About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
Thai Terre is located opposite the village green in the picturesque South Downs village of East Dean, close to Birling Gap and three miles west of Eastbourne. At first a Thai restaurant may seem out of keeping with the flint-walled cottages and the well-kept traditional English village common, but this pairing reflects the driving principle of Thai Terre – to take the best the South Downs can provide and add an exotic twist to create something really special.

    The menu online is different to the menu at the restaurant (needs updating). I was disappointed as I had been looking forward to the mains that I saw online but they told me in the restaurant that they don't do it anymore. My beef green curry was not as hot as it should be, lacking in chilli and the beef was quite tough. Looks like the chef is serving for the western palate then authentic Thai food. Thai terre has changed owners by the looks of it,unfortunately I won't be going back.

    Authentic Thai food, lovely staff, quiet family type restaurant overlooking the green in the historic village of East Dean. It's my local Thai restaurant and each time I eat here I'm transported back to the wonderful times I've spent in Thailand. If you're looking for great food, attentive staff and a lovely setting, look no further.

    Not as good as previous visits. Food was completely different and seemed reheated and dry. Is Sunday the normal chefs day off?
