"I have been dining many times at The Royal Indian Restaurant in Hailsham since 2021 I want to congratulate the owner, Viv Samuel his brilliant staff team for their superb curry house. I can truly say that I've never been dissapointed by The Royal, it's an exceptional restaurant that I've recommended to many friends. I've hosted a Christmas Party for over 20 guests there took over the restaurant for my birthday last year. Both occasions were excellent, my guests had a really great time I have lovely memories of both events. Viv is always on hand to give you a great welcome has that ability to make every guest feel valued special. The restaurant is most attractively laid out with a warm ambience spotlessly clean, creating a really lovely dining experience. The menu has been thoughtfully created incorporating some unusual recipes from his family in Southern India. Viv his staff team are knowlegeable about their cuisine dishes can be altered to suit their guests individual tastes. The Royal also offers an excellent range of wines some lovely cocktails liqueur coffees. If you have spare room after your main courses, Viv also has some delicious puddings. I would be very surprised if you did not enjoy your dining experience at The Royal. Many of Viv's guests come to his restaurant on a regular basis become old friends. Highly satisfied customers, Val Ian from Polegate."

"We had the pleasure of dining at Callenders Restaurant on a Wednesday evening, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly smile. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was perfect. Each dish was fresh, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. And the chips were amazing! The best I've had in any restaurant. It's clear that quality ingredients and expert preparation are a priority here and I haven't come across another restaurant locally that matches the quality that is served here. We were particularly impressed with how accommodating the restaurant was for our 11-month-old son. They provided a high chair and even prepared a mini portion of fries and some ice cream specifically for him under good will. This thoughtful gesture made our evening even more special. From start to finish, everything was perfect. We left very happy and will absolutely be returning. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening; I will be recommending to everyone I know!"

"Not impressed, waited two hours for delivery and food was cold when it arrived. We were told that the food was out for delivery twice before it arrived another 30minutes later. When we phoned to say we weren't happy with the service and wanted to be compensated we we're told that it wasn't possible due to policy. Pizza were average at best, but I couldn't be sure as they were stone cold when they arrived. We were offered 20% off our next order which is pointless as we won't be ordering from there again."

"Eaten here twice in the last 10 days. Great service, prompt and non obtrusive plus the staff are really smiley! Food is delicious, well presented and of a good quality Plus their coffee is excellent. Lovely crockery and tableware makes this feel more than your average cafe. Clearly a very popular place, as on both occasions it was packed with customers. This is my new favourite Hailsham breakfast, brunch or lunch venue!"

"We visited B12 for our grandsons birthday as he lives in Hailsham. The place was extremely busy and it looked like the staff were on the go constantly. We ordered our starters a mains and started having a chat between us. A full half hour later, we were told they didn't have one of the starters. Which was fine but to decide a full half an hour later it was not on the menu that night was a tad much. Surely, as soon as the order hit the kitchen, staff should have been informed and a replacement sought. Anyway, an hour later, we were starting to feel hungry and I think staff noticed and were sent over to get another drinks order from us. Another full 1/2 an hour later, the food started to appear. The starters were lovely and enjoyed by all. The mains appeared a short while later but right away I noticed the burger I had ordered, looked like it could have been used to shoe a donkey. To hammer the nails in. It was so hard, it crunched when I bit into it. No way was I eating that. So it was sent back. I was asked if I would like something else but as it had already been an hour and a shelf since we ordered, I decided not to bother. By this time, everyone at the table was so hungry they just tucked in and got on with it. It was only after the mains were nearly finished that we discovered that two or three people's side orders were completely missing. The staff only asked if everything was OK during the used plate collection. When it was far too late to do anything about any issues we may have had. They were informed of the issues and apologised for all the mistakes. No offer of compensation was received. We were extremely disappointed with the food and the service. Needless to say, we have decided not to go back to B12."
