Cafe on the Quay in Rother

Nice, family run cafe. We had the big breakfasts, one of the nicest fry-ups I've had in a while. Friendly service too. Will return, thanks.

We had cake and a drink in there and very nice it was. Lovely people who run it.

Stopped in for a cuppa and a sausage sandwich both were excellent very clean cafe good service definitely going again

We visited Rye for the first time in 5 years and stumbled across this little place .I had a brown bread bacon sandwich and my partner had a white bread bacon and sausage sandwich. The bread was lovely and fresh and very light not stodgy at all . There was plenty of filling all cooked to perfection . The price was very reasonable and the staff were very friendly Unfortunately it is only small inside and there wasn't enough tables there are tables outside but it was raining so many people came into the cafe but had to leave as the tables were taken , alot of 4 seater tables were taken up by 2 people I think more 2 seater tables instead of 4 seater would benefit the cafe as more people could be seated . Over all a great little cafe and I would highly recommend it 👌

A really nice place to visit, the breakfast is very very good

Delicious food and amazing service! Highly recommend! ⭐️

Great cuppa and a bacon sandwich.

The food is nice but the amount for the money is disappointing compared to most other places. One small sausage one very small egg, has the menu. I didn’t mind small wait for food but it took less time eat than I did to arrive. On the whole a good experience just left feeling I needed a little more grub.

Fresh, clean and tasty breakfast! One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long while, if not THE BEST 😍

Lovely little cafe out of the centre of Rye. Best veggie Full English I've had in a while and top coffee to boot. Would recommend to all.

Great little café with some really good service and veggie / vegan options. Well-located though quite small.

Excellent food at a great price. Great customer service

All good, would have been nice to have a hot plate. Option of tinned tomatoes would have been good. Otherwise really nice.

Had a take away breakfast , best I’ve had in years , quality food and cooked to perfection! Staff are kind and polite, will deffo come again !

Went for breakfast it was very nice food very cheap and tasty owners very friendly

Made to feel welcome on a wet and blustery Thursday morning, we both had a mighty fine fry up, excellent fried slice, will be back.

Great cafe, reasonably priced with top quality local produce.

Popular bikers cafe. Not far from the bike carpark across the road Food is good quality, but slightly more expensive then other bikers cafe near by. Quite small inside so have limited seating, chef was not the friendest, but was chatty with the local bikers.

Easily the best breakfast in Rye. Incredible food.

First class service and food served by lovely people.

We often go here for breakfast. One of the best around. It's surprising how many places don't let you swap items. My wife doesn't eat eggs so most set breakfasts do not appeal to her. Swapping eggs out for something else is good for her.

Came here to pick up a couple bacon sandwiches to sit out on the harbor to watch the bikes ride by. Great morning and a great bacon sandwich with thick crusty bread. Will definitely be back but to try an actual fry up next time. Friendly staff as well by the way 😊

Had a very nice breakfast here, good value, great friendly service.

Great place to eat after a good ride

What a little gaff this is! Went here before a wedding to fuel up and could not have asked for anymore! I opted for the big breakfast which was an absolute treat, all ingredients were fresh and high quality, my friend went for the mixed grill and both meals finished us off, you do love to see it! Massive thanks to the staff as they were simply wonderful too!

We stopped for breakfast. 3 vegetarians and they had lots of options plus were happy to adapt the menu for us. Was delicious!

I'll have to echo what others have said about a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Great service and great food. Will be stopping here again the next time we visit Rye to sample the rest of the menu!

Really nice people. Thank you. Great place to visit and thoroughly recommend when visiting Rye. Brilliant

Excellent service friendly and comfortable food is great always good selection of fresh cakes and scones very reasonable prices. Highly recommend

We came on a Thursday looking for a good fry up and we got that and some. I can hands down say that it was the nicest fry up I've ever had! Staff were really friendly and the food is of excellent quality but doesn't deviate from a traditional fry up by trying to be fancy! I write this from outside the cage as we decided it was so good we'd come back for a cream tea, which has just been placed in front of me so I'll leave this here as the scone looks too good to leave for a second longer :) p.s picture was loading and I rook a bite of my scone while it was yes it was as tasty as I thought!

We had a quick lunch here. Omelette and chips for one, ham, egg and chips for the other. Good quality food nicely cooked. Friendly service. Very much 'does what it says on the tin' and we would be happy to return next time we are in Rye.

Wonderful quayside cafe. Lots of quirky knick knacks on the walls and cabinets, many of which are for sale. But the main star is the menu. We went for a spicy chicken burger and a standard cheeseburger. Both were delicious with double cooked chips that were dangerously moreish.

