Courtyard Cafe in Rother

This is our first visit since the new owners took over, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast, the staff were extremely friendly. We looked at their Sri lankan menu and will definitely be going back one evening to try it.

Lovely food and staff. Delicious roast dinner last Tuesday. Real gravy! Great menu with lots of different things to choose including cooked breakfasts and a wide variety of cooked lunch options. Good value for money too. Will be back again to try something different soon.

I was looking for somewhere to have a quick meal in Bexhill and was surprised by the interesting Ceylon courtyard Sri Lankan menu here, Very much enjoyed a delicious meal served in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff.

Lovely breakfast and friendly owners. However, cleanliness is an issue. Tables sticky and crumbs not cleaned up. Floors dirty and toilets are filthy with a disgusting wash basin.

Stopped for a coffee not food so can’t rate that. I have been roasting coffee for 3 years and their Cappuccino was as good as I make at home. I have not found a cafe that can do that for years. Highly recommend.

Replying to the previous response from the owner: I did not notice the smell in my hair and on my clothes until I got home, hence why I didn't say anything when I was in the cafe. The smell does not bother my partner hence why he hasn't complained. But it really does bother me. You say that it is impossible for the smell to travel and get stuck to people, implying that I'm lying, yet every single time he eats there he comes home smelling of a deep fat fryer and he doesn't eat anywhere else after, nor is he around any oil. I'm not trying to offend anyone. Just asking if there could be some kind of ventilation at the front where people sit. You also came across as quite rude in your response which was unfair. I'm not making it up. I am autistic and I have sensory issues. I would not lie about this.

Probably the best breakfast in Bexhill town centre ? Loads of options and they are always more than happy to exchange items. Comfy seating and decent sized tables , very cheerful and friendly welcome. Excellent.

We really enjoyed delicious cooked breakfasts. Yummy crisp fried bread and delicious crunchy hash browns, perfect poached egg and great bubble and squeak. The chef seems like a master of the Full English. Lovely omelette too. We will definitely be back

What a lovely cafe, good food and a good price, very friendly

Amazing little cafe! Friendly staff, lovely food and amazingly priced. Will definitely return! :)

Food is great. Nice atmosphere. My favorite place for breakfast

Really delicious food with great portions and friendly helpful service. Good prices - value for money. Relaxed atmosphere and a lovely late lunch was had by us. Recommended without question.

Always a wonderful friendly welcome, Elle remembers the drink I have and within minutes I have, the food Ian cooks is excellent always freshly cooked. I highly recommend this cafe, I have food allergies and both Elle & Ian accommodate these with ease. You will not be disappointed so please visit and see for yourself that customer service is of paramount importance to this lovely cafe.

Good honest food served by good honest friendly people. Really good portions at a very good price, a friendly welcoming atmosphere and dogs welcome as a bonus. I would definitely recommend this Cafe. The jacket potato was really good 👍

Went in for breakfast this morning Owners so nice and friendly Food was beyond amazing we will definitely come here again next time we are in town

Tried to visit when it was open but was closed ? Walked all the way there for it to be shut. Not very helpful.

Reheated bacon and sausage, rancid mushrooms from a filthy frypan, dirty toilets, rude service and a stink of electrical insulation burning.

My husband and I have lived in Bexhill for years and have walked passed the courtyard cafe but have never been inside. We decided to give it ago and my only regret is that we should have done it much much sooner. A first class, warm and friendly service with a smile and a great sense of humour. Delicious, hot food and propery builders tea. My husband and I had a small Veggie breakfast which we both thoroughly enjoyed and a portion of pancakes between us. We will most definitely be back!

Fantastic place, really friendly, super food

Delicious home cooked breakfast. Try the bubble and squeak, fantastic. Really friendly service too. Lovely couple who run it 😀

Had a delicious breakfast, beautifully cook by such a happy friendly couple . Would highly recommend. Good price , we had the set breakfast Sausage bacon egg mushrooms beans or tomatoes served with hot buttered toast and tea .

Food was amazing, had a cheese and ham toastie, so much filling. Staff were friendly. Cant wait to visit again

Have had breakfast here twice in the last three weeks. Both times the food and service were excellent and there is a good choice of items on the menu. Shall return and do recommend to all.

Proud to be a regular here - fantastic food - great choice all cooked to perfection and friendly owners who look after you. Love the breakfast and the lunch all beautifully cooked and presented - highly recommended

Enjoyed a lovely English breakfast here today. Spoilt for choce. The food is amazing. The staff are absolutely lovely.. The bubble and squeeze is delicious. I will be back again for sure.

Lovely food with friendly owners Ian and Ellie - wonderful Full English, lunches, milkshakes and ice cream sundaes to die for - I'm a regular here - highly recommended.

