Sheppard's in Wealden

Such a charming little place. The staff seem to know everyone by name so obviously a regular clientele. Such a shame it will close on 21st. I’m sure it will be missed as seems like a real community hub

Had a great steak meal in this cosy restaurant. The food is really good and the staff very friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Been coming to Sheppards for a couple of years. Started on the hunt for the best brunch in Sussex. We found Sheppard's after week 3 and haven't continued to look as its hands down the best brunch EVER. All served with friendly team in a beautiful Sussex village which allows for decent hike there, fabulous brunch, walk home. We have also been to a few evening events - the Tapas is off the scale fantatstic and pizza nights (I am not a pizza lover) but these are homemade sensations - all washed down with beer, wine and/or cocktails! Would highly recommend.

My husband and I visited Sheppard’s for a Friday night dinner for our anniversary. Initially I wasn’t able to book via the website so I sent an email and had a prompt and lovely response by Mandy, the owner, who booked us in with no issues. We chose the A La Carte menu and had to order earlier that day to ensure they could order in the ingredients (everything is locally and freshly sourced), and we weren’t disappointed! The cafe is unassuming but they let their food do the talking. We had the tiger prawns and pâté to start, and then we both had the hanging chicken skewer for mains. Everything was delicious and Mandy and her daughter were very friendly. It’s clearly the hub of the village, and so it ought to be! We were sad that we were leaving the next day so we couldn’t go back and sample the breakfast but if we visit the area again we’ll definitely go back, and will be recommending it to any friends heading down that way! Thanks again Mandy!!!

Popped in a couple of times now. Great food, family run cafe. Lots of breakfast items and snacks on the lunch menu. A vast selection of coffees and drinks. Dog friendly too.
