Route 1066 Cafe in Rother - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Was looking forward to visiting, but wiil not be coming back. Food was at best average and mostly not hot enough. The bacon was totally overcooked and reheated and dried up. We also waited 45 mins for our breakfasts to arrive. One chap actually asked for his money back and left. The strange thing was, it wasn't even busy, 6-8 people. The atmosphere was strangely lacking too, maybe everyone was fed up waiting for their food? Very poor cafe!

Visited today (sun) it was fairly busy and the queue was out the door but we got served swiftly by a lovely friendly lady at the counter on the till,who assisted us in what was good to order as the choice was very large so we ended up going for a (B1& B2) sadly it took over an hour to arrive and wasn’t very hot when it did! , the young lad who delivered it to our table outside apologised for the wait and blamed the new till system, which everyone except the chef was coping with! Thankfully there was lots of bikes to look at and friendly bikers to talk too, we will return and hopefully things will get better under the new ownership, and the chef will be able to cope more under pressure , also disabled toilets wouldn’t go a miss as access was very limited, good luck for the future

Not everyone's cup of tea but my family had a great time here. It was clean and the staff were authenticly honest and friendly. It's a no-frills place and that was fine by me. It did what it said on the can very well. Plenty of parking. I'm not a biker although I enjoyed the biker themed surroundings and found the bikers to be friendly and polite.

Thought the food would be good but it's just ok. Nice place though

Lovely place to stop and catch up with other bikers

Just a quick stop for a 15 minute tacho break but ample time for them to serve a good cooked breakfast.

Nice place for a meal or just coffee

Friendly and awesome as always 🏍👍🏍 🙃

A rest stop for the weary traveller or more likely the biker who planned a ride out. They serve typical cafe food and drinks to be consumed indoors or outside. The food is tasty enough, but I don't recommend the packaged cakes, having had the most disappointing bakewell tart in my entire life (Age 49) from here. Good size carpark means you should be able to find a space on most days.

Great place very reasonable prices

What a great place for bikers Great food Staff were very happy,friendly and helpful

Went in for breakfast on what I think was one of the hottest days so far this year the staff were amazing in the heat food was great service was great think it was one of the best breakfasts yet any how couldn’t resist but to treat the girls to an ice cream hope you enjoyed ladies and thank you for working so hard even in that heat

Very very good 👍nice cup and very nice bacon's roll 👌frendly people 😀

Great breakfast sandwich! Will definitely be stopping there again.

New owners :- Egg n Bacon bap tasty 👍👍

Great bikers cafe. Food is quite average but this is not the main reason to visit

Just popped in for a small breakfast, quite busy, prompt service and food freshly cooked.

Great roadside cafe, good food, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere and I can charge my car.

Great spot for bikers in East Sussex on a ride. Nice simple and tasty breakfast with possibly the worst coffee ever. But the vibe is right.

Just love this place foods great prices are great. Highly recommended

If your a biker then it's a go to on way to coast, lots of bikes good atmosphere, foods good

Affectionately known as the bikers cafe real pie mash and liquor.

Great food, great atmosphere, and great service 👍

freshly cooked food. immaculately clean tables

A great place to stop for breakfast or lunch. The staff are really friendly and no rushing to get you off the table.

Great breakfast and reasonable, great for watching all different bikes coming and going.

Very much still in keeping with traditional roadside cafes of old ,mugs of tea, good food, and some interesting decor.Popular with motorcycle riders and other road users wanting a coffee without the overpriced facilities so often found on today's roads. Visited mid-morning, so a bit quieter.

We passed this cafe on the way in to Hastings and made a note to visit on the way back. I didn’t feel like stopping on the return journey so passed but then the sat-nav alerted me to a load of traffic so I turned back when we hit the roundabout. So glad I did. Proper locally sourced food cooked to order and cooked very well. Perfect eggs and great service. Cafes like this are sadly a rarity these days. We aim to return later this year and will be stopping on both the way in and way out.

Great place to stop for food, lively and friendly.

Proper roadside cafe with a decent wallet friendly breakfast.

Great café to grab a bite whilst on the road. Had the full English which was delicious and a generous portion. Keep up the great work 👏, I'll be back 😎

We stopped here on our return from Scotland, great atmosphere and staff very friendly. Curry was excellent and was the wife's jacket potato. We will return.

