Mrs Burton's Restaurant and Tea Room in Rother

Such friendly and accommodating service. Reserved a table for our group of 10 damp and muddy walkers and made a nice fuss of our dog. The food came quickly and was tasty and we got cake to takeaway too. Maybe a little pricey for what it is but the location is excellent and the service compensates. Would definitely come back.

Loved this place when we visited Battle. Loads of seating inside and out, rustic and friendly. The Scones are to die for! Made on sight by the elderly team running the Restaurant and Tearoom. Nothing is too much trouble, fabulous service. We bought more scones to take home, but you buy the whole caboodle, take home jam and cream with them. Awesome detailing! Recommended for snacks, the Paninis are excellent I'm told by my partner.

We went in, as the Menu on the outside wall was creating a lot of interest. Very quaint inside, low beamed ceiling, rustic chairs and tables, all very clean and organised. Order and pay area at the far end of the Cafe. Lovely people serving, served by an elderly gentleman, his charm was consistent throughout his service to us and everyone else. Orders were brought to the table with a smile and a bit of chit-chat. Lovely experience. I had a fruit scone and a pot of tea. My partner went for the Toasted Panini. it was all very good. The Scone was to die for. I have never eaten any Scone so divine! Spent an hour here, the service was quick, the cafe was half full and filling up, and the weather was rainy. Ideal position just outside the walls of the front of the Abbey. Certainly a lot cheaper than eating inside the Abbey. The Scones are made on-site, and the scones were to die for... I know I'm repeating myself, but they WERE. So good we got some to take back to the hotel. They are not your usual buy e.g. 2 scones in a bag, they are packed into takeaway boxes, with a jar of Jam and a Jar of Cream. OMG, They were amazing after dinner, sat in our hotel room, nomming away on them! I've tried two now, fruit and plain, they are as good as each other. Massive in height. More like eating a Bath bun for size. Highly recommended. We will return!

Cup of tea was good but the fruit scone was the worst that I have ever tasted. Anaemic, doughy, chewy. I couldn't eat more than a third. Extremely disappointed. Expensive too.

Very good! Tea was amazing, people were very nice, and overall nice atmosphere. To think we got invaded here lol

Welcoming with lovely service. Freshly cooked breakfast, very much enjoyed. Highly recommend to everyone will return

Stopped here for a quick bite after visiting the abbey - wished we hadn’t £25 for two decidedly average,dryham and cheese paninis each served with an handful of over-fried chips, not even a hint of a lettuce leaf for aesthetic purposes - which I would have expected at those prices. All washed down with two small overly sugary lemonades Owners definitely following the European model of charging higher prices for food depending on the view No plans to head back there again - would not recommend

Very kind workers, food was delicious and atmosphere is great :)

A tourist place has a lovely old English house feel with older wolde decor lots of different dishes on the menu outside seating over looking the the castle walls great to just sit with a coffee and a cake and watch the world go by not sure about disabled toilets etc also not tried other foods apart from drinks and cake but what I saw on other customers plates all looked good.parking may be awkward as you have to find one of the public parking areas further up the town.

Having lunch (a nice panini) I spotted folk eating scones “as big as your head” (to quote a nearby kid) but they sold out before we got to them. Had cake instead - melt in your mouth good - I’m fussy about cakes but these were delish.

Lovely breakfast next to the battlefield and abbey. We were lucky enough to snag a table facing the abbey and in sunny weather! I had the soup special of the day which was beef and roasted peppers paired with a ciabatta for £7.90 and it was very comforting. Staff were friendly and cheerful, very good ambience and the medieval style decor was a nice touch! Will come again if visiting Battle

The best gluten free scones I’ve ever tasted. The were warm and tasted just like muggle ones. The coffee was good and staff friendly. We will definitely come again

Cosy and welcoming little cafe to pop into for breakfast before a visit to the Abbey. It was a bit chilly in the far end of the cafe, but we moved in front of the fire and this was lovely. Food and drinks were good, but noticeably more expensive than other similar places. We presumed this was for the key location for tourists, a stones throw from the Abbey.

A great spot to go, before going into the abbey. We had a couple of English breakfasts and my son had a slice of cake. Tea and Coffee was excellent as well as the food. It was wet and cold outside and there was a lovely fire lit. All good!!!

We had a very good soup and panini for lunch on Christmas Eve. Friendly staff, interesting old building. Lots of tables inside and opportunity for sitting outside in the summer

What a wonderful place keep doing what your doing and was lovely sitting by a warm fire on a cool day

A very cute tea room that retains all the charm from historic Battle that you would expect and is very welcoming to dogs.

We always go out for Christmas Eve breakfast and took a little trip to this cute restaurant, we had a tasty breakfast and the service and food was excellent.

