Cafe On The Beach in Rother - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really lovely location on the beach. Abit difficult to find. You go threw a tunnel to get to the stoney beach. Lovely young lady was very pleasant. Lovely views. Food was nice and coffee. Good service.

I don't think you can have too much of a good thing. Whenever we are anywhere near Glyne Gap Beach we always go to the Cafe On The Beach for lunch. It's always friendly and efficient service. The portion sizes are more than ample and it is extremely good value for money.

Situated at the rear of Glyne Gap Beach, the Cafe on the Beach is just the place to drop into whether you only want a drink or if you want food as well. There's a good choice of snacks on the menu and the staff are always friendly and helpful. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outside, and the establishment is also dog friendly.

Whenever we are having a walk on the Bulverhythe Coastal Link we always call in here for either a drink and/or a snack. The staff are always very friendly and the coffee is always good. There's a good choice on the menu and they do everything they can to ensure that my wife, who is Gluten Free, is able to have something to eat. An added bonus is that the establishment is dog friendly.

This cafe was a very welcome place to stumble upon when walking between Hastings and Bexhill. Not just because it offers a range of snacks, lunches and ice creams but because the view over the beach is outstanding, only spoiled by the metal railings. The tired furniture is more that off-set by the attractive artwork on the walls, available to purchase at less than excessive prices.

At the rear of Glyne Gap Beach, this family-run establishment is a great place for food and drinks. I had a mixture of cheese and ham ploughmans and it was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable; good value for money. An added bonus is that it is dog friendly.

Popped in for a full English breakfast with the doggy. Great food, good quality ingredients and very welcoming friendly staff! Could not fault the food or the cafe. Took the pic half way through as couldn’t wait to tuck in!

Yummy snacks & lovely staff , good place to stop & relax 😀, nice for families and very dog friendly

Great breakfast, shame about the Covid arrangements. The staff were very fussy about the Covid Precautions although there was not a clear process in place which caused a little confusion for me and several other customers On saying that the view from the cafe is lovely and the breakfast was great

The shake king, gifted me the most legendary shake of my life. The pate was extraordinary and the fries were sent by God himself( or Gary as everyone else calls him) In all honesty, it truly was fantastic and the service was exceptional

loved the bacon sandwich. Just the job on a lovely day by the beach. Only problem was people walking their dogs allowing them to squat in just up from the pathway. Best to eat in side then you don't see it!! Great location and super service. HOT coffee. Will defo go back

Lovely friendly people and lovely fresh tasty food, not just the run of the mill generic fare, worth a visit.

Perfect place on beach for a snack or good lunch. Good for adults and children alike. Trendy salads along with smoothies plus children friendly food. Right on beach

New Management as at 8th August 2019. Been in there a few times now - good food and friendly service, always pop in when finished shopping at Glyne Gap for some cake or a breakfast. New name is Oceanside Cafe

A comment was made about my son as soon as we stepped in the door which was rude and not appreciated... Tea was nice though and polite when we were leaving so 1 star but would not recommend.

I was walking from Hastings to bexhill with my family, 4 adults and 5 children ages 11-3 our destination was this little cafe on the beach! Ice creams and drinks and a spot of lunch was planned! My eldest rode ahead he’s 11 year she’s old! It was 25 degrees so when he reached our destination he was understandably gasping for a drink! He asked the lady in the cafe for a glass of tap water while he waited the lady behind the counter refused our 11 year old son a glass of tap water! We had bottles on us but he had reached the cafe a good 5-10mins before us! When we arrived he let us know what had been said when we asked the lady she became rude telling my husband we sell water we don’t give it away! Now I might be wrong but I’m sure you aren’t allowed to ‘sell’ tap water! If my son was alone and travelling to meet friends he would have been exhausted and dehydrated! I think it is absolutely disgusting that you feel it okay to refuse a child a drink of tap water!! You lost yourself a lot of business that day! And shamed yourself in front of a cafe full of customers! Customer or not when a child asks for a glass of water you would think humanity would have kicked in not your concerns of making money! Shame on you!!!!!!!

