"I initially loved this place, but after years of being a customer, the owner refused to honor a voucher given to me as a wedding present before the national lockdown. When I tried to discuss this, the owner responded with unprofessional, sarcastic, and antagonistic language. While I understand that 2020 has been difficult for the hospitality industry, it has also been tough for consumers. By not honoring the voucher, they have lost my business and potential future income from me. The owner challenged me for not using the voucher during their takeaway service in lockdown, not realizing that I was trying to minimize unnecessary contact due to caring for vulnerable individuals. I have always had great experiences at The Giant's Rest, whether it be Christmas Day dinner, family gatherings, or relaxing Sunday afternoons after a walk with my dog. However, I am extremely disappointed in the owner's behavior today and will not be returning or recommending this place in the future."

Lovely place to stay. We stayed here while we were looking for University accommodation. I would definitely stay again.

I only had coffee at this restaurant. The menu didn't interest me, but I found it to be simple and pricey. It's a nice spot for a drink if you're visiting the Long Man of Wilmington.

Great country pub. Local Longman beers on tap. Delicious food at decent prices. This is one of the best Sussex pubs in the area. Child and dog friendly. Lovely Sunday roasts and great home cooked pies. One of my favourite pubs.

This is the second time we've had their special Christmas Day lunch. Pricey, but an excellent, five course meal. Friendly staff and a convivial atmosphere. The only criticism is not actually their fault, but it does get very noisy in there, and people have to almost shout to be heard. Not very relaxing!

Friendly local pub popular with locals and tourists. Friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Food was very traditional pub fare, nice quality dishes and well presented. My only criticism is that as a local I would quickly exhaust the menu as I prefer more variety than the traditional offering here. Worth a return visit.

Good beers and excellent food. Rabbit bacon and prune pie was delicious, good pastry, packed with rabbit meat and the juice in the pie was rich sweet and savoury. Good selection of veg to go with it, a small pot of the juice/gravy to go with the veg would have been nice. Sticky date and ginger pudding was truly excellent. Service pretty good, though we had to attract attention to order desserts. A bit crammed together, though it was a busy Sunday lunch. Very enjoyable.

"Honestly...one of the best pub restaurants I have ever visited! We chose to eat here as it was recommended via Alistair Sawday, and it did not disappoint. The food, atmosphere, hygiene and service were all 5* when we visited last night. We sat inside, by candlelight, and ordered 2 starters (the Rye smoked mackerel with buttercream sauce and the heritage tomato salad and 2 mains (the beef burger with fries and the hake with toasted ciabatta and garden peas . It was truly exquisite! We both cleaned our plates (and we don't usually do that! . My only mild criticism is that I didn't realise the hake dish would include bacon lardons they certainly added to the flavour, but as an ethical pescatarian, this could have ruined the meal for me (I didn't allow it to, but 10 years ago when I was more strict it may have upset me . I may have simply missed this ingredient when reading the menu, and I didn't make the waiting staff aware of my dietary preferences, so I accept this was my fault and not theirs. It's just something for other pescatarians reading this review to be aware of. I have absolute confidence that they would prepare the hake dish without the bacon lardons if you asked. As for me....my boyfriend gleefully took them from my plate and demolished them himself! We also enjoyed a medium glass of wine each my boyfriend (who is very particular loved the tempranillo and I had their Italian pinot grigio. Our entire meal would have been less than £60, but with the current government incentive scheme to eat in, it came to less than £40!! We tipped generously as they truly deserved it. We will 100% be returning and can't advocate them enough."
