Not the best food but nice pub and lovely staff

Had the vegan fish and chips and falafel burger, neither were great. Burger was quite dry and the vegan fish was mostly batter which I just left. Don’t like to criticise places which are clearly trying to make an effort but just making people aware. We were also given a real fish and chips first time but mistakes happen.

Pros: There were options, Staff, Location near the beach

Cons: Not great food

Cosy pub with vegan fish and chips

Vegan options available for most items in the menu, including a vegan roast option if dining on a Sunday. Their vegan fish and chips was quite good, the ‘fish’ is made from banana blossom and was cooked well, though not too much flavour, mostly just fried batter. It didn’t taste too much like fish (which is not a bad thing!) but it perhaps could have had a hint more ‘sea’ flavour to it….The pea puree and tartare sauce were wonderful. I also had a warm apple and pear crumble served with vegan ice cream, and that was delicious and wholesome if a bit sweet. Overall a nice cost place for lunch one street away from a nice sandy beach!

Best vegan 'Fish' and chips

We had the vegan fish and chips which was made with banana blossom. We had tried to do whole battered banana blossom thing at home and it was, at best, OK. This, however was great. It looked like a piece of battered fish and with the tartar sauce it felt like just eating fish and chips rather than some slightly desperate effort to make a faux alternative.
Had we wanted something else there was a pleasing range of alternatives. Service was also excellent. Would thoroughly recommend.

Pros: Best 'fish' and chips I've had., Range of vegan options , Excellent service

Lovely welcoming pub with quite a few vegetarian options.
Stuck to the original plan and it was fantastic!

The wine list we were given had wines clearly labelled veggie and vegan 🍷

Amazing vegan fish and chips

A little gem in Camber, amazing to have a veggie option in the land of meat and fish. We had the banana blossom "fish" and chips and was brilliant. Will definitely return.

Pros: Multiple veggie options

Excellent vegan ‘fish’ n’ chips

The vegan fish n’ chips made with banana blossom is excellent. I don’t think there were any other vegan options but it didn’t matter because this dish was delicious. And our expectations for a range of vegan options in Rye/Camber were low.

Visited The Owl on a day trip to Camber at the start of September. Because of the pandemic, the restaurant is bookings only but we arrived at 12 when it opened and they were able to fit us in because it was quiet. Plenty of outdoor seating, though we were the only ones because it was so windy. Felt very comfortable eating here re: physical distancing measures implemented.

Staff very friendly.

Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent food , Outdoor seating

Cons: Limited vegan options