Always a joyous venue to drop by, however this visit was to show off this infamous venue to a fellow biker from South east Asia, had coffee whilst marvelling the various stunning machines that drew up 🤠

What a great biker cafe. I must have been down that road a squillion times but never saw it. Met up with friends there. This is a real biker cafe, no hipster nonsense here. I'll definitely be back.

Great service from a bubbly lady on the till, great coffee,shame she doesn't make good one's at home for me!🤣🤣🤣

Must see Bikers cafe! Very good &friendly atmosphere. Good coffee.

Great place to stop for a bite or drink

We must have driven past this cafe hundreds of times doing the journey from London to Hastings to see family but have never stopped in. Today, the A21 was temporarily closed, and we were advised by the police officer at the road block that the road would re open within half an hour, so we headed back to this cafe to grab a coffee. The young lady behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming. The cafe was clean and inviting. There is a shop at the back of the cafe for all things "biker" so you can grab a leather jacket with your coffee if you so wish to 🙃 There are outside tables and also a small garden area, which I can imagine is lovely on a sunny day. All in all, we enjoyed our visit, and this is somewhere we will definitely visit again

Excellent breakfast very reasonable

Fantastic place for a cup of tea and great food Visit always with my mate David Love the staff and the food is amazing A must for everyone and the bike guys Cheers cliff

Good food, well priced, quick service, lots of parking and a few bikes to look at.

Excellent alround service, food and pricing

Great place for bikers, foods not great though it's cheap food and not soo cheap prices, but not by no means terrible

Friendly, value-oriented cafe on the A21. Lots of character, interesting collection of recent and older biker photos/memorabilia. Food is mainly breakfast type offerings, available all day. The breakfast was fairly basic but tasty and super value. Great place to stop off.

Good choices of food and drink, reasonable prices. Love that it's a biker cafe with all the decor and shop

Stopped for a decent reasonably priced breakfast, friendly staff and great tea as well.

Waited an hour for a fry up. Was told would be 30 minutes; not sure how anywhere can think it's acceptable to take one hour to cook a fry up. Food was okay what you would expect.

Hate to do this, but man, the place has gone downhill. Waited for an hour for our breakfast order, and the place was not busy. Then the finaly gets to us and it was really disappointing.

Great breakfast in a great biker cafe, also family friendly. Menu good with lots of options even had green tea!

Great bikers cafe 👌 food is and service is spot on,call in if you're passing through

Proper old school roadside cafe. Only had an egg and bacon sandwich and a cuppa, but got just what I expected. Perfect stop off on a road trip, live the decor and style

Had the pie mash n liquor very nice staff recommended some great photos pictures all over the cafe highly recommended to come and eat

Good & popular bikers cafe excellent value breakfasts indoor & outdoor dining. Small bike shop for clothing & bits too. Be mindful if coming in from St John's Cross as they are often in the old campervan site in a safety van taking pictures. 30 mph area. Will cost you a lot more than lunch.

Fantastic! One of the few bikers stops left, even if you don't ride and just want to look, fantastic. Food and drink are excellent. Had a great time there, will be going back soon 😁

Brilliant food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Shop well kitted out and lots of old merch that brings a smile.

Friendly place, good food, great value, popular with bikers but good for anyone.

Large breakfast my 3 year old niece would have eaten it very small will not go back

I had a nice burger and hot chocolate with my mate. Lot's of biker's was there today we had a great ride in this beautiful sunny day 🤘 "Ride safe" and "Rock and roll"

A proper bikers cafe. Great food, lovely people who run it. Comprehensive breakfast menu. Baked potatoes, omelettes, chilli etc all the usuals.

Awsome found by accident highly recommend on the A21 near Battle

Had some time to kill before a meeting so my friend and I popped in for lunch. As a well traveled old biker I had been here before so I knew what to expect and it didn’t disappoint. We both had the big breakfast and it was top notch. Really nice bacon good meaty sausages and the most orange and tasty eggs I’ve had for some time. Service was friendly and quick too Only disappointment was that there were no motorbikes there! But it was raining hard!!

Was fairly quiet when I stopped there, but food and coffee were good Nice atmosphere especially if you like motorbikes. 👍

Had breakfast and lunch here a few times while working in the area. Staff was lovely and food was delicious

Great atmosphere, especially if you're a motorcyclist.

Great café for bikers and non bikers alike.

Nice bikers cafe with good parking. Food is average, but good value, and made up by the amount of bikes parked outside.

