Centre Cafe Rowfant in Mid Sussex

The food was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly 😋

Totally agree with all the good things said about this place, and could possibly go further. There is something at Centre Cafe that is more than a sum of all the parts that feels almost mystical. I’ve puzzled over it for some years and the best explanation I’ve managed so far is that it's the kind of place where you don’t need to worry about that kind of question, just consistently great food, great service, great prices. So perhaps there isn’t anything magical about the place at all, it’s just that this is the way the world should be and it just feels special when so much else in the world is awry…? Thank you, Team!

You’re not going to find a better smashed avocado on granary bread with poached eggs and diced bacon - anywhere in any restaurant or hotel!! The English breakfasts are outstanding too, the excellent seating arrangements and convenient location along the Worth Way make this a perfect place to eat!!

I’ve been going here for years for the best fry-up around but today went crazy and had what I can only describe the best smashed avocado on granary bread with poached eggs with diced bacon ever. I’ve not found better in any restaurant or hotel - anywhere!!! Great job all of you. Fantastic country surroundings too with seating to suit all occasions. Absolutely Top Spot!!!

My friend and I frequently visit this wonderful cafe after a walk along the Worth Way, for either a cup of tea or a breakfast. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better place to go for a good cuppa and delicious food. Always a warm, friendly welcome. The fact that it's always busy is a sign that the word has spread! Very reasonably priced as well.

Love this Cafe, busy, great menu choices, we always go for Breakfast- the best! So many choices. Really friendly staff, really quick service. Happy to accommodate your needs - ie no tomato etc. All are welcome it's primarily a workers Cafe, an eat and go place not sit and lounge for a couple of hours. Portion sizes are big too. Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere.

We love this wonderful cafe. Super friendly staff, all food freshly prepared, very tasty & nicely presented. Martin so kindly & generously has donated vouchers towards a charity event that we are holding for a 3 year old little boy with neuroblastoma. This is the second time that he has done this. Please visit this cafe & enjoy a walk down The Worth Way.

Visited this morning for breakfast. Unsurprisingly it was busy, (at 9.45), but managed to get a table outside. Ordered food inside, (although it appeared table service was available given one of the waitresses attended the table next to us). I was surprised how reasonably priced the food was - one sausage sandwich, a breakfast, a full breakfast and drinks for under £25. Despite it being as busy as it was our food arrived in a timely manner and there was plenty of it, (I don’t take pics of food, so you’ll have to take my word for it!). The only down side for me was the tomatoes were canned ones rather than fresh ones - a minor point and my personal view. It certainly doesn’t rate giving them one less star for that and I’ll return soon.

The sort of place that you'd drive past 5 other cafes to get to.

Amazing service today! Everyone was so friendly and the servers were accommodating. Food was fantastic, and felt so welcome from the moment we walked in. Highly recommend, think we found our new favourite breakfast place! ☺️

I love this place. So friendly and welcoming. It’s always busy but that doesn’t impact on the standard of service or quality you receive. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced.

Excellent quality, best cafe for miles, highly recommend this great English breakfast,

We found this lovely place through Google while killing time before going to Gatwick. What a lovely warm friendly welcome! The friendliness was capable, from the staff and the people using the cafe (a lot of people appear to know each other) - a really lovely feel. Then there's the food. We were surprised by the quality. The breakfast menu is extensive & the quality is far beyond what we expected. This cafe is well presented (even the toilets are clean& fresh!) and the food we had seemed far more upmarket than it's presentation would suggest. Thank you for a lovely lift to our day (after a disastrous start). We are keeping this cafe in mind & may make a point of travelling there just to enjoy the food & atmosphere again

Great breakfast , helpful and friendly staff.

Found by accident when Tully's was shut. Will definitely be back! Good food well priced, great service without being overly attentive. What a gem.

Amazing breakfast, will be back for sure 😊

Always good, always busy at weekend but somehow fast good service no matter how busy. Excellent food whatever you choose.

Great value, fab service, excellent food.

What a great place, 1st class all round.

Great breakfast and friendly staff.

Lovely cafe. Really enjoyed our cooked breakfast here. Decent toast, quality sausages and bacon. Staff really friendly and happy to help. I would go back in a flash.

Popped in here today, wasn’t disappointed lovely breakfast. All reasonably priced and staff all very friendly, will definitely be returning

Fantastic Café on Worth Way! One of the best affordable burgers I've had in a very long time! Hash browns were fried to perfection. The staff is friendly and helpful. Flat white coffee was good!

Nice people and a great breakfast.