I pulled off the National Cycle Route 2, in 30*C heat, hoping for a coke, some cake and to refill my empty water bottles. I was on my third day riding from Bristol to Kent.Having propped up my bike, picked up my water bottles, and before I’d even turned around, let alone spoken a word, I could hear the proprietress shouting through the door, “Ow no! Ow no! I’m not filling those”. She tried to maintain that she pays her water rates and why should she give away water for free. I could by her single use, plastic-bottled water, but she wouldn’t even accept money to fill my water bottles, even when I tried to order additional paid for items.I found her to be rude, unwelcoming and assume she puts profit over environmental good practice.

Very convenient beach cafe at the back of M&S. it has a good menu and gets very busy on summer days. Lots of dog owners meet there for a cuppa and sandwich.

The food is classic British café cuisine, and in a great spot right on the beach. It's next to a great cycling/walking path and 30 seconds down to the shore.

A lovely little plain cafe on the beach. Immaculately clean, another must when we visit the area. After a walk along the coastal path or on the beach, a path certainly links bexhill and St Leonard’s, and goes on I think. So a very good place to stop. Typical cooked breakfast all day and the variety of elements and usually if lunch time a soup and a couple of other dishes. They also have sandwiches etc. And a couple of homemade cakes. Can be found just under the bridge if visiting the Ravenside retail and Leisure park.Lovely people and always had lovely hot food. Can sit outside.

I haven't been to this café in a long time so decided to go with my two children. First of all the lady serving made it clear that she wasn't happy to do food as it was 10 minutes before they stop serving ( I didn't know this) and kept huffing. She was rude to my 11 year old for asking for chips as they weren't cooking anymore and so he and my daughter settled for egg on toast. Well that is what they got! Just an egg on burnt toast. My partner ordered a burger and it was a cheap old flat burger, in a bun, no butter or anything else, just a burger. I had a jacket potato, I must have hit the jackpot as that was nice with some salad. Its a shame because it is a lovely location but the food was far from good and the customer service was non existent. It wasn't cheap either and sadly everyone left disappointed and unhappy. Its needs re-decorating, new staff and management, extend the lunch time beyond 2pm and smile! Bingo, there is a good and thriving business with much better ratings!

Visited today with my partner and small dog. Was made very welcome by the 2 lovely ladies serving and we enjoyed a cooked breakfast with tea and coffee. We sat outside as we had our dog with us but the lady came out and said that they are dog friendly inside too! So as the weather was getting cooler we went inside. Dog chews are available inside for 10p each and a huge bowl of drinking water is provided outside. Brilliant to find such a lovely and dog friendly place in a good location for walking, we will be going back!

Lovely cafė on the beach, would highly recommend, parking is easy and the views are excellent, staff very friendly

We have visited this little cafe regularly over the past 5 years and have always enjoyed the food & the friendly welcome from the owners & staff. It is in a lovely spot by the beach & we would recommend it to anyone.

The place was empty, we entered on our bikes & there was plenty of space to park them within the frontage, at that point we were very rudely told that we couldn't park there! I couldn't believe the manner in which we were spoken to, so we promptly left.

Lugar encantador justo en la playa, pero horrible servicio al cliente. Mujer trabajando allí muy groseramente salió fuera para preguntar si yo era un cliente a pesar del hecho de que era claramente de estar allí con mi abuela que había sido dentro para pedir un café de la señora dijo! Me pusieron justo al lado y me sha no nuevo.

Visitamos la semana pasada semana a la hora del almuerzo. Lugar prácticamente muerto, mala señal. Esperamos en la barra para ser servido. Podía oír a dos mujeres detrás del mostrador en la cocina, pero no pude ver nattering ellos. Esperamos pacientemente durante 5 minutos y no fue atendida. Podíamos oír el nattering así que caminé sólo alrededor del mostrador y aún no podía ver a nadie, pero aún así podía oír el natter. Volví al mostrador y permaneció en espera. Finalmente fui alrededor del mostrador de nuevo y caminamos un poco más hasta que encontré las dos mujeres nattering donde pedí cortésmente si podía ser servido. Me habla como si yo iba a rob el lugar por una de las mujeres y nos dijo en términos inequívocos que debo esperar detrás del mostrador. Le expliqué que había sido por 5 minutos y que si no había sido escondida de burbujeo entonces la situación no habría surgido. Entré en este punto. No hace falta decir que no volveré a juzgar por otros comentarios, no sobrevive mucho tiempo.

breakfast served was half cold and ingredients were as some said budget products , staff surly ,eating whilst serving ,...

