Webbe's at The Fish Cafe

Rye is a small town located just 1 hour and 6 minutes from London St Pancras Station. This restaurant is considered the best seafood spot in town, offering fresh and flavorful dishes. The scallops, steamed seafood panache and mango parfait are particularly delightful.

Happy find! Went for the bonfire but didn’t book anywhere so we were very lucky to find this restaurant and that they were very accommodating to us. Me and my partner had the fish and chips which I was happy to find out where gluten and dairy free so I was a happy bunny, esp as you wouldn’t know the difference. Loved the home cooked chips , proper chunky ones

Went on a cookery course, absolutely fantastic. The tuition from Paul was first class and the food we produced you would be happy to pay a lot of money for. This was a great day and I would definitely go again on a different course. If you have any interest in food either go on one of these courses or to the restaurant. Nov 2nd. Went to the restaurant this time for a family meal for 9 and it was fantastic. Food, atmosphere and service were spot on and the attention to detail in the food made the experience very special. CTC

We came here for a birthday dinner, and it was magnificent. The food was delicious, the tables were comfortable and the service was lovely. Will be back again!

The fish dishes were all fresh and cooked with care, just lacking punchy or deep flavours; Prosecco was mediocre but oysters were good (vinaigrette could have been better though); Service was friendly and attentive; restaurant was very quiet so lacked atmosphere; all in all a pleasant lunch!

Having dined in the restaurant in Hastings we thought it would be equally as good here, sadly it was not. The venue is devoid of atmosphere, feeling like an old warehouse but without the attraction of many similar venues in the U.K. The food was the highlight, but even that fell short of expectations, I had the sea bass, was well cooked, but the sauce was all conquering, whilst being a little bland! My partner went for scallops, creamed potatoes, and crispy pancetta, this looked whimsical and tasted very good. Deserts, one raspberry crème brûlée, nice,and one frozen mango parfait with mango and passion fruit sorbet and chunks. Which was the best bit. Service was pedestrian.

We managed to sneak a 2 seated table late on a Friday night. Staff were super helpful and managed to work around the busy restaurant to get us an earlier booking. The restaurant has a cosy feel with low dimmed mood lighting and spacious tables. Staff were attentive and keen to help with advice and wine testers being provided. Food was served hot and full of flavour. Price wise, you get what you pay for but for starter and main and drinks for 2, the totals was less than expected. A wonderful choice of wines and seafood available which appear locally sourced. Overall and very enjoyable experience and well deserved 5 stars

The tastiest Easter lunch of the my last 5 years. Fantastic location, fantastically good food, good service. Amazing wine. We ate everything 3 appetizers, 3 bloody Marys, 3 main courses, 3 desserts, 3 coffees, 1 water, a bottle of superb French wine, 1 digestive, for a total of £70 each, only and exclusively fish, scallops, oysters, moussels, crab... If I go back to Rye I've already know where to go. Next stop I will come to test the restaurant in Hasting. Highly recommended.

The staff was VERY accommodating. My cousin is quite chatty so we were running late for our reservation (coming from a wine bar down the lane) and they didn't seem to mind, so long as we ordered quickly. I realize now that we kept those poor people an hour past their closing time. Everyone in my party loved their food/drink. I had the best oysters of my life (3 with a glass of rose bubbly for 10 quid. A must have!) and a half lobster with nice thick cut chips and mayo. We had a lot of wine, so I don't remember a lot, but I do know it was clean, well run, and everything was delicious! I will come back to the UK one day. There is a Southern train stop here in Rye that has connections to the bigger city.

We've been to Fish Cafe many times for anniversaries, birthday dinners, and family meals. Every time they've made it special with accommodating service and excellent food. Highly recommend if you're in Rye. You will not be disappointed

This is a stunningly converted old warehouse made into a Bistro style cafe downstairs and a fancier restaurant upstairs, plus a function suite. The Fish cafe downstairs is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, if you want really fresh and well prepared fish and seafood this is the place to come. I had cod in a beer batter which came with amazing chips, very upmarket fish and chips. My mother had the local lobster which came with chips and a great rocket salad. Prices are on the high side but the quality is worth it. Only negative was service being a little haphazard, there seemed to be plenty of staff but they were not always very attentive so it seemed we were forgotten about for a time.

Very creative menu slanted toward fresh local seafood. Really enjoyed their creative fish platter and a lobster special. Excellent service and very personable Highly recommended.

I just had lunch with my daughter here. This restaurant just keeps on getting better and I was pleased to see it busy at lunchtime. Both of us were very impressed with the fresh seafood and excellent service. Rye Bay scallops - pan fried - terrific. Wine list is not too long and well explained.

Mortgage Free Fish Dinner ! (http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186276-d1012540-r132075042-Webbe_s_at_the_Fish_Cafe-Rye_East_Sussex_England.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT) We visited this restaurant on Friday 16 of March 2012 around 7 pm. We asked for a table but it was all booked. The only possibility was that we could have a table if we left by 8 o clock. We were starving and it took no time to decide. So in we went. Atmosphere is a rustic/chic type, very pleasant. We sat down and we ordered a potted crab and a mix of smoked fish for a starter which were served on very arty plates. The fish was at its freshest although there was a little accident as I found a couple of bits of shell in my crab (although unpleasant this shows it was freshly prepared). I called the manager and he was very apologetic and he said he would take the dish off the bill. For a main course we had fish and chips and a steamed plaice with veggie. Once in your mouth you didn't have to do anything it just melted like ice cream. We had a bottle of sparkling mineral water, their own brand which was also very good, not too fizzy like a lot of brands, that once drunk you feel that you can take off !!! The bread (we could see had at least 6 different types of loaf, tasted like the oven was next door and at 50 PENCE PER SERVING !!! In London it would have been the same price we paid for the starter here. The bill come to £ 35 without the Crab dish which would have made it £ 42. An absolute bargain for fish at such a level. One minor point. The music in the background was in a kind of loop as it played the same song for the whole of the hour we stayed. I suppose we were too busy stuffing ourselves to notice it earlier. We will go back anytime we are in the area. This is a top notch Fish Restaurant.

We went following the recommendations on this site and were somewhat disappointed. Have to say the food was truly excellent and fresh (fish & chips and plaice), but their timing was completely off. We received the "on arrival" amuse-gueule olives just a minute before the main course arrived. And the staff was not very attentive, so we never got a chance to order more drinks.

Visited last week of September 2009 and was bowled over with the quality of the food. We selected local fish, it was Rye bay plaice with brown shrimp sauce and it was wonderful. Great atmosphere, being bale to watch the chef's prepare and cook adds drama, never once did they looked stressed or rushed. Our service was fine, perhaps it would have been nice to have communication during the meal but it did allow you savour the food. Good wine selection and a good range of by the glass selections including champagne. Middle of the road pricing and worth every penny.
