Hector's Shed in Adur

A very nice little cafe with great coffee and cakes. Its clean and well decorated. It has its own individual style. My only gripe was that the staff were very loud when talking to each other, to the point that there were times I could barely hear my friend I was sitting with.

Fabulous little cafe, staff always helpful, hot food delicious, cakes even more so. I particularly like the blueberry scones as the sweetness comes from the fruit, not from loads of sugar - perfect for a diabetic with a craving for cake!

All home made lovely staff food is brillant.

Great breakfast bap. Friendly place. Cakes also amazing.

Delicious homemade cakes and scones and very friendly staff, a lovely place to stop for a cuppa and something sweet.

Small corner cafe friendly service and freshly produced cakes pastries and sandwiches. The Welsh rarebit was delish

Great corner of town - peaceful, calm, lovely smiley staff and helpful. Great coffee and very nice breakfast brioche. Thank you!

Delicious but embarrassing Brunch! We popped in here on our way from Worthing to Brighton and both had a Seriously Delicious (my words) Breakfast Brioche and mugs of tea. We both concluded they were exceptionally good and good value. We then called out Thank You to the staff and went outside pausing to look in the window at the array of homemade cakes. Then a very friendly face and voice popped their head around the corner and said 'sorry, but have you paid'. We both looked at each other and exclaimed No! I think to my knowledge that is the first time we have done that and something that I will try never to do again as I haven't stopped thinking about it since ! I wouldn't hesitate to go again,if they will have us, when we pass through, as everything looks delicious!

Had the worst sausage sandwich ever. Bland undercooked sausage and even tho I asked for toasted bread, came untoasted. Couldn’t be bothered taking it back as was a carry out, but at least the seagulls enjoyed it.

It’s worth going all the way to Shoreham just for a slice of coffee and walnut cake and the warm welcome. Love this cafe.

Came with a friend for the first time. Only scones available were cheese or blueberry. We both had the blueberry. Very disappointing;not many blueberries and even then only small chopped up pieces as you can see in a photo on another review. So although the scones were fresh they were tasteless.Perhaps that's why the waitress strongly pushed the idea to have them with jam and cream at £2 more.

Smashing cake n cheese scone..lovely staff..looking forward to going back.Well priced

Excellent food ! & riendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Great Little cafe next to the churchyard, always use it when cycling rather than the ones in the pedestrian area.

The coffee & walnut cake and their carrot cake are THE very best. I’ll be back. Husband said it was worth the drive just for the cake let alone a day on the beach. Served by a lovely lady. Such a friendly place. A real gem.

Yummy cakes and excellent decaf coffee. Lovely staff

Still a brilliant place for coffee, cakes, breakfast or brunch....lovely, happy and helpful ladies serving make it great !

Lovely place, best place to visit in Shoreham. Its tucked around the corner from the church yard so away from the busy high street and served the best gluten free cake I've had in a good while, plus it was a proper sized cake!

Thought would stop off for a coffee but found staff to be very rude, cancelled the order and chose a different coffee shop close by. There's many to choose from. won't be a returning local. Manners cost nothing.

Best place for a lattee in Shoreham. And the breakfast wrap is great

Great coffee. Selection of veggie and vegan hot bites. Friendly staff.

Had delicious homemade soup with Rye bread.

Lovely place for a great breakfast. Both had Hector's Breakfast, one was Gluten Free, and we were both impressed. In the best part of town near the church. We'll be back.

Stopped here following a walk on Shoreham beach, and the weather was perfect. Busy little cafe, with limited seating. (3 tables outside & 4 tables inside) Nice array of cakes and savoury options, at reasonable prices. Good drink selection, nice coffee. Young staff were very polite and helpful.

A lovely small cafe, friendly staff and tasty food at a good price. Well worth a visit.

We called in for tea and cake on a chilly Saturday morning. Amazing range of cakes in the window including lovely bread pudding. Downside was that they had no tables but could provide us with takeaway instead

It's always a pleasure to visit Hector's.Treated like a friend.Food and coffee good too.

