We make British food with a classic or modern slant. We source our ingredients from the local fields, woodlands and waters. Everything is cooked on the premises, including the sourdough bread and the icecreams.
The Good Food Guide (2023) says: "A fittingly quaint old building, complete with original features, given a suave modern twist via grey panelling and contemporary furniture. Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing.

Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice. However, we cannot cater for vegans.

***
Please note, due to customer allergies, we cannot allow dogs on the premises.

    The food was both delicious and imaginative. Portions were just right, and the extra free nibbles were much appreciated. Wine was also very good and reasonably priced

    We had a fantastic dining experience at the Landgate Bistro. The food was exceptional and perfectly crafted and presented. Every mouthful was an exquisite. The service was also first class, we were very well looked after, not rushed and it didn’t feel forced, it was genuinely enjoyable in every way. We will be back very soon!

    Another good meal in what we think is the best restaurant in Rye. Service helpful and efficient. Menu short but interesting and locally sourced.

    Lovely Bistro that punches above its weight. We had dinner there on a Friday night and he ambience, service and food were great. Visually the food is very well presented and flavoursome to match. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Finally the wine list was good too without it being lacking in choice nor over blown with expensive bottles. We will be going back next time we're in Rye and would strongly recommend that it.

    The food at the Landgate is always excellent, but unfortunately our last visit was marred by very slow service - we arrived at 8pm and were not served our staters until 9. Maybe they were short staffed in the kitchen.