We always get great friendly service from Ellie who is very considerate towards childrens needs and goes out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We have set breakfasts and love the fresh bubble and squeak. Ian is a great chef who clearly enjoys keeping his customers happy and makes sure that the kids food is not nuclear hot and is a manageable portion. Best breakfast in Bexhill by far. Can’t wait to get back inside.

Nice friendly staff lovely quiet private garden out the back to sit and have a coffee

Full English breakfast delivered to our door. Deliciously cooked and extremely generous helpings. Very friendly staff and punctual. Very good value. Huge variety. Certainly made a fabulous start to the day for my husband’s lockdown birthday. Very grateful. Couldn’t fault it!

Excellent little cafe in Bexhill. Had build your own breakfast that was tasty and hot. Friendly staff too!

Excellent friendly cafe, great breakfast and home made steak pie. Very good

Now there are lots of places in Bexhill for a coffee or snack, but this is one of the best and you always get a warm welcome from the owner. There is also a wide choice of dishes and you can get anything from a full blown fry-up to egg on toast and you won't pay a fortune, as the prices are very reasonable.

Friendly atmosphere and great food at a great price. Only cafe in Bexhill I use.

I have visited here many times and have always had absolutely delicious meals each time. I had the Steak and Stilton pie, my favourite from here, and a friend had a All day breakfast. Cooked to perfection! It is very inviting and friendly here and i love the decor. Absolutely need to try if you want a traditional home cooked meal. Well recommended

Friendly helpful and nice breakfast

Liked it. Basic but good food . Expensive though

We had a lovely breakfast here! Great service from Ellie :) very professional yet friendly atmosphere! Great coffee and lovely outdoor seating area! 10/10 service. Would recommend if you are in the are!

Great food and service! Following measures for Covid by having hand sanitiser at entry and also taking mobile number and name for track and trace

Friendly owners specialise in good breakfasts.

Love going to this place with my daughter and pooch. Such friendly kind staff.. excellent service..

Decent cafe.friendly service,food came hot unlike some other cafes.defo recommend

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and good prices. Penang curry was delicious. Will definately visit again.

Yet another great lunch at this lovely café, always so friendly and welcoming, wonderful atmosphere where everyone says hello the moment you walk in.... We both had one of the all day breakfasts... excellent choice... Recommend to anyone who hasn't visited thank you both 😁

Very nice place to eat good food at good prices very frendly staff

This lovely little cafe is brilliant 😉 the food is delicious and the owners and staff are extremely helpful and accommodating We visit regularly and had our Christmas dinner there too Best Christmas dinner I’ve had in years Highly recommend 😋

Breakfast ok but expensive with tea and coffee extras on most breakfast. Cafe was empty which says a lot

Nice cup of tea and tea cake. Good value. Very clean toilets. Beautiful budgerigars Lovely waitress.

Amazing!we had Christmas day lunch at this wonderfully place.. absolutely excellent food.. superb service.. and a wonderfull genuine Christmas atmosphere..well done all.. we will be booking for Christmas 2020..thank you🎄🎅

Great breakfast, dog friendly, lovely people

'The food was freshly cooked. Nice fresh vegetables and lovely mash potatoes. The gravy was just how I like it and plenty of it. Every day well cooked food

Called in here today with a friend for lunch. Had an excellent freshly cooked meal, both of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely use this establishment again

Popped with Milo my small dog for a late breakfast. Very good service, even gave Milo a bed to sit on rather than the laminate floor. Food very good.

Cheerful service, everything is freshly prepared and cooked.

Popped in for a breakfast one Tuesday morning. Always believe in supporting a local cafe, pity that there was only one other couple there. A great tasting breakfast,with toast and tea, served promptly and efficiently by a happy smiling waitress. Definitely value for money. Looking at the menu, the deals for a lunch looked very appetising as well. The place looked nice and clean with a welcoming feel about it. A friendly chatty 'bird' helped make a good atmosphere. If I could fault anything, a bit of hygiene care was needed on the condiments. I would recommend this cafe and return as well.

EXCELLENT home-made chicken and ham pie and broccoli and Stilton quiche with fresh, home-cooked vegetables. First-class meal.

Very friendly and homely cafe. Food is cooked by the chef and is all freshly prepared. Lovely friendly proprietor and a good menu for a small cafe. Toasted sandwich was beautifully presented and tasted great and was plentiful. The place was lovely and we really felt comfortable and st home. Excellent value for money and ticked all the boxes. Also had a delightful outside courtyard , lovely to sit in on a warm afternoon. Would highly recommend it , and you wouldn't be disappointed! Thanks for the experience.

Does not open Sunday despite advertised hours. Waste of time. Get your online presence sorted.

Had lovely breakfast this morning good quality produce friendly staff

Good service and food or good value

First visit here today with my daughter. Very welcoming and good food.

