Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

BAYTE, is a modern European neighbourhood restaurant with an emphasis on local sourcing and quality produce in the seaside town of St Leonards-on-Sea. The seasonal menu blends influences from across the globe, with particular reference to Italian recipes, such as hand-rolled pastas.
The meat at BAYTE is free-range and reared on biodynamic, organic Haye Farm in Devon. Vegetables are also sourced from organic suppliers, most of them from English and Japanese vegetable growers Namayasai, and Goat Grid Farm, both in nearby Lewes.

Large open space with acoustic treatment in the ceiling which in such a space is 100% necessary. The restaurant was quite busy and 4 of us round the table could hear one another. It was a cold day, the place was warm, with overhead radiant heaters and a large log-burning stove was kept fuelled-up by staff. The tables, and the two sofas next to the log burner are pleasingly arranged; during daylight the ambience is bright and lively. The food was delicious. Mains are not cheap; 3 of us had pasta dishes which were sufficient in quantity despite being in the starter part of the menu and as such were good value. Could do better: I found the retro church hall chairs, although a good aesthetic fit, did not work well as dining chairs, as they are designed for a lean-back sit. Service was suitably attentive and happily unfussy.

We were a group of 6 having a late lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was pretty busy, but service was pretty attentive and it was great to see the chefs buzzing around in the open kitchen. We all agreed it was one of the best meals we'd had in a long time and although prices were pretty punchy, we devoured everything and wanted more. Our top favourites were the croquettes, bavette steak, buttered swede, rice pudding and tiramisu - veggie/gluten free options also went down very well. We loved every dish and will definitely return.

Creative, well presented and delicious food. From starters through to desserts, each dish was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with great service that was prompt and welcoming. Would definitely eat there again.

Such a wonderful meal, great service, delicious food and a beautiful ambience. The portion sizes were just right. No complaints at all! Can't wait to enjoy not only Pasta Monday again, but return to see what else BAYTE offers! Thanks for a great evening.

Every dish was delicious! We were a group of seven on a Saturday lunchtime. We ordered all the small starters to share, and enjoyed this and every course. We loved it!
