It came with lots of lovely salad, take-a-way style chips (fries) and a choice of a can of soda. For the price we were expecting the chicken to be chopped and re-formed and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and efficient. The display of prepared and marinated meats looked fresh and well care for. Although the shop looked tired, this is quite in keeping with the many other take-away shops in this area and does not reflect on the quality of the food on offer in this price range. We feel confident to try them again and chose something else from their menu. Parking was easy as there is a large public and free car-park just a few yards away.

Full of charming original features and low ceilings it's nice to get a taste of the past served up with your food. But they're not stuck in a time warp, as there is WiFi too! Hungry after a walk, I chose the All Day Breakfast which offered up two of just about everything you'd expect for only a fiver. Happy wallet too. The staff are very smiley and the service is quick. I'd love to return and try out the cream tea or sandwiches. Definitely one of Rottingdean's finest. I'm resisting the urge to make an exceedingly good Kipling pun...

Coming from the Czech Republic, I'm used to buildings having centuries of history behind them and…read morereally appreciate that. In that respect, Old Cottage got me pretty excited. The building is mostly original inside, and even I have to duck because of how low some ceilings are -- now that's REALLY exciting. I came here with a few friends one day when we decided to explore other towns near Brighton. We stumbled upon Old Cottage and went for the classic tea, scones and clotted cream ordeal to feel fabulously proper. We were without a doubt the youngest people inside, but it was so refreshing to see groups of older women gabbing away for hours instead of the rush-rush dining experience mostly found today. If I'm completely honest, the scones and cream did nothing for me. Keep in mind, I don't really like sweets and absolutely hate anything creamy, so that should be taken with a giant grain of NaCl. The atmosphere is just lovely, and if you feel like transporting yourself to the British 1800's, throw on a massive floppy hat and come to Old Cottage. The tea is quite tasty.

Its out towards Rottingdean, very close to it in fact, so if you want to head out there, say to see Rudyard Kipling's place, and yet not get sucked in to the closeness of old Rottingdean village, this is the place. Good coffee and snacks really goes without saying, but should be said, for the sake of completeness.

Situated in a nice loation in the centre of a picturesque and lovely village, the cafe has something of the charm and flavour of an old Enlish rea shop.

Treated myself to a picture frame, a book and some greetings cards. But if I had been feeling a little less selfish Pebbles would have been a great place to purchase a few early Christmas gifts. The have also started serving tea and coffee at the back of the shop but I didn't have time to stop and partake on this occasion. The lady in the shop was friendly and chatty but not overbearing while I was browsing. Will definitely be back for future shopping expeditions.

It was taken over a few years ago and restyled as a smart delicatessen with a little cafe attached. Despite the cream teas being expensive even by Brighton standards, it's done well since, selling delicatessen wares in the left half and tea and cake in the right. The deli is a good selection of excellent bread, savoury pie and homemade quiche and Spanish omelette, with fairly decent takeaway coffee as well as the drink-in variety (which, perhaps illogically, tastes better despite having come from the same machine. Maybe it has Evil Twin Syndrome?) The deli also stocks Kendricks' coffee for cafétières and filter machines, and a variety of lovely treats from Italy and Spain including fresh pasta. There's a good organic selection which includes things that are made free of certain allergens, with a favourite being the spelt-flour biscuits which despite an unprepossessing appearance are delicious. Altogether the only gripe I have with this place is the prices - Steyning being something of a climbing-middle-class ghetto, the prices have been hiked until they're approaching the ridiculous. It is, however, uniformly delicious, and as close to being worth it as possible.
