The Cobblestone Tea House in Horsham

Cream tea: Won't go again - very DISAPPOINTED. Good bits: Very old building with quaint approach Lovely staff Decent cup of tea Bad bits: Apart from the plastic tablecloths or bare tables: Scones look great but are terrible. No flavour. No flavour of butter, think they forgot the sugar, or used thin milk ... Whatever they were made of, they tasted more like some sort of flour and water/thin milk Sticky in the middle as if a day old or not cooked enough in the first place Lack of sultanas in fruit scones I didn't say much at the time as a guest was generously paying for us all. It turned out they hadn't said anything as I'd bothered to take them there (and had told them what a lovely place it is/was). The next day I made some scones myself and bought cream and strawberry jam. Unsolicited, my guests were making remarks, tones and gestures about not having enjoyed the Cobblestones scones, and they had been disappointing, that my scones were far better than those in the tea room, that's how a scone should be, taste, ... etc (not to butter me up - they seemed relieved to be able to say what they'd thought about Cobblestones scones) (Negligible: The cream wasn't a very generous portion for the size of scones, and although I didn't pay attention to the packaging I think it was Rodda's. With their turnover the cream must be fresh however it was not the same as from the very fresh pot I bought.) For £8.50 Spring 2025 I'd expect a decent cream tea. Even Morrison's do better with their mass produced scones. National Trust scones are usually very good - try to find one of their tea shops instead, or go just to be in an old building and just have a pot of tea. You'll get a china tea cup but not a china teapot.

I’ve known Janine for a long time. A lovely person, the staff are extremely helpful given that I am disabled and the chefs are great would highly recommend.

Worth a visit for the ambience alone...but mind your head, people were shorter in the 15th century 😄. Good food, friendly staff...what's not to like? We'll be back.

Nice oldie world cafe, good choice of food. Nice oldie world cafe, good choice of food Nice oldie world cafe, good choice of food

Great service and tea rooms. Had a nice sausage sandwich . As the breakfast is a bit pricey. However lovely old tearooms and worth a visit.

The biggest and best value breakfast you'll ever get in Sussex! Worth travelling to as we did. We had one extra large full English and one vegan breakfast (with the best vegan sausages I've tasted). We've also been here for lunch and had huge, filled jacket potatoes. Whatever you order will last you all day! Just one negative, it was cold inside on a cold day, slightly too uncomfortable to stay for long.

This is great I would give it a 3.8 out of 5 but I’m a very strict critic. It’s delicious sausage and bacon were juicy and delicious! I would get the full English you should come here!

This is one of our favourite places. We've been coming for years and it feels like a lovely little break from life's stresses. The atmosphere is always cosy, with a very unique old cottage decor. The staff are always so friendly, welcoming and helpful (without exception) and are a big reason for why we keep coming back. Everything we've ever ordered has been outstanding. This is now THE place for my favourite hot chocolate and English breakfast and anyone I bring along agrees. I would seriously recommend this if you need a reminder to slow down and just treat yourself.

Lovely place to eat with excellent food and drinks. The bacon, sausages and ham (all sourced from the locally) were delicious. Olde worlde building with beautiful exposed beams gives a lovely feel to the place. Service was friendly and efficient and will definitely return on our next visit to Steyning.

Beautiful high quality food. The bacon and sausages came from the local butchers. And they gave us a plate of fried potatoes for free. The service is wonderful!!! Everything was Absolutely delicious!!!

What a lovely little place. Came here with our 2 kids (5 & 8) who especially loved the ultimate hot chocolate. Great service & very yummy food!

Lovely tea house, absolutely delicious cakes (beautiful selection, very hard to choose) and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely brunch with family during October half term - we're all vegetarian and we were very well catered for, thank you for having us! x

Lovely place tucked away in steyning, service was prompt and can get a breakfast all day . Been here before and was not disappointed . Would recommend

Found this little gem by pure chance. Dogs more than welcome with a set aside café and specialised menu. Unexpectedly the human breakfast was the best we have had in a while. It was good quality and served piping hot.Very difficult to get these days. We would definitely go again.

Our favourite place in Steyning. We can try and get here every Sunday for the fabulous breakfasts and sometime mid -week for the huge yummy cakes! 🥰

Nice atmosphere Friendly staff Great place to stop off and enjoy a break The Ultimate hot chocolate was delicious too, a

Perfect spot for brunch. Delicious as always! The portions are generous and food is cooked fresh to order. Relaxing atmosphere to catch up with friends and family.

