rabbit bacon and prune pie was delicious, good pastry, packed with rabbit meat and the juice in the pie was rich sweet and savoury. Good selection of veg to go with it, a small pot of the juice/gravy to go with the veg would have been nice. Sticky date and ginger pudding was truly excellent. Service pretty good, though we had to attract attention to order desserts. A bit crammed together, though it was a busy Sunday lunch. Very enjoyable.