We recently popped to Rye and thought we would nip in the cafe on the quay, glad we did unlike most establishments t eat in Rye the guys were happy and helpful the food ( again unlike most places in Rye) was reasonable and you had generous helpings , it makes a change for staff to smile and crack jokes whilst giving an excellent service, that’s our go to place for food in Rye all the others can be miserable together.

We go a few times a year, just for a ride out (motorbike) to get a great breakfast and a walk around lovely Rye afterwards. I've been coming here for over a decade and can't see that changing, Trevor and Co have always looked after us :) cheers.

Visited yesterday and had a bacon sandwich. Really nice and good value for money. They didn’t scrimp on the portion sizes. Stafffriendly and good service

We had Lunch here last Friday and the whole experience was excellent. I had a lovely Ham roll and my partner had a lovely Fish Finger roll. Don't walk past go in or you're missing out.

Le grand Breakfast est excellent et très copieux. Je recommande !

Clean and tidy, well organised, friendly accomodating staff prepared to go off menu and make chip butties on request. Recommended.

Stopped off here after a long and wet and windy walk to camber castle. I am so glad we did. The place was very clean and tidy. The staff were so friendly and the big breakfast roll terrific, just what we needed. Prices are about right for what we had. They also let us bring our dog in. Will definitely return another time.

Found this lovely cafe whilst staying nearby and liked it so much the first time, we went back again! The food was delicious and well cooked and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended

Very cozy restaurant in typical English style with a rich menu, offering delicious and varied food. Very kind, smiling, friendly and friendly people who work there. When you are there, you feel as if you are a guest of the family, the atmosphere is so cozy and predisposing. An integral part of the color of the city. I recommend!

Cozy little cafe ,does great hot chocolate,and some mean cake🤠👍 friendly owners and staff,good breakfast menu too

Good food at a reasonable price

Stopped off in the motercycle park and popped in for breakfast....great

Enjoyed a very nice burger and chips hear and would recommend happily

Great AirBnB above cafe, perfect for young couple and toddler safe

Great breakfast served here thoroughly recommended it

lovely breakfast, all free range ingredients,

Lovely little place, delicious food, good service.

Great cappuccino and friendly owner...super!

Only stopped for a coffee, shop was late opening and the coffee was average at best.

We stopped in here today for the first time while out on our bikes. First impressions wasn’t overly friendly…. Menu looked ok, we ordered two 4oz cheeseburgers…. For the price they come with chips! Husband loved his but unfortunately I didn’t. If I had known that they were cooked quite rare I would have asked for it to be well done…. Was no mention of this from the staff. Needless to say husband ate two burgers while I had some chips. Would be good if there were some lighter options available on the menu as not everyone has a big appetite.

Beautiful Ham Ploughman Roll which is excellent value for money

Went to Rye for a bike meet. Always go to Café on the Quay. Only have coffee so can't comment on other food etc.

Have been here many times for a coffee when on the bike and parked across the road on the Strand. Always a decent brew. Today no exception.

Wonderful and polite - lovely coffee - beautiful local service - highly recommend . Lovely staff - very clean toilet - lovely outside seating .

A very good stop of on a long walk, mixed omelette and good chunky chips

Good food 😋 and friendly nice young lady

Friendly, safe service and amazing food. Took care of our every need..... Needless to say, we went back!

A good breakfast. Everything done well, with good sausage and bacon. Coffe is instant. Interior is very nice. Service ok, 'no poached eggs' on our day.

Had a really lovely lunch here, the place was really nice and clean, the staff were really friendly and the food was delicious, the food that I saw getting taken to other people also looked really good. Would definitely recommend

Lovely place, great food and wonderful staff! Highly recommended!

Always friendly . Nice bacon and egg sarnie 👍

Amazing hand roasted coffee and baked goods. Lovely owner and well worth a visit!

Fresh local food, tasted amazing! Friendly staff and the atmosphere/decor inside is lovely. Will definitely visit again :)

Lived in Rye for 42 years and never had breakfast out. Today decided we would for a change from cooking at home. It was fantastic a good old fry up well presented well cooked delicious and the best coffee ever. Good service too and the...

We rode our bikes to Rye this morning for breakfast, we have eaten at this cafe before and I think the food is very good but today the service let it down loads. My friends order came out and was not complete, when he told...

Lovely welcome bacon rolls spot on as usual

Oh my this is a must! Fish finger roll is the must. I give it 20 out of 10. Oh and the coffee wonderful. I am going back.

Have been coming here for years, as Rye is the perfect destination on a morning's motorcycle ride. Free bike parking is available immediately opposite the café, though it's a bit of a squeeze to get between the barrier and the wall if your bike is carrying large panniers.... Anyway, there's a warm welcome awaiting you in the café. In normal times there's loads of seating indoors. In the post covid apocalypse version of 2021, the café operates a takeaway system, though as from Monday just gone, a small outside seating area is available. The breakfasts are great, the cakes are delicious, the service is fast & friendly, and if you like a bit of football-based banter, mein host can provide that too (he's a Man City fan, but you can forgive him this small aberration because he's a top fella)....Well worth a visit.