If you want a delicious breakfast you will not be disappointed. The food is good and very reasonably priced. The place is clean and well presented and there is a pleasant garden. However, we were really surprised at the poor service and surly attitude we found there.

You can’t fault the cleanliness and the warm welcome here.Lots of breakfast choice, poached eggs were good, I think they were done in a mould rather than free flow, but nice enough. I didn’t realise they butter the toast first, in future I’ll ask for it to be crispy and butter it myself as it was a bit soggy as buttered hot. Guess that was my fault for not thinking, and they wouldn’t have minded me asking I’m sure.Coffee was good.Garden looked nice, colourful and clean.Dog friendly.

Lovely cafe with a gorgeous little garden at the back. Really warm and friendly people, one of my favourite places in Bexhill.

First visit to this cafe... Menu looked yummy, friendly greeting, and the breakfasts we had were great. The table was sticky with sugar spilled on it, had not been properly wiped over, a jug of milk obviously from yesterday by the skin on the top! Was also amongst the condiments. The floor was not clean either, needed a good sweep and mopping. Would go again hoping the cloth and mop had made an appearance.

Lovely quirky interior. Lovely, friendly owners who serve up a decent breakfast, while you're listening to the twitterings of Jerry and Josie, the resident Budgies.

Had breakfast here yesterday, opens nice and early, friendly staff and lovely food

It was a bright but frosty Friday morning in January and we were at a loose end so we decided to take a drive to Bexhill. It’s a favourite of ours as is the Courtyard Cafe where you can always be sure of a warm, friendly welcome. That Friday was no different. These guys give off a really welcoming vibe from the moment you walk through the door. Service is always excellent and the fixed price Menu of the Day is always great value. We started with an absolutely superb parsnip and leek soup each followed by chilli con carne with rice and home-made beef stew. Warm cafe, warm service, piping hot food! Price with a tea and a coffee? - £23. What’s not to like? You’d not get better food in a posh restaurant at 3 times the price! Brilliant!

They can be friendly but if they are familiar with your face can be quite rude other than that a very nice place to be

Very friendly service and good freshly cooked food. Outdoor area is fantastic for sunny breakfasts.

I visited here a few times whilst I was heavily pregnant and unable to cook breakfast but had a craving for fried bread! It’s one of the few places in Bexhill that opens early for breakfast and that’s how we stumbled across it.

Nice and clean booked for Christmas Dinner, lovely people

Second time here tried the bubble and squeak very nice I walk past two cafes to get here well worth the walk

Well what can I say but yum went for breakfast this morning and it was fantastic all piping hot very good lots of choices I will go back for sure probably the best breakfast in town

We’re not exactly regulars at the Courtyard Cafe. Regulars here are people who eat there several times a week. We tend to go there maybe monthly when we pick a nice sunny day to enjoy the prom in Bexhill and enjoy a nice, tasty, great value for money lunch at the Courtyard.

This is a great cafe to visit, whether you want one of their fabulous breakfasts (a big choice), a lunch (again, a really good selection on offer and every week they have specials which change so always different options) or a quick coffee and cake.

As a local I’m always popping in the courtyard, and it’s brilliant.

This is my new favourite place to go with my mum for lunch. Fantastic food which we can find no fault with. Great value, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Stopped for lunch at approx 12.50. Ordered 2 banana milkshakes but they had run out! After about 25 mins waiting we asked if we could order but were told we had to wait another 10 mins as they were busy and chef was snowed under. Three more tables filled. One table asked another waitress if she could take their order and she said she'd be back.

We never got to eat the food! It was quite busy but several spare tables. The waitress took our drinks order after 5 minutes but told us they only had 2 individual milkshakes left out of the 3 flavours available which seemed rather strange so we had one milkshake and a coffee.

Had breakfast here on a business meeting food was absolutely great, very reasonable prices and friendly service will use again

What a wonderful find, I happened upon this wonderful food cafe after walking around getting to know the area, there a quite a few places to have coffee, cakes and meals but not like this one.

Good food at a good price, lovely to sit outside in the courtyard

Had a lovely freshly cooked breakfast with toast and coffee. For a very reasonable price. Waitress ( owner ) was very friendly and efficient. A very nice experience over all. Will visit again soon

This is the first time we have had lunch here , there were three of us and we all had different meals each one was perfect I must say I had the steak pie with veg and mashed potatos the gravey was lovely very unusual for me but I cleared my plate. We also had breakfast on our last day it was perfect even though I had the small one it lasted me all day we will certainly go back again .

