The Blacksmiths Tea and Coffee shop in Rother

Oh, where do I even begin with Scott’s Tea Room? It’s a delightful gem hidden in the heart of the village—and, let’s be honest, once you catch a glimpse of Scott himself, you won’t be thinking about tea. Imagine a cozy little haven, with the aromas of freshly baked scones mingling in the air, all served by a man who looks like he just stepped out of a Viking movie set. Yes, Scott is hunky, bald, and bearded, and honestly, it should be illegal to make tea and cakes while looking that good. The tea selection? Impeccable. The cakes? Life-changing. But it’s the service that’s the real star here. I mean, this guy pours tea like it’s a ritual handed down through generations of ruggedly handsome warriors. Scott can bring out a Victoria sponge like he’s presenting Excalibur, and somehow, the cup of Earl Grey tastes better because he poured it. Need sugar with that? Just catch his eye—trust me, it’s the only sugar you’ll need. If you’re passing through the village, make it a priority to stop here. Come for the tea, stay for the Scott. And if he happens to flex while pouring your milk? Well, that’s just a bonus.

Wonderful, hub of the village. So friendly and fresh tasty food. We both had the full breakfast. Local ingredients and so tasty. The atmosphere was fabulous, we left feeling we'd made friends with the owners, the regular clients, and of course It's Dog friendly! Really Worth a visit anytime. Will be making it a regular stop off each time we come up.

Absolutely gorgeous, cosy cafe in the heart of Burwash. You would go a very long way to have such a scrummy sausage sandwich or perfect fry up. I’m going back soon to try one of their legendary bacon rolls. The couple that run this place are as kind and warm as their food is delicious. I would highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch! In fact I’ve also tried their Victoria sponge and that was perfection too!

Fabulous traditional coffee shop with very friendly owners AND customers. We enjoyed a cuppa and tasty toasted tea cake yesterday with our Labrador, Rosie, who definitely enjoyed all the attention she got! Thank you! It’s great when you can take your dog and she is made as welcome as you are and is not just ‘the dog’. Was lovely to meet you and have a chat. We will definitely return when in the area again.

We had a delicious breakfast here two mornings running. Tea served in a teapot which gave 2+ cups. The bread used for toast was superb. Very friendly couple who went out of their way to be helpful. The cakes looked very inviting.

This place offer great food and quality service. The seeing provides a great atmosphere and if you are lucky you will see Cookie!

Great breakfasts, two days running, friendly efficient hosts, lovely teashop in a lovely building in a lovely town.

Wonderful friendly tearoom with plenty of happy locals. Such a lovely place to sit and chat. A gorgeous little find.

A huge thank you to Jules and Scott for my delicious birthday cake, such a treat. We are regulars at the cafe and love our visits, the Blacksmiths tea and coffee shop is an integral part of village life and you can always count on a warm welcome. Thank you both again.

What an absolute little gem. I popped in for lunch after becoming stuck in the town and I cannot recommend this beautiful little cafe enough. A lovely feel to the place, listening to people chatting this is definitely a community cafe, the lady owner was very chatty and welcoming the food was great, their lovely little pup was so well behaved, didnt make a peep. I watched people come and go and tables were cleared and cleaned straight away. I will definitely be returning with friends for a bite and chat. 🥰

Absolutely fantastic take away Cream Tea. There was so much food for the price and it was all delicious. Thank you Julie for making my Mothers Day so easy and relaxing.

The Blacksmiths is such a credit to our little village. Lovely menu and always friendly and welcoming. We love seeing cookie the resident pup she just makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Would and have recommended to friends and family Keep doing what you...

You honestly couldn’t ask for a warmer welcome than at this cosy village cafe. The perfect spot for a warm cuppa and a slice of delicious cake after a walk, or to relax over a light lunch. Four legged friends are especially welcome, the owners love dogs and you may even meet a very special resident!!

Omg how fab, my daughter surprised me, she ordered the lunch that's prepared. We had so many sandwiches and cakes, half had to be taken home for the kids. I then took my daughter for her birthday. Love it here, and dig friendly 💜

Long term customer. It’s a fantastic place and a community hub. Good coffee, good food, good company including all the dogs.

Lovely and cosy tea rooms. Dog friendly, dogs have always been well behaved on visits and walking past. The food tastes great and presented nicely. Outside seating area as well as inside. Lovely owners who are welcoming. Would 100% recommend!

Visit this lovely tearoom weekly. Always made to feel very welcome ( and the numerous dogs I bring), fantastic coffee and food. Highly recommend them ☕️🐶

Lovely food, delicious hot chocolate and doggy friendly. The owners are so lovely and welcoming. Highly recommended.

5 stars for this fabulous little find! Delicious food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit

Lovely, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Doggy friendly. We are local and love to pop in when we walk the dog. The food is delicious and the cakes are yummy. I would highly recommend calling in and sampling their friendly welcome.

Had a lovely lunch here. Great food and friendly staff. Good range of food and drink choices. Allergies catered for. Thoroughly recommended

The Blacksmiths tea and coffee shop is amazing, the afternoon tea is divine, can eat in or take away, but must pre book it. Love the atmosphere and Scott and Julie are so welcoming, oh and there is pup cookie who loves a cuddle. Would...

