"I haven’t written a Tripadvisor review for quite sometime and I thought long and hard before writing this one. We have passed this place quite a lot of times but as we have a favourite tea room/cafe which we like to support we had never called in. We popped in for a cheese scone and a cup of tea last week and sat outside in what is effectively a car park. As soon as the scone arrived we knew it was bad news. If something doesn’t look like a scone, doesn’t have the consistency of a scone and doesn’t taste like a scone then it’s not a scone. I’m not quite sure what we had, I think it was a brioche bun with a bit of cheese on top. It was faintly sweet and quite horrible. When I queried it the waitress simply said ‘what is a scone then? My wife’s tea was very weak, the loose tea leaves having been enclosed in a metal wire sphere which was left in the pot. The only flavour was of metal, the tea flavour can’t escape from the metal cage!! To add insult to injury to ‘scones’ were priced at £4.50 each so two teas and two scones was £14, I felt completely ripped off. £4.50 for a scone is a London west end price. Mark Cross garden centre £2.50, Whites nursery Five ashes, £3 and so on. How on earth can you justify £4.50 for a ‘scone? They had better be careful, Stavertons garden centre is about to open a new cafe and its only a few minutes from Ringmer, I know where I’ll be going in future."

Reopened now but sadly their cooking oil is simply nit hot enough. Soggy chips and fish running in oil as a result. Please cook things at the right temperature then we will return.

Not sure what’s happened to this great little cafe to be honest used to be a excellent little place.food has gone down hill I think it must be a new cook or ingredients or something not sure. Was a rude girl making the coffee and rude lad throwing drinks on the table not really caring and one great waitress that was trying her best and working very hard to cover the other two not doing much by the till.

This was a hidden gem which if it weren’t for the sign would never know was there. Tucked away the cafe offered everything one could want for a brunch on the way to the coast. Great friendly service really good coffee was a great start the food to follow was very nicely cooked with poached eggs oozing a fabulous hollandaise sauce making the Eggs Benedict sing. The fact that you can mix match to create your own personal favourite breakfast meant that everyone was happy with the meal.

Went here for the second time today, previous was fair but I stuck to the main menu for breakfast. On this I assign I asked to swap some of the ingredients so for example instead of chips on the breakfast asked for hash browns, instead of the burger that comes with the big daddy I asked to swap for a sausage and asked for extra black pudding. Original price of breakfast as it comes was around £10 however with the small swaps and extra black pudding at £1.80 I was charged £17.90 including my coffee. Was advised you get one swap and then charge £1.80 on any other swap. Pretty pricey if you ask me, 45 minute wait while others came and went, eggs where drinkable, beans had dried out with skin on...
