Castle Cottage Tearoom in Wealden

A little gem I was introduced to for the first time. I entered with a smile and left with an even larger one. What a lovely and quaint tearoom. If one wishes to step back in time, this is a place to visit. The hosts and service were excellent, as was the food.

Tea room. Our family always visits. Beautiful atmosphere, comfortable, dog friendly. Cakes, scones are delicious. Great welcome, friendly. Can sit inside or outside. Always good with my dog.

Delightful little tearoom where staff are very pleasant and prices for food and drink are very reasonable indeed. Lovely setting right next to the castle. Our dog was also very welcome too with treats and water provided.

Lovely little cafe where staff are delightful.

Wonderful. This is a tea room as you would expect. Olde world at its best. Take your parents or grand parents. They will remeniss so much. The food was basic but so well prepared. Try the scones. It doesn't matter if they were plain, cheese or fruit. They were fantastic. Thank you. It was wonderful. Ps...... A word of advice. Book ! They were full and not surprisingly !!! 😁😁

Excellent tea time, the scones are very good, clotted cream a treat and above all the atmosphere, it feels like you are in 1950, the music, the style....we will come back.magical place.

Lovely traditional tea room serving delicious cream teas, cakes and sandwiches. Visited with family to celebrate a birthday. Staff were helpful and made us very welcome. I shared a traditional cream tea and a savoury cream tea (cheese scone, cream cheese, relish and bacon). Absolutely gorgeous! Cakes and sandwiches were fab too. Parking nearby (small charge) and nice walks locally. Dog friendly which is an added bonus.

What a lovely little quaint cottage. It felt like we’d stepped into someone’s home. Fantastic service from a very friendly member of staff. Nana’s high tea was delicious. Freshly made quality food. Beautiful location, settled right next to Pevensey castle. We will return as it was very good value for money and the service was exceptional.

As with every visit, the food, service and atmosphere is beyond 5 Star.

Enjoyed tea and sandwiches here. Quaint place, old world decoration. Attentive service.

What an amazing tearoom absolutely perfect!! Really reasonably priced and all homemade was delicious 😋 we will definitely be coming back again and again...

Got taken here for a early mothers day pressie from my my two kids. We 3 had afternoon tea. All sandwiches made fresh to order, all cakes home made, Scones are the best I've tasted by far, very good prices and just the right amout so didnt feel uncomfortable afterwards. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly owners. Nice walk after through the castle and back. Would highly recommend it and want to go back as soon as I can do.😄

What a lovely charming tea room. Lovely cakes and treats. The staff are friendly and helpful. Suggest booking as they were full for any walk ins.

What am absolute treat. Everything you would expect from an English afternoon tea house. Well done to all the staff....you are doing a marvellous job! Lovely. Thank you for making what was otherwise a very dreary gloomy day and absolute dream.

Really great atmosphere! Sandwiches, scones and homemade cakes were absolutely delicious!

Lovely quintessential English tea room It felt like stepping into someone's home! Relaxed cosy and so welcoming The decor and background music added to the ambience The staff were so friendly and attentive Excellent food and service and very good value for money The little shop selling gifts was an added bonus! I will definitely be making a return visit and recommending this lovely find to others!

Lovely little tea room tucked against the wall of the Castle.

My first time enjoying a hot chocolate and a festive scone at this location and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were all really nice and friendly

Very quaint tea room. Very homely feel, loved all the Christmas decor and small touches. Lovely attentive waitress and hosts. We appreciated them fitting us in when we had tried to book last minute. Really enjoyed the scones and cakes. If we were living local we would come regularly. If you’re looking for a lovely little tea room this is a great place to visit.

Love it. Well worth a visit to this place, like a step back in time.

We have visited several times and are always impressed by the warm, friendly welcome and service from the staff. The food is such good value and so tasty. We particularly enjoyed the festive Christmas sandwiches. The tearoom has lots to look at and a quirky shop to browse. Lovely to sit outside in the summer.

Best scones I have ever eaten! Went two weeks in a row! Service is so friendly, warm and welcoming.

Brilliant traditional tea room. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A trip back to the 50s, a fabulous tea room, and somewhere we will definitely be going back to. Home-made cakes that remind you of home and childhood.

Excellent tea room set in the era of the war. Lovely cakes. Nice place to stop whilst walking around Pevensey

Not good I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you are over the age of 90. All the good reviews are from people with dementia and the food is all soft or puréed because most of the customers don’t have teeth. It is the perfect place if you want to experience all the bad things about the 1920s - this tearoom gave me Great Depression! The toilets are even in the garden so I now understand why pensioners always complain about how hard their lives used to be. The sandwich was underwhelming and I feel like I have aged 20 years from the mental strain of eating it. If you have good enough eyesight to read this review, you are too young to go here!

