I absolutely love this pub! The food, service, and building are all fantastic. It?s dog friendly, which is a big plus, and the staff are always so warm and welcoming. Everything here is amazing?I honestly can?t fault it. ????

Lovely little pub with an excellent beer garden. Staff were really nice and even gave my daughter some free blackcurrant squash

We came for Sunday lunch after looking up on line for a day out .
I ordered a large Malbec but they only had enough for a medium, we ordered duck pate and Stilton mushrooms but they only had the mushrooms so my partner had prawn cocktail instead which was underwhelming. We both had pork asked for apple sauce but they had none . The food we had was well cooked medium portion.
The pub was empty which was a shame . The staff were helpful and attentive.

Fabulous local pub. 5 of us and 2 dogs and sat in beer garden. Service was fab and very welcoming. Food was delicious and freshly made and well presented. Guys regularly checked if everything was ok and if we needed anything. Would 100% return if I go the Newhaven again

Unfortunately it took forever to get your food, everything else was good

A 5* Sunday lunch! I visited today with my husband and mother in law. The two front of house staff were lovely and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed . I ordered the lamb roast, my husband ordered the duo roast, and must MIL ordered the special chicken dish. All three of us cleared our plates and really enjoyed the food. We shared the key lime pie which was also very tasty. If you're in the area you must visit. Thanks again for a thoroughly enjoyable Sunday Lunch!

Flying fish is a charming spot with a lovely building and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you?re stopping by for a casual drink or a night out with friends, it has that classic pub feel that makes you want to stay a while.
The Guinness here is excellent?well-poured, smooth, and exactly what you?d hope for in a proper pint. It?s definitely a highlight and reason enough to visit.
Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming, though to be fair, it was late on a Friday night, so that might have played a role. Maybe it?s better earlier in the evening or on a quieter day, but based on this experience, the drinks were the real star of the show.
Overall, Flying Fish is a great spot for a pint in a beautiful setting, but if you?re coming for the food, it might be hit or miss depending on the timing.

Very disappointed, had read a few good reviews about the food and thought we would visit and try for ourselves.
Lamb roast, the lamb was extremely fatty, the gravy very thin and tasteless, the veg very hard and it was very expensive.
We shall not be returning

Really enjoyed our delicious Sunday lunch. We even got extra Yorkshire puds on the house. Food was generous and very tasty. Highly recommended. Just read the other reviews and I've got to say the reviewers are either unlucky or posted neg on purpose. The staff couldn't be more accommodating. Give it a go.

No food available, no blackcurrant for our drinks (for the second time) won't be going back.

Flying fish needs to update their name because we went there expecting to eat fish but we were later informed there?s no fish after we already ordered drinks.
Workers gave us a blank face when we entered. Like, do we need to seat ourselves? Or do we need to be seated?
We paid for our drinks and left and looked for the ?fish that flew? somewhere else.
What a waste of time and money!!!

Maybe it was a bad day but when we went there most beer was off and the food was below average but prices were not below average.
