    Brilliant as usual. The Sussex Cicken venue was one of the best we have tasted.

    We were disappointed to find the Easter menu was not available on Eastrr Monday and was only available on Sunday. It didn't mention that on the website. It is a bit pricey for Bexhill, £20 for fish and chips. Amber our server was excellent

    We are regular visitors to the Relais Cooden Beach because the Food, Service and ambience are excellent with a good variety of menus. On our recent visit my wife had the Greek Salad menu with Chicken and she counted no less than 14 different salad items. It was delicious. I had the locally sourced Fish with Chips and peas, always the best in the area. The deserts are very varied and always of top quality. Well done Cooden Beach, the staff are very attentive but without being, overly so.
