Visiting Bishopstone station for Artwave, we thought we would give the sailing club cafe a try. The welcome was warm, the menu varied and the service excellent & friendly. We had fish & chips with lovely crunchy batter & tasty fish, well cooked & non-greasy as were the chips & a fresh salad. A bacon & brie sandwich plus cheesy chips also went down well. We are delighted with this new to us cafe & hope to return when we next visit Seaford. The bonus is the free car park just over the road. The staff also accommodated our specific request with regard to one of our party when ordering who needed a slight adjustment to their meal.

Food is way too over priced. The kitchen was not even serving at 9am and told to wait an hour. The tables were sticky. Coffee was too strong. You have to walk up to the counter yourself. I am shocked that my experience was like this. A few adjustments an I may be back. Staff don’t even acknowledge you

I visited this place in 10/07/2025 just before 7.30pm. I was told which menu they were using then they told me that they were no longer serving food! I asked them what time they stop serving and they said 9pm!!!! I told them it wasn't even 7.30pm but they said they had only served 2 people and therefore closing the kitchen. Just went again about 45 minutes ago, only 2 or 3 people inside and about 3 empty tables outside. I went to the bar and asked them for a menu only to be told it's bookings only... seriously! No sign outside to say that so how are we supposed to know. Definitely won't be going back a 3rd time that's for sure!

Lovely venue overlooking the bay. Walked in to meet my colleagues for a catch up and breakfast. No one inside at the tables. One table occupied outside. I stood at the bar inside and waited for the person behind the bar to acknowledge my presence. Waited still. Waited some more. Nothing! My colleague chose the venue so when the rest of them turn up I will inevitably join them. But I am fuming inside. I need to be here to catch up on some important details regarding work. Otherwise I would of just turned on my heel and walked out. Really disappointed. The venue is lovely the view is great. I'm sure the food will be delicious. But it will leave a bitter taste. Ignorant people are the worst. Unless it was willfully (obtuse). That would be even worse. Don't be out off by my review. It may if been a bad day (we all have them). Just being honest.

The food was decent but let down by service Saturday morning. The waiter doesn't smile or greet people. Tables sticky and full crumbs, they don't take the initiative to wipe without asking. Other young staff members chatting and giggling behind the bar and in the kitchen. Has potential and a great location on the sea front. Edit for the owners reply: Apologies this was actually Saturday 1st of April, not Sunday. Thank you

The food, whether a full meal or just a cake is always good, with excellent portions and excellent value; there's even a great choice of drinks. The atmosphere is unique and all the better for it; it's a great place to stop for refreshments or lunch, whether you sit inside or on the decking or the beach. Our walking group's waitress yesterday was totally brilliant, other places take note, this is how it should be done.

The food was very nice. Surprised of the amount of food / quality for the price. I had the vegetarian breakfast which also come in a vegan option. I think the mushrooms and haloumi could have used some seasoning otherwise everything was good. Service seemed a little disorganised and overwhelmed even with very few customers, but everyone was nice and welcoming. Amazing location, and great atmosphere.

Perfect little spot to get some food whilst walking along Seaford Beach. The wait was a bit long so make sure you're not in a hurry during the weekend. The food was good and the staff was friendly.

Get there early before they run out of the meat and gravy pies. The vegetable quiche was nice but undercooked. Would recommend the salad as this was very fresh and tasty. Sedate service so be prepared to wait or go elsewhere if you don't have time.