Great place to go for lovely food and cakes. There is an outdoor seating area for sunny days. The staff were very welcoming.

Hadn’t had a full English for quite a while and found this place en-route from Brighton. The menu caters for every diet. The plate of Full English was exceptional - bacon & sausage from a local butcher and a full, hot plate! Definitely recommended and will return when in the area.

Great food, lovely place, child friendly, high chairs for little ones. Friendly helpful staff, will definitely be back!

Me and my family enjoyed eating here a lot.from the environment to the aesthetic the entire experience was lovely, the food exceeded our expectations and we left with a full stomach feeling better than we came in.

Lovely quaint little place, clean and very friendly and welcoming staff. Steeped in history. Had a tea cake and ice-cream and all very good.

Second time visiting this lovely little tea shop. The scones come warm and are huge. Friendly staff and a great selection of cakes, a must visit if in the area

A must visit if your in in the area. Very unique area to relax and have lunch. Food is 5 star along with a very tasty Latte. Staff are very friendly.

The staff were so lovely and friendly, our food came out fast and was really nice. Very comfortable place with a great atmosphere. Really recommend for couples and families.

The day before our visit we asked if we could have an afternoon tea at 16.30 . We were told that was ok. But when we arrived the next day , they said it was not possible , so we ordered a cream tea , cappuccino and sandwiches . They didn’t tell us that the restaurant closes at 17.00. So while we were still eating , they started to clean the table and surroundings and asked us to pay the bill. We felt very uncomfortable and left before we could finish our meal at ease…

Amazing salted caramel milkshake and halloumi and pesto bagel. Nice warming place with lovely staff. Would recommend 100%

A great start to our weekend, delicious cheese scones and fab cappuccinos in a lovely tearoom full of charm. Can recommend.

Beautiful quaint hidden treasure. Warmly greeted, lovely staff & wholesome food Magic setting. Lots of variety. A real treat

Best bacon and Brie toasties with local butcher bacon very friendly customer service and lovely feel of the place very antique.

We visited the tea house after our trip to Coombe farm. We reached it via the cobblestone walk way, it was like stepping back in time. We were greeted by friendly staff who were very welcoming. The coffee is great the selection of cakes and scones is varied and were all very delicious, we also had sandwiches which were tasty with very fresh bread! We highly recommend a visit!!

Staying in the village on a holiday. We had a full English and salmon on toast, it was delicious! Lovely old style tea room with low ceilings, helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere!

The moment you walk in the staff are friendly, We came in just before the breakfast cut off and they advised us to order quickly so we weren’t disappointed, which was nice and took our order straight to the chef! The coffee is great and the staff are very patient. We have been here a few times and the food is great and comforting. The environment is relaxed and very homely. I would advice to watch your head as it’s in a old cottage which is lovely but low ceilings.

Gorgeous characterful tea room. Hidden away behind the high street, cute place with delicious cakes, coffee and plenty of other treats.

Came here for Easter Sunday brunch. Staff are super friendly and decor quaint and cosy. Great coffee and hot chocolate. The full English is incredible. Very tasty, big portions and served nice and hot. The cakes looked amazing but we were too full. Thank you Cobblestone Tea house. We will be back 🩷

We chose to have an amazing cooked breakfast which was served by lovely, friendly and cheerful waitresses. It made such a difference eating in such a beautifully decorated teahouse.

We had the Farmer's Feast today and it is absolutely huge and delicious and really good value for money. The coffee was spot on. We come here often and it never disappoints.

Very delicious scones. Been here before for them. I love it! Definitely recommend this place. Nice atmosphere and the people are nice

Great spot. Great milkshakes! Very hearty breakfasts and a cool building with loads of nooks and crannies. Friendly helpful staff.

Fabulous sandwiches very filling.Staff were friendly and accommodating. Great selection cakes , lovely location decorated for Easter too

This is the quintessential English Tea rooms. The setting is stunning, the staff are lovely and the tea and scones are made with love and comfort. We come here more often than we probably should. Drs say my blood is now 65% tea and I'm having dreams about being covered in jam and clotted cream...

