Review of Qualisea Fish Restaurant
24 Apr 08, 16:54
Old School! 
One of the busiest restaurants in Eastbourne, very popular with young and old. It's in a great spot to grab a takeaway and wander down to the seafront (although watch out for the greedy seagulls) Not the best for parking but perfect if you're shopping in town and feeling hungry.

Review of Stanmer House
24 Apr 08, 16:50
Perfect Party Place!
Stanmer House is a real quality venue, perfect for a large party - whether it be for work or friends/family.
I enjoyed a brilliant Christmas do here, the setting is beautiful, the staff were professional and the food was delicious.
You need to have a big group to enjoy it to it's full capacity and I imagine it would be brilliant in the Summer.

Review of Clay Oven
24 Apr 08, 16:46
Yum Yum 
The Clay Oven is a brilliant place to end a drunken night out. Their kebabs are awesome but my particular fave is just a plain old salad pitta bread. You get a huge portion, plenty to soak up the night's debauchery! Also, for a kebab shop it's extremely clean. Be warned though, it does get very busy so be prepared for a wait!

Review of Fratelli
24 Apr 08, 14:18
Slightly disappointing
I really like the feel of this place - the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is good. I was a little disappointed with the food - the menu is Italian 'with a twist' but it can be a bit hit & miss. Great olives though.

Review of Frills All Round
24 Apr 08, 14:08
Brilliant
This shop is a real treasure. They stock all the very best names in baby products and gifts. Also, they make and design furniture - real quality stuff. Roger and his team are really friendly, they're happy to help and give advice to all new Mums and are fully trained on all aspects, including fitting baby seats in cars. Prices are pretty reasonable too and they often have sales on, where you can pick up really good bargains.

Review of Enterprise Shopping Centre
24 Apr 08, 14:02
Good choice
The Enterprise has 2 floors of quirky and interesting shops - from bookshops to butchers! Not so good for clothes but a really good lingerie shop has just opened it's doors. Also, there's a brilliant Noodle bar, which is great for a tasty lunch. Upstairs you'll find more on the health and beauty side, with health shops, acupncture etc. A great alternative to the main shopping centre.

Review of Walkabout Inn
24 Apr 08, 13:44
Spit & Sawdust
This place is heaving on the weekends, with plenty of talent. It's more of a spit and sawdust kind of place but after a few sambuca's - who cares! I wouldn't recommend this bar as a place for a quiet, intimate drink but they do some good themed nights so it's perfect for a big group of pals.

Review of Oliver's Sandwich Bar
24 Apr 08, 13:40
Tasty bite!
Olivers is what you'd expect from a sandwich shop. There's a wide choice of fillings for sandwiches and Jacket Potatoes, plus daily specials. Not every filling is delicious but it's all fresh and served with a smile and a chat from the lovely Oliver's Ladies. Worth a try.

Review of Ancient Mariner
23 Apr 08, 20:48
Work Fave
A popular choice for after work drinks, this pub gets quite busy and has a nice buzz to it. The food is proper pub grub, with a good selection for veggies. The Sunday Roasts are particularly good, although hard to eat if you've gone for the sofa option! Also, stay away from Sunday lunchtime if you are not keen on kids, it can get extremely tiring on your eardrums with all the screeching and running about. Good outdoor area for smokers, although the heating could be better. Bar staff are friendly and happy to perform, my last visit included the barmaid doing an impression of the lady in the Baileys ad, who shakes about all over the shop. Particularly amusing after a few large wines.

Review of Cosmo
23 Apr 08, 20:39
Not my cup of tea 
Cosmo's is an airport buffet style restaurant. The decor is stark, blank white walls and tiny tables placed about 2 centimetres from your fellow diners. You are allocated a time slot and then it's every man for himself! The food selection is wide but served luke warm. It's a great place to go if you are starving hungry as you can eat and eat and eat. No atmosphere, depsite the staff being very friendly. Don't go there for a first date!