Mrs Burton is situated next to the ancient Abbey Gate in Battle. Its a medieval building with a lovely warm atmosphere very fitting in this ancient town. The cooking is top rate and so is the welcome we received. And this is the place to get the best breakfast in Battle.

This is pleasant enough, busy little business. We had just missed breakfast so an early lunch at 1115. I am probably out of step thinking £7.50 is a bit steep for a bowl of soup, but it is what it is. The place is open on Sunday, not much else is, and nice enough, warm out of the early winter chill

Service good, overall pricey but lovely to eat in

Prime location by the Abbey. Was going to go to a chain coffee shop, but thought we'd spend the money in a local independent place. The cup of teas was nice, the hot chocolate too sweet. We ordered a cheese and tomato toastie. £7. It was very disappointing. 2 slices of cheap white bread, 4 thin slices if tomato and a bit of cheese. Won't be going back there again.

The quality of our full English breakfast was superb.

Lovely little place beautiful garden very friendly helpful staff

Friendly service, but very expensive for what was a pretty mean portion - £7.50 for a small panini with nothing on the side. The menu doesn’t mislead, but the food doesn’t delight either…

Nice home made food, good value, friendly staff

Lovely oldie worldy tea room. Had a cream tea even though only 10am and it was delicious. A warmed fruit scone and the tiny jars of jam and cream were enough and no wastage. Well worth a visit.

The place is so nice and staff friendly coffee was great

Very historic landmark tearoom in Battle. Great staff and great food. Lovely. Dog and biker friendly is a big bonus.

Food is ok but the prices are a total joke. £7 for a basic cheese toastie is nonsense. Coke is flat and out of a large bottle. Heinz ketchup bottles are refilled with the cheapest, nastiest ketchup they could find. Can't recommend this place at all.

Lovely breakfast and very good coffee. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back .

Good but expensive Arond 60£ for 4 people

Fabulous food goos prices and the staff are amazing, will be back soon

Terrible place, clearly a tourist trap just outside the Abbey, TLDR - tried it, it's bad, don't go. It's a lovely place to sit in the sun, and that is where it ends. Whilst the service was friendly, the staff just did not know what they were doing or what was on offer. The sandwiches and baguettes were the cheapest makes of bread you could imagine, filled with the skimpiest and cheapest fillings, we had egg mayo (where was the egg or the majo). Chicken salad with almost no chicken or salad, Tuna Mayo with almost no mayo, a BLT and with the least B L and T you could get away with, but the sting was the price £9+ for most Baguettes each. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

Simple menu, 3 kinds of ploughman's lunch on the list. Ok food.

Appalling prices and poor quality food. Sandwiches were made from supermarket sliced bread, fillings very poor. Not home cooked as advertised. On the plus side service from the waitresses was good and they were polite. I want be returning and would not recommended.

Rude man serving, the lady was nice - pricey at 3.20 for an espresso and then the man made us feel most unwelcome - shame as food looked nice and we were going to come back after our walk - plenty else to choose from in the town

Nicely located and pleasantly presented next to the Abbey. The staff were friendly. Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. However its biggest downfall is the prices. The cheese scone and cup of tea cost over £6 and the scone wasn't anything special, there was nothing additional to justify the price. The cream tea had a fruit scone which was described as good by my wife but a small portion of jam and a little jar of whipped cream. Again not good for the over £6 we paid for it. At that price we would have expected clotted cream. Annoyingly the 3 teas we had came in one pot which we hadn't been asked if ok. We just about squeezed 3 cups out of and it didn't come with any additional hot water, Although it was supplied when we asked.

Very nice but way too expensive, shan't be going again

Excellent food and wonderful people, Thank you 😊

Excellent English breakfast. The tea was also very yummy but maybe best of all was the friendly service. I enjoyed the hash browns and the eggs were absolutely perfect...worth a stop!

Stopped off for morning coffee, nice people and helpful staff. Food looked very appetising. Lots of choices.

Advertised as ‘just a good coffee’ , it was anything but. It was weak. We ordered cheese and tuna melt and got cheese and tuna sandwiches when questioned they said because of the hot weather they weren’t doing melts. They then served the table next to us with a melt and a jacket potato with melted cheese??

Very expensive, coffee below average, had a chicken and pickle baguette and it was naff hardly anything on it. Only positive was the building

Great spot just in front of the castle. Very friendly!

Old world type tea room outside of Battle Abbey, they have good lunch options or you can have tea and cake ! Table service, friendly staff. Update ! First visit for quite a while, I can thoroughly recommend the scone and cream tea!

Lovely tasty food, friendly staff and an amazing view

A lovely little restaurant over 500 hundred years old. We enjoyed a lovely coffee and cake. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food and friendly service.