A quaint, barn conversion, mode into a cafe, in the heart of the village. Very helpful, friendly staff. Tasty, piping hot drinks. Excellent, hot, freshly prepared full English, with butcher's sausage & bacon. Delicious fruit scone, raspberry jam & Rodda's clotted cream. I would definitely recommend this café

Really lovely little place, always so welcoming and pleasant to visit. We came for lunch and will definitely be coming again

Food was great, and was a reallly good portion, the location is amazing as it feels very homely and adds to the atmosphere of a nice and chilled place

Delicious food, amazing portions and a lovely little spot to spend Mother’s Day. We will be back soon. Thank you to all the staff.

Had a lovely ham egg and potato lunch, staff were friendly and sat in a nice chilled atmosphere. And well worth the money.

This spot is perfect to relax in for foodie lovers, a whole range of cooked food and baked treats such a hidden gem of a place. Our favourite place in local town West Sussex.

Delightful atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, super staff. A great experience Would love to come back on a sunny day to enjoy the outside seating area.

Lovely hot drinks. Toasted sandwich’s were packed full of filling . Clean tidy premises and very friendly staff. We have had a really lovely late lunch ln a very nice cosy restaurant. All the cakes were delicious it’s a shame I couldn’t eat a slice...

The quaint entrance opens into a spacious and even quainter tea room. The cakes were amazing and the smoothies were fresh and balanced. The breakfasts were generous. I asked for no beans and they kindly added more sausage to my meal! What's not to like!

Delicious Jacket Potato, the best coleslaw 😋 friendly relaxed atmosphere & delightful team of staff. Always know you're going to get a great meal whatever you order& a pleasant welcome 😉

Unique and cosy, with friendly, welcoming staff, excellent food, cake, and service. Would highly recommend, especially if you like teapots.

I really liked the cobblestone walk tea house the food was amazing! Perfect for a post footie match hot chocolate and toastie with my mum & dad. (Charlie aged 10)

Great ambience. Very busy, good food, friendly service. It is always a treat to eat in traditional tea rooms. Coffee with an extra shot was worth every penny; enjoyed every sip.

Lovely scones and tea for three! Very accommodating when we arrived late in the afternoon after a long walk in the South Downs! Very quirky lovely set up with the low beams!

Lovely cream tea with delicious scones and setting. Would definitely come again. Cute and quaint vibes with lovely, helpful staff.

We visited this quirky gorgeous tea room as a friend had told us about it. The coffee was lovely & we both had fruit scones with cream & jam. Delicious & a good size. The staff are so friendly & welcoming which also adds to...

Great selection of cakes and brunch food and smoothies. Super friendly staff and service. Very dog friendly. Nice environment

Visited Paws for Tea (the doggy cafe next door to the Cobblestone Tea House, a split-off cafe, same team) at around 0930 with our pooch. It was empty so we asked a member of staff from the Cobblestone Tea House, who popped into Paws for...

Love discovering new places and the Cobblestone didn't disappoint. Quaint tea house serving delicious breakfasts, great service and the cakes on display look delicious. Great bustle on a Saturday morning 😊

Lovely cafe, food and drinks. Would recommend to visit with friends! Have also come breakfast which was delicious!

A lovely oldy worldy tea room. . Very friendly staff. Local products used..The food was delicious. A very popular tea room you may have to be prepared to wait at busy times.

Beautiful atmosphere, very quaint. Amazing cakes and fantastic coffee today. I have also been in for lunch before and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

We love to come to the Cobblestone Tea Rooms, beautifully decorated and our children enjoy seeing the moving polar bear family and having the amazing hot chocolates. A friendly welcome and fantastic service from lovely Lou.

Had breakfast here, excellent food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, what more could you want. Reasonable prices, well worth a visit if you are near Steyning

Excellent, friendly service and delicious food. We came for lunch with grandchildren and everyone was pleased.

Lovely quaint cafe. Staff very friendly and food lovely. Sat infront of a very friendly family of 3 polar bears 🐻‍❄

Nice and cozy, very good service. Kids loved the Xmas decorations. Locally sourced meat. Coffee is banging. Supporting a local business

Beautiful quaint cafe hidden in a magical cobble stone area. A surprise from walking through the tiny door to a warm and welcoming busy cafe. Food was very well portioned, reasonable prices. Definitely visiting again with children in tow to experience the magic.