First time visiting and will not be the last. Such a lovely little find! Great food and great service, highly recommend.

Went for mothers 80th birthday nannies tea, 8 of us, drinks, cake, sandwiches, scones and cream. Was absolutely excellent and great value Staff friendly and attentive Thank for a lovely afternoon

Very friendly and prompt service even though it was a busy Sunday Morning. Nice big pot of tea with lovely delicate china cups And saucers. Warm scones with butter cream & jam were delicious. Dog friendly. Even the dogs (we had 2) were given a biscuit Would highly recommend

Such a delightful tea rooms the family from age 1 to 61 were brilliantly catered for.

The Castle tearooms is like stepping back in time to the 1940s. The building is very much in keeping with the castle and the local area but still very wheelchair accessible. We took my sister there today in her electric wheelchair and we were able to access the tearooms easily by the side entrance. The staff were very attentive and helpful and adjusted the furniture to accommodate us. We spent a couple of hours enjoying coffee, lunch and their delicious cakes as always. Val said today that this is her favourite place to visit and we totally agree with her.

Lovely afternoon tea. Great value lovely food and charming staff. Refreshingly good experience would definitely visit again

Visited with friends, coffee, and tea review, okayish! Cakes were very good, but when we requested slices of cake to buy to take home we were told,'no as may be needed for cafe customers'? Not suitable for wheel chair users because of steps and irregular garden paths. Seating in garden, and toilet in garden for all customers. After your visit, take time to look at the old items in room by exit. Car parking available, but beware 'you have to pay'. Find time to walk around. and inside the Castle.....you will have to bring your imagination in! Lot of history in and around Pevensey. Don't forget to have a look at the Old Mint House in the High Street.

Went on a hot day, all doors open so lovely cool breeze. Very popular, best to book. Staff friendly and attentive, quirky little shop too

Very plesent afternoon would recommend to people staying in Pevensey food fantastic service fantastic dogs made to feel welcome to great experience and value for money and lot of choice

A lovely place, food and service excellent and could not do enough for you. Sat in Garden with dogs,

Amazing place - like being transported back to the 40s! The owners obviously take a lot of pride in their business. Excellent home made cakes. Definitely worth travelling to if you are in the area.

I rang to book a table as other reviewers recommended, glad to find car parks right outside, went in and were greeted and given a lovely table and menus. When I rang I forgot to mention that I've got some allergies, so when I asked what was available for me to be able to eat safely it took the lady serving me quite a while to find anything but I was so grateful, that even when they were very busy they did spend a lot of time checking ingredients. If you do have any allergies I would recommend that when you ring to book, you let them know first! I had a lovely home made scone with jam and cream, hubby had two and we really enjoyed how delicious they were. This is a quaintly British tea room, dogs are welcomed both inside and out in the garden - which is beautiful.

Absolute fabulous food, lovely setting, friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit. Advance booking is advised.

Amazing place lovely cream tea. Defo worth a visit, advisable to book though

Lovely little tea room excellent choice of food and a lovely atmosphere also parking near by definitely recommend 👌

A wonderful tea room with great snacks and cakes and waitrise service. Cafe is a typical old fashioned tea room serving up teas and coffees in china cups and saucers. A warm welcome is always given. Staff are fantastic. Very popular, so it is best that you reserve a table so as not to be dissapointed in finding there is no room. Lovely surroundings with the Castle behind and an opportunity in visiting Pevensey Castle.

Nice places, Exactly on the side of Pevency Castle Good atmosphere

Lovely traditional tearoom, excellent customer service, one of the best afternoon teas that I have had.

The quirky interior is what drew us to eat here initially, but the service and the quality of the food was spot on. Wonderful afternoon tea, with excellent cake options, especially for dairy free/ vegan diet. Excellent service, nothing was too much trouble. Food was incredibly good - the best vegan scone I’ve eaten - and the cakes all looked to be home made. Certainly not a scrap left on our plates! There’s a little shop attached to the cafe selling lots of weird and wonderful treasures. If only we lived closer!

Lovely little coffee shop in pevensey

Such a beautiful, quaint tea rooms. Such friendly staff through from the booking process (email) to serving the tables. Food was delicious and so nicely presented. Will definitely return.

