Sawubona Restaurant in Rother

My fella and I usually visit Maidstone a couple of times in the summer, and before we headed off this time I looked up places to eat on Tripadvisor. This place looked a good bet, so we sought it out to try for ourselves and we are very glad we did. What a brilliant place! Not only was the food every bit as good as the reviews promised it would be, but the biggest surprise was the interior - WOW! After walking throught the genteel arcade, the last thing I was expecting was this riot of individualism and colour. As it was only us eating (we were early for lunch...) I took the opportunity to have a good look around and take some photos to share. The lady behind the bar was really friendly, and we were very impressed with the prompt service and the quality / quantity of the food. We will definitely be coming again and would fully recommend this to anyone who enjoys a decent burger at a fair price! :)

Had a Dubu burger, chips and an incredible Tiramisu. Burgers was really tasty and exactly I was looking for in terms of the flavour.

I’ve been coming here for food for a while and it’s always deliciously prepared and served by very friendly and welcoming staff. It’s a lovely cafe situated in a quiet side road in the centre of Ticehurst village, well worth seeking out, keep your eyes peeled for the sign for The Courtyard Cafe. The breakfasts set you up for the day and the lunches are amazing, I had the homemade quiche with chips and salad which was all homemade by the lovely staff and it was so delicious. Daily specials are also available including teas, coffees and cake. Good size portions, with seating outside for sunny days and very clean inside with plenty of seating. Ample parking available at the village car park just round the corner from the cafe, it’s a really friendly place to relax and so worth a visit. Will be going back again very soon.

Fantastic cafe in the heart of Rye! Run by nice people, serving nice food. Everything we tried was delicious and nourishing.
