Been a couple of times and if we were more local, would frequent more often (a good 1 ½ hour drive for us) as the whole site of the café’; camping and the river trips are excellent!

Very pleasant & helpful staff, engaging in conversation ensuing your meal / drinks are ok – nothing is too much trouble for the staff to accommodate dietary requests

Good quality food and good value, excellent coffee

Have been back again since, taking our daughter who also thought it was excellent and is now looking to go back herself with her partner

A gem of a place and a great day out for all ages!

We found this wonderful spot a few years ago, we hired kayaks and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. We have since bought a tent for the sole purpose of staying over to enjoy more! This is our third year camping and despite the rain, it was as magical as ever, kicked off with a fabulous lunch followed by two delicious breakfasts - glamping!!

Just visited while waiting for our boat trip to Bodiam castle. Was delighted to find a variety of drinks not just the usual teas and coffees. I had a strawberry and banana smoothie which was able to be adapted to my dietary needs (changing apple to orange juice) as they are made fresh to order. Husband had a beetroot and fruit smoothie which he enjoyed too. Food menu looked good and they have gluten free/plain options such as plain chicken to avoid allergens. Only improvement would be that the tables felt quite sticky and not the cleanest, with loads of flies buzzing around (although they are everywhere at the moment to be honest so might not be able to be helped!). Would come back to sample the food another time.

Thank you for your writing a review, pleased to hear you enjoyed the fresh smoothies! The table varnish reacted with our cleaning product and has made them a bit sticky (while trying to keep them clean!!), we are trying to work out a way of fixing the tops without having to getting rid of the colour games hand painted on them!

We hope on your next visit you get chance to sample all our amazing food!

Our experience this time round, knocked the socks off the first time! We arrived to a cracking table in the sunshine with fantastic live music. The atmosphere is very special - chilled out, warm and friendly. Perfect place to head with a family of little ones! The food certainly didn't disappoint either. We went for the BBQ meal which was a plateful of tastiness. Spicy king prawns, halloumi, padron peppers and a generous helping of interesting salads. We all thought it was delicious and there were empty plates all round to prove it. Thanks so much for the opportunity to visit again - we'll definitely be back!

Apart from slow service you will find it hard to fault this eatery tucked away on the Kent Sussex border. Good sized portions from a varied menu in idyllic surroundings.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Glad to hear you like our menu and our beautiful setting, sorry to hear you thought the service was slow. August is our busiest time and our kitchen is very small and sometimes this means a short delay in food. I hope this hasn't put you off and we see you another time.
