Lakeside Horam in Wealden

Friendly people, we go there when my partners daughter is at horse riding sometimes. The only downside is that the coffee tastes like instant from a machine. I really wish they would upgrade to a bean to cup coffee machine.

Very nice food. Excellent service very polite staff.

Really enjoyed my first visit. The food was excellent, arriving promptly after ordering. I was so hungry and the ultimate roast chicken dinner so appetising I completely forgot to take pictures of the food. Oh well gives me a reason to go back which I was planning to do anyway. Excellent venue, great setting, good service and great food. I am already planning to return.

A small dish of chips £5...Got even more expensive...

Good service, good basic food. Nice seating outside. Easy but limited parking.

Really good, not my first visit and won't be my last

Another update:- 16/06/2024 This is a fabulous place. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. It gets busy, so booking is recommended. I went here with a friend and my grandaughter. I had rustic burger and chunky chips. Very nice food and coffee, nothing short of the ordinary. The puddings are amazing too. Update:- Mother's Day. They are understandably fully booked, so I sat outside in the Love Shack and had a coffee. Lovely to hear such happy chatter and laughter whilst the staff were getting the dining area prepared for what I imagine will be a very busy afternoon. I hope they will be thanked and appreciated by the diners. If you enjoy tasty, hot, delicious food, served with a smile, this is your place. Beautiful setting and a licensed bar with seating outside. I love their delicious ice cream - palm oil free too. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Lovely cafe/pub. Limited opening hours. Lovely views.

Sitting outside in summer with nice food can’t be beaten. Lakeside’s cafe is welcoming and covers all bases nicely.

A very lovely place to eat, with picturesque surroundings. Fantastic

A lovely little place tucked away in Horam for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or even afternoon tea. Friendly service and loved the rocky road tiffin.

We eat after riding next door. Friendly helpful staff, great food!! 👍

Came in for lunch, I had the chillie con carne, was fantastic. Decent prices as well as nice latte. Recommended

Great place. Traditional Farm and stables with a cool bar / food place.

Ate here with 5 girls after their horse riding and, although quite expensive, food great and staff wonderful

Lunch after daughters riding lesson

Really tasty meal with great cake afterwards. Very good sized portions too. The staff were all lovely and couldn't be more helpful!

Had a fabulous meal here. Food was excellent, as was the service.

Food is very delicious 😋 Service very lovely and friendly

Nice friendly staff, lovely location, good food

Had a lovely time here with my Mum and our kids.

Lakeside, Horam. Wonderful café. Kind, helpful staff. Very dog friendly! Nice latte. Easy parking. Outside seating area! Highly recommended. Great for a catch up!

Lovely sanctuary for food after a long day on the bikes, great service and very tasty grub, would recommend

Great place lovely setting fantastic food with good choice and owner was really nice too not totally wheel chair friendly though. Parking is OK not a huge amount of it but enough

Nice cafe good food friendly and helpful staff

Was greeted by a really friendly waitress. We sat down and was served promptly with some really nice produce. Staff were really friendly and will definitely go again. The carvery looked awesome, too. There's a bar there which looked well stocked. It's always busy, but that doesn't seem to affect the wait times which is great. They also have live music there on some weekends so I think I will probably go back and check that out

Nice place to stop for a coffee if you are out and about

The food is delicious but the coffee is terrible. Probably, the worst espresso I've ever had. The place is really nice.

Brilliant, excellent food, a definite visit.

Stopped for a cuppa, and upon paying realised why we don’t frequent this place: 2 average mugs of tea at the cost of £4.40! Had this have been a pot of tea for two from which we would have got a few cups it wouldn’t have been so bad BUT £2.20 for a cheap tea bag mug of tea in my opinion is too much and not in line with other local places! No prices on the cakes, presumably because these are completely over-priced, and in any case there was a very limited choice!

Attended a funeral wake there. First time visit.

Food well overpriced for what it is

Had the Scooby doo Burger, which was amazing, will definitely go back.

Lovely spot. Fantastic food and service. A very relaxing breakfast.

Stopped here for a glass of wine on a day out, was lovely sitting outside in the sunshine, great environment and food looked great - will be back to try! Very friendly staff! Big shout out to the guys that helped us with our bike when we realised we had a flat tyre - big thank you!!

Great food good coffee ☕ beautiful view had a nice relaxing breakfast will be back. Very soon

Food has gone downhill , all breakfasts came out cold , eggs were raw and had missing items. It was only when they asked if they could clear the plates that we was asked if all of it was ok.. still not having had the missing items we mentioned when the plates come out. Wasn't a busy day so no reason to cause the delays or cold food.

