We love it when new people visit us and it gets them talking. Here’s a new review from Paul Cooper on Restaurant Guide…

What an amazing find. Nearby Hastings has a buzzing cafe scene of nice places to eat, but is a desert for the gourmet. Drive a short distance north to Bodiam, Staplecross and the Curlew will not disappoint anyone. The portions initially look small, but the chef’s creations are of such flavours and textures, the meal will fill you by the end. I really like the wine list, not overpriced, but all superb quality, and the availability of 50dl carafes of many wines cater for different wines with different courses, or the driver only having a single glass. The service is excellent, professional, yet friendly. Also, the tables are far enough apart not to hear other conversations, and the tables have a central pillar, so no corner legs - why cant all restaurants be like this! Thoroughly recommended!
