Our Philosophy
At Webbe's, we believe in celebrating the best of Sussex by the season. Each of our restaurants is unique in design and the type of experience it offers, with pricing and menus that change throughout the year with the seasons, so you can enjoy trying every one. Our philosophy is built around serving fresh, locally sourced ingredients, carefully crafted into delicious dishes that showcase the best of Sussex's produce.
Our History
Chef Owner Paul Webbe and his wife Rebecca established The Wild Mushroom in 1998, inspired by their love of foraging. Over the years, their collection of successful, individually stylish restaurants and Cookery School grew entirely from their passion for the wonderful, wild, and natural ingredients on their doorstep in Rye Bay and Westfield areas and Hastings Old Town. In 2004, they opened Webbe's at the Fish Cafe in Rye, a family-friendly restaurant offering the freshest local fish with an open plan kitchen. In 2009, they added Webbe's Rock-a-Nore to their family, situated opposite the net huts and small boats of the Hastings fishing fleet. In 2010, Webbe's Cookery School was launched, offering a unique "hands-on" experience where customers can learn a variety of cooking techniques under Paul Webbe's careful supervision and gentle tuition.
