Food and drink in Rye

Rye's High Street hosts an array of delicatessens, bookshops and other quirky independent emporia. Luxury products, antiques, books, records and artisan goods are Rye’s specialties, jostling alongside restaurants and cafes. The flourishing creative community offers a warm welcome in the many art and photography galleries.

A walk around the charming cobbled streets is essential, especially to the famous Mermaid Street, where a mix of timber-framed inns and elegant houses rejoice in eccentric names. Many of the beautifully preserved medieval, Tudor and Georgian buildings are open to the public as fine restaurants, tearooms or pubs.

Dine amid 600 years of history at The Mermaid Inn, eat fresh off the boat at Webbe's at The Fish Café (also a cookery school) or make a trip to Tibbs Farm Shop and Café in nearby Udimore, which holds seasonal pick-your-own events.

You're in wine country now, with Tillingham Wines, Charles Palmer Vineyards, Oxney Organic and Gusbourne Estate all within easy reach. And if you'd rather have it all organised for you, travel included, that's exactly what Vine & Country Tours specialise in.