We simply L-O-V-E the Courtyard Cafe, visiting here for lunch so often now that we actually get recognised! Well, as we had an old boy in finishing off decorating our living room, we decided to disappear to Bexhill really early for us, to do some shopping and enjoy the sunny morning on the beach. After doing the essential shopping bit, we decided to breakfast at the Courtyard Cafe, a delight we had so far not managed to achieve. I ordered the MEGA.....a 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 egg, 2 hash browns, baked beans, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and toast and butter costing an amazing £8.95. My wife was far more restrained with her sausage sandwich on brown bread. 2 lovely white coffees to wash it all down. Total bill about £17 I think.....but little did the bill matter. I have now found the cafe serving the breakfast par excellence! This really was SIMPLY THE BEST. All beautifully presented on a massive square plate (it needed to be massive to accommodate this MEGA breakfast). The sausages were really superb which is often what sorts out the men from the boys. Not fatty and made of some indistinguishable beast but rather a tasty, substantial sausage that had a real meaty texture. My praise for whoever sources these and I’d love to know where they’re from so I can buy some and cook them at home. The MEGA is not only the tastiest but also the most substantial breakfast I’ve ever known. Now I was waxing lyrical about the Kitchen in Thorpeness that I wrote about last week. That was a SUPERB breakfast 99/100, a real ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ feast of a meal. But it was £10.95.......and at the Courtyard Cafe the MEGA is £8.95. So that’s gotta be 99.99/100 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕➕➕. The staff here are really friendly, nothing is too much. The service is prompt and efficient and the coffee really very very good. And the price.....what more could you ask? This was a breakfast to go back and experience again and again. I can’t wait for the curtain shop to ring us and tell us our curtains are ready for collection. I’ll be outside revving the engine waiting for my wife to catch up and get in. I’ll have to watch my speed down the A21 or I’ll get a ticket..... So if you want the breakfast that now beats them all, on all levels, call by the Courtyard Cafe next time you’re in Bexhill and I can guarantee that you’ll be amazed,astounded, thrilled to bits, in rapture over the incredibly generous serving..........enough.... just try it. Satisfaction GUARANTEED!

Had a lovely omelette with a salad. Food was lovely very friendly service . Will go again when in the area. Thanks x

Good food and lovely people. Has a hide-away garden.

Dreadful dirty cups the meal made us both ill never again.

We went (a group of 6) for lunch on a Friday. Warm welcome, prompt service. A great menu with everything from a snack to light bites and bigger dishes. We opted for “2 courses for £7.95” - I had Roast Chicken as my main. It was a plump, juicy chicken breast with veg and crispy roast potatoes.... my wife had the veggie burger which she said was great. We shared a pud (apple crumble and custard) and glad we did - it was enormous..... service is friendly and super efficient. The hosts are genuinely pleased to see you and make you feel very welcome. The food is “proper home cooked”.... and at a price point that you can’t help but be impressed.

Was on a mini trip to Bexhill today nice breakfast tasty hot plate hot toast hot tea good service plus newspapers on the tables nice touch ,,,,and a good price

Great cooked breakfast. Quiet relaxing atmosphere. Good service. Reasonably priced.

excellent food and service Ellie and Ian are fantastic people food is excellent breakfasts amazing plenty of food and plates hot which in some cafes are not coffee is great and the music is great wen ur having breakfast keep going back

Really nice food and a great bunch of people who serve u with smile x

We just keep going back to this place time and time again.

Small but very friendly & food is good. 😊

We are regular visitors to Bexhill on sunny days, taking an opportunity to enjoy the sea air along the prom, do a bit of shopping and grab a bit of lunch out. Ah those simple pleasures! Bexhill has loads of good places that we’ve eaten at over the past few years but, not wishing to be predictable, we decided to try the Courtyard Cafe in Western Road. Reviews have been on the whole good though there were recent comments about staff abruptness. We stopped by at about 1pm and were asked to find a table and they’d come to us to take our order. We perused the menu, including a very attractive set lunch menu for £7.95 for 2 courses or £9.95 for 3. - excellent value. But I opted for a chilli con carne jacket potato and my wife chilli con carne with rice. The waitress came after a few minutes, took our order and appeared again with our drinks a few minutes later. She was polite, helpful (offering to top up my pot of tea for one when I was ready) and efficient. The food was very good, tasty and good quality for the price. When we’d finished our mains, she collected our plates and asked politely if we’d like sweets and laughed when we said we’d love to but won’t! The bill for the food, a pot of tea and an ice-cold Diet Coke came to £15.15 which is excellent. This place is, after all, a cafe and not a restaurant. It’s ideal for quick, home-cooked lunchtime grub. It’s not the sort of place that offers Steak Diane or flambes at your table! Good, honest, tasty food at reasonable prices served quickly and efficiently and with a smile.

The food was good but the rest wasn't. The waitress approached me practically the second I sat down and asked what I wanted to order, I hadn't had a chance to look at the menu! She came back a second time only a couple of minutes later when I was obviously still reading the menu. The knife was filthy. The sign outside said 'all
