“Lovely spot for a cuppa after a walk in Hastings Reserve. We had a large pot of tea for two, which was topped up when halfway through. Cheese scones with cheese and pickle – delicious. My dog was also treated to some dog biscuits and a nice hot sausage. Well worth the visit.”
“We had amazing food here with excellent friendly service. Plus the views out onto Fairlght and the sea are just stunning. Definitely a favourite on this part of the coast .”
“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.”
