Another wonderful lunch today. As always, the veg was fresh and plentiful. Both the chicken and steak pies were packed full of filling. I followed this with an extremely moist lemon drizzle cake (and a taste of cheese cake). Both of which were delicious.
We held my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary here and Stephen was very helpful with all the arrangements leading up to the day, he wanted everything to run smoothly and to create a relaxed atmosphere. The day went very well with my parents really enjoying the afternoon. Stephen checked that everything was as we wanted it and his staff were very helpful. The pies seemed to be the favourite food of the guests. I would definitely recommend the venue.
A lovely and welcoming cafe, with just about everything I like. I had hot roast beef in a baguette which was perfectly cooked and juicy. My wife and I sat in the conservatory, which overlooked a beautiful garden and a lovely view across Fairlight and down towards the sea. My wife’s carrot cake was moist and delicious. The host was friendly and helpful. He gave us some absolutely spot on directions and walking advice. Couldn’t be happier.
First visit with the new owner Paul. Great breakfast and a very friendly welcome. We'll worth the visit.
Weve been a few times and are getting to know the Owner Steve. He is so accommodating. On a previous visit I said my husband and I like Baileys, so he bought some in, when he knew we were coming in.
The Vegan cakes are amazing. Moist, not too sweet or sickly. All 4 of us loved them.
The Christmas Dinner we had was gorgeous and the Turkey was moist and juicy. Probably the best I've ever had.
The light Christmas Pud was so lovely we bought 4 portions home.
Also loved the mulled wine.
Coastguards will be our regular for sure.
Going to try the breakfasts this week.
Bravo to Steve and the team.
This is a lovely little gem of a cafe, just tucked away from the main carpark. You can watch the birds while dining and taking in the view.
Such a warm welcome by the owner on a Sunday afternoon, after a trip to the beach, when we just fancied a piece of scrummy cake and cup of tea before our journey home. Very happy we stopped in and will definitely be back another time. The view is out of this world! Such a surprise, what a beautiful place to visit.
Lovely tearoom to have afternoon tea after a walk round the country park. Home baked cakes and scones. Many beautifully arranged paintings and craft items available to purchase.
Changed hands since previous visit in 2019. Opened again in October 2021.
New fresh feel to the place. Excellent very friendly service. Delicious cakes to choose from. We were seated overlooking garden, country park and sea. Very relaxing visit.
Nice place. Great menu. Attentive staff. I had an omelette which was cooked well. Will go back again. Reasonable prices too.
We had our Mum’s wake here and Steve and his staff helped to make it a very special and personal experience. They were incredibly helpful and put on an amazing cream tea for everyone.
The location is perfect with stunning views over the country park. It is truly a hidden gem that is worth checking out.
Great service. Ideal place to go for a small break if you work in the community. Internet access available if needed. Well done Steve. Definitely coming back again.
Found this place on the walk from Hastings to Rye. So glad we did. Food was delicious and very good value, and the people there were super friendly. We were able to sit at the back next to the open windows on a boiling hot day, and it was perfect.
Good view, good service, good coffee and very good food. Well worth a visit.
Fabulous place. Food was really tasty, host was charming and location is beautiful 🤩. Our dog was well looked after as well 👍
Friendly tearoom offering a tasty Vegan option with vegan mayo which which is a very welcome touch. The carrot cake was delicious 😋
UPDATE 26/01/20 - Vegan main meal option not always available. Maybe a good idea too check availability, before a long walk there. 👍🏻
This tearoom serves freshly prepared food and delicious cakes.
We ordered a range of light lunches; the ploughman's came with a very generous selection of 3 cheeses, but the crumb ends of a packet of crisps which was disappointing, the egg mayo baguette was perfectly adequate, the toasted tomato and mozzarella panini was good, but the mushroom quiche was mostly egg with just a few mushrooms sprinkled over the top.
It was disappointing to see sauce sachets, and of a dubious brand.. Partly because of the awful single use plastics, partly because it's so often a bad sign when cafés don't feel it's worth providing a quality ketchup and mayo.
We then ordered some cakes, and these were all good without exception!
4 stars for freshness and nearly very good, but for me would need to get rid of sauce sachets, ends of crisp packets, and take a little more care in sourcing tomatoes and salad ingredients with actual flavour to get top marks!
Absolute gem of a place.
Will defo be returning. Everything was fantastic. Dog friendly, wheelchair access and parking. Thankyou we really enjoyed our visit.
Lovely home cooked food, very welcoming although service can be a bit inconsistent at times. Dog friendly inside and out, with treats for the doggy customers 🙂🐕. Only about 100m along the path past the Grey Owl stone plaque, and a much nicer feel to it than the council run Bale house by the car park.
1st time visit , and will definitely be back. Wonderful place in great location. Homemade food was great.
