I was looking for a cosy pub that did simple bar meals and we came across the Pipemakers Arms. They…read morehad a lovely range of Burgers and Chips, Barbecue Burgers, chicken skewers, and to complement them a full range of homemade coleslaw, salad etc. Our two kids wanted Burgers and Chips (what kids want anything else), and we tried the chicken skewers. The portions were very generous and my giant of a 28 year old had to finish off our meals (although the the very welcoming staff would have happily put our leftovers in doggy boxes). The Pipemakers are open Tuesday to Sunday with meals served between 12am and 4pm or later if there are customers wanting food. The kids liked their cokes and the adults chose from a great range of beers. All the prices were so reasonably priced that we would be happy to go again.

I've been going to this pub for beers and a bite to eat for over 10 years now as my monthly trips…read moreto Rye usually lead to a pint with my parents. Good service and well-kept ales are always on hand, and its decent size means there's usually space for everyone. The meals I've had in the "Wipers" have been great for quality and value (hence the photo of a delicious dressed crab uploaded to this profile), and usually use the freshest seasonal ingredients the area has to offer. Seafood's usually the speciality, especially during the Rye Scallop Festival, and the shared platter is well worth trying if you have a few fellow fish-eating foodies with you. You'll definitely have to book early for a Sunday lunch in my experience. The pub's very comfortable, whether you're sat by the fire in winter or in the big beer garden in the summer, and if you're looking for entertainment then visit on a Friday when local bands take centre stage.

A great place to hang out, friendly patrons ... just great! P.S.: I once created this shop site and later told the owner to claim it. And he did. ;)

I hold the hotel attached to this restaurant in very high regard, but my opinion of The George…read morerestaurant is somewhat lower. We've sampled the dinner and the breakfast here and neither was memorable. At dinner, we had a slightly stringy ribeye that the kitchen would only offer done medium, and a nice spatchcock chicken in a pleasant tarragon sauce. The affogato we shared for dessert wasn't bad at all but the advertised cardamom ice cream didn't really taste of spice. It might be that flavoured ice cream in an affogato is a bad idea from the get, given that you're going to pour espresso over the thing -- it'd have to be marmite flavoured for any of that taste to get through. Breakfast the next morning featured a disappointing eggs benedict whose yolks were as well-cooked as the previous night's steak. The coffee to wash it down with was anemic -- though we learned that decent coffee is pretty rare in Rye generally, aside from strong stuff at The Apothecary down the high street. I don't want to be too down on The George. I adore the hotel, the staff are lovely, and menu incidentals like chips and sauces are all top-notch. But the quality of the hotel leaves one expecting the restaurant to hit a higher standard.

I asked for no extra salt to be added to mine and it showed: the fish was quite bland as was the overall pesto sauce. That being said, it was very light and appreciated after a day of drinking and hot chocolate drinks. An annoyance though was the dish was described as having scallops and there was only one scallop with the meal! The cod portion was very good though. My husband LOVED his food, praising the flavour and amount of meat on his plate. Also, he appreciated the full bottle of ketchup given. However, he was only given a butter and not a steak knife and the waitress explained those are never given to customers. Huh?! Still, we overall had a nice experience and would return if in Rye. Decent prices too compared to other places.

Some cask ales, several lagers on offer, traditional pub grub, and a two-bench outside seating are to the front/side. Friendly staff, this is a place to linger over a number of pints. Prices are as expected in the area (the popular model medieval of Rye). Named "Cinque Ports" after the street it's on, which in turn alludes to Rye's former historical significance as one of the "five important ports" in the area. Craft beer drinkers should opt for the nearby "Waterworks" micro pub instead.