Outstanding take away burger and excellent service. Will definitely be my go to place in rye for food

Freshly cooked to order. Decent price. Local ingredients. Had a lovely meal deal from here as they just started doing Friday and Saturday evenings. Burger with salad and bacon in a brioche bun, onion rings, coleslaw ( best ive had in ages) and skinny fries...oh and a drink. Best money ive spent on a takeaway in Rye in ages! And quick pick up time too. Love the eco burger boxes they are a work of art in themselves. On a freezing evening was just what I needed Thanks.

We recently visited the Cafe on the Quay for the first time and although it's take away only at the moment, the quality of food was very good. As Rye is in tier 4, there are few choices left for take away food. The food...

Back yesterday for 1st breakfast after 2nd lockdown. Same amazing service,quality ingredients and cooking. Look forward to this every week. Trevor and Mandy make you so welcome. Best brekkie anywhere.

Back down to Trevor and Mandy today for the 1st day of re-opening. Another 1st class breakfast. All freshly cooked and quality ingredients. Terrific friendly service. Feel like family. Excellent coffee cake too. Quality food and ,cooking and service. Back next week for another.

Never met people more rude than them! There was no sign on the window to do not enter or sign for where to order so I went in with my mask on to order a take away coffee and the owner or the person working...

On a cold but bright Sunday during lockdown 2.0, we visited Rye for fresh air and to blow the cobwebs. On returning to the car a takeaway lunch was called for. Served in pop open boxes a delicious chicken burger, and cheeseburger were demolished. Friendly...

£5.00 for a bacon sandwich. Utter jokes.

Popped in at the weekend to shelter from the rain, coffee and cake delicious, staff extremely friendly and cheerful. Highly recommend this café.

We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast in Rye on a rainy sunday morning and stumbled upon this lovely cafe. Covid safety measures were in place but we found these reassuring and not rude at all as the previous review suggests. The food was...

Very friendly staff with amazing food

We arrived in Rye keenly anticipating a day out to support local businesses. The cafe in the Quay was the first cafe we came across. What a mistake! We had our masks on ready to enter. We were met at the door (with chain across)...

Great food with some very friendly staff make you feel very welcome would recommend this place to take a rest break

Great pit stop after a long walk for a cream tea with fruit scones! Friendly owner and great service. Support local businesses!

What a lovely little find. So nice to find a really covid friendly cafe making you feel relaxed and safe to eat in. Fresh made scones were delicious and you get 2 !! Protective Screens made especially The lady serving was lovely if we return to Rye will return!

Very abruptly and rude waiter. Definitely not recommended ☹️

I had a full breakfast, it was delicious. Lots of mushrooms! Thick fresh bread toast with real butter. You can judge a cafe on its toilets and its sausage, both were amazing. Lots of hand sanitizer around and we were asked to sanitize as we...

We stopped here for lunch today. We both enjoyed our lunch - tuna mayo roll and cheese burger. Very generous portions too.

Shockingly expensive. Nearly £5.00 for a bacon sandwich alone. Greedy fools.

Wow... the best breakfasts ever! We didn’t eat for the rest of the day. Mandy, James and the team were very welcoming and the cafe was super clean and very Covid secure. We felt very safe eating there and hope to be back next time...

THE best breakfast roll I've ever had!!!!

Amazing food, huge portions , excellent prices, friendly and accommodating staff. If you want a big breakfast this is the ONLY place to go in Rye.

Tucked away just outside the centre of Rye, this was a wonderful find on the wet and cold day we were visiting this East Sussex town. The ladies looking after the cafe on the morning we called in were very friendly, matching this warm and...

I've had a few cooked breakfasts in my time and this was to die for; it set me up for the rest of the day! It had both quality and quantity! Mushrooms are always the test of any good breakfast and they were cooked to...

We had 2 of the delicious leek and potato soups with lovely fresh bread and a bowl of their amazing chips. Lovely cosy vibe and bonus that it is dog friendly!

We popped in this cafe for a quick lunch. We ordered a ham sandwich and a soup. The bread was nice and fresh, though they had no brown bread. The ham was lovely but the bread had been covered with a ton of butter which...

A little gem of a cafe 🌟🌟🌟lovely food, great quality- just remember too bring cash👍🏻

Lovely food. Good place to stop at when out on your Motorbike.

Lovely and friendly decent prices too

An excellent breakfast after staying above in their B and B. Although breakfast was included, the prices in the cafe seem very reasonable. Good choices available. Service good And will remember when next in Rye. We were there for the Rye Jazz concerts.
