The Bridge Cafe in Hastings

Had sausage baguette with bubble 👍😃

My first visit to this little cafe by the sea. Looks tidy, nice decor, clean tables, small outside space. We were a bit late as they were closing in about 10 mins as we got there. We hadn't realised the closing time was early. The staff member was reluctant.  We didn't feel welcome at all. The person took our order mumbling at us. Barely speaking. I got my drink from the fridge myself after she had not got it for me or brought it over to the table. It was all a bit awkward. As we were eating the staff member was sweeping right round us . Literally about a foot away from my chair. Banging around us. Making it quite obvious she wasn't happy and wanted to leave in a rush. There was alot of raised voices even when just 4 people in there. Nice chef gave us the food and was very polite , didnt seem bothered we were there late, just a happy person i think. Food prices are a bit high for what we got. £8 ham egg and chips. The ham looked nice, could be from the butchers down the road but when i ate it , it was a bit to chewy and fatty. The chips were cooked well. The eggs looked like they had been put in a dirty oily pan. Cooked fine but the colour of all the dirty bits just not appealing. The beans have a strange tang, maybe just a cheap version that can be changed. when asked if we could have poached egg instead of fried we were asked for an extra pound to do it. Small but enough room for at least 25 people. Wouldn't return.

Harry's special with a couple of fried slices and black pud added 😋

Lovely small cafe, the food was nice, good portion sizes, our group of 4 didn't have to wait too long and the hazelnut latte was lovely. Waitress was helpful. Would visit here again 😊

Pre cooked bacon and sausages sadly won’t go again. Watery cheap sauces not recommended been before but thought I would give it a second go sadly won’t go again

Very nice cafe the chef's specials is the one to go for very filling and tasty

Good honest breakfast and you add to the menus as well. Service quick, cafe full and busy as usual, just shows what a good place this litte gem is. £22 For 2 number 2 breakfasts with additional black pudding on one and mushrooms on the other with 2 orange juices, 1 tea and 2 coffees

Best cafe I have ever been to. Lovely staff, very reasonable prices and easy relaxed atmosphere. See you again soon.

Ha been my go to breakfast for many years always a friendly welcome from harry and staff!!!! Always a Harry’s special for me !!!! Delicious

Great place! The waitress is super nice and friendly, the food is very tasty (especially the vegetarian English breakfast) and the decor makes you feel comfortable!

Nice quiet little cafe amazing food even cook the eggs the way i like have visited many times

Food was delicious and reasonably priced, my only gripe was it took so long to get it

Great veggie breakfast, good size portions and very accommodating to any changes to the set menu. Staff friendly and helpful.

Superb cafe serving well prepared breakfasts and light lunches by friendly staff.Great value for money.

We visited for breakfast with a relative and his dog on a very wet and windy day. We were made extremely welcome from the outset. Service was friendly and swift. Food was very good and nice and hot! It is nice to go to a café where they care about the customer and don’t rush you to leave. We would definitely return.

Great cafe...the owner Harry..cooks a lovely Breakfast.. And always polite..

Banging coffee in a mug big enough to warm both my chilly hands. Top class veggie breakfast. I'm full and not finished yet he plate

A beautiful cup of tea, friendly and welcoming staff..

Freshly cooked to order and great value. Down to earth and very friendly.

Perfection wonderful full breakfast today

Very nice well cooked breakfast in pleasant atmosphere

Friendly staff, very clean and tidy cafe, only had a cup of tea, but the breakfasts that came out looked lovely, and the people that ate them looked very happy with their food.

Doesn't look much from the outside to be honest I didnt even know it was there but wow I was surprised its a lovely little cafe the food was excellent the staff were friendly honestly the best breakfast in hastings by far brilliant little cafe highly recommend

The Bridge Cafe never disappoints- have been going here for years but haven't been for about 12 months and so glad we decided to go today, it is as good as ever, outstanding value, great quality food, generous portions and great service from Harry. The interior looks lovely too, think it has had a refurb. Highly recommended.

