A lovely and quiet little eatery in the heart of Steyning. Well worth a look especially when the crayfish sandwiches are freshly made....go !

We visited for the first time today and had the full breakfast which included tea/coffee. The two ladies working were really lovely and the food was locally sourced . The sausage was excellent and piping hot (bonus as its a pet peeve to get warm food). You can buy local products including jams chutneys and cheeses. Very quant and they also do three evenings openings with a 2 or 3 course french menu. Breakfast was £9.95 and I took a piece of cherry malibu cake home.

The food was exceptional!! this is a wonderful little gem of a place. The host was so friendly and helpful, even with our limited French.. It was just like being in france! The escargot - delicious, the wine fantastic.. They even got our favourite cheese in! All set in the quaint village of Steyning. Just perfect, can't wait to go back. And we live an hr away!! 10/10

Nice food, lovely staff, well worth a visit if in Steyning, not as busy and rushed as other cafes in the area on the day of visit, all good.

Perfect with some added drops of kindness!
We ate there this evening. I wanted to write a review straight away as we were so impressed. To start, the owners are just wonderful, Sarah is kind and attentive she gives time to you, making sure you know about each dish and their wine variety. The food is divine and so perfectly cooked. They gave us dessert to take home as an extra. Thank you so much.We will be taking the rest of our family next time. :)
Sorry no photos taken as we were enjoying the expereicne so much!

A little after lunch period on a quiet Friday I found myself tempted by the display of salads & meets, the lady manager explained that they normally close at two & this was 20 past ish but kindly made us both up two very tasty baguettes for us to take away,
we had previously purchased two bottles & she kindly lent us a bottle opener which we promised to return later on the same day, perhaps through the letterbox , I sort of forgot the little friendly village shop of my youth & how it all works, great experience will return one Saturday evening , jk.
Ps...
As promised a year later I returned to the little village bistro for an evening meal with a lady,
well spaced out table for two by the window excellent small menu perfect,
great atmosphere superb food / no rush table for the night,
just about managed to share a desert,
great experience ...Kenny xoxo.

Absolutely quality tackle, one of the best burgers I’ve tasted in yonks, proper Chinsman gear, the sauce on the burger tasted like it was squeezed from the breast of a Greek goddess. would recommend to any Punter within the Leeds vicinity, I challenge anyone to get a better burger n chips for a 5 sheet, will deffo return.

Lovely experience. Personal attention delicious food, cafe bistro style. Sarah clearly cares deeply about her lovely small business, her staff, her food and her customers. We'll be back.

Always have a great experience at Chez Joel. The cuisine is of a high standard because you're not swamped with excessive choices. Menu choices of a moderate size but that guarantees each dish to be cooked especially for the patron. Something for everyone. If you want a small, intimate restaurant with personal attention, Chez Joel is for you.
