After visiting before on a few biker meets, we decided to visit for breakfast en route to a car show. Staff are friendly and helpful. Amendments to our breakfast are no hassle, and having a drink included is always a bonus. For me being a fussy vegetarian, the veggie breakfast is awesome. No processed soya foods used. You can even have chips at 9 in the morning if you so wish.

Having been coming here for many months/years, we have noticed a steady decline in hygiene. Sauce bottles not cleaned, salt and pepper shakers sticky, spoons and cups always stained, not properly cleaned along with plates and cutlery , i'm not certain how this establishment has a food hygiene rating of 5! Today it got worse, i noted one of the staff sneeze into his hand, then after a very short period of time without washing his hands scratch his ear and touch his hair. Its a shame because overall the breakfast was good, and the coffee has certainly improved. There are some serious issues which need to be sorted out here, until then we will not be coming back. I will only assume that all staff members have done their basic food hygiene course, but from what i saw today i'm not sure!!

Unclean as previously mentioned in a review. I’m all for supporting independent, local businesses but I also refuse to do so if it means accepting unsanitary, port quality offerings. If early enough, you are better off choosing to select more chain offerings nearby. Photo is of coffee (not tea) where I estimate less than a single bean has been used for multiple coffees - weak, flavourless and lukewarm.

We have visited before and know they shut at 4pm so, at 3.10pm called to ask if the breakfast was all day. We were told it was but the kitchen was now closed. We drove past a 3.20pm. So 40 minutes wasn't long enough for them to cook a meal and for us to eat it.

We have visited several times & have never been disappointed. There's a good selection and I usually construct my own breakfast from the options on the menu. The food is always hot, great quality and not swimming in grease. We've visited a few other places locally which serve breakfast butbin my opinion this is the best and is also great value for money.

Me negué a comer aquí ya que todo estaba cubierto de tierra. Los condimentos tenían bolas de mantequilla y grasa sobre ellos donde la gente los había usado, mi mesa tenía trozos de comida pegados (y aún así era el más limpio), y olía a grasa. Los menús estaban manchados y rasgados y las ventanas también estaban completamente cubiertas de tierra. Solo cosas buenas fueron que la comida llegó rápido y el resto de mi familia dijo que sabía bien. No volvería, el lugar me dio ganas de vomitar debido a toda la suciedad.

Made a mistake of arranging to meet friends further down at the treacle mine, unfortunately we arrived later than anticipated. Our friends were already eating and were told we could only have continental breakfast, I actually found the member of staff to be quite rude in her tone. So we ended up going to lite bites, as we've been there before and never disappointed. The young lady serving behind the counter greeted us the moment we came through the door. Directed us to a table which had just become available , cleared and wiped it. Yet again a lovely breakfast, our friends then came and joined us for a coffee. We all agreed next time just to meet here instead .

Popped in for a takeaway as we had missed breakfast at our hotel next door. we got served pretty quick but had to wait nearly 20 minutes for 2 bacon sandwiches. whilst waiting at the front of the cafe you can see right into the kitchen where everything is being prepared I noticed a older lady who was helping with plating up doing things that shouldn't be happening when handling food. I noticed that she kept moving her hair from her eyes as she did not have a hair net on and then she started to butter some toast and got butter on her fingers I thought she was just going to wipe it off but instead she started to lick her fingers not good so glad she was not making my food after seeing that Asked the young lady doing the till to sort my food out. Unfortunately when the council give out the hygiene ratings they do not see things like this. The bacon and sausages are all pre cooked and put into metal containers to keep warm how long does it take to cook bacon on a hot plate. Glad I will not be eating at this place again as the standards are quite low.

Visited this place purely by chance ,we were just in the process of turning around. But noticed how many people were entering this little place. Must admit it didn't take much to persuade the wife of not going to the "big M". So glad we did, they were very busy when we entered and only three ladies working a small area . We were acknowledged straight away and directed to the menus. Ordering was made very simple and making changes to a breakfast was no problem at all. We were given a spoon with a number and a waiting time . The cafe was full and at one point customers were waiting for tables. The young lady that served us was bringing drinks and food out as well s clearing on her way back. What was really nice was she would keep customers updated with whereabouts they were in the process of cooking their food . Nothing was too much trouble for all three members of staff and they were continuously joking and laughing with customers. We both had a pleasant experience and thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts.