Encantador lugar para una taza de café. Porción de tarta y tienen vista al mar. Justo en la playa. Se llena bastante. Cierra bastante temprano, por lo que yo he visto.

My husband, my 8moth old daughter and myself went for a walk on bexhill seafront. My daughter was hungry for a bottle and I was thirsty. We took a empty table outside ( a man was seating there with his do.) the beach wasn't particularly busy it been 10am. To my horror a rude lady opened a grotty unclean cubby hole and told us that "we needed to leave the premises as seats where for her customers only" my husband explained that there was no where to seat on the beach there was no one waiting outside giving the circumstances can we not feed our daughter here. She looked at us and in a very angry and unpleasant tone said "get off my premises this is for customers only" if she had given me a minute I would of got myself a drink. My husband and I where in pure shock. We went to the m and s around the corne who here more then happy for us to feed my daughter while we had a coffee and cake. I'm not even sure this place deserve 1 out of 5!

If you don't want to serve customers lock the door , closes at three went in 2.15 was rudely told not serving food but to be fair, after watching them clean the kitchen and the reviews on here I'm glad I wasn't allowed to eat

Ham egg and chips, how can you go wrong? Value ham, burnt value chips, slimy egg, and top it off, Heinz sauce bottles filled with value sauce, that's how. Cold coffee, margarine on the scrambled egg and the staff picking at food whilst cooking. Lovely. Avoid like the plague!

I will not be going back there again. Happy shopper quality or blue band standard food. Frankly it's disgusting. The ingredients are of very poor quality. In. Short, don't bother going.

Lovely to have a cafe like this on the beach. Love looking out yo sea drinking a cuppa or having a bite to eat,friendly staff ,have been popping gee over the years. And will carry on doing so .

With its perfect location you'd think this little cafe was going to be well worth it. Rude staff/owner doesn't seem as if she wants to be there. Also God forbid they could actually serve a table of 4 breakfast at the same time, 2 of our party had finished before we got ours. Overpriced. £6 for a breakfast including tea doesn't seem so bad, but one of everything, one bacon one cocktail sized sausage, one toast ect... Definitely not worth it.

We walked here this morning along the beach past Galley Hill today and had breakfast and the sun was beating down through the window. Gorgeous sausage sandwich and friendly staff in fantastic location. Perfect after a spot of shopping at ravenside retail park, just under the arch onto the beach. Would definitely recommend

If you want a quiet sunny spot for an excellent selection of snacks and good service, this place cannot be beaten.

I took my elderly mother (89 years) on a magical mystery tour by car from Eastbourne and we ended up at the Glyne Gap car park. Despite the steep descent (I'm in charge of the wheelchair) we ventured down the pedestrian hill way to the beach with our dogs and found the "Cafe on the beach" What a welcome discovery - despite the fact that they were closing for the day we were provided with a fabulous mug of tea, ginger cake and biscuits. There was no hassle to leave and it is definitely somewhere we will return to explore the coast walk and another visit to this excellent cafe. Thank you!

Our friend took us here on the day we left and it was so nice , the food was lovely and so was the view, i would say one should try and go here, i was perfect.The breakfast was just right and not to expensive.

After a couple of hours walking on the beach this was a really nice place to sit outside and relax before heading back to bus stop.Had a hot chocolate and a sandwich. Only dry dogs allowed inside, dogs inside somewhere food is served seemed a bit odd when there are tables outside.I asked what sort of lettuce they had as I cannot stand this rocket stuff, such a simple question was apparently not understood, even when I pointed out the word lettuce on the menu, gave up and when sandwich arrived, yes it did have rocket etc which I had to scrape off into my napkin. Sat outside on my rocky table with one leg shorter than the others and watched pushchairs struggle on the shingle and children allowed to climb on dangerous piles of stones, clearly signposted I may add.

