Ye Olde Smugglers Inne

We had a lovely warm welcome but that’s where the good ended. The king size bed was actually a double and the food was shocking. The beer was fine

Alfriston is the perfect South Downs village and this pub is pretty much perfect too. The staff are so friendly, the atmosphere is cosy and the food is great (tasty and good value). Lovely to stumble across such a well run Sussex pub. Will definitely be going again.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this little, cosy pub-hotel. The room and bathroom were spotless and nicely decorated. We were greeted nicely and felt welcome. The only minus was the breakfast, which was self-service with not much choice and also not the best quality. Ver carta

What a wonderful stay! We had two nights there with our 3 year old daughter and met Mandy on the first night! Super friendly and kind! Second night we also had dinner there and the meal was fantastically delicious! Overall, wonderful weekend stay and definitely planning to go back soon!

The building is fabulous. The morning staff not. Rude. Grumpy. And the breakfast shocking. Claimed to be continental! Unsure which continent. A table of dreadfully cheapest ever yoghurt, pre packed sugary soggy croissant, a tower an a loaf in a bag, watered down juice. Previous guests debris left everywhere. There are two other much nicer places in the village.

A well deserved 1 star, my wife had the audacity to ask for more hot water with her £4.50 pot of tea after it was plonked on the table. She was told to be more specific when ordering. Please remember to say 'May I have a pot of tea please, may I also have a small amount of extra hot water please as I do not want it too strong thank you. ' Hopefully, the tall bearded person behind the bar will say yes and not be defensive and berate you. Ver carta

This place was so welcoming and right in the beating heart of the village. Dropped in yesterday while on a huge hike from Lewes to Eastbourne and needed some grub. Banging Burgers and the Brownie was Ssssooooo good! They even wrapped us some chips to go, which was great. Even though we were late to lunch the team didn’t rush us out and they were so lovely, highly recommend this place! remember it’s the people that make a place perfect, will defo be back in here soon!

Pie unseasoned on couple times I’ve tried it now given up , owner never friendly which runs off on her staff that come an go , tables to small so chairs very close ok for me but can see would be very uncomfortable for lot people. Draughty and cold near door seating and cold up back where it just feels like you’ve been shoved out the way because of lack of service and generally not very nice area. Food portion size small for price, it’s not hard to see why the George is busy every day an smugglers not sadly , needs new life for such a beautiful village

Set in the beautiful village of Alfriston we came across this by chance. A lovely little pub with open fire, incredibly friendly staff, and brilliant food. 2 of us had the Sunday Roast Lamb which was really tasty and tender. Loads of heavy, which you don't get in many places without having to ask! One of us had the steak and that was also really tasty and tender. We tried 3 different deserts, the special lemon and orange pudding, fruit crumble and custard, and chocolate brownie. All were excellent. This was a lovely find, definitely book in advance! It's also Dog friendly, so perfect for walkers in the area. Very reasonable price given the service and quality of the food. Ver carta
