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.

Great for gluten free options! Such unique flavours, will definitely remember to come back if I'm in Eastbourne again!

Therese McCabe

Always have trouble eating out as I'm gluten-free and dairy-fre e. But had a good choice of food to choose from. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable which helped. We're definitely recommend it to people similar as me.and we'll be going back again

Simon Bentley

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!

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.

Chef Davide and his wife Carla moved to the UK in 2015, having run a successful vegan restaurant in their native Sardinia for many years, and opened Ancient Grains in the popular Meads Village in Eastbourne a few years ago. The restaurant has proved very successful, serving traditional, and rather delicious Sardinian dishes. Following a recent refurbishment the restaurant has just re-opened from Thurs-Sun, and the really good news is that Sardinian Sunday roasts are now on the menu for the first time! Between us, we had roast lamb, pork, and chicken, all beautifully cooked and wonderfully tender, having been thoroughly marinated beforehand. Instead of the traditional English accompaniments of greens and Yorkshire pudding, was a mixture of red peppers and chicory, alongside potatoes and carrots. Homemade garlic toast was an interesting addition. So, if you fancy Sunday lunch with a difference, why not give it a try. For dessert we had a dark orange truffle with cashew nuts, maple syrup and orange zest, served with homemade vanilla ice cream: vegan, gluten-free, and delicious! On other days, the restaurant offers a walk-in menu, or for those who book in advance, a more extensive pre-order menu. The pasta dishes are particularly good, with the pasta made on site, including a gluten-free option, which is very welcome.

We had a fantastic evening at Bistrot Pierre. The food was exceptional as was the service by our waitress Ells. This restaurant has impressive sea views and caters very well for gluten free / coeliacs.

Julia Wood

This morning, myself and 12 members of my family, went for a pre booked breakfast at The Perch. Communication, service, food and experience was impeccable from start to finish. Kate dealt with my initial booking and accepted the many changes up until the day before without question. Total professionalism. On arrival we ordered drinks and then, when all were seated, our breakfasts were brought out piping hot. Delicious food and gluten free dishes were checked and cooked separately. Could not fault anything. Staff super friendly, nothing was a problem and happy to help. It was the perfect experience and i cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to everyone at The Perch.

Andy Voakes

The most fantastic Gluten Free Breakfast You can have.

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!

By far the best pub in Eastbourne. The menu has a great variety of dishes including gluten free and vegan options. The food is incredible (especially the pies!). The staff are wonderful every time I visit and it’s a favourite when I have guests to stay. Today I had a Brie, Truffle and butternut squash tart and it was unbelievable!

Great breakfast, lovely staff - good for gluten free breakfast

Alan Steele

Nice restaurant and ideal for the theatre. Lots of gluten free options so my wife was happy. Quick service with a smile.

David Clegg

We enjoyed the traditional Christmas feast, several glasses of white wine and could have had a pudding aswell for an extra £5 each. The service was very attentive and friendly, with special attention to allergens, having gluten and dairy free options, including gravy. We were half an hour late but still accommodated. There is free parking on the main road outside, 2 hrs., no return. Close to the shopping centre and Eastbourne rail station.

Amber Cain

This place is such a gem! Myself, my partner and family and my friends adore this cafe. Such incredible food and there is a nice variety especially considering there is always delicious options for those who are gluten free, pescatarian or vegetarian and vegan etc. There is always an abundance and variation of sweet treats and savoury pastries! Honestly overwhelmed with choice but no matter how many of the different food or cake options I have tried they have never fallen short of the mark! Such a friendly and warm welcoming team as well, we are always greeted with a smile! If you haven’t already been you are missing out!!! Added some photos too as you just can’t beat a good brunch!

Miss Hypercreation

Had a fantastic Vegan Gluten free Burger ' they cater for all ' with a great selection of vegan and gluten free on the menu ' great service also

Andy Pattinson

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.

Katherine Schutte

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!

Margarita Maoudis

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

Firstly, I have got to apologise... I was expecting standard 'pub grub' but I was wrong. Absolutely amazing. My wife is gluten free and we noticed that there was gluten free options so she opted for the gluten free fish and chips and I had the ploughman's. The fish and chips did appear pale compared to normal fish and chips but don't be decived, my wife stated it was the best she had tasted...... Thank you... The service and staff added to the experience. It is definately on our return list.

Nina F.

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.

Genevieve Orsi

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!