Between the miserable waitress, who when placing food left it on the opposite side to where I was sitting. Then there was the screeching baby, who would not shut up due to parents who cannot control their kids. Felt like I was in a live episode of benefit Britain, however the camera filming was not present. Resulting in a bottle of coke being knocked off and spraying everywhere.Food is average at best, frozen hash browns and saute potatos. Cheap sausages.Would have much rather vomitted up last nights food and beers and had a soup for breakfast.Waste of £10 would rather have given it to one of the benefit Britain families so they can spend it on their drug addictions.

Came here to meet a friend as I left Eastbourne some years ago and rarely get back. We used to come on a Sunday morning because the food was good and the location was good for us.Young woman wearing a headscarf was a shining example of how not to serve people. My friend and I both laughed out loud because we thought that this must be some sort of joke. She never looked at me, she snatched the money from me, never said please or thank you and huffed and puffed throughout the entire transaction. I assume she must be deaf because she asked me to repeat my order a number of times. The tables were grubby, the condiments filthy and the atmosphere in the kitchen was terrible. I will never ever ever return here. It's an utter disgrace of a place. I feel sorry for the lady doing the cooking because she seemed embarrassed at her colleagues total incompetence.If this lady worked for me I would have had her removed in an instant as she is damaging the business.Disaster!

Things were grim when we first walked in, a begrudging greeting by three women who looked like they would rather be anywhere else than at work. Walked into a stark, empty seating area. Menus were grubby, as were the condiments. Cutlery wrapped in a serviette that appeared to be sealed shut but no apparent indication of how they were sealed; initially it looked as if the serviette had been licked and stuck down. Food arrived, looking very lack lustre and as if it had been thrown together by a surrealist painter. Lukewarm food, cold plates, general grubbiness all contributed to a grim experience.

Spotted this little cafe at the end of a cul-de-sac at Polegate Services. We were staying in Polegate Premier Inn and decided to give this independent café a try for breakfast.We had a full English on a Saturday at 11am it was less than £5 each including tea or coffee and toast. There were also different breakfast sizes, sandwiches, salads, cakes etc.This was cheaper than the £8+ Premier Inn Breakfast offeringIt was worth the 10 minute wait for the freshly cooked breakfast, this is not fast food!.The staff were friendly and attentive Outdoor seating also available. The cafe is very popular with the locals I'm told. Nice clean toilets and biker friendly from what I could see.Will return - a little gem!Seagulls found it popular eating bits of left overs outside off tables!

Had arranged to meet up at the Treacle Mine for breakfast but was swayed against it when Lite Bites was highly recommended by a regular...and apparently the Treacle Mine is not that good now.We were not disappointed. Four hungry people, all had different fry-ups, all cooked really well, and great quality of bacon , eggs and sausage. All served with toast of your choice and a big mug of tea. £4.50 average price. These kind of places are normally famous for greasy food but these were cooked really well, more of a healthy cooked breakfast and we were all set up for the day. Very efficient, well run and clean. Would definitely go again....and recommend.

Nice coffee but no little cream pots so just milk. That was the onlyest thing. The food was excellent and the ladies were very pleasant friendly, chatty and helpful.

Went here on Saturday for breakfast, was empty when we arrived but soon filled up after us. We were a family group of 7, while other tables were smaller. Obviously our order was larger than other tables but it did seem that this meant we were lower priority as tables that ordered after us got their food quicker. When the food did arrive it was luke warm at best. When ordering the breakfasts we asked for "2 number '1's with Hash Browns", only 1 arrived with hash browns so we repeatedly chased up our order. When the lady bought the hash browns she stated in quite an accusatory way that "only 1 lot was written down" - surely something that she should raise with the member of staff who took the order and the further requests for the missing food item than the customer? Her manner was such that I did question whether it was wise to eat them!All set breakfasts (we ordered 4) come with choice of tea or coffee, however we had to chase up a cup of tea 3 times, when it did arrive it was black with the tea bag still in it so we then had to repeatedly ask for the milk, as well as chasing up the 3 other drinks we ordered.Prices were pretty standard compared to other cafes but taking whole experience into account definitely not worth the money.

Situated behind and on the opposite side at the end of the road to Mc Donalds restaurant is this great little eatery. It is what you would expect of a diner with the exception of a vast menu. Another difference is that the food is GREAT and a big plus for us is that they do gluten free options. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are happy to assist with dietary choices. The even phoned a supplier to check if Gluten was in their product. Business people, truckers, and families seem to frequent it. There is parking right outside the door. Really good overall.
