Grounded At The Forge in Lewes

Lovely cafe, with good food, atmosphere and customer service. We very much enjoyed our visit and were even given a little birthday treat. Makes all the difference.

Stopped here yesterday for brunch en route to Sheffield Park. I had the bacon sarnie and my husband had New York bagel. Both excellent - bacon with no fat in fresh bread with freshly prepared lettuce and tomato, and my husbands New York bagel was fabulous. A little gem of a place with excellent staff who are passionate about what they do, and wonderful food. We’ll be back.

Lovely cafe with fresh, delicious food. Relaxed, comfy and a lovely feel to the place inside and out. The staff are lovely and make a effort to really get to know their regulars. I quickly felt at home after a couple of visits but go regularly with my dog. ( dog friendly) would recommend the Welsh rarebit, best I have ever had.

Great location and service, we have homemade pancakes with bacon and lashings of maple syrup and a quiche salad with excellent! Great service and very dog friendly with outside space

This gem is an absolute credit to the owner who has brought this little gem of a place to Ringmer. The coffee and food is of a high standard as is the service. Just a really chilled out place to go. They have started to do food evenings with visiting vans of quality food. Highly recommended

We popped into this quirky cafe for breakfast one rather nippy day. It was quite cool inside as well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There were some tempting sweet treats on offer but we went a bit more traditional. My wife had a bacon bagel while I had a topless bagel which was the top and bottom of the bagel with bacon and eggs on both bits. The bacon was really crispy which, to my mind, is perfect. The eggs were suitably runny. It's not a typical cafe but well worth a visit.

Fabulous building. Warm welcome…really lovely staff. Great ambiance…lovely buzz in there. Fabulous menu. We were there for brunch to break up a journey. Both dishes were SUPERB! I had egg/cheese crumpets…completely delicious! Jane had potato waffle with bacon, lettuce and tomato…equally delicious! Great coffee too. Superb place. Wholly recommend.