I visit these guys once a month and have never been disappointed. I asked the owner today how many covers they do between 8am and midday and he said at least 250. Yet despite this the quality of the food, the quantity of the food and the flipping hard working efficient team make each visit a very welcoming one. Well done team and thanks

Very nice place where you can enjoy a really nice walk through the woods and then just relax at a coffee with a nice view. Nice staff and good food. There is an area where you can park your car free of charge. Not sure exactly how long you can park there though. We stayed around 1.5h and it was ok. You can have a nice walk towards Crawley Down Mill Pound through the woods. Not very busy area. It’s something that we liked also. You can use the bike or just walk. A nice escapade especially in the morning. The coffee shop closes at 14:00 pm though so it’s better to go there in the morning if you want to stop there on your walking break😁

The best breakfast around by far!!! I recommend this place to all friends and family! Keep up the amazing work👏👏

Best place for a delicious food

I was exceptionally early for a work meeting and saw a sign for Centre Cafe and stopped by for coffee and something to eat. I was amazed at how well the food was cooked, the presentation of the food and how friendly and professional the staff were. I took a picture of the food and sent it to a couple of friends at the time. Although located on an industrial estate I will return and drive there out of my way as the experience was so good. Highly recommend - thank you to all the staff for making me feel so welcome and such enjoyable food. I only leave reviews for very good experiences or very bad experiences.

Excellent cafe, brekkie is to die for, well worth a visit.

Amazing breakfast, great staff best breakfast for miles shame its not open on a Sunday

Superb breakfast! Been many many times.. Huge variety of choice.

First Time visit today with friends. We will definitely be returning. Great food and great prices

Amazing & friendly cafe, first class food, everything was so tasty & nicely presented. A great stop if on a walk along The Worth Way. The staff so kindly have donated to a charity fundraiser for a 2 year old little boy too, by offering vouchers for our raffle. This place is OUTSTANDING, A MUST FOR A VISIT.

Great cafe good priced breakfasts and meals the yum yum are to die for

What can I say if you’ve never been your missing out. Staff are amazing food is awesome.

Friendly happy atmosphere. Good price for hot drinks

I've used this cafe a number of times in the past with grate pleasure. Recently the quality of their food has gone down massively,mostly over cooked. A number of times placing an order over the phone found parts of the order missing but have been charged.

No words give this place enough credit. Amazing cafe on the industrial estate. Gorgeous views. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. If you get chance to visit you won't regret. Thank you for making my time more enjoyable.

Always Great food with a great service.

It’s very rare you have a cafe that ticks all the boxes, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across Centre Cafe. When I walked in I was greeted with a warm hello from all the staff and invited to sit down. The hum of people chatting away while enjoying their food served as a great atmosphere. I had a full English breakfast and they were happy to swap ingredients around to a breakfast that suited me best. The food was delicious, the price was very reasonable, so it goes without saying I will be frequenting this place very regularly. Keep up the good work team!

Simply the best cafe around, Martin and the team go above and beyond. The food is impeccable and it’s always delivered with a smile. Not one fault!

Great breakfast. Proper job. Many thanks!

Wonderful food great service always clean can't fault a thing

Food - great Prices - great Dog friendly outside Highly recommended

Top notch food with great friendly staff

Very friendly cafe with excellent freshly cooked food. Bacon Brie and avocado wrap highly recommended, as is full English breakfast. Very good value for money

Best breakfast around. Quality produce, fair prices, smiling service, easy parking. What else could you want

Perfect cafe, loads of choice and always friendly

Martin and the team always do an amazing job 👏

I love this cafe as they have friendly staff, ggod food, and situated in a beatuful place very near the Worth Way from Crawley Down and Turners Hill. The cafe, situated in Rowfant Business Park, caters to, or has a bustling cliental of tradesmen and foot traffic from surrounding footpaths. It serves a wide variety of English staples such as full English (my favorite, the Fuller English) sandwiches, coffees and teas. Staff is expectionally pleasant and greets every customer as the most important person served that day.

Very nice food friendly staff good environment would highly recommend

Lovely place, staff and like 82% of the food was amazing! Personally i disliked the sausages, they had no flavour and were watery. Sorry if I'm a fussy fool 🤦‍♂️

An absolute hidden gem and fantastic little cafe. Service was first class and the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend going!

I was told about this place and decided to visit. Wow. Wasn't disappointed at all. What amazing food and selection on offer. Very busy at times but we'll worth the wait. Shall visit again and the staff are bloody amazing!

All the ingredients used for the fry up were banging!! Best Cafe food outside London or Brighton for sure.

Sitting outside this container-cafe eating warm breakfast baps and drinking coffee in the morning sun with a sweeping view of the field in front. Hard to beat. V friendly service - they treat you like a regular even though it was our first time.