This is a quaint cafe so lovly right near to the beach and the breakfast is amazing very friendly good value for money too highly recommended 👌

i love this place and the workers are so kind

Jovial owner Harry nothing to much trouble very clean and tidy establishment

Food excellent & good quality. Very reasonable price

A bit chilly but the food and nice staff make up for that.

Found this place on Google, very good food and excellent service.

My partner and I travelled from Eastbourne for this breakfast , we had a breakfast each , which had drink included , I'm pretty fussy with how I like things cooked but nothing was too much trouble , the food was absolutely delicious , great quality produce and coked as you like it , really nice and hot , Harry is lovely as are the ladies who work with him , to me this place is one of the best food places for breakfast in esst Sussex hands down , really good prices too , the bubble and squeak is just perfection ! This is our place to go when we want decent food in a lovely place nice atmosphere too , well worth a visit you would be mad not to ...once you've been youlle never go anywhere else !

Best fry up money can buy, I've my fair share, nothing tops it.

Fabulous old fashioned breakfast / brunch cafe . If you love fried food , cooked fresh and huge steaming mugs of tea you will love it !!

Excellent food friendly staff will definitely come again 👍

Best cafe, love the fact they make home made bubble n squeak

Great breakfast! Good banter and service.

Best breakfast in Hastings/ St Leonards By far...

Great cafe .nice staf owner very welcoming friendly .good quality.good value

Open early, lovely breakfast, great price

Great place for food and the staff excellent

Always enjoyed the place, easy to park, food is quick, nice and reasonably priced, owner and staff pleasant, nothing bad to say.

A traditional breakfast. Local must have experience

It's so nice ,clean and modern ..It was my first visit but I will definitely be back as I can have a coffee before the Drs .....small front door into a TARDIS The young lady was ever so friendly and polite ... See ya soon xx

Excellent breakfast fast efficient and a good size proper breakfast that didn't cost the earth

Breakfast is delicious here. Served hot and very tasty. Staff are amazing and friendly

Great value for money amazing breakfast

Small but roomy, great breakfast and very reasonably priced. The #1 with Egg, Bacon, Sausage, Tomatoes and toast was £5. Cooked great and tasty too.

My son took me here for breakfast, lovely place quite small but a smashing breakfast & the staff were great the only disappointment for me were the tinned tomatoes instead of fresh but otherwise would definitely worth a visit...

Slowest service ever with average food.

Good food and good service, a nice place to visit.

Been visiting Harry for few years now always freindly food is pretty good too, clean and tidy , loos have been updated,

So glad we noticed this place. Small little cafe we had passed the few days before and didn't even notice. Food came fast and waitress was lovely she made the best milkshakes for the girls. The locals in the cafe were very welcoming aswell. Food was spot on and drinks

Slow and poor service, clearly not caring to make a good impression on people who are not local. Not even making clear what's included in the price of what you're ordering... :( The food was abundant at least

Food took at least 45 minutes to arrive Service were a little bit bothered when we asked for tap water We ordered a full breakfast with scrambled eggs but we got fried egg instead. When we asked back for our scrambled, the staff told us “I did not get scrambled” And to to add the cherry to the cake, we ordered a full breakfast (that included coffee) but were charged apart for the cappuccino that we ordered. The staff informed us (at paying time and not at ordering time) that cappuccinos were not included in the full breakfast. Food was ok.

Very nice interior with great decor, service very slow, female server miserable . Bacon sandwich average. Still very busy, can't be that bad.

Its an amazing place the food is also amazing ...harry the owner is great always happy and great banter

Bangin brekkers !! Nice little cafe ! Easy to park for free round side ! Reasonable prices

Great atmosphere clean,good service. Good portions, reasonably priced great food.

Very good breakfast cant fault it.very freindly

Lovely small cafe with a nice atmosphere and a cosy feel plus a very polite and helpful waitress serving the tables . I highly recommend this cafe for its great prices and nice cosy feel inside . The bacon and mushrooms on last visit were so tasty 😋

Lovely pit stop after a walk along the beach Highly recommend good food lovely staff

Food cooked to perfection and the service was fantastic

Harry’s place has always been fantastic in all the years I’ve been going. Great breakfast and decent prices. Try it if you haven’t, possibly the best in St Leonards if not all of Hastings.