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff, nice menu sandwiches and soups to omelette, chips. Cosy place situated next to the Abbey.

Great food, fabulous service and the most dog friendly place in Kent

A very nice restaurant home cooked food well prepared and exellent value for money

We came in while on a short break in Battle. Warm, comfortable and just full of history. Good coffee and an excellent breakfast.

Lovely cooked breakfast and friendly atmosphere. Worth a visit, not to mention stunning views of the Abbey.

Very good cream tea. Dog friendly.

Nice food and really nice staff.

Loved it - had amazing ploughman's on say to interview. Looking forward to my next visit.

Weather was perfect for an outside coffee stop from our 8 mile walk around Battle and this looked lovely just outside the Battle Abbey walls..Safe service at the table for six of us and all drinks arrived together, lovely and hot.Perfect and would recommend.

Very nice but pricey for something s

Really good breakfast very small but well worth it

Nice tea and homemade cakes served by friendly staff

Coffee was ok . Nice surroundings by the abby

Best scones I've ever tasted. ❤

Lovely setting Fantastic Staff so friendly and helpful with our Fussy eater that wanted a deconstructed chip butty. 😃 Our dog was given treats and water so we didn't have to share any chips with him! Would we come here again YES!

Wonderful tea room. Friendly staff. Great freshly prepared food.

Couldn't do more for you, really lovely people and the afternoon tea is well worth booking, congratulations a winning formulae, a very well done from me.

Lovely lunch. Delicious chicken soup. Dogs got a lot of attention (and treats). Friendly service. King Harold would approve.

Always excellent service and food. Really lovley owners, always look forward to visiting.

Lovely cake, took photo after l ate it🤦‍♀️. Coffee lovely too.

Had jacket potatoes, hot drinks and carrot soup. Soup and drinks were nice and hot, felt jacket potato was overpriced. Nice setting and would go again!

Five star. Highly recommended. All cakes baked on site. Coffee 5 star.

Thank you so much! We ordered a collection takeaway high tea to eat with family outside, now that restrictions allow this, and it did not disappoint! We were meant to dine in last year but it was delayed due to COVID restrictions. It was packaged and presented beautifully with such care and it was delicious! Everything was so fresh, full of flavour and such huge portions that we all had plenty to eat with leftovers. The owners are so friendly and went out of their way to ensure they catered for our seafood free party. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were all DIVINE! This isn’t our first time having high tea from here and it certainly won’t be our last - PERFECT! Thank you again.

Every thing here is all freshly prepared fab staff and managers extremely clean very very popular thay do a spacial cream tea inc sandwiches chrispys plenty to choose on the menu from hot food to cold food inc beverages sandwiches rolls yet again all freshly made inc their spacial poplour cream teas for that spacial occasion we have been 4 times cant get enough of it magnificent thay have toilet and disabled toilets their is ample parking outside inc disabled parking bays extremely friendly staff and management most definitely are top restaurants will most definitely go again please do telephone a head to make sure their is a table free and obviously to check they are still open due to the lockdown I give this magnificent restaurant 5 stars out of 5 for excellent xx

One the worst places ive ever been aa wsy over priced irs like think there a top restaurant they need a rain check!!

We sat in the gazebo during the downpour and had very good hot chocolate. We then moved inside for lunch. I had an excellent bowl of soup.

Great, old fashioned tea room next to Battle Abbey. Went for breakfast and had a proper full English and a decent cup of coffee. Not the cheapest but you could definitely taste the quality. Cute little gazebo outside as well.

I went today we waited for well over 30 mins and they have no kids menu so 2e asked if they could do us a jam sandwich and was dirt bit bread.not right and it most over priced place ive seen rude stuff to.wont be going back

Fantastic service and very nice food. Dog friendly.

Popped in for a light lunch with family. I'm afraid this is a good example of an establishment that feels because it has a beautiful building and desirable location, it can offer lacklustre service and poor pricing.£8 - £9 for a sandwich is excessive. Especially when the "side salad" is comprised of a quarter or a tomato and a few bits of grated carrot and green leaves.Our order was delivered, but those having soup had no cutlery. We asked the waitress to help and she duly said she would fetch some. We then watched as she went to prepare coffee and cake for another order first. In the end we asked someone else to help us before the soups went cold.Over priced and far better options nearby.

Great Burton Ploughman's, seafood salad and cheese sandwiches with chips. Food was excellent as was the coffee. Would recommend the cakes! Overall why go to the main chains that are springing up everywhere when you can support local providers who deliver on standards and service, covid aware and good service.

Really nice quaint little cafe on the doorstep of the Abbey. Nice food and good service

When we visit Battle, we always head for this restaurant, as it is always reliable, and staff very friendly.

Stopped for lunch after visiting Battle Abbey next door. Food was very good but rather pricey for what it was.