Impromptu meet up with hubby and 2 teen children for lunch one day, small and cosy tea room, friendly atmosphere and tasty selection of well presented food, cake and drinks. Bonus it being Dog friendly.

I kept meaning to come in here as we are local and they do great enticing Facebook posts! The owners were very friendly, fab hot choc, cakes, tea and coffee for us. Particular highlight is of course the resident dog. Really Friendly and nice, great...

Extra kindness was shown recently to 🐾 little Freddie after a cold❄️ snow walk. He can’t leave his own review but the sausage and blanket were gratefully appreciated!!

Good cooked breakfast. Not a wide choice but all freshly cooked. Nice coffee. Reasonable prices. This little cafe was a great find after discovering that The Bear no longer offers cooked breakfasts. Thank you Blacksmiths!

Handily placed for anyone visiting nearby Batemans, Blacksmiths sells good locally-produced food. Plenty of on-street parking too.

Disgusting treatment of customer who's disabled daughter was sick whilst at thier premises. Mother had to cleanup mess with no assistance just supply of cleaning materials . Then they charged 10 pounds cleaning fee on bill. SHAMEFUL

Wonderful coffee shop with great food and excellent customer service. I visited with a friend prior to our visit to Sarah Raven’s beautiful garden and we had a delicious lunch. Thank you Julie and Scott for your attention to detail and for being lovely hosts....

Great cafe, good coffee, friendly owners helped us with some local knowledge as we are moving to the area. Pièce de résistance is the huge slice of chocolate/orange cake that tastes exactly like a giant Jaffa Cake! Love it.

Group of 4 of us visited and we had a great time. The hosts were brilliant, the service was quick and courteous and the food was wonderful. Highly recommended!!

Dropped in here today after a longish walk. Divine chocolate cake and a very friendly welcome. Also nice and warm on a cold day. Recommend.

Excellent afternoon tea in a traditional tea room, lovely owners, freshly made food, Burwash has a real village feeling. The tea room is also dog friendly. Lots of tea.

We stopped off for a spot of lunch and enjoyed fresh sandwiches and a pot of tea. Really friendly and helpful, felt very relaxing and the food was lovely.

On a short break, we visited the Blacksmiths twice. Its not often that you find a truly family run friendly place with great home cooked food and gorgeous cake. Julie and Scott are very passionate and attentive hosts with a great sense of humour, all...

Great sandwiches with a cold drink made a much needed lunch stop a treat. Saw the scones and cakes and bought some to take away. Ate them later in the day and they were delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated...

Burwash has for far too long lacked a tea room for those exploring the lime tree lined high street, lovely church with its interesting churchyard and stupendous views over the Sussex Weald. The Blacksmiths Tea and Coffee Shop ticks all the boxes for friendly service,...

Stopped here for coffee after walking from Batemans. Very pleasant owners- we had to leave do they offered to put my tea in a takeaway cup to save leaving it behind.

This is a lovely cafe with excellent coffee! A must visit if you're in the area, the cakes looked very delicious too!

You really need to visit this lovely cafe in Burwash High Street. Jules and Scott will make you really welcome! Their cakes are delish and they offer lovely lunches too. An absolute must.

We had a breakfast/brunch here on Sunday morning. Very friendly owners/hosts. We enjoyed a cappuccino each with bacon roll / cheese on toast which was all very nice, in a cosy coffee shop.

Welcoming tea/coffee shop in a beautiful village. Seemed to cater for everyone: walkers, cyclists, dog walkers and locals (all present on my visit!) Great coffee, and wonderful cakes baked by the owner. It felt a bit continental with the outside chairs and tables among the...

I don’t want to sound uncharitable as it’s a new venture under very difficult circumstances with the covid rules etc. it would be nice to see some healthy brown carbs on offer - wholemeal rolls. Maybe some carrot sticks aswell?

fabulous cappuccinos, friendly service. Great addition to Burwash. Beautifully thought-out....lovely time sitting in sunshine

Such a warm welcome. Lovely tea, coffee and cakes. Being a hot day we sat outside and could easily imagine we were in France. Everyone was made so welcome including our dogs. The cakes were beautiful, home made and huge slices.

Had a lovely morning at Blacksmith's! The owners are really lovely and welcoming, the space feels very inviting and although we only had teas and coffee the selection of cakes looks delicious. We took our kittie with us and he was very well looked after...

The Blacksmith’s is a fantastic new addition to Burwash high street and a real asset to the community. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the food is delicious - and made using locally sourced ingredients. A great place for breakfast or to stop in after...

A wonderful Teashop in a delightful location. We were very well looked after by friendly staff. Very close to the Kipling statue. Excellent

We were visiting Burwash on a day out and decided to stop for a drink and a small bite to eat. The proprietors made us feel very welcome and were very friendly. The tearoom was very clean and inviting from the outside and inside.The menu...

We stopped here on our way from Folkestone to Hove and enjoyed a marvelous tea, scones and ice cream. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and even our dog was given a treat. So good to find such places still exist. Thoroughly recommend
