The Coach House in Brighton and Hove

Cosy blankets and outdoor heater provided as wanted to sit outdoors in the lovely garden despite it being a bit chilly! Gorgeous coffee with milk alternatives available. Staff very helpful 👍

This place has changed. The food is hugely overpriced for the portion we were given. The service was very slow and the back door was kept open so it was very cold. It was a completely different experience a couple of months ago, so I am not sure if this was just an off day.

Lovely little tea rooms had a gorgeous bacon sandwich.

Lovely cozy cafe with great food, drinks and friendly staff!

Lovely cafe in Patcham village. Lovely decor and friendly staff. Good service. Beautiful outside space on nicer weather days. It's definitely worth a visit.

Great place, totally recommend, first class

Freshly cooked, in person table service, plenty of seating as lots in the garden area at the back. Friendly, polite and welcoming staff

I don't think you can charge £7 for a tuna sandwich which comes with only a napkin.

The lady that runs this place is lovely and makes the best bread pudding. Is a cosy spot where one can unwind with a lovely cuppa and give a scratch to one's sugar cravings with a lot of local and homemade options. Nice to see some gluten free cakes. Will definitely recommend it. Coffe is also a good strength with a pleasant roast. Will certainly come back. Make sure you get there before noon to catch the breakfast menu.

Very nice place to have a coffee or breakfast, staff are really nice polite and helpful. Atmosphere stands out that is what singles it out from other places.

Food is good, if a little expensive for what you get, we paid £7 for a tuna sandwich, which didn't come with any sides. But the staff are lovely and it's a cute place for a brunch session as they serve a wide range of drinks.

Lovely local village cafe to sit outside for lunch and chill on a sunny day

Lovely cafe tucked away and ready to miss when you're driving/walking past. The garden is wonderful, it's secluded with some lovely planting. It is sheltered from the wind. They now also have local honey for sale.

Very cute place with nice garden and breakfast options.

Schon viele Jahre fahren wir nach Brighton, aber diese Perle ist uns entgangen, cream tea war erste Sahne und der äussere Bereich ein zauberhafter Ort zum Sitzen

One of the nicest cafe I have been to in the UK. Menu was small yet a lot of choice, exactly what you needed for breakfast. The service was amazing and food was delicious. Highly recommended if in the area

Such a lovely cafe, staff were super friendly! The food was incredible and I loved the sustainability of the mugs they used so much that I plan to buy a set myself. This is a must visit when you are next on your way to Brighton!

The Secret Garden Mel and her girls work very hard to produce beautiful, delicious breakfasts but in addition to that, wonderful sausage rolls, triple chocolate brownies and millionaire’s slices, plus other delicious cakes. These are all homemade by them. All this is accomplished in a small kitchen. The ‘Secret Garden’ out the back of the cafe is large with plenty of space - Mel has put heaters in for the winter months. Do go along to try The Secret Garden!

Fabulous! My walking group arrived as the delightful lady running it was about to close, nonetheless, she immediately welcomed us in. Superb service, magnificent cakes and even refills to the tea pots were offered in a wonderful secret garden. I really can't praise this place highly enough; a huge thank you from a group who had just completed a long walk; you made it a perfect end to the day.

Absolutely amazing experience popped in for breakfast before a day of sightseeing and shopping, nothing was to much for any of the staff, food tasted great, could tell the use of quality ingredients, and great coffee, to the point we went in to get a takeout coffee before heading to our next destination the next day. Couldn’t recommend a visit here high enough 🥰

Great coffee, great food and and a nice vibe.

Unfortunately very small and expensive, staff not very friendly

WOW, me and my partner stumbled across this little gem on our long walk from Burgess Hill to Brighton and decided to stop for a coffee. We were welcomed by two lovely ladies - the homemade cakes / sussage rolls at the counter looks so beautiful we could not resist. Both the coffees and treats were lovely. We are looking forward to going back once the weather improves to have a full breakfast and enjoy the beautiful garden! Would recommend this place in a heartbeat X

Didnt eat as onle meeting friend for coffee, we stumbled on this place and it was just magical with brilliant service

Lovely bread pudding, best in Brighton

Really nice find. Really top-notch food, really nice to unwind after a long week at work over a really nice coffee & a toasted sandwich 🥪

Fantastic hideaway cafe. Small and intimate, it felt warm and welcoming. On offer food was freshly prepared and tailored to the needs of the customer., and was so tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wish I lived nearer so that I could visit more.

Hidden gem in patcham village, super friendly staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere, the best coffee I've had in so so long, tasty soup and delicious toasted sourdough sandwiches. Will be popping back soon for pastries or a Xmas afternoon tea with mulled wine! Such a fab place.

Lovely food and lovely staff, will definitely be back soon

Such a lovely place, the garden area is beautiful, with plenty of shaded areas. Good food, sensible prices, great setting.

