Route 1066 Cafe in Rother

Sadly cannot comment on the food as I sat there for 35 minutes before asking when my breakfast would be ready to be told . Oh haven't you had it yet. Unfortunately had to ask for my money back as needed to get back to work. Will not be coming back

I have been meaning to visit this legendary roadside café for ages. I wish I hadn't left it so long. As a long-term vegan driving a modest car to a bikers haunt, it wasn't an obvious place to stop, perhaps, but the staff put together a great vegan breakfast for me, they were very friendly, and I will be back. *Apparently this eatery features in the 2012 film 'Byzantium', featuring Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan

Have been coming here for years...it's the worst I have ever had today...chips were cold...beans cold ..egg not cooked sent it back...my partners breakfast was all cold ....won't eat there again when that so called chef is cooking..yuk!!!!!!

Mo was a very lovely,welcoming lady, on the till, and the chef Clare does a handsome B2 will definitely be back ,glad I turned around and came in, also the waitress jem was very polite when bring out my food , thanks to you all great team.

Great roadside cafe, good value breakfasts including vege options. Dogs are allowed inside

Worst burger Iv ever eaten, or attempted to eat. One bite and had to dash it out the window. A £1.59 rustler burger is of better quality than this £8 abomination

A lovely bunch of people and staff, have been coming here for years in my bike and always enjoy the experience. I ordered two large breakfasts for myself as I was hungry and they put it on one plate for me, bloody wonderful. The staff are absolutely amazing and make it such a lovely atmosphere Love you guys Lewis

Good cheap roadside cafe typically used by bikers.

If you ride a bike this is 1 for you

Bad value for money. Stingy portions watery coffee expensive.

Food was reasonably priced and portions huge. Service was friendly and fast. Garden was pleasant, tables and toilets were clean and clear of rubbish

Huge disappointment. Drove up specifically to have liver and bacon only to have them take my money and 3 minutes later tell me there was none left. Ordered scrambled egg on toast instead and was suggested an omelette I said I would prefer scrambled egg. May as well have had the omelette because what I got was overcooked. Staff were nice and polite but overall a very disappointing visit.

Just great place. Live music, lovely food. Very nice atmosphere. I love singns in the.....loo🙊🙈😂

Great service, very polite girl, great food.

Popped in on a Monday only had a cuppa very nice girl behind the counter and a good atmosphere 👌

Visited past Saturday - the service and staff were friendly and approachable, it has a great vibe. Food was good and well presented, good value for money but the tea was expensive. Refill was nice. Will be visiting again

A real bikers cafe Passed on a regular basis and although I do not bike, always wanted to try, not disappointed, staff were friendly, had an extensive menu, I am of an age where liver and bacon holds some nostalgia and was cooked to perfection. Not your taste there are plenty of other things to tempt you.

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

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.

Friendly and awesome as always 🏍👍🏍 🙃

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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"

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

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

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✌

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 😀 😊 ❤️
