An excellent meal at a great Italian restaurant. The service was very good even on a busy Saturday evening. Gluten free options were readily available. Pasta with prawns.
Gluten free, fish was beautiful, lovely crispy coating, nice and fresh.
Homemade tartar sauce was delicious as was the curry sauce, and we loved the family history, about the chip shop.
Would highly recommended if in Eastbourne
Fantastic all round! Lucy was very friendly throughout and provided great service, alingside the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. Food was delicious and arrived quickly - they also do a dedicated gluten free menu with plenty to choose from.
Wonderful authentic Greek food and welcome. My parents lived in Greece for many years and love this place. Gluten free was very clearly labelled and lots of choice!
Big thank you to the staff at Pizza Express Eastbourne for my daughters 8th birthday party today. She had a great time with her friends and the chef was fantastic with the children. They also kindly catered for two children with very specific dietary requirements which was very much appreciated. They were even able to make a base with everyone else so they didn’t feel left out and then swapped this out for a gluten free base with their own selection of toppings. The pizzas they all made were huge and they had a really generous amount of toppings to use. As well as that they had dough balls whilst waiting, ice cream at the end and they were all given boxes so they could take the rest of their pizza home. Thank you for great service and a great birthday experience.
I tried their vegan and gluten free menu, too. Everything advertised were available and delicious, freshly made, nicely plated, quite big portions were served.
Almost unbelievably delicious food, and such a wonderful surprise to find such a restaurant in Eastbourne! I was so grateful to be able to eat allergen-free in such an intimate little place, so close to the sea and my hotel: Tim and Kitty were solicitous and friendly hosts, and what they prepared was out of this world good! I sort of hope it doesn't become too popular (though it should) because it is so cosy and cute. My nut roast and veggies, and the cheesecake (gluten-free as well as vegan) were so very flavourful, just up my street, and the quantities were very generous for the prices they were. An outstanding experience...I'll be back, whenever I'm in Eastbourne!

Good, authentic Thai food with gluten free options in a pleasant restaurant close to the centre. Could have been slightly warmer but service was quick. The only negative point is that the male staff only addressed me and not my wife which felt a bit awkward and upsetting. This may have been unintentional but is worth thinking about. Good value at £20 a head for a meal and drink each.
This was an absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food was incredible, they had a Gluten free menu at the back which had a great variety, and it tasted divine! thank you so much, we will definitely be coming back!
Super welcoming, really lovely thoughtful team, and delicious food. You can taste that it is fresh and homemade.
They were happy to adjust things to accommodate gluten free and dairy free dietary requirements. I'll be coming back regularly!
Decent Chinese food with gluten free options. In Meads Village a 30min walk from the centre or catch the 3A bus. Service was quick. The sweet and sour chicken was good, not outstanding, and I enjoyed my veggie 5 spice Tofu, reasonable value at £44 for 2 meals and drinks.
Beautiful cafe/tearoom. Lovely art deco building. The staff were super friendly. The hot chocolate was divine as was the lemon cake. They also had delicious gluten free options for my friend. We had a lovely time and will definitely be returning. Thank you 🙏🏼
Although I have given this place 5* for food that is only true if you consider ice cream a food.
Service was excellent, was being served by a young lady almost as soon as my party stood at the ice cream counter.
She was attentive and patient as there was 5 if us, my great nephew being gluten intolerant, and was great that they had a full list on the wall showing what ice creams he could have. They had quite a few!!!!
The flavours were many and varied, although a bit short on any sorbet ice cream.
The lady took her time, making sure she rinsed her serving tool between scoops.
As for the atmosphere, the place was pretty full, inside and out as it was a hot sunny day.
All in all, a great place to go for food and especially for ice cream.
If I have any negative about this place it would be lack of parking places, but then it's Eastbourne seafront and very very popular.
Wonderful service with super friendly and efficient staff. Lovely bright interior and great range of options. Many vegan options and I had one of the tomato, mozerella and pesto paninis with gluten free bread, and a gluten free almond and raspberry slice. Both tasted incredible, as did the turmeric lattes and matcha lattes 😍 will definitely be back!
Fantastic food, brilliant service and a great price. I thought we couldn't ask for more, but then it turned out they do vegan milkshakes and gluten-free burger buns! Absolutely marvellous.
I had the lemon bass fillets off the specials menu. It was divine. Glad to see there were gluten free options too.
Would deffo eat here again if we came back to the area.
There were 3 of us dining. 2 drinks each. £90
Nice café with a great selection, especially if you want it to be vegan and gluten-free. The staff are really polite and thoughtful. We come back every time we are on holiday in Eastbourne.
We were there for dinner and had a pinsa and a gluten free pizza with a small side salad. Everything is freshly prepared, well topped and beautifully presented. Gluten-free pasta would also have been possible.
The service was very courteous and friendly.
The only negative point was the quite loud music and the slightly higher prices for drinks.
Great (strong) coffee, soya and oat milk for my other half as well as vegan and gluten free options on the menu together! Usually it’s one or the other. Lovely people and very kind.
Lovely appertivo & live music on a Saturday evening. Lorenzo very kindly pointed me to what could be adjusted to be gluten free - we had a lovely grazing board of charcuterie such as mortadella & breseola, cheese, pickles & salad. We’ve recently been to Bologna, where a spritz and Italian meats is part of their culture, so it’s wonderful to have this addition in Eastbourne!
Hopefully as Signor Panino grows there will be a set gluten free menu, but in the meantime, Lorenzo is more than happy to chat through options.
Looking forward to my next visit!
Came here on the second day of opening, for breakfast, and were truly looked after. Staff all very attentive and polite, the resturant was light and airy and the tables and chairs all very comfortable, sturdy and fit perfectly with the aesthetics. Food and drink is a fair price but the quality superb, even the gluten free options were tastier than most GF alternatives. Tried a number of breakfast spots in Eastbourne but we have now found our favourite spot. Thank you Light at Towner for a wonderful breakfast brunch.