What a gem. The staff are so friendly and the decor inside out is fresh and modern but quaint and inviting at the same time. They are very dog friendly which is a must for me and my cavapoo - Tilly. The secret garden outside is fantastic much bigger than I expected and gorgeous. I'm coming back to try one of their afternoon teas.

Great local place. Small kitchen but big flavor.

Called in for quick pot of tea, lovely garden. Decided to take home a piece of Banana bread and was charged £6.00 so beware of prices charged!

Lovely venue in the heart of Patcham. Special Jubilee brunch.

Lovely food, in quaint small venue. Lovely staff and lovely outin garden when sun is out

Such a lovely little cafe. Food was flawless and the staff were very friendly and nice

Visited the Coach House for breakfast with our friends yesterday. In all the years I have lived in the area, I have never happened to spot this lovely place and I wish I had found it earlier. We sat in the secret garden at the rear of the cafe and it was a perfect, relaxed setting for us to enjoy a chat and delicious food. I would recommend this place for the excellent food, the quality of the service provided and the beautiful location.

We had smoothies, scones with jam and butter and a salmon and cream cheese sandwich. It was all delicious wholesome food presented beautifully and enjoyed in a tranquill garden.

Fantastic little place with lovely outside space. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend

Have been in the area for a few weeks and visited this place thankfully and it's a gem. The service is great and the sandwiches and cakes are to die for. When the weather is nice you can sit out in the garden in the sun.

I love this place. Foods always great, friendly staff and great atmosphere. 5 stars 🌟 from me 🙏🏽❤️

Such friendly people, very quick service and when the food and drinks arrived, we certainly weren’t let down! The vegetarian breakfast was faultless and the hot chocolate was perfect. Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Friendly family run hang out zone Always ready to serve you with a smile

Delicious food, lovely venue and great service. I had the smashed avocado, scrambled eggs and chorizo and can't wait to go again soon!

Beautiful place, amazing courtyard garden and the food was fantastic! Took some cakes with us for our journey and they were amazing.

Since re-opening I've been here twice. The first time, great, lovely sandwich and friendly staff, the second time, the opposite. The chef clearly didn't want to be there. I'd ordered a tuna sandwich and literally got bread (no choice) and tuna, nothing else, no salad etc, felt like an overpriced petrol station sandwich.

I visited on a Saturday morning with a friend who had already been and recommended it.Started with a nutella latte which was very nice (great barista) and then a full english which was also top notch. The eggs and sausage were excellent. My friend had fruit pancakes with maple syrup which were also good. These were cooked by a Canadian chef which might have helped!Overall it was a very good breakfast meal with fast service and a cute garden to sit in. Recommended.

My wife and I visited Brighton on a day trip and stopped at Coach House for breakfast after seeing so many good reviews.The first positive was it's position in a convenient spot with free parking just off the A23/A27 interchange.It is a quaint little place in a small row of shops and we sat in their attractive rear garden.Service was professional and attentive and the cooked breakfasts and coffees were of a very high standard.I'd certainly recommend this as a great stop on the way in or out of Brighton although it is a little far from the City Centre. 5 stars all round.

Very friendly service, large helpings of freshly made salad. Good children's menu, clean and bright surroundings. Can't find anything to fault! I have been about four times now and I am never disappointed.

Me and my friends are looking for some place which we can eat and bond at the same time. Thank God this place was recommend to us. Great Food Great service! We will make sure come back again.

Good appealing and varied menu. On a different level with presentation and quality of food. Couldnt fault service and attention to detail down to individually picked condiments. Experience it for yourself as over above what you'd normally expect in a cafe.

Popped in for lunch as told of new ownership. Excellent food a real revelation and highly recommended.

After being recommended to come here countless times by friends , I finally managed to come by. 100% beats any cafe in Brighton and hove for quality of food , especially their breakfasts. Great value and atmosphere. I had the smoked salmon and avocado on toast with poached eggs. Was one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend this place. Will be returning next week!

Lovely and friendly cafe with gorgeous garden and a great selection of breakfast and lunch options including gluten free and dairy free milk! Yey! Such an asset to Brighton and Patcham!

It is a beautiful cafe with a lovely atmosphere. The coffee was lovely and the menu has something for everyone. The service and staff were excellent.

Went to the Coach House in Patcham yesterday as I had seen it on Instagram & thought the food looked really nice. My husband & I went for breakfast & had a lovely experience. The staff were all really friendly & welcoming even though they were busy. I had poached eggs on toast and my husband had the breakfast sandwich & we were both very happy. Fresh food that tasted great & was nicely presented on the plate. Would definitely recommend to book as it is very small if you can't get out to the garden due to bad weather. We will be back!