Hidden away on the beach this café is in a great location and worth a stroll from Ravenside Shopping centre for a cuppa. We were a group of 7 and had a very pleasant stop while walking for an afternoon cup of tea and cake. Staff could not have been more helpful and happily topped up the pots of tea without extra charge. Cakes were home made and delightful. Rather sad to see couple of recent reviews of overcharging. Did not happen to us and only would once!! Good place give it a try.

Visited for lunch lovely area to sit outside very close to the beach, ordered scrambled egg on toast which was cooked well. Staff were pleasant the only thing that I didn't like was that the owners allowed dogs into the cafe.

Lovely sunny day and that's where the loveliness ends!In our group, 2 out of 3 couples were over charged by more than £2 each! Even though we were clearly a group all meals came separately with ours last, we had to go up and enquire how much longer it would be, (over half an hour and it wasn't busy) Tea was awful, breakfast was cheap ingredients, think Tesco value sausages taste better. Apart from overcharging, the woman who takes orders is very rude, she said to my friend as she came in the door, who was dressed in 40's gear for the roaring 20's, 'ooh it's the tart with a heart!' And when I asked politely how long the order would be (as the rest of our party had eaten and finished) she said 'it's coming as you speak!' No apology and very abrupt! We won't be going back and advise you to avoid as nothing good going for the place apart from the view and if she could, she would probably charge you for that if you linger too long outside!

Ordered full high tea for two, seemed expensive at £10.50 but went with it. The girl on the till couldn't add up £10.50 X 2.Had to wait for ages for the order to arrive, even had to ask where our order was. Staff seemed more interested in friends arriving because there was a live band playing.Plates looked dirty as did the cutlery. Tea tasted of chlorine, which I hate!One thing in the cafes favour was the scones were great. Wouldn't use again.

we normally call in there couple of times a month and order scrambled egg on toast with tomatoes theres always confusion with the order the last time involved being sworn at by the person taking the order then being charged |£16 for egg on toast and 2 coffees when said it was to much and asked for the money back she refused said it was being cooked so that's the last time we will be using that café

Tucked behind the Ravenscraig Shopping Retail park at Glyde gap, and right on the beach is this gem of a café. Small, simple honest to goodness value, and nothing between you and the beach, if you choose to sit outside on the terrace.Only drawback are the slightly limiting opening hours but its worth finding and especially for a 'full English'!

This is a lovely place to unwind ,good views of the sea ,reasonable prices ,.We saw some food come out it looked good , also if you park in the mounds of their car park and use the cafe you dont have to pay

A lovely location right on the coast path with views out to sea from both the inside tables and the outside deck. Breakfasts, sandwiches, cakes and mugs of tea and coffee are the staple menu here. All served with a smile from the staff. Would happily stop here again.

Nice place to eat foods ok staff are ok nice view of the sea you can sit outside with the dog just be carful of cycle path when you leave

Really good breakfast at a great price in a perfect setting. Staff really nice and helpful plus you can sit outside in the sun and people watch

Very nice little simple cafe. Perfect for stopping off if you're on a long walk from Hastings through to Bexhill along the beach and need a coffee and a piece of cake to keep you going. Lovely place to sit in the sun, looking out over the sea and watch the people walking past.

You probably couldn't get closer to the sea without literally being (the Cafe) on the Beach. This tea-rooms flavour cafe is actually on the promenade - probably where the photo was taken from, and comprises half a dozen tables in the open air, and more (rather more cosily) inside the simple but agreeable cafe-building. There are simple snacks on offer as well as simple cooked dishes, tea and drinks (not alcohol). somewhat apart from the main part of the town, the cafe has a bracing, Sussex-by-the-sea, air: wonderful on sunny, warm days, but (especially outside) you sometimes need to wrap up against risk Channel breezes. I write as a Bexhill resident, and in fact it's a year or two since I went there, possibly earlier than the date given below; but it doesn't change much.