Excellent service and friendly service 👏 👍 👌

Nice breakfast at a reasonable price. I thought the bacon was really tasty. Pleasent staff and attentive. I enjoyed it and would eat there again.

Very nice and the place was nice and clean. What I had was well done and very good value.

Love this cafe foods always good top marks

Best breakfast I've had in a very long time. Lively service. Good ambiance. Clean. What a pleasure to sit at a spacious table. No cramped excuse for a table. Highly recommended.

The staff are excellent and I know that the owner is from a foreign land but had come here and runs his own business and works very hard..a real credit and a success story...

Always a great breakfast, I would rate it the best in town.

Ham, eggs & chips Oh gorgeous chips - perfect and proper ham Oh sooooo yum yum. I’m going back for more….

Very nice cafe run by Albanian Guy! Good food

You can only love Harry plus great food and nice staff

Great Cafe friendly staff fantastic food

Lovely food worth the wait yummy

Although in plain site on the corner of the main road, this cafe Ca often be missed and is deceptive in size as it goes back a fair way. It opens at 7am, which is better than most in the area and offers freshly cooked breakfast/brunch menu. Clean and covid secure, well worth a visit.

Went to meet a friend but missed them,but a friendly welcome.

First time here, and won't be last time ... Great food and lovely cuppa 👍🙂

Had a take away brekkie & I know from previous experiences he gets busy! I called up & pre ordered which was not a problem, at all. He is courteous & professional. What I love about this place is that, he puts his heart & soul in to his cooking! Most importantly, his customers. Winner winner👌🏽

Brilliant. Really lovely atmosphere and great serv8. Yummy hot chocolate and great chips. Great menu choices too.

Good service, good food, good prices

On the outside you may have second thoughts but inside it's very cosy. Food is good.

Great food and very good staff 👍

No covid19 precautions taken.No social distancing,no gaps between tables so you are literally 3 feet away from the person on the next table.No sign of any track and trace laws being followed.The member of staff cooking and serving food to tables not wearing a face covering. It's places like this that will cause another lockdown with their irresponsible attitude.

Nice breakfast ... Polite staff ... Good pricing .. always a pleasure to come here

Brilliant cafe great food and top staff

Great breakfast ,i have become quite the regular at harrys cafe(Bridge cafe) Always quite a happy relaxed atmosphere.

Great refurb, good breakfast, friendly service, reasonable, proper coffee. Im Happy@Harrys

Best cafe in Hastings honestly if you havent tried do been going there for a few years now

Very nice little cafe, correctly poached eggs aswell, and decent prices!. Worth a visit.

My partner and I went for breakfast this morning, my partner had a ‘Harry’s special’ breakfast which was a massive plate of food and well worth the money! I asked if it would be possible for pancakes (pregnancy cravings) even though they wasn’t on the menu.. Harry said this wasn’t a problem and they was amazing! Hopefully going to be a new addition to the menu from now on... who doesn’t love a pancake! Nothing seems to much for them and it’s such a lovely home warming atmosphere. We will definitely come in more often and would recommend to anyone.

Used to be very good, but breakfast was served like a dogs dinner. Not one bit of thought in presentation

We've been coming here for years. LOVE this place for breakfast-the best in town.

Good food good value and friendly owner

Love here is absolutely lovely always so fresh and the place always clean

The best breakfast in St Leonards. Freshly made & hot with free refills of tea & coffee. Clean & bright premises. Will definitely visit again.

Highly recommended for a super generous veggie breakfast. All perfectly cooked and nicely presented. A bright friendly no fuss place, with parking, perfect.

Great small cafe, food cooked to order, great cooked breakfast.

Because I like lots of greasy food and what use is a fried breakfast without Grease

Excellent brekky, great price, lovely staff.
