Situated in Eastbourne's charming Little Chelsea, Skylark is a much loved independent café-restaurant with a commitment to fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced Sussex produce. Skylark is passionately run by local couple Daisy and Dylan, who took over in summer 2025. Skylark offers a warm and friendly dining experience, serving classic brunch dishes and seasonal lunch options from Wednesday to Sunday, with a cosy dinner service on Friday and Saturday evenings. Skylark gives way to a cosy setting with a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy small and large plates over candlelight, alongside elegant wines, crafted cocktails and local beer. The menus change with the seasons, using the highest quality ingredients from local butchers, fishmongers, and growers. Skylark is a small, but very passionate, team of people, making use of the wonderful produce nearby.

In showing this building some love, local businesswoman Shoes Simes has said that she hopes to help make her pub more food-led and family-friendly. In doing so she hopes to turn this local building of historical importance into an establishment for local families and friends to enjoy together. It all started 13 years ago when she first saw the building and she knew straight away that this was the pub for her and finally her dreams have come true, with a full refurbishment, this pub is now ready to be revealed to Eastbourne in all its glory. Once functioning as an old Moot Court, eventually turning into a restaurant in the 1970s, before it boomed as a pub trading as The Rainbow. It eventually changed to The Counting House and saw a new lease of life as the garden grew to be a popular haunt of all in old town. Returning with a change of name to the older style of The Rainbow, and with it a focus on food again. For outdoor reservations, please contact the restaurant directly.

• Italian • Alfriston
Booked 12 times today
My Italian grandparents came from Abruzzo to England in 1946, just after the war. As you can imagine, it was not very popular being Italian at that time however, they settled eventually in Polegate near Eastbourne and just over the hill from Poco in Alfriston.I used to leave school everyday at 3pm and walk to my Nonna's house and stay there until my Mum finished work. My Nonna never spoke English all the 38 years she lived in Polegate but she had her Ragu going on the stove all that time. The left overs would go back in and the sugo was the same stock for at least 20 years. As a little boy I would not be allowed to eat the Tiramisu but Nonna would let me lick the bowl of mascarpone. She taught me to cook from the age of 6. I remember she gave me, what I thought at the time was a machete (normal kithcen knife) to cut tomatoes. She had her own little veg garden and showed me the importance of cooking dishes seasonally to reflect what was growing at the time.