Marvellous tea and coffee, very good service with a smile, I enjoyed the time we stayed there on the seafront, they also make a good selection of cakes and of course a great fry up ! reasonably priced, I would say middle range price wise but well worth it.

We came here recently as me and my family were walking on the seafront and wanted a quick bite. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if walking on the seafront I would definitely pop in.It is a British cafe with British food, it is, what it is. We sat outside which was nice on a warm autumn day. The cafe doesn't accept card payment which is annoying but there is a ATM close by.

The cafe is in a nice location. They do make a decent cup of tea at a reasonable price. The ladies serving were pleasent and quick. Seating inside and out. Toilets are not on site but not too far away. I think I would have to visit in the spring to give a fair review of the place.

This has to be the best way to spend a sunday brunch \.Piping hot food ,good banter and a great cup of tea and view of the world passing by. Cafe at its best.....

We had a coffee here during a long walk. We sat outside, so that we could enjoy the view of the beach and the sea. Although the seating is not very comfortable, having a coffee here while enjoying the sunshine is a treat. The coffee was ready made (that is not from a machine) and there was a breakfast menu to choose from, and of course delicously looking home made cakes. A perfect spot to rest!

This is an excellent place to sit and have a full breakfast after a walk along the beach from Hastings which is quite a long way, or Bexhill which is nearer. The food is very good.

This cafe is in an ideal spot for meeting with friends, refreshment after a walk, both dog friendly and very nice staff. eat in or out, good food served with a smile and no long waits.

I visit here reasonably Food is fine and freshly cooked, but the menu is not extensive. Great for a cuppa and a snack though.

Brilliant little hid-away old style transport cafe - honest and 'robust' British fayre and cuppas of tea, but fairly nondescript references to coffee and anything beyond the UK shores.

Great location on a sunny day, lovely spot for re charging after a walk around Glyne Gap, good simple seaside cafe food. If you're a real coffee drinker, have day off and go for tea here!

Not for the builders breakfast and chips arnt all that. Sandwiches looked nice though with nice thick fresh bread. Oh and a can of coke is £1.20. Good for a coffee and a small snack. Sea View is very good . Plus the waitress spayed cleaner on my table while eating

Well what can I say! A fabulous location over looking the beach at Glyne Gap and the food is very good and reasonable too! Best Cafe in Bexhill!

The cafe by the beach is a gem. Really only used by locals as it's opening times tends to vary, especially in the winter. Their menu is limited to the usual sausage,bacon,egg beans etc but I defy anyone to find better. There is something quite special about eating a cooked breakfast with a mug of hot tea in the open air looking at the sea. Dog walkers often stop en route as there is outside seating to watch the world go by.It can be found on the pleasant walk along the sea front and beach in BExhill heading towards Hastings near Ravenside retail park.

This is a lovely place to take you family after a play day on the seafront! I have grown up with coming to this place and hope to carry on visiting for a long while yet! Great service and lovely atmosphere

It was our first visit on Sunday it was a chilly day & the seating is outside but there were blankets for people that wanted them it was lovely to be so close to the sea. We both had latte it was a large glass mug & coffee was lovely

Meet friends here for breakfast, you don't need to book in advance just turn up!Warm welcome from the ladies who run the Cafe on the beach, very accommodating when we wanted to change our orders around.Wide range of food on their menu and hot or cold drinks too. Great value for money, beautiful views of the beach and sea, perfect for chilling with a cafe latte or walking the dog!Toilets on site, clean and well stocked ( no baby changing though) Would recommend a visit.

Lovely food and great service. Friendly owners and nothing was too much trouble. We love finding places that do simple things really well!

This was a chance find on the coastal path between Bexhill and Hastings. It will not win awards for architectural merit but it made up for it in every other way. There is inside seating or on a bright day a patio area directly onto the coast path and beach. The menu is very traditional British seaside café, all day breakfasts, sandwiches, chips, bread pudding and mugs of tea or coffee. The staff were very friendly, the food was cooked to order, the tea arrived in a large teapot with the offer of extra hot water if we would like and the view was amazing. Overall the experience was very enjoyable and we will certainly be back.
