Brilliant and sensitive staff- I had to change my booking time and numbers and they were happy to fit in with my changes with smiles and enthusiasm. Food was really good. I had fish and chips and the fish was melt-in-the-mouth fresh with a light batter and crunchy chips- excellent! Staff were great- helpful and smiling like they were enjoying their job and engaging with customers. Fabulous- thank you Rainbow!

• Gastro Pub • St Leonards-On-Sea
Booked 11 times today
Greeted by name upon arrival, offered choice of table, served promptly and knowledgeably by friendly and attentive staff who enjoyed chatting about the dishes on offer. Great wine and beer selection. The food was fantastic - fresh, high quality and very fairly priced. Delicious trout paired with fennel and dill, great starter. The lamb was cooked beautifully and the goat curd pairing was out of this world. Loved the decor and ambience, perfect low-lit gastropub atmosphere. Nothing to fault, everything to praise.

Had a lovely time. I am gluten and dairy free and very rarely do I get offered to have something added to swap what I can’t have. Was absolutely delighted to be offered an alternative. Food was delicious, service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
