More About Bar, Pub, and Restaurant Wedding Venues in East Sussex

Considering a bar, pub, or restaurant wedding venue in East Sussex? Here are some questions couples frequently ask.

Why Choose a Bar or Pub Wedding Venue?

Bar and pub wedding venues tend to be cheaper than hotel venues, and are great if you want a smaller, more relaxed wedding. They have a cosy, intimate feel which encourages guests to mingle and have fun. Of course, they'll also have drinks readily available, meaning you won't have to look elsewhere for a beverage caterer. They may also serve simple but tasty food.

Why Choose a Restaurant Wedding Venue?

Again, restaurant wedding venues are generally more affordable than hotel venues, though this of course depends on the restaurant. Also ideal for smaller weddings, they'll provide a nice reception space and delicious food. A restaurant you really love can make a meaningful choice of wedding venue.

Why Get Married in East Sussex?

East Sussex boasts varied and beautiful scenery that makes a lovely backdrop for weddings. This includes pretty beaches in Hastings and Brighton, boating lakes and white cliffs in Eastbourne, and quaint cobbled streets in Rye. You'll also find plenty of rolling green hills. Additionally, there's lots for you and your guests to do and see. You could take a boat trip to Beachy Head, try wind-surfing at Camber Sands, or browse the unique shops in Little Chelsea.

Certainly! Here’s a warmer and more appreciative version of your wedding venue review: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service – The Perfect Wedding Day We recently had our wedding at this venue, and I can honestly say the team on the day were nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made our day absolutely unforgettable. Every detail was thought of and handled with such ease and confidence that we were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves. The team went above and beyond at every opportunity—not just meeting, but far exceeding our expectations. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their calm, friendly presence made a huge difference throughout the day. So many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and how welcoming and attentive the staff were. It was clear that they truly cared about making our day special, and they absolutely succeeded. We are so incredibly grateful to the whole team for their hard work, warmth, and impeccable service. You helped create memories we will cherish forever. I would not hesitate for a second to book this venue again or recommend it to others. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you Abel, Poppy, Ruby and the whole team.

We celebrated our wedding reception at The Jolly Sportsman on 29th March 2025, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. After our ceremony at Lewes Registry Office, we made our way to this beautiful countryside venue, where the celebrations truly came to life. As we arrived, we were greeted by our guests with a joyful confetti walk—a moment we’ll never forget. The setting was idyllic: nestled in the Sussex countryside, The Jolly Sportsman offered a warm, rustic charm that felt both relaxed and elegant. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding breakfast and evening party. We had around 60 guests, and the space was ideal—intimate enough to feel personal, yet spacious enough to accommodate more. The layout flowed beautifully from the indoor dining area to the garden, where we later enjoyed sparklers under the stars—a magical and fun way to end the evening. The wedding breakfast was absolutely outstanding. The food was fresh, seasonal, and beautifully presented, with every dish reflecting the venue’s commitment to quality and local sourcing. Our guests were full of compliments, and the team catered to all dietary needs with ease and care. A huge and heartfelt thank you to Chrissie and the entire team at The Jolly Sportsman. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine warmth made the planning process a joy. Chrissie was always available to talk through ideas and helped us create a bespoke experience that felt truly “us.” Nothing was too much trouble, and her calm, friendly presence made everything run smoothly on the day. We also want to give a special shoutout to our incredible suppliers, who helped make the day even more memorable: Simon Butler Photography – Simon captured every moment with such artistry and emotion. We’re thrilled with the photos and highly recommend him to any couple looking for timeless, natural wedding photography. Adam Sayer (aka The London Piano Man) – Adam brought the evening to life with his amazing live music. His energy, talent, and ability to read the room kept everyone dancing and singing along well into the night. From start to finish, The Jolly Sportsman delivered a wedding experience that was heartfelt, seamless, and full of joy. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning surroundings, exceptional food, and a team that truly cares, we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you again to Chrissie and everyone at The Jolly Sportsman for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever.

We had our wedding in the summer at The Seahorse, and I can not recommend it highly enough! We had our reception party downstairs with the beautiful view of the sea, a sit down 3 course meal and a party afterwards and it was so perfect! Bex the Events Manager was amazing and everything went exactly to plan, and she was so helpful and accomodating of all our requests. The staff on the day were brilliant, and we had the best day! The Seahorse also kindly gave us dinner on the house when we went back for dinner recently to reminisce! Big thanks to everyone at the Seahorse who helped to make our day run so smoothly.
