The Chelsea Corner, Eastbourne

Following the much awaited opening of The Chelsea Corner we decided to support a local business and took the plunge to dine with them. The ambience was lovely, the service exceptional and the food fantastic. The only thing that let the place down was the music (far too loud and of disco type). I did express our views to the waitress who was very diplomatic and said she would address the situation.

As yet, we haven't been back, however, close friends of ours have visited during the daytime (on recommendation) and have reported quite a different story. One friend ordered a cooked breakfast and could only descibe it as " a complete mess" the other having asked for two options and being told that both were unavailable, decided not to eat.

Not sure what to make of this place. Would definitely like to sample the food again in the evening due to OUR experience (particularly the moules which were exceptional and the fact that the Chef clearly knew his stuff) but will most probably pass on the lunchtime menu!
