359 Bistro Bar in Arun

I went for dinner with my sisters as a Christmas trwat to eachother. The service was brilliant as was the food. The range of vegetarian dishes were fantastic and what I really liked was the range of dishes that could also be gluten free and vegan! We shared some starters, the calamari was perfectly cooked (not greasy), the waitbait was large in size and the halloumi wasn't squeaky. I had the Hungarian mushroom stew which was absolutely delicious. My sisters had the beef burger and confit duck leg which they said was really good too. For pudding, we shared the cottage cheese doughnuts (we were intrigued, and they were honestly fantastic). I would also highly recommend the Hungarian white wine. We will definitely be returning!

Always first class cooking and service. Limited capacity so booking advisable. High quality cuisine for reasonable price

Firebird is a lovely place for both good food and friendly staff . We weren’t rushed and had a great chat with the owner. Food was cooked to order and very tasty. Also plenty of it .

Sea side cafe open all year with guests prepared to sit out at tables by the sea all year long, even though there is heated covered seating outdoors (but not sea view) and indoors. Which speaks to its popularity with locals attracted by its high quality food at fair prices. Really busy in summer but still busy in winter unless it’s really wet and blowy. As an area resident I go all year, and am happy to do so.

People seemed nice and it was good we could take our dog in. I ordered fillet of fish on its own as I have a gastric bypass but the fish and batter was so soggy, I was worried it had been warmed in the microwave so only had one mouthful as I was afraid I was going to be ill. The hot chocolate were nice but not enough for us to come back, sorry