Lovely sandwiches and cakes. Only downside is small seating area. But the food is very good.

Lovely staff and a great cuppa tea. It's really cosy and friendly and clean and good variety of delicious lunch, brunch dishes.

Long wait when they weren’t even busy, awful cheese scone, ok coffee. Do yourself a favour and go to La Patisserie instead!

Lovely staff. Best Welsh Rarebit ever. Great coffee too. Love sitting outside here and watch the ‘world go past.’

Forget about the bijoux patisseries and fancy bakeries If you want to indulge in delicious scrumptious cakes, this is the place to go.

Lovely cafe and very friendly staff. Cakes are excellent so too are sandwiches, will definitely be returning.

It's so good it should be bigger.

the staff are always rude to me whenever i enter and i always have to wait a very long time before they even ask me what i would like to order.

Popped in for a takeaway coffee and cake. Service was very friendly. I opted for a mocha and a slice of coffee and walnut cake, plus carrot and walnut for my wife. Mocha was really nice, just the write level of flavours. Cakes were good without being great, hence a solid four stars.

Close to the church this quaint little cafe offers a very good range of drinks and cakes etc (homemade), friendly staff, assorted seating both inside and out. They also offer snack lunches (have not tried)

Fantastic homemade cakes and good coffee. Will definitely be back.

Always lovely to spend time in this Café.

What a find, off the beaten track and away from the crowds. Amazing food with lovely friendly service.

We both had cheese scone with cream cheese and onion chutney is was lovely a good price too

Lovely friendly service with a smile

Great service and excellent Capaccino! I only had coffee, but the food looked home- made and other customers appeared to be enjoying it.

Best cheese scones, apart from my own!

Small but no fuss just what you need and very nice people .

Absolutely love that place! Very quirky small bistrot type. The food is always good although i would love to see more dishes like lasagna....only because all is so tasry!!!! But I understand why the "small" menu...the cakes are very tasty and there is a good choice of them.

Good coffee, nice food. Pleasant staff, shame is so small.

A awesome cafe,with wonderful food & great prices - I recommend you visit it when in Shoreham-by-Sea!

Hector's She'd is an absolute delight! The cakes are amazing, as is the coffee, and the ladies there make it so worth a visit! They are so welcoming, and it's a real pleasure to have such a lovely establishment in Shoreham. They even put up with my partner and his sense of humour.....for this they all need medals!!!

Friendly and good cake selection 👌

Excellent breakfast, nice cappuccino.Friendly staff. Cozy venue as quite small. Nice breakfast and cappuccino. Cooked to order. Large selection of cakes.

Hector's is quirky rather than flash. Not a lot of space inside and the staff actively manage what they have when it is busy. Very friendly, dog friendly. Food is simple but good. Coffee and cakes are excellent. I believe there were vegan options.

Nice food , reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

We stopped for a snack and had the pork belly buns. They didn’t take long to make but you could tell they had just been made fresh. They were piping hot and absolutely delicious. We often still mention them and wish we lived close enough to go and get one anytime. Great little restaurant

Although this is a great pub for a drink and obviously very popular for its Sunday roasts, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. I went for the pork belly roast which was generous in proportion but very greasy. My husband had the fish and chips which he said was pretty tasteless considering we were yards from the sea ! Great friendly staff and good atmosphere so would definitley go back and happily drink here.

This cosy cafe is situated on the corner of East Street opposite the stunning ancient church of St Mary de Haura. The friendly staff serve a range of hot and cold drinks including delicious coffee and hot chocolate. The food is cooked to order and includes hearty soups, jacket potatoes with delicious fillings, and outstanding Welsh rarebit. Sandwiches, wraps and salads are also on offer as well as a range of delicious cakes. Vegetarian and Vegan options are also available. Highly recommended.

In this increasingly de-humanised world, Hectors provides a cosy corner of good humoured friendliness. The staff must know fifty customers by name, many of whom return every day. The soups must be the tastiest in Sussex, if not the whole world, and accompanied with avocado and grilled halloumi on rye toast, they make a wonderful meal. Thank you for being such a lovely warm place.