I love this place. A rustic shack, to have a beer, milkshake and some food. Just perfect for relaxing in the sun.

We had a drink outside with friends. Didn't know it existed but was a great find

Mac n cheese the best I've had served in garden with good kids play area overlooking fishing lake.

Great mug of tea while the kids ran about

A great setting and extensive menu. Three out of four had excellent food, chicken wrap, macaroni cheese and cheesy chips with a sausage 😋 Unfortunately I drew the short straw with an egg mayonnaise sandwich, tasty, but not worth £6.50 compared to the other food, hence only 4 stars.

Stopped in as not been for a while, friendly welcoming atmosphere, good tunes, even better brekkie.

We really like this restaurant.

Family visit, Sunday Lunch treat. Great food, excellent friendly, helpful staff and the atmosphere created by music selected by the owner (popular music from the 60's and 70's on this occasion) brought a warm, non intrusive, upbeat background to a very much enjoyed couple of hours We will most definitely be back. Thank you Lakeside. gary c.

The best place in Horam to get something to eat.

A regular visit for us, always lovely food, especially the carvery on a Sunday. Reasonably priced. A really friendly atmosphere and the staff are fantastic. Highly recommended

Went in for a breakfast, was greeted by a lovley lady. Ordered the 3 musketeers with a hot Choclate topped with cream.. Food was served quickly and fresh to order. Everything was cooked perfectly even a lovley runny egg yolk. Toast was slightly cold though. Hot Choclate was yummy! Music was slightly too loud for 9.30 in the morning. But otherwise great atmosphere. Would go back again.

Waitress wasn't very good at listening had to correct her three times pricey for what you get food was good could have been excellent.

Nice place for something to eat and drink. Nice place for walks down the fishing lakes.

The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was fabulous.

Good lunch and drinks selection, kids playground in the garden too to keep them entertained

Had a lovely meal here, started with sharing platter and then had belly pork with bubble and squeak delicious and very reasonably priced

Fantastic breakfast, we will return

Went for breakfast earlier this week which was nice. We returned for lunch yesterday and... wow 👏 🤩 The portions were humongous!! And the food was top notch. We've never been anywhere where we haven't been able to finish our meals due to the amount served! I did finish all mine as it was mostly salad, but my son and mother had to ask for takeaway boxes to take half their meals home!! I had the Scampi and Caper salad, I was expecting a little serving of side salad with a few scampi and potatoes on the side.... when it arrived I was really impressed with the amount on the plate and how it was presented 😮 It looked visually exciting and there was alot of scampi. Mum had the monster brunch with an add on of black pudding. Monster is an understatement 😂 And they gave her two rounds of black pudding, they certainly don't skimp on portions!! My son had ham egg and chips and again, absolutely crammed on the large plate and the ham was excellent quality. When they asked to take the rest home there was no fuss or embarrassment, the server was more than happy to make it possible. Which brings me to the staff. A really lovely young lady took our order at the counter, she was so friendly, giggly and polite and the young gentleman waiting the tables was a really lovely chap, he was bubbly, polite, energetic, smiley and nothing was too much trouble! To the extent that he made it his mission to valiantly decommission a rogue wasp who was intent on terrorising my mother 😂 Owners take note, give that lad a raise he's a huge asset to your establishment. The beautiful view of the trees over the lake is an added bonus. An all round lovely mid day dining experience. The pictures don't do the food justice, the plates are twice the size of normal household plates and they were full to the rims!!

Friendly staff, great food, lovely setting, highly recommend

We booked a group for a pre wedding evening meal. We were very pleased with the service, quality and quantity of food. Everyone in the group was very impressed with this venue. The costs were very reasonable and portion sizes good.

Lovely to discover this cafe, lovely well cooked breakfast with a lovely walk after

Petit café trop sympa pour déguster un petit-déjeuner anglais. Accueil chaleureux

Very tasty food, but WOW is it expensive ! .The woman who I think is the wife of the owner, is THE rudest and most patronising person I have ever met. We visited twice whilst staying on the campsite and on both occasions she was terrible !! She clearly had her favourite customers and made this abundantly clear too ! My tip is for her to have a career change and go do a job where she does not need to communicate with anyone !

Quantity of food and variety is the only thing letting this charming cafe down a little. Otherwise superb.