Pulled in to this great nostalgic cafe with my son . Route 1066 is a perfect bikers and general petrol head paradise , fantastic menu with lots of choice and great children's menu. Breakfasts 1,2,3 include a drink and toast/bread and butter. It gets very busy which says it all.

This is 1 of my favourite water holes as the food is really good and the staff are very friendly and professional and very well priced 👍👍👍🫵

Good location, plenty of table space, lovely staff and the 1066 breakfast was a proper meal ! Thank you.

just the most lovely staff and good grub.

A great cafe, whether your on a motorbike or in a car, everyone's welcome. If your in the area it's worth a visit.

Great stop for hungry bellies. Lovely staff and a good variety on the menu board.

If your a biker or a family on a trip, I would recommend the 1066 as good food and well priced! Family run and great for a Saturday breakfast. Love the place

Amazing biker place, nice coffee, a must.

I just needed to borrow a fork for a meal deal I had bought but forgot to get a fork to eat it with, but they were willing to lend me the fork anyway. Great service

Proper biker cafe, I really enjoy riding over for a number 2 breakfast, great atmosphere, on the weekend lots of bikes.

Takes so long to get served even on a wet rainy Sunday car park not even half full 20 mins to get a cup of tea is not good .

Blinding old style cafe had bacon egg chips tasted pukka well cheap london all rip off now good tea servers friendly enjoyed place.will come back 10 out of 10

Service was excellent, prices reasonable and a true eclectic cafe for bikers and families alike

Super bikers cafe just outside Hastings. Brilliant prices-small great quality breakfast including tea or coffee & b&b or toast £5.95.Very friendly and chatty staff, Nice little biker clothing and accessories shop on site and charity book box. You don't have to be a biker too✌

Fabulous place popular with motorbikers. Amazing service and value for money

If you are a biker this is the place for you good prices

We were on our way to a ride of respect, the lovely lady gave us a free cuppa to help us on our way 😀 😊 ❤️

My first time at 1066 lovely place lovely friendly staff and service it's my new regular biker cafe

We always like coming out here, a nice ride from Maidstone area and the food is always reliable with a decent tea and filter coffee…always a decent amount of bikes around and the friendly efficient staff make it easy to order even when it’s busy and you never feel in the way, as with other cafes. Had a great ham, egg and chips today (plus a breakfast) - it’s 2 proper slices of real ham, 2 eggs and nicely cooked chips 👍🏻. I just hope we get a few more nice days left this year to come back on the bike.

I was a Biker for 50 years...and visited many ' Biker Cafes'....The 1066 Cafe,retains the original Biker atmosphere.Everyone,is welcome here,Bikers or OAP's...all made to feel at home, excellent selection of all day food,great Coffee,and prices.

Great atmosphere bikers are the best! Great value breakfast.

Great place for a meet up and watch the world go by as well as the bikes.😁

Super cool biker café, great tucker and friendly staff.

Down to earth cafe for any one Good food Good coffee and other beverages Sit inside or outside Great polite helpful staff What else could you want

I only stopped for a drink. Friendly and casual.

Stopped of for breakfast wicked atmosphere very friendly place top marks 👍

Great transport style cafe, frequented by bikers. Varied menu at sensible prices and the staff make everyone welcome.

Great place, good food...fabulous biker place. If you're a coffee liver make sure you're specific about instant/brewed before ordering or you get instant as standard....they do actually have some reasonable brewed coffee ☕️

Great cafe just no savoury snacks like pasties or pies so your going hungry unless you want a sandwich or a full blown meal

What a fantastic biker themed cafe (but not just for bikers). The staff are friendly and the breakfast and coffee we had was lovely. It is very reasonably priced and has all the little travel goodies you may need for the rest of your journey. This is a must stop at place if you are in the area and we will definetly be back.

Would give it 5 stars but nothing is perfect.

Great place to spend the day, great atmosphere, friendly staff, loads of bikes and fellow bikers to chat to. I am nearing 60 and been riding since 17, currently on a 1979 Z750 and it's good to see the bond that bikers have that simply doesn't exist amongst motorists. Biker cafes used to be common back in the day but not so nowadays so it's great to see how popular this one is . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Saturday 12/8 closed no warning lots of unhappy bikers......😕

A bikers' cafe on a popular route to the coast. Good food, hot tea and coffee. Gets very busy on a sunny Sunday! Excellent biker night events through the summer.