2 visits in 1 week, 1 brunch, 1 breakfast, Amazing food, Superb Drinks, Attentive Staff, Fantastic TY

Recently came into Hector's shed for lunch and can honestly say they have best cake and coffee in Shoreham by far the staff were friendly and it was a great atmosphere would highly recommend to anyone in the area 👍

Wow, Hectors never lets me down. Took my elderly mum there recently, enjoyed the coffee & walnut , Victoria sponge & their legendary bread pudding! Love the chatter from the all female staff, they all make you feel at Home. If your in the area you’ve got to pop in !!

Home cooked food (hmmm - tuna melt - the future of baked potatoes?) home made cakes, good coffee, friendly staff. What's not to like? The indoor space is small, half a dozen tables, maybe, so if it's busy you might have to wait - but it will be worth it. j

Visited here recently. I would never return as I don't think it is appropriate that we should have to sit and listen to staff using the F word and s*** as well as commenting on some person outside the cafe. It is a very small place so very easy to hear loud voices.

I booked a table here as my sister wanted to come here for her belated birthday, my sister said the place is small so perhaps booking a table would be best, thank goodness I did, it is very small I sat down and waited for my sister, my mum and my other sister, the member of staff came over promptly to take a drinks order whilst I wait. My sister, my other sister and my mum arrived, it went down hill from there! We ordered 3 teas and water, only the water and 2 teas turned up, no sign of the other, my sister went up and asked where the other tea was, then nobody came back to take our order so again my sister went up to the counter to put our order in. We waited half an hour for the food, everyone else who came in got there order, my sister again asked how long our food is, I think they forgotten, my other sister and my mum got there order but myself who ordered cake and my sister who's birthday it was didn't receive her food, I wasn't bothered, again my other sister asked where her food was, they completely forgotten hers, 45 minutes later it arrived and she had to quickly eat it and go as she had to go. The staff were non apologetic and rude. Such a shame because the cakes are nice. I don't think I'll come again, I expect better and that wasn't what we wanted

I came here with my Mum on Saturday and we enjoyed a lovely brunch. We had never tried this quaint little cafe before, despite frequently visit Shoreham. The staff were very welcoming and the service was ace! I would highly recommend this cafe.

Love this cafe. Staff are always friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. All the food is good but the bread is gorgeous. Coffee and hot chocolate are totally recommended. Love it!

I saw a bad review on trip advisor, and had to respond. I've eaten here on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. The coffee is top notch. The cakes are to die for, and the food, all quality local produce, never disappoints. The place is totally unpretentious and the staff, without exception are brilliant. They are attentive and not only do they listen to your requests, they do their best to meet them. If you want to photograph your food, rather than eat it, this place might not be for you.

Coffee poor quality, overcooked fried up and staff audibly bad mouthing previous customers. A shame as this used to be quite a good cafe.

Great coffee, homemade cakes and freshly prepared food. Catering for vegetarians too. Great filling food.

Quite different from all the other cafes in the town. Much more personal and good value with delicious home made cakes and scones and a great choice of oven baked potatoes with toppings, sandwiches, Welsh rarebit, wraps, etc to eat in or outside as well as takeaway. Very friendly staff and quirky. Whilst the coffee lacked flavour (not tried the CBD blend) it was compensated by the good humour, friendly atmosphere and empathy with their customers. No facilities, not good for pushchairs, but dogs are welcome.

Great vegan offering at this charming rustic cafe. Delicious cakes too. Pleasant staff, just a shame no toilets!

Good food, dog friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely toasties and milkshakes. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!!!

We come to Shoreham now and again and always head for this little, dog-friendly cafe. We always enjoy a lovely lunch with a nice strong mug of tea, served by friendly and efficient staff.

This is a nice cafe in Shoreham. Good food & drink, seating outside.