Visited the Castle Cottage Tearoom for the first time after many years and change of hands. Opening times are restricted now Table booking only However we were allowed to come into the tearoom for a drink and a snack provided we vacated the table by 2 pm due to a booking The hot chocolate was made with semi skimmed milk. The toasties were okay and the tearoom was very oldie worldly not like when Barbara ran it. When I asked for the bill, I asked to take away 2 slices of cake. I was told that I couldn’t have any cake as they had more customers due in!!! What’s the difference between buying the cake and eating it there to buying the cake to take home in order to vacate a table. I was disappointed in the tearoom as it stands today

We have driven past this place many times. Finally we managed to go on Friday before the Coronation. What a delightful surprise. Inside is a charming mix of the 1930s style crossed with Granny's parlour. Tooks some friend with us who absolutely loved it. If you have chance, pop in and meet the lovely ladies that run this individual non chain tearooms. This definitely won't be the last time we go. Thank Ladies See you soon Keith and Dax xx

전혀 예상치 못했던 멋진 카페입니다. 케익도 맛있고 차와 커피도 최고. 카파도키아 킹스 커피 이후 최근들어 최고의 카페입니다. 전통차도 유명하다는데 아쉽게도 못 마셔 봤네요. 저희는 에프터눈티 세트.

Lovely little place by the castle

We absolutely love this tea rooms, fantastic value and very friendly staff. We drive over 30 miles to experience this tea room, thank you, I can highly recommend this venue

Castle Cottage Tearooms. Car Parking-Pay at Meter Garden, or in doors. Toilets outside, very clean. Lovely selection of homemade cakes, sandwiches, tea and coffee. Dogs are allowed inside 😕 personally I don't agree with this, but good for dog owners.

A charming place! We went for coffee and ended up having a cream tea. But they had a good variety of traditional cakes. The scone was good, although we would have preferred if they had had homemade clotted cream. But we enjoyed our cream tea anyway. The staff were lovely, from first to last. Very polite and attentive. The place was like being at home but in the past. Very tasteful, taking care of every detail. The plates, the cups, the way the food is served, ... It was a bit cool to have a drink in the garden would have been a pleasure too. Totally recommendable!

So beautiful inside and out.A little cottage in the grounds of the castle (the castle is literally in the back garden),converted into a tea shop.Step back in time and enjoy a vintage tea in vintage surroundings. My daughter and I ate on the verandah as the weather was nice.The garden is lovely and has a friendly Robin. We had sandwiches and a cream tea,which was amazing 👏 😋 😍

My absolute favourite tearoom locally, proper traditional tearoom that has a great feel to it. Staff are friendly and cake to die for! what more could you want? Oh maybe a nice garden - yes they have that too! easy parking.

Lovely little local business, good food, nice drinks, good service, fair price,

Booked a table for my birthday, for my husband, my son, his wife and my grandson. Nothing was too much trouble the food and service was excellent, and a very kind member of staff ran after us with my grandson's bag that he had left on the floor, thank you to you all, we can't wait to come back.

A nice place to visit, good food, quiet, restful and a nice shop too

What a great tea room. Very quaint, very British. It's like stepping back in time. Food and tea were fantastic. Definitely recommend. Ps. Make sure you book ahead of time, it's quite popular!!

My partner and I have been wanting to stop by to this team room for quite some time after spotting it on our Sunday walk. Today, we stopped by and shared a Nanna’s high tea, which was absolutely delicious. The BLT was perfect, the fruit scone was still warm and the coffee and walnut cake was lovely. The portion size was ample along with the amount of cream and Jam for the scone - there wasn’t any scrimping here. The gentleman, which served us, was attention and made us feel really welcome; the food and drinks came out in perfect timing. The decor made me feel really nostalgic and I absolutely loved the tea cosy. High recommend for couples or families. We will definitely be visiting again.

It's a beautiful and very English tearoom (as a foreigner, I love such places), just outside the castle and next to the parking. We had a cup of tea and cake, and we will definitely come back one day!

Love this tea room ~ fabulous quality food!

Having friends come over from Switzerland who like English Cream Teas the Castle Cottage Tearoom was an obvious location for lunch. Our friends were most impressed with the experience, even on a cold, damp, rainy February day. The cleanliness and decor are exemplary, the staff friendly and helpful, the service first class, the food superb and great value for money. A really nice touch was the large tea-pot with additional hot-water at no extra charge. In these fraught times a venue providing this good a service at a very good price deserves our patronage. Well done Castle Cottage staff and thank you. Our friends will return to Switzerland in the sure knowledge that England can be a very welcome place to visit. Our sincere Thanks. Roy & Melanie.

Nice people very good service and a nice atmosphere

Such a beautiful old fashioned tearoom. I had the best fruit scone and chocolate Guinness cake. Lovely service and nestled in the Roman walls with a view of grazing sheep.

