   We decided to eat at the Glasshouse after a recommendation from a friend. We specifically booked on a Sunday for the roast lunch which looked excellent from the menu online, however when we arrived we were given a brunch menu and on enquiry, were told the roasts had stopped as of the Friday before. This was very disappointing and I think we should have had some communication about this. We would have left and found somewhere else to eat but at 1:30pm we would not have gotten in anywhere else. The food we had was excellent (buttermilk chicken burgers and chorizo hash) as was the service but the choices were very limited (breakfast on a Sunday lunchtime is odd) and most non-breakfast options seemed very overpriced. Unlikely to visit again.

   Food was lovely but the menu is very limited, especially for vegetarians and children. Service was very friendly but slow. Waited an hour and 40 minutes for food with three young children.

   The service was really slow, not sure what happened but we waited 25 minutes for our drink order after sitting down which were only coffees, and then a further 47 minutes after the drinks arrived for our food, we arrived at 10:25am for Sunday brunch so not the height of Sunday lunch. We ask to speak to the manger and we were informed that our food was going to be another 10 minutes. I suggested maybe start telling other diners that there is a going to be a delay in ordering their food, and we witnessed another four tables complaining about the waiting of their food. When the food arrived it wasn't as good as the first time we went, I feel they are still having massive staffing problems which is a great shame for the staff that were working as they all looked completely lost and were running around just trying to cope, yet still allowing more and more tables to be sat. A massive disappointment, and will not be returning, and over heard a few tables discussing the same on the way out.

   Service and portion sizes have improves since opening, lovely new menu. Slightly pricey but great food and location, you get what you pay for.

   Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Food was good. Sunshine in this beautiful glass house made it a lovely place to eat a Sunday roast with my mum and special friend.

   A morning coffee with friends. Pleasant environment but got noisier as the morning went on and it got busier. Friendly staff and lovely location. Would go there again

   Gorgeous building in super seaside setting. The space is beautifully designed. We went for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. We particularly liked the starter of fried artichokes - original, light and delicious. Once we were installed service was good, but I think they need to sort out a warmer welcome - everyone coming in was left to their own devices for several minutes and looked a bit disconcerted. Other than that - a great addition to the Eastbourne dining community.

    Our Sunday Family Feast was excellent value for money and truly delicious! Despite skipping breakfast, the four of us couldn't manage to finish the very generous quantity of meat... highly recommended and the perfect meal to celebrate a family birthday together.
