Visited today, wonderful location, but the scones are dry and no better than the mass produced ones…read morefound in any supermarket. I asked for some jam to make the dry scone more palatable, which was given, but there was no offer of a replacement for the scone or an apology for it's poor quality.

This is fast becoming one of my favourite tearooms, especially on a nice sunny day when one can sit…read moreoutside in the pretty courtyard garden, although on a chilly day the tearoom is very cosy. It is quite well hidden on the edge of Friston Forest and the Seven Sisters Country Park. The Farmhouse offers a variety of food from toast and crumpets to baguettes and welsh rarebit - and they always have an all-too-tempting array of homemade cakes on display. On Saturday I opted for the bacon and parsley hotcakes with salad, which were delicious. The only thing that rather spoilt the lunch was the ghastly mayonnaise that they served! Not sure what brand it is, or whether they make it themselves - but a spoon of Hellmanns would have been much, much better! If you sit in the courtyard, be prepared to make a fuss of the very friendly black and white cat who will come and purr beside your chair. Oh, and you may also have to contend with a few sparrows who will try and nick the leftover jam from your plate! However, I recommend that you pay with cash. Credit and debit cards are both accepted but you have to pay an additional £1, even for using a debit card!!

We arrived at the place way before dinner service has started and just enjoyed our "Apéros" (ok, it…read morewas Gin and beers) in the yard of that lovely place in that lovely town of "Ooolfrinston" (did I pronounce that right?). We then enjoyed dinner inside, and it was delightfully fresh and seasonal. It's not the cheapest place to eat though so bring the large wallet. Met the head chef on the way out who was just as nice as the service personnel who did an outstanding job that night. Will be back someday for sure.

Service is excellent and friendly, every need catered to if possible. Food is delicious fresh and seasonal, locally sourced and well balanced. Wine list very good. The rooms are beautiful, beds so comfortable and competitive in price. By far the nicest place to stay in Alfriston. Nick the owner is a brilliant host, warm and helpful.

I would challenge anyone to find somewhere more quintessentially English than Badgers Tea rooms!…read more The building itself is over 500 years old and has an rich history, mainly as the village bakery but also as a meeting place for "dissenters" from the local church in the late 18th century. The have a main room, a parlour and a delightful garden tucked away at the back. Walkers are invited to remove their muddy boots, children and dogs are welcomed as long as they behave, and smoking is prohibited even in the garden - yes there are rules, but this make for a pleasant experience for all. Tea is served in tin teapots, with bone china cups and saucers, every detail perfected even down to the delicately decorated teaspoons. Coffee is also available along with a wide range of home baked cakes, afternoon tea and fresh scones (the cheese and pecan scones are divine!) A full range of sandwiches, ploughman's lunches and homemade soups are also available for those with a larger appetite, as well as a hearty breakfast menu if you arrive before 12. I would recommend a visit to the village of Alfriston to anybody, it is a picturesque and quaint gem tucked away in the Sussex countryside. Take a walk on the Downs, visit the local pubs, but make sure you save time for a pot of tea and a cheese scone at Badger's!

Cripes. Over-priced tourist tripe just about sums up Badgers…read more Hardly a "must do" per other reviewers. If you're up for a proper cream tea, don't be fooled by the whimsical musings painted on the walls and look elsewhere. Was hoping for cream tea glory but got scones that tasted like they were out of a packet, not made 'fresh', and some so so sandwiches. Tea was fine, but that's hard to mess up. £££ - mighty expensive.

This is a fantastic place comprising of a very impressive restaurant, a British wine distribution…read moreand tasting center and an excellent venue for weddings. I had the pleasure of attending a wedding there and it was such a beautiful setting. The food was out of this world and the wine was surprisingly good. I know British wine hasn't got a very good reputation but the sparkling white was, in my opinion, better than a lot of expensive Champagnes I've tried. Really friendly staff made the atmosphere even better and it was a real a day to remember!

The owners of the centre are absolutley love. They also have a beautiful self catering cottage for hire. The centre is located between Brighton and Eastbourne on the A27 and is located close to the beautiful village of Alfriston, the very child friendly Drusillas Park and Middle Farm - home to the national collection of cider.

Then book a table here (and a room afterwards if you really want to push the boat out). It's a beautiful looking building and the interior is as impressive. The service is in no way snobby or snooty but this is a double rosette restaurant so its top quality. The menu is set at around £40 for three courses including coffee and petit fours which isn't too much of a shock but when you add on wine and service its not cheap. Try the Terrine of Sussex Pheasant to start and if you love your game, the game pie here is exquisite.