The Coach House truly is a hidden gem.. with an actual hidden garden! We have been a few times now, every time the quality of service and food has been outstanding not to mention the obvious passion for the trade, locally sourced food cooked to perfection. A personal suggestion would be to try their bloody mary's they suit all occasions (very hearty)! Very highly recommended!

Lovely food without having to travel in to busy Brighton, absolute no brainer if you are in to your food and coffee!

Wow what a lovely little find. Welcomed from the moment we entered unti we left. We all had breakfasts, locally sourced fresh produce, coffee was really good too. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend to all.

Sheltered outside garden area, great salmon sandwich and friendly staff. Perfect!

Myself and my friend were heavily pregnant when visiting and the staff went above and beyond to get our food out fast. They even bought our food to the car so we didn't have to waddle along to collect. The food was delicious, fresh and you could tell the ingredients were good quality. Will defo be returning with little one and recommending to all

Lovely fresh and locally sourced food. Poached eggs really nice and staff friendly and efficient. Give it a try, well worth it and the secret garden is a hidden gem.

Lovely place for gorgeous, freshly cooked and locally sourced good quality food. Poached eggs were really good and the service excellent with friendly, efficient staff. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic English breakfast and coffee, great service and nice garden out the back. Hidden gem in Patcham well worth a visit.

Had breakfast and coffee with a friend here.The place was amazing The staff were friendly, helpful,and service was always done with a smile.The breakfast was the best I have had in a very long time.It arrived in good time and hot.The coffee was out of this world you have to try this place trust me you definitely will not be disappointed. This cafe is a little treasure and the outdoor space is amazing

I came to the coach house for a cooked breakfast with my Nan. We sat in the sun in the lovely garden area, I asked for my eggs to be cooked well done and my bacon extra crispy and all was cooked to perfection. We also had a Victoria Sponge for afters and it was by far the nicest slice of cake we have had for a long time. This will now be our regular spot for our monthly get togethers. 5* all the way.

100% worth a visit and such a bonus to have in Patcham. They have gluten free bread and dairy free milk and are child friendly with lots of delicious options with a warm welcome! They used to have lots of toys which is great to entertain littles ones but I presume these have been taken away due to COVID? Oh and the garden is gorgeous!

Im traveling the UK with my girlfriend. Ended up here on the way out of Brighton and got happily surprised how great it was! Personally i had the best breakfast so far in the UK! Super fresh vegetarian breakfast also vegan options. Staff is very friendly! U made our day 😁 thx guys

The breakfast was absolutely delicious - and it was piping hot! The service was lovely by really friendly staff I will definitely be returning here!

Had a lovely bit of food in the Coach House garden area! Kings Breakfast washed down with a Banana Milkshake!

I heard the coach house has reopened with new owner so decided to try. Lovely surprise. Sat in the garden in the sunshine. Excellent breakfast, Scrambled egg,smoked salmon,avocado, choice of toast , coffee. Peaceful surroundings. The inside is small but the new owners have plans so given time I think this will definitely be a meeting place in patcham. Busy with takeaway too.

My wife and I stopped at The Coach House on the recommendation of a friend. Parking in the street was free but a little busy. The cafe is in a recess between some other businesses and hard to see from the car. The inside dining area and open kitchen are small but we got a friendly welcome. We did not expect to get waved through to a very attractive, sunny rear garden devoid of any traffic noise. Almost full of locals, it is clearly a popular place. Service was swift and professional. The coffee and juice was of surprising quality. Whilst the menu was slightly pricey, the food I saw served seemed very nice and I opted for the eggs and avocado. The organic poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the toast was a very nice sourdough bread. My wife had eggs with salmon that she thoroughly enjoyed. This was a fleeting visit but I will certainly try to stop in again on our next visit to Brighton. A unique and charming little place.

This is the 3rd time coming here in a week, consistently the food has been 10/10. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in a cafe. I also recommend the Smoked salmon and avocado on toast or the full English. Great service and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning for a 4th visit soon!

My family and I visited the Coach House for brunch. We used the free street parking outside which was really convenient. We were met with a warm welcome from the staff and talked through the menu and the specials on offer. We sat in the lovely garden out the back, it’s a real sun trap but also has umbrellas for shade. The garden is nice and enclosed so we were able to relax. The cafe was clean and our food and drinks were freshly prepared, my scrambled eggs on toast and iced latte were delicious! I will be visiting again soon and have recommended the cafe to several friends. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Just reopened post pandemic. Were a bit busy on the day - but extremely friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating options

Fantastic afternoon tea with lovely staff. They catered to my vegan, gluten free friend without fuss and made us feel very welcome.

Groupon cream tea was tasty but limited and felt rushed.

