Cafés · Lewes
Weekends get busy — worth booking if you're bringing the whole family — but the staff have a knack for looking after people who need a bit of extra care, hunting out cushions for an elderly relative or waiting patiently while small people change their minds. The menu is long enough to suit fussy eaters, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor tables and free parking. Cake portions are generous and fairly priced, the cheese scones have a following, and the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on sourdough is what people come back for. The bread is fresh enough that families end up buying a loaf on the way out, and there are cards and gifts to browse while you wait. Dogs are welcome too. As one parent puts it, it's "busy for a reason".