Really enjoyed our high tea - which is a sandwich and scone. Just enough for us! They offer lots of different teas - ones with scones, with cake etc . Friendly service and delicious food. Would recommend booking a table as they get busy! Traditional tea room. Lovely!

This is a little gem. Lovely atmosphere with good home baked goods and nostalgic memorabilia everywhere. It's my favourite place to take my mum for lunch, she lights up when we go there.

Had a lovely lunch at the tearoom today. Great service and very friendly. Also dog friendly which is great! Would recommend!

Great place fantastic staff. Very friendly will visit again

This was not somewhere we would have chosen, it looked a little too "twee" for us, but it was recommended by the staff of Pevensey Castle, and we were so pleased we took their advice. This tea-room is located just outside the main castle entrance...

Great find! Lovely afternoon tea with very friendly staff

This was a very atmospheric tea room, service was excellent, food was even better. Definately need to go back before we go home..... Great value.

The nicest cream tea we’ve ever had. Scones were perfect and all homemade. Teas and coffees were lovely. They were very welcoming with our dog too and the seating outside is lovely and spacious. Prices very reasonable. 100% would come again if over here on holiday and would 100% recommend with enthusiasm. Made our holiday.

Had a lovely visit, once before visiting Pevensey Castle & again after the visit. Our first visit was just what we needed after our albeit short journey. Greeted by a lovely lady, given time to peruse the menu & also advising us to book a...

A quiet lunch on the veranda today. Excellent service, the food was delicious as always. The sandwiches were fresh and packed full. The lemon and blueberry cake was outstanding, light sponge with a soft lemon buttercream, served with pot of tea and a welcoming smile.

Wonderful quirky old fashioned tearoom. We managed to get the last available table at lunchtime so booking is definitely advised. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the setting on a lovely sunny day is just fabulous. Cheese scones are...

We were a group of 5 who had booked but arrived a good deal later due to a local incident . They were super friendly and helpful. And the afternoon tea were delicious. We will be back.

This tea room is amazing. Clean, friendly staff and very good food. I came here with my son after spending the morning at the castle. We were greeted by a lovely lady called Carolyn who indulged my seven year old. We had toasties and scones. Everything was freshly made and fabulous. They played 1940’s ish music and the interior is retro without being gaudy. Perfect slice of Sussex life.

We really loved our first visit. Decor and atmosphere delightful, I felt like I had stepped back in time and I was in my Grandma's lounge - it really had a lovely feel to it. Staff lovely, very helpful and attentive and food was absolutely...

Just outside the walls of Pevensey Castle is this charming tea room, that is like stepping back in time to the 1940s with its music of that era gently playing from an old radio and service with an old fashioned charm it is a lovely place to visit for hot drinks and homemade cakes. You can sit inside or in the garden and watch a friendly Robin, sparrows and other birds that visit

This is a proper old-fashioned tearoom right next to the ruins of Pevensey Castle. Cleverly decorated and with wartime music playing from a Bakelite wireless. Very good coffee and a range of cakes and pastries is available. Service was efficient and friendly, prices particularly good.

What a lovely find. Tucked behind the 1500 year old roman ruins of Pevensey Castle- there is a lot left- is the fabulous Castle Cottage Tearoom. I kid you not when I say they were The Best scones I have EVER eaten!! Lovely ambiance and super dog friendly. Go. Eat. Drink but please leave a scone or two for me ❤️

This tearooms has a perfect location as their front garden actually have the Pevensey Castle Walls as their border. It is a beautiful location to sit out on a sunny day. As it was a bank holiday I checked that the scones were freshly baked...

Stopped for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake with family. Lovely staff, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The team rooms felt like home. Beautiful spot.

A real old fashioned afternoon tea in a lovely setting at the foot of Pevensey Castle. It was like going back to the fifties with a lovely welcome from all staff and excellent waitress service. The food was delicious and I was even offered alternative...

We LOVE the Castle Cottage Tea Room and it's always a highlight of our visit to the area. The scones are the very best we've ever tasted (totally light and non-claggy!) and the cakes are amazing. We've also had light lunches in here too and...

What a fantastic place. We came down to do a walk on the Pevensey Levels and round the Castle and had lunch here before we set off. I had cheese scones with chutney and cream cheese and it was amazing! My wife had Toasted Sandwich that was also great and wonderful pot of tea. Everyone there was so friendly and found out it opened as a tea room in 1874! Everything about it is perfect and the cheese scones reminded me of the ones my Grandmother used to make! We will return many times :)

Lovely cream tea for Mother's Day today. Friendly service and good selections. A nice experience in juice surroundings.