Went for afternoon tea. Invited by my friend. Food was absolutely lovely. So fresh. Homemade & delicious. We chose a sandwich each. I had egg mayo, my friend prawn cocktail. There was a good selection to choose from. Followed by cakes & a scone each with plenty of clotted cream & delicious strawberry jam. We shared a large pot of tea. Good service & mouthwatering food. A shame the venue is so compact.

I was grateful to come here and taste a wonderful english breakfast. The owner and staff are very friendly. Thank you for share your space and cook skills.

Excellent food and service. Always a pleasurable experience.

Siempre nos gusta probar diferentes lugares para tomar un café y conversar, así que pensamos en visitar The Coach House.GRAN ERROR.El área interior no es más grande que la sala de estar promedio.Puede pensar que es muy pintoresco, pero crea un grave problema de ruido.Tan pronto como fluyen dos conversaciones y la cafetera está funcionando, se vuelve muy incómodo.Incluso el personal lucha. Oyeron mal nuestro pedido dos veces por dos cafés y dos pasteles.La elección de los pasteles fue muy limitada. Solo dos disponibles.Probamos el plátano y el arce, que esperaría que estuvieran húmedos.Fue el pastel más seco que he probado.Ciertamente no volveríamos y te recomendamos que vayas a otro lado.

Do stop here! A wonderful and hearty fresh breakfast cooked to order. Tasty eggs, toast and bacon. Hot fresh coffee and tea. All served in a former coach house by the lovely proprietors with a smile. A must stop if driving from London to Brighton.

Great food, very high quality and lovely service. A very nice afternoon tea 😊👍

The bread tasted dry and so did the scones.Other reviews say how fresh the sandwiches and scones were but sadly that wasn't the case.

This is the third time I have been here,each time hoping it has improved. The bread bith white and brown was stale and dry and the scones were very dry.Altogether very disappointing.I won't be coming back again it's not worth it.

My friend and I came in for afternoon tea. The food was really nice and you could have as much tea as you liked. The ladies working there were really friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Small friendly cafe in Old Patcham Village. Great for breakfast and lunches

This is the worst service I have had in years. In fact it was no service at all. Currently house hunting in the area and went in for a quick break. Sat there for at least 20 minutes waiting for service. Then two people came in and were served within a couple of the minutes. I was too angry to speak so left. If we do find somewhere to live in the village we won't be using this cafe. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Great food i had the breakfast my partner had a jacket potato. Very cramped hope to visit again

Most importantly for me it's dog friendly.. quaint café in the heart of Patcham old village with it's beautiful hidden garden... fantastic food and coffee and happy friendly staff... great place to have a coffee and something to eat after a good walk with my dog and just relax

Delicious afternoon tea with great choice of sandwiches. We opted for beef & horseradish with rocket and smoked salmon & cream cheese (freshly made ). Beautiful fresh scones with real clotted cream & great choice of cakes. We needed a doggy bag! Really nice tea too & pot not just topped up with hot water, an extra fresh pot made when we were running low. I think we had 4 cups each! Lovely service. We’ll definitely recommend & will go back for sure. Thank you for looking after us x

Good afternoon tea, particularly at Groupon prices.

Delicioso té de la tarde. Elección de sándwiches recién hechos a pedido con generosos rellenos. Elección de bollo servido con mermelada afrutada y rica crema coagulada junto con una selección de mini pasteles de crema. Todo ello regado con su selección de bebidas calientes con recargas ilimitadas. Amable, personal y ambiente encantador. Además, incluso empacaron lo que no pudimos comer. Una forma encantadora de pasar la tarde. Mi madre y yo lo disfrutamos inmensamente. Gracias.

Lovely little tea house, with excellent food. They have a small and secluded garden which is a delight. In good weather as well as indoor seating and a small marquee. Highly recommended, but can be busy.

Afternoon Cream Tea for 2 was lovely, but I would prefer my crusts cut off! Lots of lovely cakes and scones, bottomless tea and coffee.

Exceptionally good breakfast, great service and a cosy garden for when the sun is out.

Great all day breakfast so we had it for lunch!

Wonderful staff, good food, excellent value and a decent selection of wines. The decor is wonderful, and it's worth popping in simply for a drink. It has lovely outside area which is fantastic in the summer. When friends visit Brighton I often bring them here.

Aparecimos aquí el día del Duck Fayre y es una pequeña cafetería encantadora, la comida tiene un precio razonable pero puede llevar mucho tiempo llegar a la mesa.Esperamos más de 40 minutos para que llegaran nuestros desayunos y nuestros amigos que se unieron a nosotros esperaron más tiempo.Cuando llegó la comida no estaba muy caliente, estaba tibia pero no caliente, los cafés no estaban muy calientes pero eran potables. Nos gustó aquí, así que esperamos volver en un día menos ocupado para probar algunas de las otras cosas deliciosas que suenan en el menú.
