Hoof - Rye

Excellent customer service by the young lady. Prompt and looked after us. The only loss was the medium-rare sirloin was overcooked slightly, and no steak knives provided.

Lovely décor and it's nice that it's one of the few places still serving food at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Visited Wednesday evening booked a table as it can get busy. The steaks are fabulous, but the chips looked anaemic and resembled the cheapest frozen chips you can buy. Steaks are accompanied by mushroom and vine tomatoes some tender stem broccoli would have been a great addition to the dish. We followed with Eton mess, the dish was runny, lacked the thick cream the base of this simple dessert. Plus side staff were polite, helpful and chatty.

Absolutely delicious, my favourite restaurant in Rye. Everyone is so friendly and dogs are welcome. My pups had a fantastic time.

Restaurant was ok, food presentation was great. Burger was way too dry, I asked it to be medium and it was over well done. Gluten free buns and many vegetarian options available. Cleanliness was not the best, menus were dirty and tables sticky.

Popped in for an ad hoc lunch whilst visiting Rye. Really warm welcome and great table upstairs. I had the halloumi burger. We also had a lamb burger, kids fish and chips, and kids burger. Only marked down 1 as only 1 veggie option but it was really tasty.

Was recommended this place, by someone that travelled from Kent, so must be good
We sat upstairs, which is a little quieter, looking down on the quaint part of Rye high street. Nice feel about it.

Although quieter upstairs, unlike other places I have been to, we were not forgotten by the staff, who regularly came up to see if we needed anything. Well, I always need another drink!

Apparently, they use beef from their own farm, which is always nice. Home made burger, using good beef, very tasty. Great selection of burgers and steaks.

Lovely setting and visit recommended when in Rye.
Staff very welcoming and helpful and attentive.
Food was very good quality and cooked well.
Both of us enjoyed the rib eye steak, sharing an Eton Mess dessert.

There are two seating as evening at the restaurant, we had the later one. Because of this, the wait staff gets caught up trying to serve the entire restaurant at once.

Our nacho starter took 35 minutes to arrive and we’re mostly chips and cheese with too little toppings and we’re charged for more salsa. Our chateaubriand took another 40 minutes after that, which was nice and well cooked. We gave up before dessert.

Make sure you don’t sit near the door in winter, we spent the entire time freezing because people kept walking in asking for tables.

Overall, it was an ok experience, but I’m not sure I’d go back.
