"I was looking for a lunch venue for friends that were coming to Eastbourne for the day, I looked online for somewhere that would suit one vegetarian one gluten free and one who for medical reasons needed to choose from the children's menu. The Beachy Head menu looked perfect, I also asked for a window table. When we arrived we were given paper menus that were nothing like the online versions, and no window table. On querying the difference in menu choices we were told head office put the online menu on and It wasn't available here! What is the point of doing my research only to find it wasn't a true representation of what was on offer? I can't let this go unanswered, it wasn't me (a local) who approached the bar it was one of my guests, I didn't see the online menu she showed you but I can confirm that the menu I was looking at online when I made the booking was from the Beachy Head website which looked perfect with the choices, but was nothing like the paper menus we were handed on arrival. The children's menu that was online didn't appear at all, which was a specific requirement when I drove to the venue in person and booked it. Also I don't know who you are referring to in your reply because we were a party of three not five, booked weeks in advance. I have looked at the cuckmere Inn website and as part of vintage Inns their menu is identical, so I can see what you mean when you told my guest it is put on by Head office. I was disappointed on the day with the menu, especially after extensive research beforehand, but the venue itself was beautiful as a local I know it well, and the staff were very friendly, it has been a valuable lesson in double checking before booking."