Came in for an afternoon snack on a Sunday (open until 5pm on a Sunday!) as I wanted something hot to eat rather than a meal deal from a shop. I had the savoury afternoon tea and it was lovely! Quick seating, quick service and...

Lovely toastie and egg and bacon sandwich both very full. Staff very friendly too. Great building, very cosy.

Delicious lunch in a beautiful quirky historic tearoom, wonderful service. Savoury cream tea was perfect, and the cakes all looked delicious . Thank you!

Amazing food and tea. Highly recommend. Fresh food Nice ambience And good friendly service. Toasties and bagles were great.

We always enjoy our food at the cobblestone tea rooms we have visited for breakfast; lunch; coffee and cake for the past few years and the food and service is excellent!

Made a special trip here without reading all the reviews. Building lovely. Inside a little tired. Cakes not displayed well. Just ordered toasted teacake and two latte's in the end. Teacake came, no drinks. Asked for drinks and they came after request but really not...

Gorgeous village cafe - oak beams, low ceilings, rustic but perfect! Friendly staff and pretty quick service considering they were so busy! Delicious food and plenty of it! Highly recommend!

Always a great welcome along with plentiful, freshly cooked food . The cakes are beautiful. The atmosphere is lovely.

The food and all freshly cookled and from local producers therefore supporting local businesses and the staff are so friendly and polite.

Beautiful building and friendly staff. A great variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Amazing food and great value!

Very friendly staff.. Great old building well appointed. Bacon and egg sandwich on brown bread.... with runny yolk... very tasty. Efficient Staff kept tables clear and clean..

An absolute gem tucked off Steyning High Street, just lovely. Will certainly be back, fantastic range of gorgeous homemade cakes, and service with a smile🐜❤️

A beautiful quirky tearoom within a listed building approached within cobblestone walk . We chose a carrot cake which was clearly home made and fresh and moist with huge fruity sultanas and a delicious topping Great service and with our large pot of tea we...

Brilliant service, all the staff are extremely friendly, lovely freshly cooked food, really enjoyed the experience.

Friendly service, delicious food, a great place for a casual get together with friends and family. Great location on the heart of the historic village of Steyning

A nice tucked away cafe with inside, outside and a dog friendly area which we have visited on a few occasions. It is a great shame it always just misses the mark. However few customers there are it is a long wait to get a...

If you are in Steyning, head straight here! The most charming cafe in a medieval building just off the high st, found in a quaint shopping arcade, (lots of artists and makers to browse around). The food selection and service are excellent, we had an...

Great location and amazing food :) Myself and my partner really enjoyed the visit, went during the school holidays so was quite busy but the staff and food was lovely! there was a little wait of around 30 minutes or so but the food and...

Poor service, average food and long waits. Pity as the building is far more interesting than the food or Service. Don't bother. There are many better places in Steyning. Try Victoria Sponge for great service and far far far better service.Never waiting more then 5...

Good location and the staff are friendly but the food and service are not good. We sat outside and ordered our food which must have taken 30+ minutes to arrive. There is a sign that states food is freshly prepared and may take a while...

We've experienced a number of charming cafes recently but none have had as much character and appeal as here. The low ceilings, beams and rough plaster walls genuinely evoke a much earlier time. In addition, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the coffee and...

Lovely little place eaten there before but very disappointed on this occasion with the sandwich and toastie we ordered today. Bread both the brown and white was just what u would buy in supermarket. Said it was from local bakery but not as expected; already...

Such a shame. Visited this little restaurant today and had a bacon and Brie sandwich. Sadly the spread on the bread was margarine, the Brie was tasteless and I had to leave the bacon otherwise I would still be chewing it! Yuk!!! Such a shame...

Great food and fresh! Ultra consistent with the standards!. Always great to pop in for a visit and to see the friendly staff.

We went for a Mother’s Day lunch today, there was 9 of us and all I can say is amazing. The staff, the food, and cleanliness was second to none. It was quite busy but the service was great and what lovely staff all so...

I have to say 3 of us went here for breakfast today. We all ordered the same breakfast. Scrambled eggs bacon and tomato’s. To say we were disappointed was an understatement. The scrambled eggs were colourless and tasteless the toast soggy and the tomato also...