Wonderful salad bowl. Will be back for more . Bought some farm eggs too The cakes look fantastic but,on a diet

Great cafe, super food and coffee, friendly staff.

Does a good vegan chocolate cake

Great coffee and cakes. Such a friendly place.

This small by perfectly formed Cafe serves excellent food, catering for Vegan, Veggies and all customers whatever their preferences. Sandra makes the most amazing cakes, scones and other tantalising food to eat in or takeaway. Me, I’m addicted to her bread pudding which is terrible for the waistline but once a week I like a treat. A friendlier place would be very hard to find, all of the girls are great.

A happy hut they always make you welcome and make really good cakes and bread pudding they welcome your dog and children a real family business

Lovely welcoming place. They welcome friendly dogs too which is a great plus. Highly recommended.

Great cakes - pastries & coffee eat in or take away

The Rotary Club of Shoreham and Southwick had their Christmas Charity Fair on 27th November at The Centre, Shoreham by Sea. The caterers let us down and Hector's Shed stepped in and made many of the Stallholders and Rotarians delicious sandwiches. It was a very cold day and we are so grateful for your support and sustenance! And they made a donation to our Charity. Hectors Shed....You are great!

Love this little cafe, really friendly staff, great food, often pop in for a take out coffee & sandwich. Highly recommended

Such lovely staff. Well prepared food and lovely hot coffee

Came across Hector's Shed and the two lovely ladies running it whilst wandering the backstreets of Shireham one Sun afternoon. Spotted the window full of amazing looking cakes and suddenly felt the urge for a cup of tea and cake. Had the ginger cake with a hint of lemon and oh my god it was seriously good, in fact I think the best ever. Full of ginger flavour that was perfectly balanced by the lemon. Oh yes and soooooooo moist! Whoever baked this is a total alchemist. Absolutely perfect - highly recommended for all cake aficionados! PS saw what others were eating and that looked good too. Definitely coming back, great find!

Came here today with my mum for a spot of lunch. We had 3 bean chilli and bacon and brie jacket potatoes with lattes. Food was very delicious and the staff are so friendly. Will be back again to try something else!

Came here on Saturday lunchtime with my mum. Managed to get a table inside. The lovely friendly waitress came over straightaway to clear and clean the table and left us with menus to study. We opted for two mugs of 'proper' tea. Followed by a jacket potato with tuna and red onion and I had the Infamous Vegan Bowl. It was freshly prepared so took a little while to arrive but it was well worth the wait. There was so much in the bowl and I can't begin to list it all. I added chicken but it really wasn't needed. There was so much that I had to take some of it home in a takeaway box. Compliments to the chef! The jacket potato was also declared delicious. I would heartily recommend. The waitress was very obliging and saved us two of their homemade sausage rolls to take away and these are also very good.

Just had a wonderful coffee and Welsh Rarebit on toast at Hector's She'd. So yummy, and really good zeevuce!

We waited 30 minutes for a cheese toastie and the cake was awfully dry we couldn’t swallow all of it.

Just moved to shorehambysea, & all my neighbours mentioned Hectors shed. A beautiful quirky corner shop with such friendly staff. We had Lemon drizzle, carrot cake & courgette & lime cake. Couldn’t believe how good these cakes were, & so much more available!. Cappuccino &...

A great little cafe. Good quality drinks and cake to die for (especially the Raspberry Cake & Bakewell Cake). Service is prompt, attentive, and very friendly. It may be further back from the main front road, but definitely recommend the extra two minutes walk!

Lovely little place to eat,friendly staff very welcoming,, and dog friendly, food is lush,

My auntie bought some lemon drizzle cake to take away, amazing cake, so light and fluffy and tasted amazing. Staff so friendly, We'll worth the walk to Hector's shed . Wish I had known about this shop when I first came down.

Love this place small and perfectly formed Food is delicious. Friendly for people and dogs! Regular coffee and recommend their "veggie bomb" breakfast Although with current pandemic restrictions may not be available. We'll worth supporting this local small business.

Outstanding, so helpful with honest, friendly and delicious food.
