My first fish and chips in the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was delicious. To be fair, I'm going to guess…read morethat the fish and chips throughout the rest of the country don't charge what the Bridge Inn charges. Though the 11-12GBP was totally worth it. The tatar sauce was to die for - I have no idea what was in that stuff, but it was amazing. The fish didn't have too much breading on it, which I like. Plus it stayed crunchy up until the end (though I did split it, so about half the normal eating time). The chips were just fine, nothing special, and the mashed peas were lacking in flavor - I was hoping for a little more mint. We also had the crab cake - which was more like a potato pancake. I'm not sure I tasted any crab in it at all. But there were all kinds of veggies in there, and the breading was good on that as well. It tasted good - just didn't taste like crab. The hummus was delicious - the bread hot, and lots of flavor in the hummus. The staff was super friendly and sat us right away. It does get busy on a Saturday night, so be sure to get there a bit earlier (we arrived around 6:30) to get a seat. The wine selection is pretty good and reasonably priced. I did not drink beer, but they had a few craft beer options that I saw. Overall great place to spend some money on some delicious food with a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Great little cafe with an equally great name. This isn't by any way a 'greasy spoon' place…read more Everything is locally sourced and not deep fried in lard. The bacon and eggs come from Sussex and the smoked salmon for the bagels is smoked in near-by Henfield. The cafe is actually licensed (always a huge bonus in my book) so if you fancy a bit of a boozy lunch or a hang-over curing brunch, this place is ideal. They also hire the venue out for parties. It only holds 50 people in total (upstairs and downstairs) but I think that's a perfect number of people.

Where else would you get that right in front of the sea!!!! The food, they have cake, traditional fish and chips and pizza. I can only comment on the fish and chips(and cake) and have nothing negative to say about them. Service is prompt. Be aware though it is popular and can be very busy so if I'm doubt book a table and do your best to arrive on time. There is limited seating outside facing the sea. This is a nice back drop for a meeting, weather dependant!! I visit the perch when I'm in the area and can and do recommend it.

Both really enjoyed it. I had an afternoon tea - sandwiches, a choice of scrumptious cake and scone with clotted cream & jam.

A real gem in a lovely quaint British town

We stopped off in Steyning on the way home the other day. I'd never been before, its one of those…read morehistoric market towns that takes quite lot of pride in its not particularly remarkable heritage. Still, it has some cute old buildings, and, as it turns out, a bloody fine tea shop. The Steyning Tea Rooms certainly look the part, with a very Cath Kidson-esque aesthetic. As well as being a tea room, there are also a few gifty bits on sale, like embroidered Matryoshka door stops, bird shaped pegs, and so on. What really makes it great though is the food. The menu is extensive, and reasonably priced. They obviously do a great selection of cakes and drinks, but with some more interesting additions than just the norm, for example, you can have a cream soda or a coke float to drink. We shared a tuna, cheese and sunblushed tomato melt, a rhubarb scone with cream and rhubarb jam, some Sicilian lemonade and a raspberry lemonade. The lemonade was wonderfully strong and traditional tasting, the melt was heavily loaded with the tasty toppings, and the rhubarb scone was the best of the lot, with lots of pieces of real rhubarb baked in, and a tangy jam to offset the cream and scone's sweetness. Those items together came to about £13. We were served by a not exactly effusive, but not unpleasant lady with long dreads, more what you would expect from a café in Brighton than this quaint Steyning tea room. Altogether it was a ruddy jolly show.

The Big Beach Cafe based at Hove Lagoon is part-owned by local resident Norman Cook aka Fat Boy…read moreSlim. He set it up, not as a money making exercise, but to provide the local residents with a great place to grab a coffee and something to eat in what is actually a pretty under serviced area. It's a great spot, a stone's throw from the sea, and next to Hove Lagoon with all it's watersports facilities, and the play park. This ensures a huge customer base, particularly on a warm and sunny day. As well as the great location, it's actually a pretty decent place, with plenty of seating plus space for the smalls to run around, a small play area which is useful but does need updating with some newer toys, a bar area, and toilets with a baby change area. There is also a really large outdoor seating area, again perfect if you are there with the kids. The menu is pretty extensive for a cafe with breakfasts, light lunches, seasonal specials, fresh bakes and a selection of yummy looking cakes. Gluten free and vegan options are also available. The children's menu is pretty good too, with a good hot selection as well as the usual packed lunches. Ice creams are also available and there is even a fully licenced bar! This is a great place to come for a bite to eat when you are in the area. Kids and dogs are totally welcome, staff are friendly but it can get a little busy at peak times to be prepared to wait to place your order at the counter.

Carat's Cafe occupies a solitary position down on Southwick beach in Portslade. The surroundings…read moreare industrial and uninspiring, but the cafe does look out over the beach and if you have a bit of tunnel vision it's okay. Annoyingly, since last month the council have decided to charge diners to park in the adjoining car park - it seems anywhere there's a whiff of a commercial outlet there they are, ratching up the taxes on parking. I do wonder sometimes why shops and restaurants let them get away with it, it must damage trade quite a lot. Anyway, given that you've got change for the parking and can afford the extra tax on your meal, inside the cafe you'll find it's quite plain - the decor is unimaginative but it's clean and the service is friendly. This is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch, with good old English breakfasts for veggies and meat eaters, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and so on. We had two large veggie breakfasts, complete with coffee and tea, for £14.00. The food was very good, and the portions generous (1 egg, veggie sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, slice of toast or fried bread, plus sauteed potatoes). A classy, romantic place for dinner it is not, but if you're looking for a clean café that does all-day breakfasts, you're in business. And the staff are very helpful and friendly. In fact, I left my handbag on the seat by mistake, and they very kindly kept it safe for me until I went back. Now that's honesty! The cafe is wheelchair friendly, on the ground floor. The adjoining toilet block is cleaned by Wettons on behalf of the local authority. It wasn't very clean and the soap dispenser was empty! But it was free to use, and situated on the ground floor so I think could be okay for disabled users. This is also a good place for dog owners. There is a seating area outside, and I spotted a large metal doggie bowl filled with clean water while I was there, so your beloved pooch will be able to have a fresh drink and feel welcome. Two tiny criticisms (which I feel almost guilty about after the staff's kindness with my bag, but I will anyway!): sometimes they clean the cafe with strong-smelling bleach while diners are still in there. This does nothing for the dining experience! In fairness they didn't last time and might have stopped doing it these days, but watch out if you're a straggler around mid-afternoon when they're cleaning, just in case! The other tiny whinge is: last time they had a notice saying that customers are not allowed in the seating area at the back of the cafe because it is closed. It would be far more polite simply to say "This section is closed - sorry". Overall though, a good place for breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price.

It does so well because the food is top notch as far as greasy spoons go and with on site, easy parking many people go here before a round of golf or before other activities. The service is always efficient and you are never left waiting long.

When my panini did arrive, it was slightly lackluster, with not very much filling, mostly bread! Staff were super friendly and apologetic, but in the future, I'd stick to the drinks!
