Café · Bexhill-on-Sea
Sunday afternoons here can feel more like a party than a café — live music under cover outside, sometimes a two-piece band, occasionally 50s rock and people dancing — so it's a place for lively kids rather than a quiet cuppa. Breakfast is what people rave about: the Hillbilly Special (there's a veggie version), pancakes, the American breakfast, and for lunch the mac n cheese, hunters chicken and potato skins come up again and again, with milkshakes to match. Food generally arrives quickly. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan and gluten-free options, and plenty of shaded outdoor seating with room to spread out. Parking is free but limited when it's busy. Portions divide opinion — a few felt the breakfast was small for the price — and one family found the staff brought out cake and sang for a birthday unprompted.
