    Food was lovely but the menu is very limited, especially for vegetarians and children. Service was very friendly but slow. Waited an hour and 40 minutes for food with three young children.

    Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Food was good. Sunshine in this beautiful glass house made it a lovely place to eat a Sunday roast with my mum and special friend.

    A morning coffee with friends. Pleasant environment but got noisier as the morning went on and it got busier. Friendly staff and lovely location. Would go there again

    Gorgeous building in super seaside setting. The space is beautifully designed. We went for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. We particularly liked the starter of fried artichokes - original, light and delicious. Once we were installed service was good, but I think they need to sort out a warmer welcome - everyone coming in was left to their own devices for several minutes and looked a bit disconcerted. Other than that - a great addition to the Eastbourne dining community.

    Our Sunday Family Feast was excellent value for money and truly delicious! Despite skipping breakfast, the four of us couldn't manage to finish the very generous quantity of meat... highly recommended and the perfect meal to celebrate a family birthday together.

    We've been to The Glass House three times now, and the food has been excellent every time. The vegan breakfast and roast wellington is by far the best I've had, not just in Eastbourne, but anywhere, and it's reasonably priced too. Great atmosphere, beautiful setting and delicious food and service to match, thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