Great little tearoom! And great views of battle abby! Friendly service from all the team there

We had lunch here and were very impressed by the overall cleanliness, and Covid precautions. We appreciated the friendliness of the staff. The food was excellent. We would highly recommend this restaurant

Walked out after being ignored by owner. Were given menus which had the same items but different prices and then he proceeded to ignore us even though we were waiting to place our order. Two other customers were complaining about the rudeness and a further 2 tables also walked out after being ignored. Owner more interested in seating customers than serving them.

We went to Mrs Burton’s Tea Room for lunch after visiting the famous 1066 battlefield. The cafe is ideally located for tourists but most visitors would be better off venturing a little deeper into town for a better lunch. Overall we had a poor experience, service was slow, food was mediocre, prices were very high. Also we found Mrs Burton’s through their participation in the Amex ‘Shop Small’ promotion, which gives customers cash bank when they spend £10 or more through their Amex credit card at participating businesses, so we were surprised and frustrated when they refused to accept Amex card payment.

After exiting the Abbey this place is right in front of you, it is the perfect spot to grab a light lunch after your tour.Our table and chairs were all cleaned down while in front of us, making it feel a safe place to eat.The food was all home cooked and it was just what we needed.If anything else it is also a good place to people watch - we were lucky to visit on a sunny day so we were seated outside with the Abbey view A very recommended place for a light bite.

Went here for a cream tea after visiting the abbey. Lovely cream tea, scones were huge and fresh, plenty of jam & cream & lovely tea.

There is nothing negative to say about this little gem tucked away in the beautiful Sussex countryside town of Battle.The building itself it historic, being opposite the Abbey, and has oodles of charm (there's even a cosy little nook for a doting couple to sit in). The staff are just lovely and were extremely courteous and helpful throughout our short stay.We can't say anything about the cooked food as we both had cold lunches, but what we had was absolutely gorgeous and well presented. There was plenty to eat and so we couldn't even sample their sumptuous sounding desserts.

Stopped here for brunch once we got to Battle and before we went into the abbey. Its location next to the abbey gates is great, especially when eating outside. However, that corner can get a little busy with traffic to the car park. My wife and I ordered the veggie breakfast but asked to make it vegan, we were informed that the sausages were vegan, but were later told that they weren't. This was disappointing and as there are so many vegan sausages available on the market, they could substitute these for the veggie ones and provide a more substantial breakfast. Service was polite but could be better. My grandfather asked for condiments and was forgotten about, so had to ask another member of staff. It wasn't a terrible experience and the food was decent, but it could be improved.

Sat outside under the gazebo on a cloudy day. Service was okay and shown to a table when one became available. Good hygiene in place as table and chairs cleaned before you sit down. Service was okay, not the quickest and people were waiting nearby waiting for tables to become clear so you felt you were being watched a bit to see when you finished. Food was nice, we had the soup of the day.Average tourist orientated tea room.

Scones are excellent. Servers look tired and bored with their job

Came here after camping. Lovely staff. Great food and drink! Good for families with children and lots of seating!

Very disappointing with weak coffee despite request for extra shots. Service slow and very expensive. Will not be returning

After spending the morning visiting the Abbey and Battlefields we decided to visit here for lunch & afternoon tea.Waited to be seated, but we had to ask the person clearing the tables if a table was available. I was greeted with “we are only serving cakes and drinks” Asked if this included afternoon tea to be advised no scones left it was only 2.30pm! Very disappointing. You are participating in the “Eat out to Help out scheme “ does this mean that you are serving 50% less of your menu as you have advertised on your website.Sad ending to our few days visiting the local area.

My partner and I booked Mrs Burtons restaurant for what was our ‘would be’ wedding day. We booked the afternoon tea to sit outside under the gazebo. The staff were absolutely lovely on arrival and very welcoming. They were able to cater for my allergies as I am gluten and dairy free by making our entire tea free from these ingredients including the scones and sandwiches which were so tasty and not dry at all like some gluten free products can be! I saw some reviews on here before I booked about the afternoon tea being overpriced but I disagree, for the quality of food you got you would expect to pay more elsewhere. Defo recommend!!! :)

We booked an outside table for 4 plus a dog and all 4 of us had the full English breakfast which was delicious. The dog had his own water bowl and biscuits. Excellent service, food, tea and Covid-19 safety measures. We sat in the shade under the gazebo and watched the world go by as we ate. We thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely delicious gluten-free scones! My partner had the normal scones and said they were great too. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again.

I met my friend here for breakfast, we received a nice friendly greeting and chose our table, there were clear signs of Covid measures which was good to see and it felt safe to eat there, we chose an English breakfast each which was freshly cooked and very tasty. Would highly recommend a visit here.