Had breakfast quite nice not bad value

Lovely food! Great café - good atmosphere!

Popped in for hit drinks and a snack. Warm welcome and quick service

Lovely place to walk dogs and for 🐟

Tight portions of breakfast items filled by mountain of chips even the so called builders breakfast comes with one sausage.

Great place to go for food and drinks at a good price also good fishing available.

Lovely day out. Pretty countryside great food.

Lovely setting but lacking food quality, would expect local meat etc as its based on a farm. Coffee is from a vending machine. Weirdly there is a heated ounter next to the bar warning joints of meat and potatoes and a very starey guy standing behind it constantly looking at us while we ate our breakfast. Has so much potential to be an awesome place.

Really nice food and set in some lovely countryside.

Decent pub grub, nice outside space

The lakes were more like ponds and the breakfast was more like lunch. It's a strange world

Lakeside Horam is a very pleasant cafe / restaurant serving food and drink. There are both indoor and outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. It is next to the fishing lakes plenty with of parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely little cafe ! A goat and some horses :) a lovely lake .. brilliant views to enjoy a coffee amd some cheeky chips :) Wonderful placen

Lovely place for food and drinks, the burgers are amazing

Best breakfast bap ever! Really friendly staff too. 👍

Amazing little cafe/pub to visit for a while! Dog friendly and has a little kid's playarea. Great to grab a bite or have breakfast/lunch/dinner at. Staff are very kind and patience. It has a fishing pond near it and very good to have a break at.

Lovely little cafe/pub, excellent food and gorgeous scenery

Really enjoyed a drink here after a walk in the nature trail. Very friendly staff really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed our breakfast here. Nice setting too. Very dog friendly.

Lovely spot for a tea/coffee. Lots of outside benches and plenty of indoor seating.

Okay but staff a bit unfriendly.

Pleasant outside and inside eating, looking over a fishing lake.

Great place to chill, eat and have a leisurely drink.

Bit expensive but nice atmosphere

The best carvery roast I've had hands down.

I dont like to say this But the food was extremely poor quality Jacket potato was old and reheated Coleslaw was stale Chips, were poor quality Sausages deep fried Coffe, was weak Really need to make an effort , Wasn't cheap either

Great food and great service lovely setting

Very rustic. My "special" a chicken and bacon salad whilst being a generous portion the chicken chunks were battered and the bacon was cut into pieces similar in shape to a fat match stick. Unfortunate they were both very over cooked. However my friends choice...prawn and smoked salmon salad (another special) looked very nice. Service was very good, quick and friendly and prices were sensible.

Lovely staff and fantastic food.

This was the second time we have visited recently and the food and service has been absolutely fantastic. Fantastic place to visit friendly staff and the food is just excellent. Fully recommend 😁

Mediocre. Bad vibes/energy from staff/owner and it's overpriced for what it is. I recommend Tpodz as a cheaper, friendlier alternative just a couple of minutes away.

Beautiful lake and scenery alongside a lovely cafe with amazing food.

With limited places in Horam, this is a really nice place and for the campsite an good place for food and drink.

Plus points: 👍 A well positioned lovely looking cafe with plenty of outside seating area. Overlooking a couple of fishing ponds. Pleasant and friendly staff Adhering strictly to covid guidelines Minus points: 👎 Have to say when it came to the breakfast we all thought it fell short on the value for money front which is a shame as we'd hoped to have made this venue a regular refreshment stop! Perhaps including a cup of tea in the breakfast price would make it feel better value!. Something that maybe out of the cafe control as it is shared with other businesses on site is that of the unisex toilet facility, awful absolutly awful. We all would love to revisit and even better would be able to recommend to the various social groups we are involved in but presently that is not the case.

Was looking for a place to have brunch while on a staycation, and this was the only place for a while which had the outdoor dining facility (as indoor dining is still not allowed due to covid). Had monster brunch which is a typical English breakfast. Food was good and the service was also excellent. A family friendly bar and restaurant.

A great little find and will visit again! Have been here several times now and the staff are always helpful. Gets busy outside on sunny weekend days so you may not get a seat, quiet in the week. Nice menu, can recommend the sandwiches with crisps included. Only gripe was use of a push button coffee machine.

Very clean and prompt serveci. Food was excellent. Not a fault

Food ok but quite costly. Limited variety of fillings. Service very good.

Love it nice and quiet Lots of walks loads of fishing lakes. Toilets very clean restaurant only open part of the week