Friendly efficient service and great wholesome food for hungry workers. Highly recommended.

Good cafe , does a great english breakfast plus more

Super cafe, run by super staff. Well worth a visit or three!

Good food quick service friendly staff Resonably priced.

Friendly fast service and enormous breakfast

Recommend the full English...Superb. The sausages are the best. Don't miss out.

Always a treat coming to Centre cafe, the whole family loves it. I could go every day! Friendly staff, good vibe, delicious breakfasts! Best around!!

Good Breakfast. The Omelette i ordered was perfect. Nice Sunny Terrace and friendly staff. Much better then expected.

Always good, go there few times a week.

A great pit stop on a bike 🚴 ride from East Grinstead. Friendly staff and quick service. Good options for kids too.

Best BLTs you will find. Fantastic sausages too.

Nice place to eat and friendly staff

You can't find better Always 100%

Brilliant breakfast, friendly helpful staff. Clean and good price. Recommended.

A great cafe. Proper breakfast, great prices and also good coffee. Love it.

Polite welcoming friendly service

A very nice small little cafe off worth way walking path. I was lucky with the weather. Very friendly staff... Def worth going..

Took my mum here for lunch on way to a hospital appointment in east grinstead. The food was super nice and Service was friendly although the tea was not good unless you like builders tea. I guess i would describe this as a greasy spoon so you can imagine its type of clientele which I wasnt expecting, its very compact inside and was super busy. One thing that put me off was the fact they allowed dogs in. You had to get a key for the toilets which is odd. Would I visit again , maybe but only if it was a lovely day and could sit outside , this is on the wurth way so a possible stop on a bike ride.

What a fantastic cafe. Food top notch and very friendly service. VG prices, full English for just over £8. Highly recommend

Found this place almost by accident when out sightseeing. We believe it’s primarily a working-peoples’ cafe for the adjoining industrial park. We loved this brilliant place - down-home honest real food at great prices and served with a genuine smile. (Visitors from New Zealand).

Should very proud of what this place has achieved first time visiting today and was brilliant friendly staff and lovely food

I've never had a bad anything here. Today's breakfast bowl was delicious and plentiful. Also dog friendly.

Quality food & service, great staff. You won't be disappointed. Fully recommended.

Great food, honestly priced, friendly staff, highly recommend.

Our breakfast was top notch, a proper English cafe experience. Generous portions and delicious. It's really handy for passing Worth Way walkers and riders, but also well worth a drive out just to get a start get the day off to a good start. Thank you team Centre, we will be back

Very welcoming despite being full when we arrived. We were seated after a few minutes. Portions and quality beyond reproach at the price. Tables substantial and very clean (with no sticky coating). Bacon properly (well) cooked with no nasty islands of fat. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. An absolute pleasure.

Beautiful breakfast served by lovely friendly staff, will definitely be returning.

A hidden gem of a cafe with a great selection on the menu to cater for most people. Friendly staff and reasonably prices for quality food. Not your average greasy spoon cafe, freshly cooked, with what tasted to me as fresh ingredients... Can get busy at times, but that just shows how good it is...

Lots more outside seating than before and tables with heating.

Only had a coffee, great service with a smile

✨ A wonderful cafe with lots of tasty options. One of the few in the area to have a real vegan 🌱 option 💪🏻 (pictured opposite of the salmon plate) excellent oat lattes and delicious avocado 🥑. Came here 3 times when we were in the area. Will be back.

Great little place found while out walking, been here 3 times now , delicious food, great friendly staff & very reasonable! Will be looking forward to our next walk.

Made a pit stop during a dog walk. Never been before but definitely the best BLT I’ve had from a cafe or restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Best breakfast bap around. Friendly service and outdoor sitting.

Absolutely amazing breakfast and really friendly staff

Lovely little cafe on a business centre park. Great food, great coffee, great service.👍

Was recommended this place on a friday. Went Saturday morning and have to say one of the best breakfasts I have had.

Lovely covered outdoor seating, efficiently run, tasty freshly cooked food.

Really nice food, good service and reasonable prices

Great breakfast, pipping hot and lovely location

I visited the cafe, for the first time this year with my Family. The service was fantastic with wonderful food to suit all. The Staff were friendly and helpful, to a professional standard. Would recommend to anyone whose visiting the area. 👍🏻

Brilliant place. Yummy food and fab service. Very clean too. We asked for a sausage for our dog and it came out in a separate bowl all cut up. Really recommend this gem of a cafe

Excellent. This is one of my favourite places for a brunch and every now and again, there will be a special on the menu that you just have to order. Service and staff are brilliant. There is always a mix of customers, from dog walkers to workman together enjoying a bite to eat or a brew.
