Moonrakers Restaurant

Possibly one of the worst names for a restaurant I’ve ever heard of but it has had this name for a long long time. It has nothing to do with Roger Moore running away from Jaws in a space suit but comes from when the smugglers used to rake the shore by moonlight looking for their booty!
This is high quality dining so if you’re after budget pub grub then look elsewhere. The menu is organised so well with stunning dishes that have been prepared with a lot of passion.
Try the Crab bisque to start and the Pan seared Sea Bream if still on the menu when you go.

Moonrakers Restaurant
High St Alfriston Polegate East Sussex BN26 5TD
The restaurant, which has been beautifully re-​designed, is situated in the High Street in Alfriston, backing directly onto the famous Tye with views across to St Andrews known as the Cathedral of the South Downs and the Clergy House (the first ever National Trust property) You can even eat on the terrace overlooking this quintessential Sussex view.
Newly appointed Head chef Robert Harris who trained at Gordon Ramsay’s famous Maze Restaurant in Mayfair under the Michelin starred Jason Atherton, has created a menu entirely sourced from a 25 mile radius of the restaurant, using local suppliers such as Richard Brown the Frog Firle lamb farmer, Bradford farm for beef, Alfriston’s own vegetable farm for other produce and bread from a small bakery in Firle — this little gem is highly recommended.
